About
Clive Vella received his B.A (with Honors) in Archaeology from the University of Malta in 2004. In 2009, he completed his M.A with distinction in Archaeology from the same university. His dissertation was the first research-driven study in the Maltese Islands to deal with lithic tools and their subsequent effects on prehistoric interpretation. Between 2008 and 2009, he held a government research grant at the Universita Degli Studi Di Roma “La Sapienza” where he worked on the application of use-wear analysis to lithic assemblages.
Clive has numerous years of CRM and post-excavation experience in Malta and has also participated in research excavations in Southern Italy (Chiancudda 2009 and Coppa Nevigata 2007, 2008, 2009) and Gibraltar (2009). He is currently a staff researcher at the Tas-Silg excavation led by the Missione Archeologica Italiana a Malta. His research interests are focused on the Late Neolithic to Late Bronze Age Western Mediterranean, especially offshore islands. He studies the effects of islands on their settlers, subsequent trade, and the act of voyaging. Finally, he is also interested in the internal organizational set-up of settlements, especially fortified Bronze Age settlements.
