Ballinderry Crannóg No. 2, Co. Offaly: the Later Bronze Age
(1997)
Newman, Conor
Abstract:
A reconsideration of the later Bronze Age horizon at Ballinderry No. 2 where the Harvard Archaeological Mission uncovered a substantial rectangular wooden building. A case is made for the former existence of a second such building and for the re-dating of ten circular wicker structures to the 6th century AD. Published in the Journal of Irish Archaeology 8 (1997), 93-100.

Ballineaspigmore and Bishopstown House

Ballineaspigmore and Bishopstown House
(1981)
McCarthy, J. P.
Abstract:
Published Version
Ballineaspig, anglicised Bishopstown, consists of two townlands which are Ballineaspigmore and Ballineaspigbeg. Taken together, both townlands occupy an area identifiable in modern day terms as lying approximately between the old Glasheen National School on the east side and what was, until recently, the University Farm Curraheen Road on the west. A townland is the smallest administrative land division in Ireland. Historians and other scholars are as yet inconclusive about the origins of these divisions. They are certainly as old as the seventeenth century. The townland with which this booklet is concerned is known as Ballineaspigmore. It extends west from the new Regional Hospital at Wilton and includes modern housing estates such as Uam-Var, Benvoirlich and Firgrove. The simplest translation of the townland name is the large land division of the bishop. To clarify a popular misconception, Bishopstown does not derive its name from the fact that in the early ...

Continuity, cult and contest
(2011)
Waddell, John
Abstract:
The degree to which pagan traditions influenced early medieval Irish literature has been the subject of some debate. The phrase a window on the Iron Age once encapsulated a view that epic tales in particular depicted a real prehistoric past. The general rejection of this thesis has accentuated a perception of a wide gulf between pagan and Christian Ireland. Archaeology now offers considerable evidence for continuity in funerary ritual, art and monument usage between pagan pre-Christian times and the early Medieval era. This is especially evident at archaeological complexes such as Teltown (Tailtiu), Rathcroghan (Cruachain) and Tara and in a number of literary references to pagan prophetic or divinatory practices at prehistoric burial mounds in Medieval times. The process of the Christianization of Ireland is often seen as an instance of religious syncreticism, a fusion of the old and the new, but the ready acceptance of a syncretic model obscures how complex, prolonged and contested...

Excavation at 'Dathi's Mound', Rathcroghan, Co. Roscommon

Excavation at 'Dathi's Mound', Rathcroghan, Co. Roscommon
(1988)
Waddell, John
Abstract:
The partial excavation of the embanked mound and standing stone known as 'Dathi's Mound' at the royal site of Rathcroghan, Co. Roscommon, confirmed that the mound had been cut from a natural gravel ridge. It also revealed the existence of a substantial ditch within the encircling bank thus indicating affinities with the ring-barrow class. No burial was found but radiocarbon determinations date the construction of the monument not, as traditionally thought, to the fifth century AD but to the late first millennium BC or the early first millennium AD. Published in the Journal of Irish Archaeology 4 (1987-88), 23-36.

Genealogy, method

Genealogy, method
(2009)
Crowley, Una
Abstract:
Genealogy is a historical perspective and investigative method, which offers an intrinsic critique of the present. It provides people with the critical skills for analysing and uncovering the relationship between knowledge, power and the human subject in modern society and the conceptual tools to understand how their being has been shaped by historical forces. Genealogy works on the limits of what people think is possible, not only exposing those limits and confines but also revealing the spaces of freedom people can yet experience and the changes that can still be made (Foucault 1988). Genealogy as method derives from German philosophy, particularly the works of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), but is most closely associated with French academic Michel Foucault (1926-24). Michel Foucault’s genealogical analyses challenge traditional practices of history, philosophical assumptions and established conceptions of knowledge, truth and power. Genealogy displaces the primacy of the subje...

Images, representations and heritage: moving beyond modern approaches to archaeology

Images, representations and heritage: moving beyond modern approaches to archaeology
(2006)
Russell, Ian
Abstract:
This poster describes a new edited volume by Ian Russell. Recent archaeological theory has shown that images of the past have carried a particularly strong resonance within modern social groups. This volume explores the immeasurable impact that the phenomenon of archaeology has had on the representation of the past in the modern world. This volume begins a discourse on the implications of performing archaeology in a world dominated by modern trends of mass production, mass replication and representation of cultural forms and mass consumption of images of the past. The contributors explore to what extent we are experiencing a crisis of representation of the past due to contemporary consumption of mass-produced replicas, simulations, images and experiences of the past. To work through this crisis the contributors in this volume are exploring opportunities for development within archaeological thought and practice. This volume signals a fundamental revision of archaeology - not what it...

Misinformation, disinformation and downright distortion: the Battle to Save Tara 1999-2005
(2007)
Newman, Conor
Abstract:
The routing of a new motorway, the M3, through the valley between the Hill of Tara and Skreen, prompted international controversy. Conor Newman traces the history of a proposal that did irreparable damage to the culturally important royal landscape of Tara. In recounting the efforts made by scholars (both Irish and international) and local groups to stop an extraordinary act of cultural vandalism, he also records the campaign made by official Ireland to force the project through. This article, 'Misinformation, disinformation and downright distortion: the Battle to Save Tara 1999-2005' was published in C. Newman and U. Strohmayer, Uninhabited Ireland. Tara, the M3 and Public Spaces in Galway. Two essays by Conor Newman and Ulf Strohmayer. Arlen House, Galway. 2007, 59-102.

