Excavations at Caherconnell FortDig into the Story of a Stone Fort in the Burren in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 38 with Dr Michelle ComberExcavations at Caherconnell FortDig into the Story of a Stone Fort in the Burren in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 38 with Dr Michelle ComberIn this fascinating discussion with Dr Michelle Comber, we discuss the excavations, the wealth of archaeology in the Burren, and generational continuity at Caherconnell Fort. We also hear from some of the excavation team who tell us of their experiences.The Burren is one of my favourite places. It’s somewhat stark and bleak appearance gives a false impression of a barren landscape, when it is anything but. The valleys and high pastures of the Burren are thronged with archaeological monuments, representing millennia of settlement from the earliest phases of prehistory to the present day. This teeming historic landscape has remained relatively unaltered in comparison to other parts of Ireland. This offers wonderful opportunities to understand the monuments themselves, as well as their local landscapes, providing a contextual and cultural understanding of people and place.There are few better examples of this sort of study than the ongoing series of excavations at Caherconnell Fort in the heart of the Burren. The site has been investigated through a number of field schools led by Dr. Michelle Comber of the University of Galway. The townland of Caherconnell is dominated by one of the largest stone forts in the Burren, and as well as the main fort there are two smaller ones, and a number of other archaeological monuments and features ranging in date from the prehistoric to the late medieval.In this episode of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Neil had the opportunity to chat with Michelle to hear about the site itself, the field school and the fantastic collaborative and mutually beneficial model where archaeology, farming and tourism all benefit from a better understanding and appreciation of place.

In this episode we’re joined by Dr Ruth Carden and Dr Rebecca Boyd, who tell us about an exciting new collaborative research project seeks to dig into the story of Viking dogs.In this episode of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Neil was joined by Dr Ruth Carden and Dr Rebecca Boyd, who discussed their fascinating new project Viking Dublin Dogs. This collaborative, grass-roots project seeks to discover more about the life and death of Viking and Medieval Dogs in Dublin and beyond. It involves exploring the historical records for references to dogs and wolves, and the examination of the skeletal remains of dogs, radiocarbon dating, isotopic analysis and a study of their DNA. The team hope that this work will help to answer questions about the origins of dogs and their relationship with wolves, whether dogs can tell us anything about status and society, the different type of roles that dogs performed, and whether the Vikings who settled in Dublin brought their own dogs with them from their Scandinavian homelands.This is a really exciting project, so listen in to discover how you can help to discover the story of Dublin’s viking dogs.

Viking Dogs – Amplify Archaeology Podcast

Clough Oughter CastleCon Manning joins us to discuss the archaeology of an island fortressClogh Oughter CastleCon Manning joins us to discuss the archaeology of an island fortressIn this episode, one of Ireland’s most experienced archaeologists, Con Manning, discusses the excavations at Clogh Oughter Castle. An island fortress in County Cavan.Clogh Oughter Castle consists of a strong, circular stone tower strategically (and beautifully) positioned on a small island in the middle of Lough Oughter in County Cavan. The castle was originally constructed in the early 13th century, possibly on the site of an earlier crannóg. Throughout its turbulent history Clogh Oughter Castle has served different roles, from the guardian of the South Ulster lakelands, to a prison. In this episode of Amplify Archaeology Podcast we chat to Con Manning who carried out excavations at the castle in the 1980s. Con is one of Ireland’s most experienced archaeologists. In his 40+ years with the National Monuments Service, he has been involved in excavations and publications on some of Ireland’s most important archaeological monuments. Con discusses a little of his background, before we turn to the history of Clogh Oughter Castle, ending with the brutal siege of the 17th century. We’ll discuss the dig, why it took place and hear about some of the key findings and how they tell a story of life and death at the castle over the centuries.AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST Title: Clogh Oughter Castle Duration: 71 mins.

Clogh Oughter Castle – Amplify Archaeology Podcast

A Newgrange SolsticeJoin us for this special archive edition for a Newgrange SolsticeA Newgrange SolsticeJoin us for this special archive edition for a Newgrange SolsticeJoin us for this special archival edition of Amplify Archaeology Podcast, to hear the story of the Newgrange Solstice with Dr Jessica Smyth, Professor Gabriel Cooney, Clare Tuffy, Dr Robert Hensey and Professor Muiris O’Sullivan.At this time of the year, as the Winter Solstice approaches, many people think of Newgrange and its solstice alignment. Newgrange is a world heritage site, a 5,000 year old passage tomb on the banks of the River Boyne in County Meath, Ireland. Each year people gather around the tomb in celebration, while the lucky few lottery winners get to go inside to experience a truly magical event. As when the skies are clear at dawn, a golden beam of sunlight travels up the ancient passageway to illuminate the chamber.  Back in December 2020, a winter of covid restrictions and lockdowns all of those wonderful celebrations were cancelled. So I had the idea to try to tell the story of Newgrange and the experience of the solstice by interviewing the people who know the site best. We made a 5 part miniseries, each episode released in the days coming up to the solstice, featuring experts like Dr Jessica Smyth, Professor Gabriel Cooney, Dr Robert Hensey, Professor Muiris O’Sullivan, and Clare Tuffy who has experienced 30 years of solstices at Newgrange in her work for the OPW. This podcast takes clips from those episodes to give an overview of the significance of the Newgrange Solstice, and what it might all mean. But I do recommend digging into the individual episodes as this only just scratches the surface of a truly fascinating subject.AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTAMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTTitle: A Newgrange SolsticeDuration: 55 mins.Summary: In this special archival edition we hear all about the Newgrange Solstice from the people who know the site bestThe Winter Solstice at Newgrange Podcast Miniseries by Amplify ArchaeologyThis episode features snippets from the five part series on Newgrange and the Winter Solstice.

