According to the Museum Annual Report
for the years 1928-9, the Police Occurrences
Register for the period 20/12/1928- 9/4/1929,
and Public Works correspondence for the
period 5/9/1928 - 3/4/1929, a burial was
discovered in a quarry at Ta' Sannat on 7th
January 1929. The report of the discovery
was initially received by Mr Edward Borg
Cardona, the District Engineer Public Works
Department (Gozo). Together with Supt. E.
Galea, he immediately visited the site and gave
instructions to halt works and for the site to
also submitted to the Director of Museums.
The burial yielded a small jar, an oenochoe
(wine-jug), and a red clay lamp close to a heap
of human bones. This is probably what was
seen by Prof. Terni Zammit, the Archaeology
section curator, when six days later (on 13th
January), accompanied by Mr Edward Borg
Cardona, he examined the site and the finds that
had been lifted from the tomb.peer-reviewe
