The Qlejgħa tal-Baħrija plateau sits prominently along the western coast of the Maltese Islands. -- Figure 2. Satellite image showing the various features and excavations documented on Qlejgħa tal-Baħrija. -- Figure 3. Plan of the trenches excavated by T. E. Peet in 1909. (after Peet 1910, p. 150). 
505 8 |a Figure 4. Among Trump's first entries on the site is this sketch onto which he was marking the area's main features prior to the excavation. (After Trump 'Field Notes', p. 4). -- Table 1. Trump's new numbering system for the layers found within his trenches (Trump 'Notebook I', p. 27). -- Figure 5. Trump published the drawing of the northern section of trenches B to D (A), in which the layers are not numbered. It is only through corroboration with the accompanying text and, particularly, the notebooks and sketches, that these can be clearl 
505 8 |a Figure 6. Accompanying Trump's excavation notebook are a number of to-scale drawings that give us direct insight into how the sections actually looked like. (after Trump 'Notebook I', p. opp. 27). -- Figure 7. Trump's excavation notebook allows us to reconstruct the northern section of trenches B-D and the actual stratigraphic sequence of the excavation (based on sketches and notes in Trump 'Notebook I' -- redrawn and compiled by D. Cardona). -- Figure 8. Fragments of a large jar in trench B. (Original sketch from Trump 'Notebook I'). 
505 8 |a Figure 9. Among the main artefacts discovered during Trump's excavation is this platter found in the northern extent of trench E. The other platter sketched in his sketch (top) is not clearly identifiable but may possibly refer to the second hearth docume -- Figure 10. Taken across the third metre of trench D, this sketch provides the only plan of Trump's entire excavation. It is accompanied by a note stating that the grey layer 5 was found in pockets extending to the northern 30 cm of the trench only. Beyon

Among the pits studied by Zammit and Cardona are a few preserving an intact rim intended to hold a lid, like the one shown here. -- Il-Qlejgħa tal-Baħrija: an archaeological survey -- M. E. Zammit -- Figure 1. Tracts surveyed and sample area from where pottery was collected (collection squares). -- Figure 2. Pottery counted in the survey area, grouped by density. -- Figure 3.