A Newgrange Solstice – Amplify Archaeology Podcast

Moynagh LoughDig into the Story of this incredible legacy project in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 34 with Dr Michael PottertonMoynagh LoughDig into the Story of this incredible legacy project in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 34 with Dr Michael PottertonMoynagh Lough is hidden away in a quiet hollow in the drumlin landscape near the village of Nobber in County Meath. From the late 19th century, hints began to emerge of it being a place of importance, but it wasn’t until the late 1970s, 80s and 90s, that the scale and complexity of Moynagh Lough came to light. Now a new project picks up the threads, to weave together the wealth of information that the site can tell us about Ireland’s past. Dr Michael Potterton joins us for a fascinating discussion about what it all might mean.In this episode of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Neil had the opportunity to chat with Dr Michael Potterton of Maynooth University. Michael’s core field of research is the history and archaeology of medieval Ireland, with special reference to landscape and settlement. From 1996 to 1998 Michael was the Assistant Director on the excavations at Moynagh Lough.Moynagh Lough is one of those sites that looms large in the mind of many in Irish archaeology. The first indications that it was a place of significance came in the late-19th century, when a local farmer, inspired by William Wood-Martin’s seminal writings on Lake Dwellings of Ireland, recognised some similar features in a small peninsula known locally as ‘The Island’, that was set in a little lake where he liked to fish. He recovered items like a grinding stone, a flint knife, a piece of a jet bracelet, and an ogham-inscribed piece of antler. He sent them to Wood-Martin, who identified the site as a crannóg. He was given a grant from the Royal Irish Academy to investigate the monument. However the project was short-lived and Moynagh Lough was forgotten again for nearly a century.In the 1970s, it reemerged into the light, when a farmer who was seeking to level the small bumpy area at the edge of his field. As he spread the disturbed soil across the field, a large quantity of bone, quern stones and other clearly archaeological objects appeared. The local archaeologist, the late George Eogan, was called in and immediately identified it as a highly significant monument. As Professor Eogan was already excavating the great tomb at Knowth at the time, and as he believed the site to have been largely destroyed already, he had his assistant, a young archaeologist by the name of John Bradley, to lead what was expected to be a short rescue and recovery project. Much more of the crannóg had survived than was originally thought. Between 1980 and 1998, fourteen seasons of excavation confirmed that this was an exceptional multi-period site with rich artefactual assemblages from multiple levels and phases.Over the years, John produced a number of reports and published several articles about the findings at Moynagh Lough, but the main excavation report remains incomplete and unpublished. When John moved to Maynooth University from UCD in 1996 the Moynagh archive moved with him. After John Bradley’s sudden passing in 2014, a collaborative project led by Michael was formed to review the archive and to take Moynagh Lough through to publication. This was especially fitting, as Michael was a volunteer, then a supervisor and finally Assistant Director of the excavations in the 1990s.In this discussion Michael tells us of the incredible multi-phase archaeology of Moynagh Lough from the Late Mesolithic to the early medieval period, and how this collaborative project seeks to bring the equally multi-phase project to completion. It is an in-depth chat, that highlights the amazing legacy of John Bradley, George Eogan and Heather King, who all played such an important role at Moynagh Lough. It also reinforces the importance of reappraising past excavations and the wealth of information that are contained within archives, and how multi-disciplinary, collaborative efforts can bring new techniques to shed light on past projects. And more than anything else, the discussion asks the critical question:What does it all mean?Site tour at Moynagh Lough (Heather King 1982)View of site tour in progress, from north-east (photograph by Heather King, 1982)John Bradley (Thaddeus Breen, 2001)Photograph of John Bradley at his desk in Maynooth University (photograph by Thaddeus Breen, 2001)Recording the complex archaeology (John Bradley, 1982)Finbar McCormick and Jamie Crone making a scale drawing of archaeological features (photograph by John Bradley, 1982)Bone Combs from Moynagh Lough (Billy Sines, 2022)Selection of bone comb fragments from Moynagh Lough (photographs by Billy Sines, 2022)Bone Spindal Whorl from Moynagh Lough (Albert Glaholm, 1995)Decorated bone spindle whorl from Moynagh Lough (photograph by Albert Glaholm, 1995)AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST Title: Moynagh Lough Duration: 1 hour 15 mins.

Moynagh Lough – Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 34

Farming RathcroghanDiscover this innovative project in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 33Farming RathcroghanDiscover this innovative project in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 33In this episode, Neil travels to one of Ireland’s most significant archaeological landscapes, Rathcroghan, to discover an important and innovative project that is helping farmers to protect the archaeology on their land.In this episode of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Neil had the opportunity to visit the great royal site of Rathcroghan in County Roscommon to chat with Dr Daniel Curley who tells us all about his experience managing Rathcroghan Visitor Centre and how they engage people with the complex story of Rathcroghan’s archaeological and mythological landscapes. We also discuss the important Farming Rathcroghan EIP project with Dr Petra Kock Appelgren. The project seeks to manage the Rathcroghan farming landscape in a sustainable way with a focus on the delivery of good archaeological condition.

Farming Rathcroghan – Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 33

Archaeological StorytellingLet’s weave a story in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 32 with Paul DuffyArchaeological StorytellingLet’s weave a story in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 32 with Paul DuffyFadó fadó. Once upon a time…. all the best stories start like that. But how do you go about weaving together a compelling narrative with historical and archaeological evidence? In this episode Neil is joined by Paul Duffy to discuss archaeological storytelling.One of the most important and rewarding aspects of our work at Abarta Heritage is to try to tell the story of Ireland’s past in accessible and exciting ways, and in this episode of Amplify Archaeology Podcast, I had the opportunity to talk with a real master at this – Paul Duffy.Paul is an experienced archaeologist and has directed numerous landmark excavations in Dublin as well as leading projects in Australia, France and the United Kingdom. He has published and lectured widely on this work, and his books include From Carrickfergus to Carcassonne—the Epic Deeds of Hugh de Lacy during the Cathar Crusade (2018) and Ireland and the Crusades (2021). Paul has brought all of his insights and understandings of medieval Ireland to bear in his compelling new book Run with the Hare, Hunt with the Hound.The book begins on a remote Gaelic farmstead in medieval Ireland, when word reaches Alberic of conquering Norman knights arriving from England. Oppressed by the social order that enslaved his Norman father, he yearns for the reckoning he believes the invaders will bring—but his world is about to burn. Captured by the Norman knight Hugo de Lacy and installed at Dublin Castle as a translator, Alberic’s confused loyalties are tested at every turn. When de Lacy marches inland, Alberic is set on a collision course with his former masters amidst rumours of a great Gaelic army rising in the west. Can Alberic navigate safely through revenge, lust and betrayal to find his place amidst the birth of a kingdom in a land of war?Paul and I have a wide-ranging discussion that flows from the latest archaeological discoveries in Dublin to how to develop a character-driven story that balances evidence and narrative. I hope you enjoy the episode!* as usual, this episode was recorded over Zoom, so please forgive any little audio wobbles. AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST Title: Archaeological Storytelling Duration: 45 mins. Summary: In this fascinating discussion with Paul Duffy, we discuss how to combine archaeological evidence with storytelling to illustrate life in the past. Archaeological Storytelling – Key Discussion Points  Paul’s view of Dublin based on his experience excavating around the city – 1 min 18 secs How has our perspective of Dublin’s medieval past changed through the recent excavations? – 3 min 12 secs Pre-Viking Dublin and the early settlement – 9 min 00 secs Using archaeological and historical evidence to inform a fictional narrative – 12 min 24 secs Why did Paul choose to set his story in the late 12th century? – 19 min 00 secs How much can you trust primary sources like Giraldus Cambrensis or draw influence from their style? – 21 min 48 secs Paul’s choice to centre his story on a slave rather than a warlord or elite member of society – 26 min 24 secs The balance and dance between complete accuracy and storytelling – 33 min 00 secs Will Alberic’s story continue? – 37 min 33 secs The importance of archaeological storytelling – 38 mins 51 secs  Show notes and links to further information  You can find Paul’s website here. I can’t recommend his book Run with the Hare, Hunt with the Hound highly enough, it really helps you to picture what life was like in the tumultuous days of the Norman invasion. You can read a short review here. If you’re in the US you can preorder a copy direct from the publisher Cynren Press. If you’re in Ireland (or the UK or the rest of Europe) you can preorder from Book Depository. Paul also has another book out this month – as he is co-author of Ireland and the Crusades. Some of the images on this episode page feature the great Dave Swift of Claoimh. Check out Dave’s fantastic work here. At Abarta we’ve also tried our hand at writing fictional accounts based on archaeological evidence. Most relevant to this is our audiobook Meitheal, a series of interwoven tales from early medieval Ireland. You can hear that free here. Or our audiobook The Unsilent Stones where you can meet the residents of Athlone’s Abbey Graveyard. From 8th century kings to tavern keepers. You can find that here. Paul recently gave a great lecture as part of our Tuatha Talk webinar series. Our members can watch that back here.

