Wessex Archaeology, working in partnership with Odgers Conservation Consultants, has been appointed by Heritage Malta to carry out metric survey and detailed archaeological conservation assessment of the above-ground and underground structures within two sites on Malta, the Għajn Tuffieha Roman Baths and the Ta’ Bistra Catacombs.
Following a start-up meeting and preliminary site visits attended by Andy Crockett (Regional Manager, Wessex Archaeology) and David Odgers (Director, Odgers Conservation), the metric survey is scheduled to begin during March, with the final conservation assessment report completed in July. The work is funded through European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) Measure 12/323 – Rehabilitation of Roman Baths and Christian Catacombs (REBACA).
