The Architecture of the basilicae sanctorum of Seventh-Century Armagh and Kildare
This paper offers new interpretations of two basilical churches recorded in the seventh century. It is argued that the australis bassilica at Armagh was part of a stone-built double-church, that it was located to the north of the present cathedral, and that its ground plan and some fabric survived into the seventeenth century. A new reconstruction of the basilica maxima in Kildare is offered, and the suggestion made that it was a form of double-c…
Churches in antis
Features of early medieval stone-built churches in Ireland, such as antae, have been identified as skeuomorphs — symbolic imitations — of features of timber architecture. It is argued in this paper that skeuomorphism is much less in evidence in the stone churches than has been supposed. It is also argued that antae must be understood as architectural iconography, and that their referent might have been the Temple of Solomon

Early Islamic North Africa
This volume proposes a new approach to the Arab conquests and the spread of Islam in North Africa. In recent years, those studying the Islamic world have shown that the coming of Islam was not marked by devastation or decline, but rather by considerable cultural and economic continuity. In North Africa, with continuity came significant change. Corisande Fenwick argues that the establishment of Muslim rule also coincided with a phase of intense ur…
Reconstructing Kilmainham
For almost 400 years the Knights of St John of Jerusalem – the Knights Hospitaller – maintained a priory in Kilmainham, Co. Dublin, as their principal residence in Ireland. Nothing survives of it above ground. The priory's early history and topography are mainly shrouded in mystery, but a fourteenth-century registrum illuminates the workings of its community and the character of its members, and provides valuable evidence relating to the appearan…

Irish ‘Post-Medieval’ Archaeology
Those of us on this side of the Atlantic who choose to describe our field as historical archaeology rather than post-medieval archaeology generally buy into two ideas. One is that ‘historical archaeology’ connotes a complex, ideologically rationalised, praxis; it is not simply the archaeological study of the historically recorded past. The second is that historical archaeology's study area is the entire world; no matter how local our focus, globa…
Crossing Paths or Sharing Tracks?
Brings together over thirty of the leading scholars in Post Medieval archaeology and examines how this relatively new discipline has developed and where it is going. The impetus for this volume lies in the expansion of interest in Post Medieval archaeology in university, commercial, and voluntary sectors. The study of Post Medieval archaeology is a relatively new discipline but, within archaeology as a whole, it represents one of the fastest grow…

Can the ‘archaeology of Europe’ survive postprocessual euroscepticism
In the title of his paper Professor Kristiansen poses a question that turns out to be affirmatively rhetorical. One could surely be forgiven for reading the title and thinking that this eminent European and europeanist prehistorian had lobbed his own grenade of doubt into a discipline which, despite occasional protestations, has long assumed Europe to be a real place, a legitimate geographical context. In truth, it is not really a surprise that P…
Starting as we mean to go on. Why we need a theoretically informed historical archaeology in Ireland
Dr Horning's paper touches issues of fundamental importance both to contemporary Ireland as a place of historically rooted cultural contestation and to the discipline of historical archaeology in Ireland. It has a core message: archaeologists can blunt some of those sharp edges of cultural-political division that originated in Plantation-era settlement by revealing how historical sites that seem on the surface to belong on one or other aggrieved …