Archaeological Storytelling – Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 32

A Bug’s AfterLife – Archaeological Insect AnalysisDiscover what insects can tell us about life in the past in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 31 with Dr Steve DavisA Bug’s AfterLife – Archaeological Insect AnalysisDiscover what insects can tell us about life in the past in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 31 with Dr Steve DavisThe archaeological study of insects, or archaeoentomology, can provide vital evidence about past environments, food, health and living conditions.Though our homes today has become somewhat sanitised relative to the past, we still share our lives with other species, especially insects. Archaeoentomology is the study of insect remains on sites of archaeological interest. The analysis of insects from archaeological contexts can be an important lens with which to view the past. The can reveal big picture questions about the local environment. They can tell us about trade and agriculture. And reveal insights into hygiene both in the house and of the individuals themselves. They can also tell us about diet and health, and in some cases, funeral practices.The study of insects is most powerful when combined with other forms of environmental analysis, and it can create a deeply intimate (perhaps too intimate) understanding of people in the past. In this episode of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Neil had a chat with Dr. Steve Davis of the School of Archaeology, University College Dublin. Steve tells us of what kind of evidence insect analysis can provide and the background to this expert sub-discipline. This is a fascinating discussion and I hope you enjoy the episode, but perhaps not one to listen to while you’re having your dinner!AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST Title: A Bug’s AfterLife – Archaeological Insect Analysis Duration: 53 mins. Summary: In this fascinating discussion with Dr Steve Davis, we discuss insect analysis and how it can reveal key evidence about life in the past A Bug’s AfterLife; Archaeological Insect Analysis – Key Discussion Points  How do you find archaeological insects, do they preserve well? – 1 min 10 secs What are the ideal sort of contexts to find insects in? – 2 min 39 secs What sort of information can insects reveal about the past? – 5 min 30 secs What can insects reveal about big events like pandemics? – 9 min 43 secs Can insects tell us more about things like farming, industrial processes or trade? – 12 min 15 secs Living with insects – 15 min 10 secs What can insects tell us about the differences between living in an urban or rural setting – 16 min 15 secs The Joy of Cess – 21 min 52 secs Body lice and fleas – 22 mins 42 secs What species of insect does Steve love to discover when he is examining a sample – 24 min 15 secs Insects in the house – 26 min 55 secs The origins of archaeological insect studies and the work of Dr. Eileen Reilly – 28 mins 41 secs The challenges posed to archaeoentomology – 33 min 42 secs How did Steve get into the study of insects – 36 mins 35 secs How is Ireland faring with archaeological insect studies, is there more that can be done? – 39 min 38 secs Is there a danger of ‘period bias’ when it comes to what we sample and analyse – 43 min 39 secs Should archaeologists start sampling more for insect analysis? – 47 min 10 secs  Show notes and links to further information  Thanks to Steve and Eva Kourela for kindly providing the images used on this page. Dr Eileen Reilly who sadly passed in 2018, has had an incredible legacy on environmental archaeology in Ireland and elsewhere. I was fortunate to work briefly with Eileen during the analysis of the Mill at Kilbegly back in 2007, and her insights were so important in developing our understanding. She was as wonderful a person as she was an archaeologist and researcher. Eileen’s work features prominently in the excellent recent publication Between the Meadows, that describes the excavation and analysis of a remarkable series of preserved trackways in the wetlands of Edercloon near Longford. Another important aspect of Eileen’s work was her research on Viking and Medieval Dublin. Encapsulated in this paper: The contribution of insect remains to an understanding of the environment of Viking-age and Medieval Dublin And this paper in Quaternary International: From Christchurch Place to Fishamble Street: Developments inarchaeoentomology in Dublin, Ireland, since 1981 (hosted on Academia.edu but there is no need to create an account, you can access the full article by scrolling down rather than trying to download). Part of Steve’s research was to examine what insects can reveal about prehistoric burnt mounds. You can read his paper here: The Environmental Context and Function of Burnt-Mounds: New Studies of Irish Fulachtaí Fiadh Deer Park Farms featured prominently in the discussion, and you can read about what the insect evidence reveals about that important site here: Environment, activity and living conditions at Deer Park Farms: evidence from plant and invertebrate remains. (Hosted on Academia.edu but there is no need to create an account, you can access the full article by scrolling down rather than trying to download). If you’d like to read the paper on that remarkably dedicated project by Prof. Peter Osborne you can do so here: An insect fauna from a modern cesspit and its comparison with probable cesspit assemblages from archaeological sites. And this was built on in this paper by Dr Katherine Grove: Discerning beetles, an entomo-archaeological study of coleopteran faunas in relation to place and time. Or Dr David Smith’s paper: Pondering Privies: Construction, Use, Reuse, and Other Speculations About Cesspits in the Archaeological Record. The importance of environmental archaeology was also discussed in the episode on Wetland Archaeology.

A Bugs AfterLife Archaeological Insect Analysis – Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 31

Digging Dún ÁilinneDig into the Story with Dr Susan Johnston, Prof. Pam Crabtree, Dr Zenobi Garrett &amp; the excavation teamDigging Dún ÁilinneDig into the Story with Dr Susan Johnston, Prof. Pam Crabtree, Dr Zenobi Garrett &amp; the excavation teamLooming large over the plains of Kildare is a large tree-lined hill. This is Dún Áilinne, believed to be one of Ireland’s ancient ‘royal sites’, and a place of significance for millennia. In this episode of Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Dr. Sharon Greene climbed the storied slopes to meet the team of archaeologists who are seeking to discover Dún Ailline’s secrets.Recent summers have seen teams of American archaeology students working around the summit of a large hill, close to Kilcullen in county Kildare. They are being trained by professional archaeologists from America and Ireland, in partnership with the Blackfriary Archaeological Field School, and the site they are working on is Dún Áilinne, one of the ancient royal sites of Ireland.Although Dún Áilinne may not be as well known as Emain Macha (Navan Fort), Rathcroghan, or the Hill of Tara, excavations over the last 50 years have revealed the foundations of an impressive series of large circular timber structures constructed during the Iron Age. These are set in the vicinity of the hill summit, an area enclosed by a massive bank and ditch. The shape of the structures, the discovery of evidence for feasting and the early medieval documentary records of the site all point to a place of ritual and gathering.In this podcast we will be talking to the site directors, Dr Susan Johnston of George Washington University and Professor Pam Crabtree of New York University (who first came to Dún Áilinne to excavate 50 years ago) as well as other involved in the field school to find out more about the archaeology of the site and the experience of uncovering this iconic site.Dr Sharon Greene takes over the mic for this episode, and climbs the storied hill to discuss the project and this enigmatic monument with the excavation team. I hope you enjoy the episode!AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST Title: Digging Dún Áilinne Duration: 60 mins. Summary: Climb the storied hill of Dún Áilinne to meet the excavation team who are trying to discover the site’s story. We are very grateful to the landowners, the Thompson family, for allowing us to visit the excavations to record the podcast and to all the members of the excavation crew for making us so welcome.

