Research on a Phoenician-era shipwreck off Xlendi in Gozo can help us better understand our past, Professor Timmy Gambin told The Malta Independent...
“This is one of seven Phoenician shipwrecks in the world so any proper study that comes out of these seven shipwrecks is absolutely important.”
Following the four-year excavation project of the Phoenician shipwreck that is located off the coast of Xlendi, the team of international experts, led by the University of Malta, has recently begun a new four-year Post-Excavation Project (2022-2025)...
Gambin gave a brief overview of a few different methods within the post-excavation project.
Firstly, he spoke about the method of conservation, which begins immediately during the project of excavation. He further stated that the process of conservation varies depending on the material they are working with. He gave the example of pottery, where in this case they would need to desalinate the pottery over a long period of time...
In relation to this, he mentioned Dr Maxime Anastasi who is part of their department and is an expert on clays of the Mediterranean. “She can identify where the objects have been made or at least where the clay was sourced from.”...
In the case of wood, they will measure the levels of carbon-14 in order to determine the period a piece of wood is from.
Moreover, he spoke about the process of Lipid analysis. He explained how Lipids are fats and through Lipid analysis they are looking for traces of fats that have been absorbed by the ceramics.

Weird, not unheard of, for me to do the weekly digest a day early. Usually when it's not on schedule it's a day or so late. I don't even know me anymore.
