Incarceration and food insecurity
This article focuses on the role of food interpretation in prison museums and penal heritage sites, which has been underexplored in recent critical analyses of penal tourism and heritage. The authors argue that food is a fundamental part of the lived experience of confinement and detention and lends itself to multiple forms of interpretation and programming activities. Following an overview of existing literature on food insecurity and the differ…
Material Dissonances in the Post-Conflict City
The city of Belfast in Northern Ireland has been made and remade through cycles of violence during its 400-year “history.” The most recent manifestation of violent conflict associated with the city was a low-level civil war euphemistically known as “the Troubles” (ca. 1968–ca. 1998). Alongside the enduring markers of bombings, civil unrest, and attempts to police and disrupt them, presences and absences can also be assigned to forced and facilita…
The Routledge Handbook of the Northern Ireland Conflict and Peace
The Routledge Handbook of the Northern Ireland Conflict and Peace is the first multi-authored volume to specifically address the many facets of the 30-year Northern Ireland conflict, colloquially known as the Troubles, and its subsequent peace process. This volume is rooted in opening space to address controversial subjects, answer key questions, and move beyond reductive analysis that reproduces a simplistic two community theses. The temporal sp…

A Suitable Place to Remember? Derelict Magdalen Laundries as Possible Sites of Conscience in Contemporary Ireland
It is less than a decade since the Irish government published the McAleese Report, which accepted the state’s role in facilitating abuse in Catholic Church-run Magdalen Laundries. At the time the then Taoiseach Enda Kenny tearfully apologizing for the state’s involvement, alongside promising redress for survivors. Although much has been achieved since that time, one aspect that has not been resolved is how we remember and memorialize that past. O…
Round table
The nature of Ireland's place within the British Empire continues to attract significant public and scholarly attention. While historians of Ireland have long accepted the complexity of Ireland's imperial past as both colonised and coloniser, the broader public debate has grown more heated in recent months, buffeted by Brexit, the Decade of Centenaries and global events. At the same time, the imperatives of social movements such as Black Lives Ma…
Value in Context
The complexity of the history of the Treblinka II Nazi German death camp (located in Poland) provides a unique opportunity to conduct a fine-grained examination of the concept of the value of material assemblages and how this can vary depending on temporal, historical, and societal context. Following its closure, the site transitioned from a razed camp to a crime scene to a potential treasure repository to a memorial and finally to an archaeologi…
Materials and Memory
Materials and Memory:Archaeology and Heritage as Tools of Transitional Justice at a Former Magdalen Laundry Laura McAtackney (bio) This article argues that refocusing the current emphasis on archaeology in planning laws, and its potential in creating cultural heritage, can play an important role in applying the principles of transitional justice to the legacy of Irish institutional abuse. Whereas transitional justice is frequently invoked in the …
Material and Intangible Interventions as Future
This paper uses archaeological studies of political imprisonment in Ireland to show how (im)material interventions at Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin are central to understanding evolving identity and memory in post-partition Ireland. This heritage prison is not only an “icon” of historical struggle, it is a material entity where archaeological methodologies can help to uncover the past realities of imprisonment. Furthermore, it is a highly political p…
The State of Decay into which the Island Has Fallen”
The social life of the newly created ‘laboring classes’ in the post-emancipation Caribbean has been relatively unexamined across a number of disciplinary perspectives. This paper argues for the need to bring together a variety of sources to enable researchers to gain a better understanding of this important, transitional time in Montserrat’s history. Using evidence gathered from archives in the Caribbean, North America and the British Isles, mate…
Contemporary Archaeology and the City
Contemporary Archaeology and the City' foregrounds the archaeological study of post-industrial and other urban transformations through a diverse, international collection of case studies. Over the past decade contemporary archaeology has emerged as a dynamic force for dissecting and contextualizing the material complexities of present-day societies. Contemporary archaeology challenges conventional anthropological and archaeological conceptions of…
Sensory deprivation during the Irish Civil War (1922–1923)
The Irish Civil War was a short-lived conflict fought between recent comrades over acceptability of the Anglo-Irish Treaty with Britain. The mass imprisonment of women during the Civil War should be viewed within the context of movement and targeting of women in the arena of guerilla warfare. Although there are difficulties in retrieving documentary and oral information on civil war prisoners due to poor survival of official records and later ret…

Women of an uncertain age
Geary and Stark find that Ireland's post-Famine per capita GDP converged with British levels, and that this convergence was largely due to total factor productivity growth rather than mass emigration. In this article, new long-run measurements of human capital accumulation in Ireland are devised in order to facilitate a better assessment of sources of this productivity growth, including the relative contribution of men and women. This is done by …

Graffiti Revelations and the Changing Meanings of Kilmainham Gaol in (Post)Colonial Ireland
The contemporary in post-medieval archaeology
Contemporary archaeology is an emerging field of enquiry within the wider discipline associated with the questioning of temporal boundaries in what we study and why we engage with material remains of the recent past more generally. This article argues that contemporary archaeology should be broadly defined at this stage in its development and therefore can be located in Post-Medieval Archaeology through research that explicitly engages with what …

An Archaeology of the Troubles
Long Kesh/Maze prison was infamous as the major holding centre for paramilitary prisoners during the course of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Some of the major events of the recent conflict centred on, emanated from, and were transformed by it, including the burning of the internment camp in 1974, the protests and hunger strikes of 1980–1981, the mass escape of PIRA prisoners in 1983, and the role of prisoners in facilitating and sustaining th…

Peace maintenance and political messages
The role of wall murals - as both territorial markers and as a means of maintaining and reinforcing identity - has been a frequent subject of study as a way of understanding the recent conflict in Northern Ireland, euphemistically known as 'the Troubles' (c. 1969-c. 1998). Whilst the heightened political and social relevance of murals and graffiti during civil conflict is undoubtedly a worthy subject of study, the role of their physical context -…
