Publications about the different parts of the project are currently being prepared (2023). Catalogues of the pottery sherds will be progressively made accessible (see Grey Literature).
Our first publication was accepted in July 2023 and is accessible:

On the 28th of May 2021, a webinar "Pottery under the microscope: Taking stock of pottery fabric studies in Malta [PDF]" was organised on fabric studies in Malta. The MaltaPot project and its preliminary results were presented as well as different projects looking at pottery fabric in later periods and the impact of COVID-19 on the outreach of pottery projects.
Dr. Ing. J.C. Betts and Emma Richard-Trémeau participated in the 1min and 1-slide presentation [PDF] session during at the online seminar Central Mediterranean Prehistory Seminar on the 18th of May 2022.
Catalogues of the pottery samples were created during the MaltaPot project. It is essential before destructive analysis to record features of the artefact, and catalogues can be used to record all the vessel's characteristics. The first catalogue was released in 2023 on the open-access platform Zenodo:
Two latex scripts to present artefacts were written and recently made accessible online for Tex users. These scripts can be used and modified freely as long as they attribute the author.
