OKAY, HERE’S THE STORY
Set the scene.
Archaeologist Margaret Murray excavated the Neolithic area of Borġ in-Nadur during the 1920s. Her work helped clarify questions about Maltese prehistory.
Here’s the twist.
The site also contains evidence of Bronze Age activity. Separating those phases mattered because people did not always use the same place in the same way.
Why it still matters.
Her story is a reminder to look beyond the rulers in a history book. Researchers also shape what later generations can know about the past.
