  • ANTH 34535: Ireland's Changing Landscape

    3.00 - 6.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    The aim of this course is to develop an appreciation of the various components of the modern Irish landscape - geological, geomorphological and cultural, to understand the ways the changes occurring through time and the influence these components have had upon one another. It also seeks to promote observational and analytical skills necessary to track and investigate landscape change while encouraging a broader understanding of the relationship between people and their environment. Areas covered include the geological formation of Ireland, processes associated with 'ice ages,' human occupation of Ireland during the past 9,000 years, the inter-relationships between landscape components and human activity, the relative significance of various agents of landscape change, and how the previous issues relate to contemporary landscape issues.

These sites, and other comparable examples, are considered in detail and their wider significance in the belief-system of the Celtic peoples of Europe is examined.

  • ANTH 34537: The Archaeology of Identity: Ireland from Norman Invasion to Modern Immigration

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    ARCH 30070 at UCD. Identity is one of the buzzwords in contemporary archaeological discourse. But what exactly does it mean? Does it apply at the level of the individual or at the level of the community, or both? Is it fixed or fluid? How critical is it to the material construction of society? How is it represented in, and how can it be retrieved from, the archaeological record? This module seeks to answer these questions by examining empirical evidence from medieval, modern, and contemporary Ireland, through a theoretical lens. The principal outcome of the module is a refinement of thinking about the nature of identity in the archaeological record, but the module also generates a more nuanced historical narrative of Ireland in the second millennium AD.

The debates that have shaped the course of the discipline will be examined through a series of themes such as 'The archaeology of identity' and 'Space and materiality'.
