DESCRIPTION

This module introduces students to the archaeology of Ireland from the Iron Age to the 12th century AD. It comprises a cumulative exploration of identity both during those centuries and resulting from those centuries. The archaeology of Ireland?s ?Celtic? Iron Age, its ?Golden Age? of Christianity and art, and its interaction with the Viking world, will guide discussions of what it was like to live in Ireland during those eras, and where elements of modern Celtic identity have originated. This last touches on the role of archaeology in the development of identity.
