dc.description.abstract	Malta's ancient history, including its prehistory, is intricately linked with that of its closest neighbour, the island of Sicily. Sicily was the land of origin of its first colonisers. Sicily was the source from which these early farmers brought the first domesticated animals and seeds to help them set up a new agricultural economy on the archipelago. From Sicily they brought the first raw materials for their lithic instruments as well as their whole cultural baggage. Throughout the Neolithic (5000-4100 BC; Table 1) the inhabitants of the Maltese islands maintained a steady flow of imported hard stone from Sicily (flint) or via Sicily (Lipari and Pantelleria obsidian).	en_GB
