  • Islandscapes Under Question: the Maltese Archipelago, Pantelleria and Marettimo and Their Contexts in Classical Antiquity
    Islandscapes under question: the Maltese Archipelago, Pantelleria and Marettimo and their contexts in classical Antiquity. PASCAL ARNAUD “Malta, my dear sir, is in my thoughts, sleeping and waking” (Sir Horatio Nelson) During the last two decades, three new concepts were introduced in the field of maritime archaeology, and in maritime history as a whole. The first was that of “Maritime Cultural Landscape” defined as the “whole network of sailing routes, old as well as new, with ports and harbours along the coast, and its related con- structions and remains of human activity, underwater as well as terrestrial” (Westerdhal 1992: 6). It opposed Natural Landscape (i.e. geo-biological determin- isms) and Cultural Landscape (human impact) and reached a fair success in the fol- lowing years among many scholars (Parker 1999). It quickly led to the specializa- tion of the notion of Landscape as to indicate natural landscape, as opposed to other particular, mainly cultural, landscapes (Gosden & Head 1994). The concept of “Seascape” (Gosden & Pavlides 1994) was thus applied to islands considered as lands partially determined by the sea, in a balanced view of the complementary im- pacts of Man and Nature. Increased interest in Island Archaeology, especially among prehistorians, led many to consider islands as a world per se and insularity as a sufficient common feature. In other words, the implicit premise of island ar- chaeology was “that insular human societies show intrinsic characteristics essen- tially dissimilar from those on mainlands” (Boomert & Bright 2007: 3). In 1996, a dissertation about Archaeology of the Early Cyclades, published four years later (Broodbank 2000) introduced the notion of “Islandscape”, which focused on the Islands, especially under the cultural aspect of maritime connectivity, a concept made essential by recent research in the history of the classical Mediterranean as a whole (Horden & Purcell 2000).

Ditch Street Paola, Malta PLA 1234; email: [email protected] 224, Camilleri Court, Flt 5, Il-Marlozz Street, Mellieha, Malta MLH 4100; email: [email protected] ABSTRACT During the last decade, the authors visited several stacks (Faraglione) which are satellites islets around the main circum-sicilian islands. Most of these stacks are inaccessible to the general public due to their geographical and topographical positions/inclinations. Literature is often scarce or non-existent. The current work provides a preliminary data on the floral diversity recorded during the brief expeditions between the years 2008–2018. All of these islets were observed once, so this study does not reflect all of the possibly existing species of these islets. The current study caters the Faraglione di Colombara of Ustica, Isola dei Conigli, Scoglio del Sacramento and Scoglio di Faraglione of Lampedusa, Faraglione di Tracino and Faraglione di Ficaria/indietro l’isola of Pantelleria. Another islet is the Scoglio dello Zio Gennaro, Taormina, Sicily. KEY WORDS Vegetation; satellites islets; circum-sicilian islands.

  • Pottery from Roman Malta
    Cover Much of what is known about Malta’s ancient material culture has come to light as a result of antiquarian research or early archaeological work – a time where little attention Anastasi MALTA ARCHAEOLOGICAL REVIEW SUPPLEMENT 1 was paid to stratigraphic context. This situation has in part contributed to the problem of reliably sourcing and dating Maltese Roman-period pottery, particularly locally produced forms common on nearly all ancient Maltese sites. Pottery from Roman Malta presents a comprehensive study of Maltese pottery forms from key stratified deposits spanning the first century BC to mid-fourth century AD. Ceramic material from three Maltese sites was analysed and quantified in a bid to understand Maltese pottery production during the Roman period, and trace the type and volume of ceramic-borne goods that were circulating the central Mediterranean during the period. A short review of the islands’ recent literature on Roman pottery is discussed, followed by a detailed Pottery from Roman Malta contextual summary of the archaeological contexts presented in this study. The work is supplemented by a detailed illustrated catalogue of all the forms identified within the assemblages, presenting the wide range of locally produced and imported pottery types typical of the Maltese Roman period. Maxine Anastasi is a Lecturer at the Department of Classics and Archaeology, University of Malta. She was awarded a DPhil in Archaeology from the University of Oxford for her dissertation on small-island economies in the Central Mediterranean. Her research primarily focuses on Roman pottery in the central Mediterranean, with a particular Malta from Roman Pottery emphasis on Maltese assemblages.

