Historical Archaeology on the Island of Ireland: New Perspectives
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2020
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Historical Archaeology on the Island of Ireland: New Perspectives," at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Sponsored by the Irish Post-Medieval Archaeology Group (IPMAG) this session highlights contemporary archaeological practice in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Once the subject of derision, later historical archaeology is now a diverse and dynamic field of study that has rapidly expanded since the 1999 establishment of IPMAG. The session brings together leading practitioners who collectively demonstrate the singular importance of bringing an archaeological sensibility to explorations of the past five hundred years. Contributors foreground the role of the material in the shaping of Irish lives, situate the island in its global context, and address the role of contemporary role of archaeology in negotiating historical legacies on the island of Ireland.
