SUMMARY:Able seafarers and hunter-gatherers: the story of the earliest human presence at Latnija Cave
DESCRIPTION:Last April\, the announcement of the results of archaeological excavations carried out at the Latnija Cave received acclaim for rewriting the narrative about the earliest human presence on Malta. This lecture will consider the evidence found by an international team of archaeologists working at Latnija since 2019\, drawing on a suite of scientific analyses to identify the nature and extent of human activity in the cave. Results are allowing the researchers to consider the affordances of small island settlement in the Mesolithic and the ramifications of the longest sea crossings in the Mediterranean at this time. \nProf. Eleanor Scerri is an archaeological scientist based at the Max Planck Institute for Geo-anthropology in Germany\, where she is the head of the Human Palaeosystems Research Group. Her research seeks to uncover the origins of our species\, our global spread\, and our interactions with the environment – with implications for present-day challenges. To do this\, she combines archaeology with climate science\, genetics and computational methods. She has authored over 75 publications on this subject\, including in top scientific journals worldwide. In doing so\, she has achieved global prominence for formulating the dominant models of recent human evolution and driving key breakthroughs.\nIn palaeoanthropology. Most recently\, she is the Principal Investigator of the European Research Council-funded ‘IslandLab’ project\, a 1.5 million euro project that is rewriting the prehistory of the Maltese Islands and\, more broadly\, the entire Mediterranean region. She has held positions at the University of Bordeaux and the University of Oxford before joining the Max Planck Society. \nNicholas Vella is a Professor in the Department of Classics and Archaeology at the University of Malta\, where he joined in 1999. He writes on Mediterranean history and archaeology\, with a focus on the ancient Phoenicians and the history of archaeological thought and practice. He has co-directed numerous excavations on multi-period sites in the Maltese Islands as part of research-led fieldwork\, teaching\, and student training. He is a Co-Investigator on the ‘IslandLab’ project\, for which he co-directs the fieldwork at Latnija. He has been a Rome Scholar at the British School at Rome\, a Getty Villa Scholar in Los Angeles\, and a Research Associate at the American University of Beirut. He has led the Department of Classics and Archaeology (2011/19) and the University of Malta’s Doctoral School (2017/25).

SUMMARY:Talk on the Jewish Community in Malta in the Post WWII period - part of the Tayar Foundation's Holocaust Memorial
DESCRIPTION:La Valette Rotarians\, Julius Nehori and Patricia Salomone\, are involved in the Holocaust Memorial evening events to be held on the 27th January. We thought it would be of interest to share this event with club members who wish to join. \nThe main speaker for the evening will be Sir Bernard Eder KC\, who was born to this family in Malta in the 1950s.  He will talk about how his family found refuge here in Malta from Vienna at the time of the Anschluss.  His talk will be illustrated by interesting photos of the time.  Members of his family will accompany him in gratitude to the Maltese people who gave their family shelter. \nAnother speaker will be Mr Nathaniel Calleja Gera\, a historian\, who will illustrate the history of the Jewish presence in Malta since Ancient Roman times and also inform us about immigration laws during WWII. \nThe Tayar Foundation will host the event with the support of the Embassies of the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Israel. The Hon Dr Ian Borg\, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism\, will give a welcoming address. \nA question and answer session will follow the talks\, and refreshments will be offered at the end of the event. \nEntrance is free of charge. \nFor further details and in order to receive an invitation to attend\, the public is kindly asked to register on: \nhttps://jewishheritagemalta.org/2025/12/10/international-holocaust-remembrance-day-2026/
