In celebration of the 2022 edition of European Archaeology Days, the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage put together a catalogue of oil lamps, discovered locally, which cover 2000 years of Maltese History, and a special edition of ‘Meet the Find’. 

Both campaigns highlighted the fascinating study of archaeology, the intricate relationship between site and object, and the people behind these discoveries. 

‘Light Up the Past’
