5) Calling all #DogLovers or #Viking lovers

Can you help us claim a bone?

We’re only $75 away from hitting our @VikingDublinDog’s goal to help our latest guest: @Ruthfcarden

Every little bit helps us secure Seamus Plugson (that’s what we’re calling the dog in question). So here’s the link wonderful people

4) This bone rocked the timelines of Irish #Prehistory.

Originally found over 100 years ago, it had been stored away in a collection and its importance unknown until @Ruthfcarden took another look and realized its import.

Here Ruth tell the story ⬇️

We know little about the dogs of #VikingDublin.

On our latest episode @Ruthfcarden tells how a picture of a #Viking era dog jaw bone triggered a grass roots project to learn more about these dogs from over a 1,000 years ago. The picture is not always pretty but there is much to be learned here

"Despite Ireland being famous across the world for its ancient sites and historic buildings, some are at risk of being wiped from the map.
Our national monuments - from megalithic tombs to castles and industrial mills - not only face threats from climate change and vandalism but a policy brought in around 20 years ago means many have radically reduced State protection."

What do Irish archaeologists do when they find animal bones at a dig?

They send them off to the bone lady, our next guest, @RuthCardenPhoto

We talk with Ruth about her work and how a single bone has changed our understanding of #IrishHistory

Dropping at midnight tonight on all major #podcast platforms

A small stone church was established here as early as the 11th century, and it was later extended with a chancel in the 13th century.

The church has almost been entirely swallowed by the drifting sand, and has only been kept clear by the dedication and work of the islanders.

#IrishCaveBones Killuragh cave horse bones (partial distal tibia and pisiform bones) … earliest post Ice Age horse bones in Ireland found in this cave in Middle Bronze Age. But what kind of horses? We are collab with @StillJustRena to investigate further :) #LoveIrishResearch

More from Killuragh cave, Ireland. This distal humerus (fore leg) bone from a pig of wild boar found in the same pit fill as Arctic lemming, Irish mountain hare and wood mouse. Hopefully we can get it radiocarbon dated. Very visible parallel fine cut incised marks on the bone associated with butchering practices by humans. #IrishCaveBones #pigs #cutmarks #wildboar #irisharchaeology #cavearchaeology #archaeology #zooarchaeology

New episode of #AmplifyArchaeology Podcast!

In this fascinating discussion with Dr. Michelle Comber, we hear about the excavations at Caherconnell Stone Fort and the wealth of archaeology in the Burren. We also hear about the positive connections between archaeology, farming, and tourism.

You can find Amplify Archaeology Podcast on your favourite podcast platform. Or for the episode and shownotes:

@Pat you might find some under #IrishArchaeology or #IrishHistory hashtags and there's often a good representation of Irish sites in #StandingStoneSunday #StandingStoneSunday #MegalithicSite #Megalithic hashtags I find.

May also find more #Ireland info on the #Mastodaoine hashtag, someone on this may know of more specific accounts

In his book, 'Experiments on Reality', the cartographer and writer Tim Robinson describes the 'three fragile moments of place' as 'beauty, strangeness and antiquity'.

I can't think of anywhere that fits the criteria so well as Skellig Michael.

If you'd like to delve deeper into the story and visitor experience of Skellig Michael, you can read more in our free article

After sailing by it each time we went to Skellig Michael, it was fantastic to finally get to visit Illaunloughan at the weekend, lovely site!

Recommend the really interesting publication on the excavation there by Jenny White Marshall and Claire Walsh.

#AWOOOO!! A new Bite-sized Treat just dropped on the Blessington Demense dog, by Site Supervisor Andrew Fairbrother from @IACArchaeology , one of the commerical companies we are working with. #VikingDublinDogs #JoinThePack #Irisharchaeology #dogs #zooarchaeology https://www.vikingdublindogs.ie/post/the-blessington-demesne-dog

In celebration of #EuropeanDaysOfArchaeology Abarta Heritage and Discovery Programme bring you a video diary of our ongoing research at an early medieval ringfort in Leitrim. The team are using a range of non-invasive survey techniques to uncover hidden evidence which may tell us more about those who inhabited the site and the wider landscape, and how the community and public might engage with the monument in the future.

Loher monastic site and its very special carved cross. Hiding in plain site in #Kerry Well worth a visit

Just wondering: Does anyone know of any sources/reports that discuss differences between recent archaeological excavation programmes of Scotland/Ireland/Northern Ireland (or any combination of these)?

Interested to look at the varying site distributions and if there are varying trends in what types of sites are being excavated more frequently where.

Thank you for helping out a tired PhD student! 😂