<h1>Digging Dún Áilinne</h1>Dig into the Story with Dr Susan Johnston, Prof. Pam Crabtree, Dr Zenobi Garrett &amp; the excavation team<h1>Digging Dún Áilinne</h1>Dig into the Story with Dr Susan Johnston, Prof. Pam Crabtree, Dr Zenobi Garrett &amp; the excavation team<h2>Looming large over the plains of Kildare is a large tree-lined hill. This is Dún Áilinne, believed to be one of Ireland’s ancient ‘royal sites’, and a place of significance for millennia. In this episode of Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Dr. Sharon Greene climbed the storied slopes to meet the team of archaeologists who are seeking to discover Dún Ailline’s secrets.</h2>Recent summers have seen teams of American archaeology students working around the summit of a large hill, close to Kilcullen in county Kildare. They are being trained by professional archaeologists from America and Ireland, in partnership with the <a href="http://bafs.ie/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Blackfriary Archaeological Field School</a>, and the site they are working on is Dún Áilinne, one of the ancient royal sites of Ireland.Although Dún Áilinne may not be as well known as Emain Macha (Navan Fort), Rathcroghan, or the Hill of Tara, excavations over the last 50 years have revealed the foundations of an impressive series of large circular timber structures constructed during the Iron Age. These are set in the vicinity of the hill summit, an area enclosed by a massive bank and ditch. The shape of the structures, the discovery of evidence for feasting and the early medieval documentary records of the site all point to a place of ritual and gathering.In this podcast we will be talking to the site directors, Dr Susan Johnston of <a href="https://www.gwu.edu/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">George Washington University</a> and Professor Pam Crabtree of <a href="https://www.nyu.edu/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">New York University</a> (who first came to Dún Áilinne to excavate 50 years ago) as well as other involved in the field school to find out more about the archaeology of the site and the experience of uncovering this iconic site.Dr Sharon Greene takes over the mic for this episode, and climbs the storied hill to discuss the project and this enigmatic monument with the excavation team.

Viking Age Ireland – Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 29

I did an MA in archaeology at Queen&#39;s University Belfast, but now I live in the US and teach high school and college Anthropology.  It&#39;s been a number of years since University, so I love getting the updates of more recent discoveries and prevailing thoughts in the field of Irish archaeology.  (Looking forward to the chance of hearing an old professor or two of mine from QUB as a guest someday!)  The guests are among the topmost knowledgeable people in the field who are conducting the best research out there, so if you&#39;re interested in Irish archaeology, these are the people to hear from.  Thanks!

Great way to stay abreast in the field

Started listening after the crossover episode with the Irish History Podcast. This is a fascinating look at Irish archeology via interviews with archeologists currently working in the field. The host asks excellent questions that shows his depth of knowledge while also making sure that folks whose knowledge of archeology comes mainly from Indiana Jones movies (like me) can understand what is going on. 

My only complaint is that the garden episode had the interviews at a very low volume that was very difficult to hear. Otherwise, thank you for putting this out, I’m enjoying it and learning a lot!

Fascinating look at the Irish past

The History of the Irish Diet in PlantsJoin us at Bloom to see a very special showgarden that demonstrates what plant remains can reveal about the pastThe History of the Irish Diet in PlantsJoin us at Bloom to see a very special showgarden that demonstrates what plant remains can reveal about the pastArchaeology in Bloom – join us as we visit a very special showgarden at Bloom in 2019, to meet with the project team who have created a sensory journey into Ireland’s history through plants.We’re always interested in food [perhaps a little too interested at times] and we were delighted to hear of this really innovative way of showcasing the changing nature of Irish diets. This show garden at Bloom demonstrates a selection of key food plants from Ireland’s past. All the plants are based on archaeological evidence and seeing, smelling and touching the plants helps you to gain a tangible glimpse into the changing nature of diet from the earliest settlers in Ireland to the present day. The gardens are accompanied by wonderful reconstruction images by artists that visually represent the evidence and allow us to picture what life was like in the past.The Bloom show garden is subdivided to better show the different periods. The first part demonstrates some of the key food plants that would have been utilised during the Mesolithic Period. Some of the plants on display in this section include the yellow water-lily, seeds from this plant have been discovered on Mesolithic sites in Ireland. This section is accompanied by a wonderful reconstruction of the Clowanstown Fish Traps by artist J.G. O’Donoghue. The second section symbolises the landscape of the first farmers during the Neolithic Period. This period provided the first evidence for tillage of crops, such as Emmer wheat which you can see in the garden. This section is accompanied by an illustration of the Early Neolithic settlement at Town Parks in County Meath by Dan Tietzsch-Tyler. The time of Ireland’s Medieval Traders is represented in the next section. Trade transformed the diet of many of Ireland’s inhabitants around 800 years ago, though a number of plants were still being foraged, including plants that we consider weeds today – such as fat-hen. Hawkers sold the spinach-like leaves of fat-hen up until the eighteenth century. This section is accompanied by Michael Duffy‘s reconstruction illustration of a medieval farmstead at Mondaniel County Cork, that was uncovered during work on the M8 Motorway. Moving forward through time, the Industrial society of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century is represented by a garden that includes plants such as potatoes that became such an important food for the Irish people. The collapse of the potato crops in the middle of the nineteenth century led to the Great Famine, resulting in tragedy, starvation, disease and emigration. This section is accompanied by an illustration of nineteenth century houses and farm buildings by Dan Tietzsch-Tyler. The final section represents the modern era, with plants such as chilli peppers reflecting the global diet of today. This section is accompanied by an illustration that depicts a scene in a modern supermarket by John McCord.

