The Superintendence of Cultural Heritage, in line with its regulatory role, undertakes archaeological investigations, as well as receives a number of requests for the carrying out of excavations within the Maltese territory. Research requests may also be received from local and foreign universities, academic institutions and entities.
The Superintendence supports such research initiatives, when these provide a valid contribution to the research agenda of the local cultural heritage, and are in line with its statutory role in ensuring accessibility to Malta’s cultural heritage.
