    The area surrounding Dwejra has witnessed human activity in one form or another for more than 7000 years. Pottery shreds recovered from the Għajn Abdul site have indicated the presence of Ghar Dalam man, the first known Neolithic culture of the Maltese islands. The Temple period (4200-2500 BC) is also represented in a few pottery remains at Ix-Xaqqufija, limits of Għarb. Part of a spindle whorl and pottery sherds recovered from two roofless caves in the Għajn Abdul area give evidence of activity in the Bronze Age. Sites belonging to the early historical period are more numerous in the Dwejra area and large foundation stones near a large reservoir roofed with large stone slabs point to a Roman dating. The site at Ras il-Wardija, with its rock-cut rectangular chamber, cistern and reservoir has been securely dated to 300 BC - 200 AD. The early medieval period seems to be unrepresented in terms of remains. Documents going back to the early sixteenth century show that fields in the area were in private ownership and that a rural chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas was erected nearby. In 1652 the Dwejra Tower was built to secure this part of Gozo from the frequent incursions prevalent at the time and to watch over Fungus Rock, home to the precious Fungus melitensis. The dating of a pair of deeply incised cart-ruts cutting across the rocky outcrop overlooking the Inland Sea is far from secure but they are evidence of great activity at a particular time. The same can be said of the salt pans, the surface quarries and a system of rock cut pans. For more information please visit www.dwejra.org
