Points to consider.

    * Why is the earliest evidence for the use of stone for building purposes found in Malta?
    * Can you trace development in a) building style, b) expertise in stone working, c) skill in the carving of decorative motifs?
    * Consider the environmental degradation which has occurred in these islands since the time of the temple builders
    * To what extent were the prehistoric peoples of the islands responsible for environmental degradation?
    * Were the "cart ruts" left by sledges or wheeled vehicles?
    * How did the "cart ruts" come to be eroded through the soil cover into the limestone pavement?