Passage TombsDig into the Story of Ireland’s Passage Tombs in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 4 with Dr. Jessica SmythPassage TombsDig into the Story of Ireland’s Passage Tombs in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 4 with Dr. Jessica SmythPassage Tombs like Newgrange, Knowth, Dowth, Loughcrew and the cemetery of Carrowkeel are some of Ireland’s most iconic monuments, but how much do we know about the societies that constructed these magnificent megalithic marvels? Join us for Episode 4 of Amplify Archaeology Podcast for this fascinating discussion with Dr. Jessica Smyth.Passage tombs are undoubtedly one of Ireland’s most iconic archaeological monument types.  Every year thousands of people visit the great tombs of the Boyne Valley – Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, or climb the hills of Loughcrew or Carrowkeel to discover these ancient places.  The tombs were constructed over 5,000 years ago, during the Neolithic Period, generally between 3,600–2,900 BC.  Passage tombs typically consist of large mounds of stone or earth that cover a burial chamber that was accessed by a stone-lined passageway, and some tombs contain complex megalithic art.  There are at least 230 known passage tombs across Ireland, and these monuments can also be found along the Atlantic seaboard of Western Europe, from the Iberian Peninsula of Spain and Portugal, Brittany in France, the Westernmost parts of Britain and Sweden.But how and why did communities of early farmers come together to build these colossal monuments?  In this podcast, Neil had the opportunity to discuss passage tombs with Dr Jessica Smyth of UCD School of Archaeology.  We discussed Jessica’s exciting project Passage Tomb People that uses a multidisciplinary approach to better understand some of the social and economic aspects of passage tombs and to examine questions about the societies that built them.AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTAMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTTitle: Ireland’s Passage TombsDuration: 48 mins.Summary: Dig into the story of Ireland’s Passage Tombs with Dr. Jessica Smyth in Episode 4 of the Amplify Archaeology PodcastEpisode 4 Passage Tombs – Show Notes You can find out more about Jessica’s fascinating project on the Passage Tomb People Website. Jessica also appeared in Episode 2 of our 5 part miniseries on Newgrange and the Winter Solstice, you can find that here. For an excellent and insightful overview into Ireland’s passage tombs we highly recommend First Light; the Origins of Newgrange by Dr. Robert Hensey. Published by Oxbow Books. For truly stunning images of Ireland’s passage tombs and megalithic art it is well worth spending some time on Shadows and Stone, Ken Williams is an absolute artist when it comes to capturing the intricacies of these enigmatic works of art. Ken also has a very insightful article that addresses the recent controversy regarding the roof-box at Newgrange. In an absolute gift to us all, the six volumes on the excavation of the great passage tomb of Knowth have been made available free on the Digital Repository of Ireland. It’s a truly incredible resource! A number of the best examples of passage tombs are accessible to visit.  Many under the auspices of the OPW.  Including Newgrange and Knowth that are accessible through the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre, and Loughcrew.  Those three in particular feature on our free audioguide to the Boyne Valley and you can hear their story there. We carried out a small targeted excavation of a passage tomb behind the Hellfire Club in the Dublin Mountains.  You can read all about the excavation and what we discovered in our free ebook. Amplify Archaeology PodcastDuring this podcast series we will meet some of Ireland’s archaeologists to discuss the key periods, places and people that tell the story of Ireland, and we’ll gain new insights into the practice and techniques of modern Irish archaeology.  If you enjoyed this podcast I’d be really grateful if you could leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, or share it and tell your friends.The podcast is an Abarta Heritage production.  It was recorded on location by Neil Jackman (the interviewer), with Dr Jessica Smyth.  We are so grateful to Jessica for her generosity with her time and insights.Amplify Archaeology Podcast is also available onDig into more stories with Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 19 with Prof. Gabriel Cooney Newgrange Podcast Miniseries; Part 5 Amplify Archaeology Episode 18 with Dr. Robert Hensey Newgrange Podcast Miniseries; Part 4 Amplify Archaeology Episode 15 with Prof. Muiris O’Sullivan Newgrange Podcast Miniseries; Part 1 Amplify Archaeology Please help to Amplify Archaeology by sharing this podcast The post Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 4 – Passage Tombs appeared first on Abarta Heritage Home.

How do we define it? Was it the Normans who brought castle-building to Ireland in the 12th century, or did castles exist in Ireland before they arrived? In this episode of Amplify Archaeology Podcast we’re joined by Professor Tadhg O’Keeffe to discuss some of these questions and more!Castles are one of the most evocative icons of our medieval past.  Ireland has a vast array of fortifications, ranging from earthwork structures to large stone fortresses.  But what was the origin of castles in Ireland?  Did they come in with the Anglo Normans after the invasions of the late-twelfth century, or could it be said that castles existed in Ireland before the Normans?  I was delighted to have the opportunity to discuss some of these questions with Professor Tadhg O’Keeffe of UCD School of Archaeology.  We also look at how Irish castles compare with those of England, Wales and the rest of Europe, and the significance of sites like Roscommon Castle.AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTAMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTTitle: Irish CastlesDuration: 37 mins.Summary: Discover the origin of Irish Castles in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 3 with Prof. Tadhg O’Keeffe Episode 3 Irish Castles – Show Notes If you’d like to dig further into some of these discussion points, Tadhg has a new publication called Ireland Encastellated, AD 950–1550 Insular castle-building in its European context, available from Four Courts Press. There are some terrific publications that give great insights into castles.  Tadhg himself is a prolific writer on the medieval period.  As well as his new publication, his Medieval Irish Buildings 1100–1600 is an essential guide to the architecture of the period.  Another of his publications Medieval Ireland An Archaeology also provides an excellent overview. If you are interested in the architecture of castles, I recommend checking out Malcom Hislop’s Castle Builders: Approaches to Castle Design and Construction in the Middle Ages. There isn’t much specifically about Ireland in there but it is a really interesting guide to how castles were designed and constructed in the medieval period. Lady Rohesia’s castle at Castleroche (pictured above) is one of the most spectacular sites in the country.  It is situated near Dundalk in County Louth, and it is on private land so please do ask permission before entering the site. Trim Castle and the Hill of Tara both feature in our free audio guide to the Boyne Valley. You can visit Trim Castle (and enjoy a great guided tour!), see here for opening hours and entry fees. Maynooth Castle can also be visited, see here for opening hours and entry fees. The Forradh and the Hill of Tara is also well worth a trip, it’s such a fascinating archaeological landscape!  See here for opening hours. Roscommon Castle is located in Roscommon Town and it can be accessed for free.  Why not take a guided tour with Roscommon Heritage Tours? A number of the castles mentioned, including Castleroche, the Forradh on the Hill of Tara, Maynooth Castle, Trim Castle and more feature in my guidebook to Ireland’s Ancient East, published by Collins Press in 2016.  It’s available from all good bookshops, and it is available cheapest from Kennys.ie or the Book Depository. Amplify Archaeology PodcastDuring this podcast series we will meet some of Ireland’s archaeologists to discuss the key periods, places and people that tell the story of Ireland, and we’ll gain new insights into the practice and techniques of modern Irish archaeology.  This is the third instalment of Amplify Archaeology, our first episode featured the exciting archaeological dig at Glendalough, and the second was a discussion about Mesolithic Ireland.I’d love some feedback, so please do leave a comment below – and if you have any questions about Irish archaeology please do let me know, we can try to answer them in forthcoming episodes.  Finally if you enjoyed this podcast I’d be really grateful if you could share it and tell your friends.The podcast is an Abarta Heritage production.  It was recorded on location by Neil Jackman (the interviewer), with Professor Tadhg O’Keeffe.  We are very grateful to Tadhg for his generosity with his time and insights.Amplify Archaeology Podcast is also available onDig into more stories with Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 12 with Dr. Damian Shiels Conflict Archaeology Amplify Archaeology Episode 10 with Cóilín Ó Drisceoil Excavations at Kilkenny Castle Amplify Archaeology Episode 8 with Dr. Patrick Gleeson Excavations at the Rock of Cashel Amplify Archaeology Please help to Amplify Archaeology by sharing this podcast The post Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 3 – Castles appeared first on Abarta Heritage Home.

