We would like to make appropriate parties aware of the following event in case anyone would like to participate.
"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.
