PLEASE SHARE WITH INTERESTED FOLKS! I am co-organizing a session for the #EAA2026 with some fellow scholars” Session #65 “Rounding out the Menu: Underrepresented Plants in the Archaeology of Foodways.” Flyer with session abstract and additional info coming soon!

UCD School of Archaeology PhD/MLitt Research Day kicks off, an exciting range of topics being explored by our researchers

Can the archaeological collective help? These are finds from our recent excavation at Glendalough. All from cultivated soils with lots of C19-20 material. Triangular(ish) sections, varied widths. They are very clearly a 'thing' but we don't know what. Any suggestions/parallels appreciated.

UCD archaeobotanists past and present are at the IWGP conference in Groningen, Netherlands this week. This is the largest gathering of archaeobotanists in the world, providing an excellent opportunity for the Irish team to share their research findings on the global stage archaeobotany.org/iwgp2025/

Everyone at the end of our @ucdarchaeology.bsky.social student training programme - next two weeks are community volunteer excavation. Thanks to all for their hard work znc engagement, especially in the ridiculous heat of the last couple of days...

Marc got the job of planning the small stones at the bottom of the trench - it was all too much in the end 😂

I will be giving a talk at the IIHSA’s Day School “Hearth And Home: Everyday Lives In The Ancient World” at Trinity College Dublin on 29 March, further details and booking at the link below! www.iihsa.ie/events/heart...
