History 1798 saw the taking over of Malta by the French army who forced out the Order of the Knights of St. John out from Malta and took over and administered the property during their two-year occupation of the Islands. Malta once again changed hands during the 1800, passing on to the British Government. During that time the Auberge served a myriad of purposes amongst which, a military barrack and a hotel. In 1826 the Malta Union Club leased the premises for its own activities and events, a lease which was however terminated earlier than agreed, on 12 August 1955, when the Auberge was allocated to house Malta’s National Museum.

Re: Archaeology is not a highly paid profession From Date : Tue, 24 Feb 2009 22:09:38 +0100 I think Mike Pitt's comments at the end of the article are quite pertinent. People certainly do NOT become archaeologists to get rich. We become archaeologists because we want to be archaeologists. The problem now is remaining an archaeologist. I am now having to seek employment as a teacher because there is nowhere for me to practice my profession at the moment. If I am succesful I suspect I will not return to archaeology as I simply won't be able to afford it! I am not an professional archaeologist, so I don't know exactly how the economic situation effects archaeology overhere (The Netherlands). Since 'Malta' archaeology is a booming business, but of course dependend on all kinds of building programs. If the planning of building- and infrastructural projects stagnates, the archaeological enterprises go with it. But hey, perhaps then there will be time to evaluate all those findings that are gathering dust in the warehouses. http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Archaeologist/Salary
