Rathcroghan Conference 2017: Archaeology Above & Below

Programme of Contributions

The programme of contributors at Archaeology Above & Below 2017, 8th & 9th April, espouses the spirit of community archaeology, as we look at projects and activities at very different stages of development, and incorporate a wide range of techniques and procedures, all with one goal in mind: to understand more about the landscapes we inhabit.

The sessions are divided thematically, with focused sessions on Graveyard Studies, Wetland Archaeology, Landscape Studies as well as individual case-studies on particular environments both in Ireland and further afield.

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Niall Brady, an expert in Medieval Irish Archaeology and Project Director of the 'Castles in Communities' Project, to provide what will be an engrossing Keynote Lecture, entitled:
'Castles in Communities: the Ballintober Project, what, why and how', to round off the proceedings on a  very busy first day of the conference.

We finish the weekend with a unique field-trip to the masonry remains of Ballintober Castle, led by Dr. Brady, who will provide us with the historical background to this fascinating monument, as well as discussing some of the results from the ongoing excavations and geophysical investigations being conducted as part of the 'Castles in Communities' Project.

Select the profiles at the top of the page to read more about some of the excellent contributions at this year's conference.

You can now download the programme in it's entirety by clicking Archaeology Above & Below 2017

​Looking forward to seeing you all in April!
