This lecture will consider changing patterns in the treatment of the dead of the earliest human generations who lived in Ireland, referring to Ulster, and how the evidence here relates to wider trends across the island and internationally. The lecture also provides an opportunity to reflect on the relationships between past and present mortuary practices. |
