Research Cluster on Pottery Studies in the Maltese Islands

Research Cluster on Pottery Studies in the Maltese Islands

This research cluster is the first of its kind to be set up at the Department of Classics and Archaeology. Its remit is broad and fosters links between researchers from several institutions studying all aspects of pottery from the Maltese Islands. Our research area chronologically spans the earliest prehistoric material to the post-Medieval period, and comprises research on classification, fabric characterisation, residue analysis and functionality amongst others. 

The scope of the research cluster is to bring together multiple researchers who have a past or active interest in researching and studying all aspects of pottery from the Maltese Islands.

The main aims are to:

1) create an accessible platform on which to contact researchers as well as disseminate up-to-date research, projects and publications; and

2) provide a framework in which future collaborative projects can be created, discussed and launched.
