马耳他瓦莱塔报道 — 马耳他遗产局11月11日发布新闻稿，瓦莱塔国家考古博物馆新展《塔斯西尔格：数千年的相遇与崇拜之地》（Tas-Silġ: A Place of Encounters and Worship for Millennia）开幕，展至2027年5月31日，入场含在博物馆门票内。
据新闻稿，塔斯西尔格（Tas-Silġ）是马耳他持续使用时间最长的考古遗址，本次展览首次把该遗址历次发掘出土的一批文物集中在一处展出，引导观众走过遗址记录的逾4000年人类活动。展览由马耳他遗产局、马耳他大学、意大利驻马耳他考古使团与文化遗产监管局密切合作开发，是正在瓦莱塔举行的第十一届腓尼基与布匿研究国际大会的组成部分。
遗址位于俯瞰马尔萨什洛克湾的山丘上，始于新石器时代晚期的巨石建筑群，历经青铜时代与铁器时代，后成为重要的腓尼基、布匿与罗马宗教中心，再改建为带洗礼池的拜占庭教堂群，最终变为农业庄园。重点展品包括一件来自美索不达米亚尼普尔、刻有楔形文字的玛瑙月牙饰，年代为公元前13世纪至公元前12世纪初；一件公元前6世纪真人大小的象牙耳朵，可能出自遗址主神阿斯塔尔特的崇拜雕像；以及新制作的遗址三维数字复原。博物馆在2027年1月3日前每日上午9时至下午5时开放，展厅全无障碍通行，配套图录在博物馆与遗产局网店有售。
Tas-Silg Exhibition Announced November 11 in Valletta, Malta: Artefacts From More Than 4,000 Years Shown Together for the First Time, Through May 31, 2027
VALLETTA, Malta — Heritage Malta announced on November 11 a new exhibition at the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta, Tas-Silġ: A Place of Encounters and Worship for Millennia, running until May 31, 2027, with admission included in the museum ticket.
According to the release, Tas-Silġ is the archaeological site with the longest continuous use in Malta, and for the first time a selection of artefacts from the site's numerous excavations are brought together in one display, guiding visitors through over 4,000 years of human activity recorded on site. The exhibition was developed through close collaboration between Heritage Malta, the University of Malta, the Italian Archaeological Mission in Malta and the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage, and forms part of the 11th International Congress of Phoenician and Punic Studies being held in Valletta.
Situated on a hill overlooking Marsaxlokk Bay, Tas-Silġ began as a Late Neolithic megalithic complex, remained in use through the Bronze and Iron Ages, became an important Phoenician-Punic and Roman religious centre, was later transformed into a Byzantine church complex complete with a baptismal font, and was eventually turned into an agricultural estate. Highlights include a cuneiform-inscribed agate lunar crescent from Nippur in Mesopotamia, dating to the 13th to early 12th century BC; a 6th-century BC life-sized ivory ear, possibly from the cult statue of Astarte, the sanctuary's central deity; and newly created 3D digital reconstructions of the site. The museum opens daily from 09:00 to 17:00 until January 3, 2027, the exhibition space is fully accessible, and an accompanying catalogue is on sale at the museum and online.
