Katya Stroud looks at how the Tarxien temples of Malta have been interpreted through time. She finds exactly what a modern theoretically inclined archaeologists would expect, that archaeological interpretations have been rooted in 20th century religious perspectives and scholarly traditions, changing as the zeitgeist changed. In opposition to these heavily biased interpretations, Stroud argues for a new perspective which will lead to more dynamic interpretations – an endeavour that, as discussed above, is at the heart of skyscape archaeology.
