    • This excavation was carried out by Clive Vella and Daniel Borg on behalf of ASC Ltd under the direction of the Superintendence for Cultural Heritage. Located in the main square of contemporary Mdina, archaeological monitoring uncovered a series of ashlar masonry under less than 20 cms of topsoil. This alignment was followed for ten metres and bounded by a quarrying pit carried out around the 15th century. Excavations uncovered rare Norman and Early Islamic deposits. Also, an Aragonese pit was excavated in full extent. At a depth of almost 4.5 metres excavations uncovered a primary Borg In-Nadur (Mid Bronze Age)that has confirmed the existence of a Bronze Age settlement on the grounds of Mdina. The archaeological report is still undergoing writing.
