Malta and Gozo - Experiences of a study tour from 14th to 21st September 2019 Text and Photos: Hans-Rudolf Neumann Saturday, 14th September 2019 The morning flight from Berlin via Frankfurt Main to Malta with Lufthansa ran without any incidents. But check-in service in Berlin leaves a lot to be desired; the transition to digital full automation to reduce staff provoked the oppo- site effect. Luggage check-in and boarding on two different ends of the airport caused anno- yance, while during boarding two flights were serviced on the same counter. One two Warsaw and one to Frankfurt Main – the line on luggage security was more than 200 people and it was safe to ask the pilot again if this is the right plane when entering the plane. The on-board meal on the flight to Frankfurt consisted of a 30 g al- mond tartlet of a 65 mm size and a drink, on the connecting flight to Malta we had a honey nut bar and another drink.

Deciding What to Exhibit in Museums: Does It Really Matter?
Deciding what to exhibit in museums: Does it really matter? Veronica Barbara Of all the abundant papers focusing on museum environments, few dismantle the decision making process which characterizes the planning of displays and site presentations, going beyond space restrictions and physical needs of ancient artefacts. Such an approach is essential to understand why these decisions matter. A natural question which is seldom asked is, why display to the public in the first place? The present paper will start with this question, discussing briefly the two main theoretical stances in current western discourse on the subject. Two local case-studies will follow, supplemented by examples ofprojects which revolve around archaeology and communities. In the conclusion, theory and case-studies will be brought together in order to explain the link between archaeologists and non-archaeologists vis-a-vis archaeological heritage presentation. Models of museum and site presentation 'Neanderthal Man in Malta?' Why do people feel the need to display archaeological The first case-study has as its focus the site of Ghar material? The two main museum models in western Dalam (Birzebbuga). Albeit not as 'touristically' discourse are the Deficit Model and the Multiple popular as other sites, it is extremely significant Perspective Model (Merriman 2004, 5). The Deficit for speleological, paleontological, ecological and Model considers "the public" as an uneducated mass archaeological reasons (Zammit Maempel 1989, in need of professionals to give them "the science" Fabri 2007). The pillar of deposits left in place by the behind artefacts. The main aim of exhibiting within archaeologists makes it the perfect site to understand this model is to make people understand archaeology stratigraphic processes.