  • Has the Tide Turned? Refuge and Sanctuary in the Euro- Mediterranean Space
    BORDERS, MIGRATIONS, ASYLUM AND REFUGE Has the Tide Turned? Refuge and Sanctuary in the Euro- Mediterranean Space Dawn Chatty Picture by Carole Hénaff The watery expanse of the Mediterranean Sea, also called Mare Nostrum (Our Sea) or Mare Internum (the Internal Sea) along its northern rim and the Bahr Al Abyad Al- Mutawasit ―the White Internal (Middle) Sea― along its eastern and southern Rim, has for centuries served as a connector rather than a separator. This large body of internal water was a conduit for maritime trade, for socio-cultural exchange, and, often, was a space of escape, exile and sanctuary. Between the 11th and 13th centuries, it saw European military expeditions set out to ‘retake the Holy Land’. In the 15th century, a number of Capitulations were established between the Ottoman Empire and its key trading cities with Venice, Genoa, Lucca, Florence, Amalfi, and Venice creating significant mercantile movement across the Mediterranean. These diplomatic and trade relations later extended to France, Germany and other European nations and saw significant traffic moving silks, textiles, and carpets among other goods from the terminus of the silk road across the Mediterranean into Europe. Alongside these progressive developments, corsairs, between the 16th and 18th centuries, also operated disrupting many of these established trade relations and creating hostilities and notions of insecurity across the Mediterranean. Throughout centuries, the Mediterranean Sea was a conduit for economic, military and diplomatic relations, but it was also an PÀGINA 1 / 8 escape route for those seeking safety or fearing assassination Throughout centuries, the Mediterranean Sea was a conduit for economic, military, and diplomatic relations but it was also an escape route for those seeking safety or fearing assassination.

    1 The Limits of Hospitality. Lampedusa, Local Perspectives and Undocumented Migration Paper presented at the Migration Working Group, EUI, Florence, 13.2.2008 First draft, do not quote without permission Heidrun Friese, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main and Europa Universität Viadrina, Frankfurt/Oder In queste mura non ci si sta che di passaggio. Qui la meta è partire Giuseppe Ungaretti Dans les civilisations sans bateaux les rêves se tarissent Michel Foucault Abstract Since the late 1990's the island of Lampedusa has become one of the European frontiers for 'irregular' migrants and asylum seekers and a powerful symbol for European policies that try to limit their entrance. Based on extensive anthropological fieldwork, the paper presents first insights of an ongoing multi- sited project on The Limits of Hospitality and envisions the various local actors and areas of conflicts that are articulated by the increasing arrival of undocumented migrants. Historically, hospitality has been a religious and ethical duty, a (sacred) demand of charity, generosity and responsibility. With the development of the modern nation-state, such duties have been inscribed into the procedures of organized, public solidarity and into the national and international legal system that order citizenship, (political) membership and the precarious status assigned to 'aliens' that shape, govern and limit the hospitable welcome of an Other. At the same time, concepts of hospitality gained an immense relevance for ongoing debates on migration, globalization and multiculturalism and are currently been discussed in philosophical debates on renewed forms of cosmopolitism, global justice and the rights of others which aim at troubling the conventional congruence of citizenship, territory and belonging.

    2 6SEP1991 ANTHONY BONANNO Malta's Changing Role in Mediterranean Cross-Currents: From Prehistory to Roman Times Reprint from: MALTA A Case Study in International Cross-Currents edited by Stanley Fiorini and Victor Mallia-Milanes pp.1-12 Malta 1991 i8887 4 MALTA'S CHANGING ROLE IN MEDITERRANEAN CROSS-CURRENTS From Prehistory to Roman Times Anthony Bonanno The Mediterranean started to assume its fundamental role of a unifying agent between peoples, cultures and between the different lands that surround it - between east and west, between north and south - during the seventh millen­ nium B.C., that is, when the earliest signs of trade appeared which were stimulated by the availability of surplus food brought about by the discovery and adoption of agriculture in the Near East.1 Trade and agriculture inter­ acted in such a way as to spread the new (or Neolithic) way of life, in all its facets, to the rest of the Mediterranean. Trade helped to spread the idea of agriculture to all the shores of the Mediterranean and beyond, and through trade the Neolithic farmers discovered increasingly more land to harness for agricultural purposes in order to feed the growing population. 2 It is probably as a result of the same stimuli of trade and land-hunger that the Maltese islands came to be inhabited for the first time, around 5000 B.C., by farmers originating from the southern districts of nearby Sicily? As Malta 1 The first forms of trade can, indeed, be traced between early Neolithic cultures inhabiting the Mediterranean coast and others established further inland, such as sea shells from the Mediter­ ranean and the Red Sea found on inland sites and obsidian from central Anatolia found in the earliest levels at Jericho.
