It is expected that the unique archaeological artefacts, that were discovered during excavations at the Gozo Stone Circle in Xaghra, will be returned to Gozo next year, following the installation by the Gozo Ministry of state-of-the-art showcases at the Gozo Museum of Archaeology, one of the four museums in the Citadel that are managed by Heritage Malta.

I had the same kind of reaction the first time I heard of Grover Washington.
