An Early Roman rock-cut tomb at Wied l-Għasri, Gozo

This rock-cut tomb was discovered in Wied l-Għasri in April 1979. It consisted of an access shaft and a single burial chamber, classifying it as the more common type of Maltese rock-cut tombs of the period. The find was recorded in the Museum Annual Report. The grave goods consisted of several urns with lids, a number of two-handled amphorae, saucers and other containers, a corroded bronze mirror and some copper coins. The ceramics are stylistically datable to the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. Many of the urns still contain cremated human remains.
