I’ve read there are something in the region of 10,000 such sites in Ireland. Most, I imagine, have lain undisturbed for centuries. What lies waiting to be discovered?

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

Image showing fundraising effort for Viking Dublin Dogs effort stands at $325, just $75 short of the $400 target

Image also shows a collage depicting 3 Viking dogs generated using Bing AI

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 ⬇️

12,500 year old Brown Bear patella. Note the curt marks on the bone which were made by a human hand. Prior to the discovery of this bone, the earliest evidence of modern humans in Ireland was believed to be 10,000 years ago

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

A partial distal tibia and a pisiform bone from horses, found in Killuragh cave, Co. Limerick Ireland. A scale bar is seen at the bottom.

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.

@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

A gannet flies past the island of Skellig Michael over a deep blue sea.

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.