Reflexive representations: an artistic exploration of some archaeological theory
(2006)
Russell, Ian; Cochrane, Andrew
Abstract:
These exhibitions seek to contest traditional mechanisms for representation and spectatorship by questioning the status that the document and pictorial image play in archaeological discourse. Photomosaics of iconic archaeologists and archaeological monuments are constructed through the manufacture of archives of public images available over internet search engines. By juxtaposing the figures of archaeologists or archaeological artefacts with a collage of public images, the pieces reveal the manufacture of representations of archaeological identities (archaeologists) and that of the artefacts and monuments with which they work.

Streets of the Ancient Near East: Design and Decoration

Streets of the Ancient Near East: Design and Decoration
(2007)
Fitzgerald, Aoife
Abstract:
The cities of the Near East display some of the best archaeological evidence for urban design and decoration in the Roman Empire. The plans of Apamea (Syria), Palmyra (Syria) and Jerash (Jordan) are perfect examples of orthogonal (gridded) city plans. Orthogonal city plans were a common feature of Roman urban planning. In cities where such plans were employed, streets would intersect each other at right angles. The main street of a city would usually run from east to west, this street was called the Decumanus Maximus. The street that ran north to south was called the Cardo Maximus. These main streets formed the centre of the city. These streets were often very elaborately decorated with colonnades.

Abstract:
The role of the Irish Sea in the study of past contacts between Ireland and Britain is reviewed. Analysis of a selection of distribution maps relating to the period c. 4000 B.C. to c. 500 B.C. suggests the possibility of a recurring cycle of contacts over a long time span. Published in the Journal of Irish Archaeology 6 (1991-92), 29-39.

The prehistoric archaeology of Ireland
(1998)
Waddell, John
Abstract:
The first edition of The Prehistoric Archaeology of Ireland was published by Galway University Press (now no more) in 1998. This comprehensive survey of Irish prehistory is still a useful work of reference. This is a proof copy of that edition containing some minor typographical errors and misalignment of endnotes. A second edition with a short preface and some minor corrections was published by Wordwell in 2000. A third revised edition (also published by Wordwell, Dublin) will appear in 2010 and will detail the main archaeological discoveries and developments of the last decade. It lacks the brief section 'A Short History of Prehistoric Archaeology in Ireland' now covered by the author's book Foundation Myths: the beginnings of Irish archaeology published in 2005.

The sacral landscape of Tara: a preliminary exploration

The sacral landscape of Tara: a preliminary exploration
(2011)
Newman, Conor
Abstract:
In a preliminary exploration of the Tara landscape, this article examines features of the land between the twin hills of Tara and of Skreen, a broad valley through which flows the Gabhra river and now crudely divided by the new M3 motorway. It is argued that this was a sacralised landscape in which archaeology, toponomy and mythology were intimately associated with the rituals of sacral kingship. The Gabhra river (the river of the white mare) was probably perceived as a manifestation of the equine sovereignty goddess and was just one of the significant features of a landscape deeply imbued with religious meanings and symbolism. The range and significance of sites excavated in advance of the motorway simply proved this point at enormous cost. From the royal settlement at Lagore (Loch nGabor, the lake of the white mare) south of Tara, to Collierstown where an important cemetery was excavated, to a major settlement at Baronstown, to a wooden temple at Lismullin, these are just some o...

The Sword in the Stone: previously unrecognised archaeological evidence of ceremonies of the later Iron Age and early medieval period
(2009)
Newman, Conor
Abstract:
Published in G. Cooney et al. (eds), Relics of Old Decency: archaeological studies in later prehistory. Festschrift for Barry Raftery (Wordwell, Dublin, 2009), 425-36, this is a proof copy of an introduction to on-going research on a series of narrow grooves cut into a range of stone artefacts and monuments. These grooves are found, for example, on the decorated Mullaghmast Stone (now in the National Museum of Ireland), on the market cross at Kells, Co. Meath, and on several ogham stones. It is suggested that such grooves reflect a ritual in which a sword blade was drawn across a special stone to imbue the weapon with some of the stone's magical potency. This may be the explanation for the famous Arthurian motif of 'the sword in the stone' where the young Arthur has his royal destiny confirmed when he draws the sword of kingship from a stone.

Visualizing Archaeologies: A Manifesto

Visualizing Archaeologies: A Manifesto
(2007)
RUSSELL, IAN
Abstract:
peer-reviewed
Is archaeology a science? Is archaeology a humanity? What are the politics of spectatorship and archaeological representation? These initial thoughts form the basis for our archaeological explorations. Within current archaeological discourse, there are a growing number of requests for expressions, which illuminate and expose the interpretive and artistic qualities of presentation and narration. Yet few scholars actively utilize expressive practice to explore these philosophical issues. As such, we feel that it is an opportune time to intervene in visual and textual discourse by issuing a manifesto for our project. We call for a development of a critically reflexive practice of visual archaeological expressionism, which seeks to contest traditional modes of thought and action.
