Death and burial in Ireland 8000 BC - AD 400, 
with reference to Ulster.

The richness of the mortuary record that we have for Irish prehistory is a highlight of the archaeological record for that eight-thousand-year span of  time (8000 BC- AD 400). 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.

Speaker: Gabriel Cooney, Is emeritus professor of Celtic Archaeology, School of Archaeology, University College Dublin.
