3D Laser Scanning for the digital reconstruction and analysis of a 16th Century clinker built sailing vessel (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Pat T Tanner.

Using the Drogheda boat scaled physical model as a starting point, the following paper discusses a methodology that has been created to develop and analyse the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic characteristics of a reconstructed hull form. The physical boat model was 3D laser scanned and virtually modelled using commercially available CAD modelling software. Using boatbuilding experience, the recorded model is then "repaired", rebuilding the entire vessel, including recreating any missing...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Colin Rynne.

This an interdisciplinary (history/archaeology) study of the colonial landscapes created by Richard Boyle (1566-1643), the 1st Earl of Cork, in 17th -century Munster, Ireland. Viewed by his contemporaries and by subsequent scholars as an exemplary English planter who, above all his contemporaries, best realised the aims of the Munster Plantation by forging a model English Protestant ‘commonwealth’ on his estates, this study will examine - and question - the extent of his achievement. Utilising...

Right up until his death in 1643, Richard Boyle, 1st earl of Cork, could rely upon an ethnically diverse native tenantry and militia to consolidate and defend his interests.

The East India Company on the Bandon River 1608 to 1620 (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joe P Nunan.

The benefits that attracted the East India Company and its associates to the Bandon River area were the availability of land, cheap rents, and cheaper timber. Land and timber were valuable commodities. It was principally the growing English maritime and iron industries that took advantage of this resource. The Bandon River was one of the regions where the supply of timber was adequate to justify the introduction of the blast furnace and related works. Settlement and industry provided in varying...

Fields and farms in Ireland, 1650-1850: landscape archaeologies of improvement (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard Clutterbuck.

My PhD research, funded by the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences, investigates of how Irish rural landscapes developed from 1650 to 1850, looking in particular at four case studies, in counties Clare, Tipperary, Meath and Derry. I explore how later historic rural landscapes reflect the massive social changes of the 17th to 18th centuries, and how archaeologists can contribute to understanding these changes. This paper will examine how rural landscapes inform our...

Foamy, Fermented and Fractionated: Does Beer Consumption Create Confusion for Oxygen Isotope Analysis of Humans? (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Janet Montgomery. Charlie Taverner. Darren Gröcke. Alice Rose. Flavin Susan M..

This is an abstract from the session entitled "FoodCult: Food, Culture and Identity in Ireland, c.1550-1650", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Bioarchaeologists exploit the geographic and climatic variation of oxygen isotopes in rainfall, and their subsequent deposition in the mammalian skeleton via ingested water, as a tool to explore residential mobility and migration. The method rests on the assumption that in most places and through much of the past...

'Frail cabins' and 'princely mansions': architecture and social hierarchy in early modern Munster (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Eve J. Campbell.

In the opening section of his Gaelic language text The history of Ireland (1632), the Munster cleric Geoffrey Keating took English writers to task for their misrepresentations of Ireland. Keating was particularly aggrieved by their conflation of the habits and material culture of the Irish nobility and the ‘inferior people’. His explicitly class conscious rebuttal of outsiders’ accounts of Ireland forms part of a broader discourse among the native Irish literati concerned with social hierarchy...
