Birzebbuga or B'Buga (Italian: Birzebbugia) is a small but flourishing seaside resort not far from Marsaxlokk in south-east Malta. It is approximately 8 miles from the City of Valletta. Popular among Maltese holiday-makers for decades, this village is perhaps best known for its important archaeological sites, especially Ghar Dalam and 'Borg in-Nadur' and a sandy beach commonly known as 'Pretty Bay'. The village name 'Birzebbuga', from the Maltese, means a 'well of olives'. Such linguistic evidence established early inhabitants were in the south of the island since the first millennium. The name also indicates climate and food. Near the village of Birzebbuga is Ghar Dalam, meaning a dark cave. Ghar Dalam Cave is a highly important site, as it was here that the earliest evidence of human presence on Malta was discovered. Artifacts date back to the Neolithic Period some 7,400 years ago. The display area consists of two parts: the cave and the museum, which exhibits a remarkable wealth of finds from animal bones to human artifacts. An overlaying river running at right angles formed the cave. It is some 144 metres deep, but only the first fifty metres are open to visitors. The lowermost layers, more than 500,000 years old, contain the fossil bones of dwarf elephants, hippopotami, micro-mammals and birds. Above the pebble layer is the so-called 'deer' layer, dated to around 18,000 years ago ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