Battlefield &amp; Conflict ArchaeologyHear about Ireland’s conflict archaeology in Episode 12 of Amplify Archaeology Podcast with Dr. Damian ShielsBattlefield &amp; Conflict ArchaeologyHear about Ireland’s conflict archaeology in Episode 12 of Amplify Archaeology Podcast with Dr. Damian ShielsIn this episode of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Neil was joined by Dr. Damian Shiels to discuss the importance and vulnerability of Ireland’s battlefield and conflict archaeology sites.The story of Ireland is sadly often punctuated with violence. From medieval warfare to the twentieth century struggle for Independence, battles have shaped the country that we know today. But despite their significance, many of Ireland’s battlefields remain little understood and protected, and some face existential threats.Battles such as Clontarf (1014), Kinsale (1601), the Boyne (1690), Aughrim (1691), Vinegar Hill (1798) and the Easter Rising (1916), have been crucial turning points in Irish history. But how much do we know about the physical locations where these conflicts took place? How can we understand the landscapes of conflict? And why are these places, so critical to the shaping of the nation, at real risk of being lost or destroyed? In this episode of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast we hear from Dr. Damian Shiels who discusses some of these important issues. Damian is an archaeologist and historian with a particular interest in conflict archaeology and the story of the Irish diaspora. Damian is also the author of the fantastic Irish in the American Civil War Website and the Forgotten Irish Podcast.AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTAMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTTitle: Battlefield &amp; Conflict ArchaeologyDuration: 47 mins.Summary: In this episode of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Neil was joined by Dr. Damian Shiels to discuss the importance and vulnerability of Ireland’s battlefield and conflict archaeology sites. Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 12 Conflict Archaeology – Show Notes Damian’s fantastic resource on the story of the Irish in the American Civil War can be explored here and do check out his excellent podcast The Forgotten Irish. For information on the Law on Metal Detecting in Ireland please see here. Damian’s Landscapes of Revolution website is well worth exploring. You can find it here. The Longest Day at Vinegar Hill Project was carried out to understand the archaeology of one of the most important battles of the 1798 Rebellion. The project was a partnership between Damian Shiels (then of Rubicon Heritage), Dr. James Bonsall of Sligo IT, Earthsound Geophysics and Cotswold Archaeology with the support of Wexford County Council. You can find Damian’s lecture on the project on YouTube. The Archaeology of 1916 Project was undertaken between Dublin City Council, UCD School of Archaeology and Archaeology and Built Heritage and examined the landscape of the 1916 Rising throughout the contemporary city. You can find more information on the project on their website here. There’s a really interesting study on the conflict archaeology of the Irish Civil War in Wexford by Catherine McLoughlin of Stafford McLoughlin Archaeology and Colm Moriarty of IrishArchaeology.ie and supported by Wexford County Council.

Finding the Lost Wing of Kilkenny CastleWe join Cóilín Ó Drisceoil at Kilkenny Castle for a trench-side chat in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 10Finding the Lost Wing of Kilkenny CastleWe join Cóilín Ó Drisceoil at Kilkenny Castle for a trench-side chat in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 10Kilkenny Castle is one of our most visited monuments, and an iconic landmark in the city. But did you know that the shape of the castle was forever altered in the 19th century, when a whole wing was demolished? A new excavation by Cóilín Ó Drisceoil of Kilkenny Archaeology seeks to find and expose the missing wing of the castle. So we just had to go along to join Cóilín and his team for a trench-side chat.Kilkenny Castle is surely one of the most familiar heritage sites in Ireland. The castle is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists every year, who enjoy the beautiful parklands and the grandeur of this former home of the Butler family. However, the castle that we know so well today is largely the result of centuries of development and renovation as each generation sought to tailor Kilkenny Castle to suit their needs.The story of Kilkenny Castle is thought to begin with a motte and bailey constructed by Strongbow (Richard de Clare, Lord of Pembroke, one of the leaders of the Normans when they first arrived in Ireland). A motte and bailey was a typical fortification in the early phases of the Norman arrival in Ireland, typically consisting of an earthen mound topped with a wooden tower (if you’re interested in castle development in Ireland you might enjoy our episode on Irish Castles with Professor Tadhg O’Keeffe).  Later, William Marshal began the construction of a mighty four sided fortress, and it is this castle that forms the core of the building that we know today – with one key exception – today Kilkenny Castle only has three sides, so what happened to the fourth wing?An exciting excavation led by Cóilín Ó Drisceoil, and his team from Kilkenny Archaeology, has uncovered the fourth wing of the castle allowing us new glimpses into the story of this iconic site. As well as a better understanding of the construction of the castle, Cóilín and his team have discovered wonderful range of artefacts, including medieval pottery and a medieval harp tuning peg. The story of conflict at the castle has also been revealed with a number of musket balls associated with Cromwell’s siege of the castle in 1650.In this edition of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast Neil visited the excavations to have a trench-side chat with Cóilín, who told us all about the remarkable history of Kilkenny Castle and the new discoveries made during the dig.AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTAMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTTitle: The Lost Wing of Kilkenny CastleDuration: 29 mins.Summary: In this episode of the Amplify Archaeology podcast we join Cóilín Ó Drisceoil for a trench-side chat at his exciting excavation at Kilkenny Castle Episode 10 – The Lost Wing of Kilkenny Castle – Show Notes For more information and great images from the excavation please visit the Kilkenny Archaeology Facebook Page.

Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 10 – The Lost Wing of Kilkenny Castle

Living HistoryAmplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 9 with Déise MedievalLiving HistoryAmplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 9 with Déise MedievalDuring the Woodstown Viking Festival Day in Heritage Week, 2019, Neil had the opportunity to chat with a number of Living History re-enactors. In this podcast we learn about their motivations, and how they communicate the story of the past through lived experience.Historical re-enactments and living history are a popular way for engaging the public with the story of past cultures. Whether it is demonstrations of battles and warfare, food, costume or crafts, the process of living history can allow people to gain a real and tangible sense of what life was like in the past. Ireland is fortunate to have a number of living history societies and organisations. One of the largest, Déise Medieval, were integral to the Viking Heritage Day Heritage Week event at Woodstown, on the outskirts of Waterford City. We took the opportunity to chat with some of the re-enactors to discover how they got involved in living history and how it has shaped their view of the past.In this edition of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast Neil was joined by Denise Colbert (Déise Medieval), Jessica de Burca (Montague Heritage Services), Dolores Kearney (UCD School of Archaeology), Kate Gwilliam (Vikings UK), Paul Kavanagh (Leix Vikings), Ayanna Raiha, Maria Kraing, Clare Horgan (Déise Medieval).

Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 9 – Living in the Past

Excavations at the Rock of CashelWe join Dr. Patrick Gleeson at the Rock of Cashel for a trench-side chat in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 8Excavations at the Rock of CashelWe join Dr. Patrick Gleeson at the Rock of Cashel for a trench-side chat in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 8Join us for a trench-side chat with Dr. Patrick Gleeson and his team at their exciting excavations at the Rock of Cashel to uncover the story of the early origins of this iconic site.The Rock of Cashel is undoubtedly one of the most iconic heritage sites in Ireland. When you visit the site today, you can encounter Cormac’s Chapel, the Round Tower, the Cathedral and the High Cross that allow you to experience the might and splendour of medieval Irish Christianity. But the Rock of Cashel did not begin as an ecclesiastical site, it was once a royal site, the seat of the Eóganachta, who were Kings of Munster. They dominated the region from around the 6th or 7th century AD, but from around the 10th century, the Eóganachta were eclipsed by the Dál Cais, a dynasty whose eventual leader, the famous Brian Boru, was the first king to gain effective control of all of Ireland. It was a great-grandson of Brian Boru,  Muirchertach Ua Briain, who donated the Rock of Cashel to the Church in 1101 AD. This wasn’t only an act of religious piety on the part of Muirchertach, but it was a shrewd political move – in one stroke he had denied the Eóganachta their ancestral seat of power.An exciting project seeks to discover the regal roots of the Rock of Cashel, along with a number of other sites in Ireland and Britain. Comparative Kingship: the early medieval Kingdoms of Northern Britain and Ireland, is a collaborative project between the University of Aberdeen, Queens University Belfast and the University of Glasgow. The project aims to undertake a detailed study of three major polities: Pictland, Scotland; Dál Riata, Northern Ireland; and Munster, Ireland. The project will synthesize and compare the results of these case studies to help us better understand Northern Europe during the first millennium AD, as well as contribute to broader debates regarding this transformative period of history.Dr Patrick Gleeson of Queens University Belfast and his team have been carrying out geophysical surveys at Cashel that have revealed an extensive series of unrecorded archaeological features indicative of a vast complex in the immediate vicinity of the Rock of Cashel. The character of these new features suggests the location developed from a major fortified site during the 5th and 6th century AD, and was later transformed into a major ceremonial seat of kingship and of the early Church.In this edition of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast Neil visited the Rock of Cashel where he chatted with Patrick to learn more about this important project, and how the results of the excavation help us to better understand this iconic site. This podcast was recorded quite literally in the field, so there will be a bit of background noise – a little wind and a lot of heckling sheep!AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTAMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTTitle: Excavations at the Rock of CashelDuration: 30 mins.Summary: Join us for a trench-side chat with Dr. Patrick Gleeson and his team at their exciting excavations at the Rock of Cashel to uncover the story of the early origins of this iconic site. Episode 8 Cashel of the Kings – Show Notes The excavation is part of the collaborative project: Comparative Kingship: the early medieval Kingdoms of Northern Britain and Ireland. If you’d like to visit the Rock of Cashel (and it is well worth the trip!) you can find information on opening times and entry fees here. You can find more information on the Northern Picts Project here. You can see a lovely video on the site at Rhynie, Aberdeenshire here. There’s a short piece in the Irish Times on the Discovery Programme’s Late Iron Age Roman Ireland project from 2012, unfortunately I can’t seem to find a copy of the excellent publication for sale online. It appears it may be out of print, though I am reliably informed that there may be some copies available in the ever-dependable Charlie Byrne’s Bookshop in Galway City. Amplify Archaeology PodcastDuring this podcast series we will meet some of Ireland’s archaeologists to discuss the key periods, places and people that tell the story of Ireland, and we’ll gain new insights into the practice and techniques of modern Irish archaeology.  This is the eighth instalment of Amplify Archaeology, previous episodes have featured discussions on mortuary practice at Carrowkeel, Beaker People, History of Food, Passage Tombs, Castles, Mesolithic Ireland and Glendalough.I’d love some feedback, so please do leave a comment below – and if you have any questions about Irish archaeology please do let me know, we can try to answer them in forthcoming episodes.  Finally if you enjoyed this podcast I’d be really grateful if you could leave us a review on iTunes, or please share it and tell your friends.The podcast is an Abarta Heritage production.

Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 8 – Cashel of the Kings

Neolithic Mortuary Practice at CarrowkeelDig into the Story of the Way of Death at Carrowkeel in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 7Neolithic Mortuary Practice at CarrowkeelDig into the Story of the Way of Death at Carrowkeel in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 7A number of the tombs in the incredible passage tomb complex of Carrowkeel in County Sligo were excavated in 1911. Much of the evidence from those early digs lay quietly in boxes for decades, until a recent multidisciplinary project re-examined the evidence. What they found has provided remarkable insights into life and death in Neolithic Ireland.The first detailed investigation of the human remains from the Carrowkeel passage tomb complex since their excavation in 1911 has revealed several new and important insights about life, death, and mortuary practice in Neolithic Ireland. This project was carried out by Doctors Thomas Kador, Lara Cassidy, Jonny Geber, Robert Hensey, Pádraig Meehan and Sam Moore in a multidisciplinary project that combined archaeology, osteoarchaeological examination of human remains and DNA analysis to gain new insights into Neolithic Ireland. In this edition of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast Neil was joined by Lara Cassidy, Pádraig Meehan, Robert Hensey, and Thomas Kador for a group discussion on the exciting results of the project, and how it sheds light onto life and death in Neolithic Ireland.Some of the discussion includes the results of the osteological analysis of the human remains. This analysis provides the first conclusive proof for the occurrence of dismemberment of the dead at Irish passage tombs, practised contemporarily with cremation as one of a suite of funerary treatments. The research also highlights changes in burial tradition at the complex over the course of the Neolithic, and provides a chronology for these changes that allows them to be linked to wider trends in monument construction. Multi-isotope analysis hints at the presence of non-local individuals among the interred and the possible existence of different food sourcing areas at the onset of the later Neolithic period. Intriguingly, the preliminary results from ancient DNA sequencing of six individuals from Carrowkeel provides evidence for the genetic ancestry of Irish Neolithic populations, demonstrating their Anatolian origins and links along the Atlantic façade.(please note, parts of the discussion about the mortuary practice is quite graphic in nature and may not be suitable for all audiences). ‘I lit three candles and stood awhile, to let my eyes accustom themselves to the dim light. There was everything just as the last Bronze Age man [sic]  had left it, three to four thousand years before. A light brownish dust covered all…’ Robert Lloyd Praeger, 'The Way That I Went' (1937)AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCAST Title: The Archaeological Landscapes of St Patrick Duration: 1 hour 20 mins. Summary: The reappraisal of human remains and artefacts that were first excavated from Carrowkeel in 1911 has revealed some astonishing new insights into the treatment of the dead in Neolithic Ireland. In this episode of Amplify Archaeology, Neil was joined by the multi-disciplinary project team, to talk about ancient DNA, belief, and the best way to carry a body up a mountain. Episode 7 The Way of Death at Carrowkeel – Show Notes  This podcast is based on the paper ‘Rites of Passage: Mortuary Practice, Population Dynamics, and Chronology at the Carrowkeel Passage Tomb Complex, Co. Sligo, Ireland’ first published in the Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society and also available from UCL Discovery. A detailed discussion of the postmortem treatment of the dead at Carrowkeel can be found in Bioarchaeology International. Also available through UCL Discovery. Further information can be found in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology. Also available through UCL Discovery. It is also well worth digging into A century of archaeology—historical excavation and modern research at the Carrowkeel passage tombs, County Sligo, an article in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy by Robert Hensey, Pádraig Meehan, Marion Dowd and Sam Moore. For an excellent and insightful overview into Ireland’s passage tombs we highly recommend First Light; the Origins of Newgrange by Robert Hensey. Published by Oxbow Books. The story of the discovery and ‘decoding’ of the bones in the Duckworth Institute is detailed in an article for the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy (€). If you’re around Sligo on the 30th July 2019 you can hear Robert and Pádraig at the Blue Raincoat Theatre. Tickets are available here. You can also hear more about Ireland’s passage tombs in Episode 4 of Amplify Archaeology, when Neil met Dr. Jessica Smyth to learn about Passage Tomb People. You can also find our miniseries on the Winter Solstice at Newgrange here, and Episode 4 featured Robert for a wide ranging discussion about Neolithic belief and meaning, art, time and communication.  Amplify Archaeology Podcast During this podcast series we will meet some of Ireland’s archaeologists to discuss the key periods, places and people that tell the story of Ireland, and we’ll gain new insights into the practice and techniques of modern Irish archaeology.  This is the seventh instalment of Amplify Archaeology, previous episodes have featured discussions on the Beaker People, History of Food, Passage Tombs, Castles, Mesolithic Ireland and Glendalough. I’d love some feedback, so please do leave a comment below – and if you have any questions about Irish archaeology please do let me know, we can try to answer them in forthcoming episodes.  Finally if you enjoyed this podcast I’d be really grateful if you could leave us a review on iTunes, or please share it and tell your friends. The podcast is an Abarta Heritage production.  It was recorded with sound engineer Declan Lonergan in Bluebird Studios, County Kildare, with Neil Jackman (the interviewer), with Lara Cassidy, Pádraig Meehan, Robert Hensey, and Thomas Kador. We are really grateful to them all for their generosity and insights.

Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 7 – Carrowkeel

Beaker People and the Chalcolithic PeriodDr. Neil Carlin introduces us to the Beaker People in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 6Beaker People and the Chalcolithic PeriodDr. Neil Carlin introduces us to the Beaker People in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 6Who were the Beaker People? And just how far does technology change culture? Join us for a fascinating discussion on the Beaker Period and Chalcolithic Ireland with Dr. Neil Carlin.The first metal objects began to be made in Ireland from around the middle of the third millennium BC, from approximately 2500 BC onwards. This coincides with a particular sort of material culture, that includes evidence of archery and a particular sort of pottery vessel known as Beakers, as well as the first copper and gold objects. These artefacts are found elsewhere in Europe, and the prevalence and distinctive nature of the pottery has led to it being known as the Beaker Period or the Beaker Phenomenon. But are these objects evidence of people from outside moving into Ireland?  If so, who were the Beaker People? And just how far does technology change culture?In this episode of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast Neil had the opportunity to discuss this with Dr. Neil Carlin of UCD School of Archaeology, who has recently produced a superb publication on the Beaker Phenomenon for Sidestone Press. The book uses an innovative approach that reassesses some of the assumptions we have about this era, by interlinking the study of the famous Beaker pottery and other artefacts with the context of their discovery to better understand social practices within settlements, funerary monuments, ceremonial settings and natural places. It also places the Irish evidence of the Beaker period in its international context. The publication: ‘The Beaker Phenomenon? Understanding the Character and Context of Social Practices in Ireland 2500–2000 BC’ is available from Sidestone Press, and thanks to the generosity of Neil and Sidestone Press it can be read online for free from this link.AMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTAMPLIFY ARCHAEOLOGY PODCASTTitle: Meet the Beaker PeopleDuration: 40 mins.Summary: Dr. Neil Carlin introduces us to the Beaker People and Chalcolithic Ireland in Episode 6 of the Amplify Archaeology Podcast. Episode 6 Beaker People and Chalcolithic Ireland – Show Notes I can’t recommend Neil’s book The Beaker Phenomenon? highly enough, it really is worth checking out – and you can read it online for free! As Neil says at the end of the podcast, one of the best places to get a glimpse into the material culture of this period is in our wonderful (and free) National Museum of Ireland on Kildare Street. There you can find examples of the pottery, the wonderful archer’s wristguards and of course the beautiful, blingy, gold! Speaking of the National Museum and gold, no-one understands it better than Mary Cahill, former Keeper of Irish Antiquities National Museum of Ireland. Mary has numerous articles about Ireland’s gold, including this one about sun symbolism on gold discs and lunalae from Archaeology Ireland that you can read on Academia.edu. For more insight on those beautiful archer’s wrist bracers see Bracers or Bracelets? About the functionality and meaning of Bell Beaker Wrist-guards by Maikel Kuijpers and Harry Fokkens. Amplify Archaeology PodcastDuring this podcast series we will meet some of Ireland’s archaeologists to discuss the key periods, places and people that tell the story of Ireland, and we’ll gain new insights into the practice and techniques of modern Irish archaeology.  This is the sixth instalment of Amplify Archaeology, previous episodes have featured discussions on the History of Food, Passage Tombs, Castles, Mesolithic Ireland and Glendalough.I’d love some feedback, so please do leave a comment below – and if you have any questions about Irish archaeology please do let me know, we can try to answer them in forthcoming episodes.  Finally if you enjoyed this podcast I’d be really grateful if you could leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, or please share it and tell your friends.The podcast is an Abarta Heritage production.  It was recorded on location by Neil Jackman (the interviewer), with Dr Neil Carlin.  We are so grateful to Neil for his generosity with his time and insights.Amplify Archaeology Podcast is also available onDig into more stories with Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 15 with Prof. Muiris O’Sullivan Newgrange Podcast Miniseries; Part 1 Amplify Archaeology Episode 7; Lara Cassidy, Robert Hensey et al Neolithic Mortuary Practice at Carrowkeel Amplify Archaeology Episode 4 with Dr. Jessica Smyth Passage Tombs Amplify Archaeology Please help to Amplify Archaeology by sharing this podcast The post Amplify Archaeology Podcast – Episode 6 – Beaker People appeared first on Abarta Heritage Home.
