"Great Stones" Monumentality Symposium on the Mediterranean Island of Malta
23 and 24 September 2018.
What drove ancient societies to change the landscape and create monumental ritual, ceremonial, contemplative and gathering places? We will consider the traditions of various Indigenous people in pursuit of a clearer understanding of the genesis of community-driven built environment.

We'll explore the continuity of cultural tradition.
