Oxford: Archaeopress Publishing Ltd, 2016.
This attractively edited volume brings to publication George A. Said-Zammit’s extensive study on the development of domestic space in the Maltese archipelago, covering a 600-year time-frame spanning from the Late Medieval till the post-Independence period.
The presented research is interdisciplinary in nature and draws upon a healthy mixture of primary and secondary sources of evidence, comprising data obtained from archival research, notarial deeds, travelogues, cartography, ethnographic data recording, field research, literary sources and oeuvres d’art as well as a close scrutiny of Malta’s political and societal development.
