Common animals
Animal husbandry was of fundamental consequence in the planning and development of larger and more permanent communities. Pastoralism is often assumed to be highly mobile when considering social institutions and political formations, despite the diversity of husbandry practices that are either wholly, or largely, tethered to relatively sedentary social aggregations. Key tenets of more settled animal husbandry are intensive social relations betwee…
Sensational Ensembles
Drawing on posthumanist and sensory archaeology, this paper explores ensemble practices as an alternative to Eurocentric conceptions of ritual as a heuristic of cross-cultural comparison. We identify ensemble practices as the gathering of assemblages that create meaning for participants through their comingling with evocative juxtapositions of bodies, objects, comestibles, built spaces, landscapes, and environmental forces. The sensorial intensit…
The Good Death and the Materiality of Mourning
Pebbles andPeregrinatio
SINCE 2008, the island of Inishark, Co Galway, Ireland, has been the subject of archaeological research by the Cultural Landscapes of the Irish Coast (CLIC) project, directed by Ian Kuijt of the University of Notre Dame.

Using a relational perspective centred on the concept of 'taskscape', this ar…

Drawing from recent participant observation at Croagh Patrick mounta…
