With or without corners! Thoughts on some recent prehistoric house excavations

February, 2009 · Written by: John Tierney This entry is part 12 of 34 in the Issue 01

Last September 2008 we presented a lecture to the annual NRA Seminar on recent archaeological findings on Irish road projects - the main theme of our talk was how archaeological hypotheses are developed, tested, reviewed and reformulated - we took Neolithic rectangular houses and Bronze Age round-houses as case studies and the main lecture slides are presented here. Some of the interactivity of the slides did not translate into slideshare and we will also probably present them as an Adobe pdf file.
Slides 20 and 21 are screencaptures taken from work done by Digitale Archaeologie for Cork County Council.
