ABSTRACT
A model of a niche at present on display at the National Museum of Archaeology
is reassessed and compared with earlier descriptions. New interpretations
of possible connections with the weaving industry are forwarded. The conclusions
are discussed within the framework of available evidence for the industry
of cloth making in the context of Maltese Prehistory.
