‘No Friend for Sorrow but Memory’
This paper explores the social visibility of children from Gaelic Irish and settler families during the 17th and 18th centuries given the very significant economic and cultural changes which followed the Plantation of Ulster.Predominantly Protestant settlers from Britain ousted native Catholic congregations from traditional places of worship, which became Protestant churches, and graveyards were now shared with Planter families.Using information …
Considering care
OBJECTIVE: This article explores the potential care provided to a middle-aged man who had a suite of injuries evident in his skeleton, most notably an obturator fracture dislocation in his left hip. MATERIALS: The skeleton derived from the Late Medieval Gaelic population buried at Ballyhanna, Co. Donegal, Ireland. METHODS: A transdisciplinary bioarchaeology of care approach was adopted to undertake a phenomenological study of an individual with a…
Enhancing mummy ‘palaeobiographies’ through the use of multidisciplinary techniques and approaches
Scientific examination of mummies has provided a better understanding of the ancestry, diet, disease, medical practices, mummification processes, culture and society of human populations worldwide and from different epochs. However, many examinations have been invasive and/or destructive, leading to current-day concerns among archaeologists and mummy custodians about this methodology. Multidisciplinary approaches, notably minimally invasive biops…
Forging the link among shape, formwork, and mortar assemblies in Guastavino vaulting
While the history of the Rafael Guastavino Company has been documented and studied to great length, the limited published research that is focused on the construction materials and assembly methods indicates that vaults were erected with minimal or no form-work, using tiles in combination with only gypsum mortar and Portland cement mortar. Physical evidence collected from a series of Guastavino vaults documented in this paper tells a much more nu…
‘The Child that is Born of One’s Fair Body’ – Maternal and Infant Death in Medieval Ireland
The paper explores the historical and archaeological evidence for maternal and infant death in medieval Ireland. An overview of a range of historical sources including law tracts, medical documents, and folklore are investigated for insights concerning the treatment of pregnant women, abortion, post-mortem caesarean, and the nature of herbs that were administered to assist with female reproductive matters. This provides the context for a review o…
Diet in Medieval Gaelic Ireland
In a City of Mills and Canals
Lowell, Massachusetts, is considered as the birthplace of the industrial revolution in the United States during the early nineteenth-century. Established in 1821 by a group of Bostonian entrepreneurs, the new textile factories harnessed the waters of the Merrimack River to power their waterwheels using a system of canals, dug and maintained by labourers. While this work employed many local Yankees, it also attracted groups of emigrant Irish worke…
Migration and Memorials
Lowell is considered as the birthplace of the industrial revolution in the early nineteenth-century United States. Originating in 1822, the new textile factories harnessed the waters of the Merrimack River using a system of canals, dug and maintained by laborers. While this work employed many local Yankees, it also attracted groups of emigrant Irish workers. Grave memorials are a valuable source of information concerning religious and ethnic iden…
Dental markers of poverty
OBJECTIVES: Despite subsisting on a low-cariogenic diet comprising virtually nothing more than potatoes and dairy products, poor oral health affected the quality of life for the poor of nineteenth-century Ireland. This study investigates potential biocultural reasons that may explain why this was the case. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 6,860 teeth and 9,889 alveoli from 363 permanent dentitions from the skeletal remains of impoverished adult I…

Tales Out of School – The ‘Hidden Curriculum’ in National Schools in the North of Ireland During the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
The paper addresses the possibility of the existence of a ‘hidden curriculum’ in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century National Schools by comparing working practices evident from an analysis of a sample of schools from two case study areas in the north of Ireland – Derry City and the rural area of Boho/Derrygonnelly in western County Fermanagh. The relationship between the placement of the school buildings and variations in their external appe…

Stable isotope dietary analysis of prehistoric populations from the Minusinsk Basin, Southern Siberia, Russia
Iron Age pastoral nomadism and agriculture in the eastern Eurasian steppe
Scurvy in the Great Irish Famine
Scurvy has increasingly been recognized in archaeological populations since the 1980s but this study represents the first examination of the paleopathological findings of scurvy in a known famine population. The Great Famine (1845–1852) was a watershed in Irish history and resulted in the death of one million people and the mass emigration of just as many. It was initiated by a blight which completely wiped out the potato—virtually the only sourc…

Multiple osteochondromas in the archaeological record
New Radiocarbon Dates and a Review of the Chronology of Prehistoric Populations from the Minusinsk Basin, Southern Siberia, Russia
The results are presented of a new program of radiocarbon dating undertaken on 88 human skeletons. The individuals derived from Eneolithic to Early Iron Age sites—Afanasievo, Okunevo, Andronovo (Fedorovo), Karasuk, and Tagar cultures—in the Minusinsk Basin of Southern Siberia. All the new dates have been acquired from human bone, which is in contrast to some of the previous dates for this region obtained from wood and thus possibly unreliable due…

Excavation at Orquil souterrain, St Ola, Orkney
In July 1971 a souterrain was excavated at Orquil, St Ola, Orkney. Although it is generally typical of many Orcadian souterrains, a lower subsidiary pit feature was identified during the course of excavation which appears to be a novel feature of souterrain construction

Archaeological evidence for the first Mesolithic occupation of the Western Isles of Scotland
The examination of eroding coastal dunes at the prehistoric site of Northton, Harris, has produced the first archaeological evidence of Mesolithic activity in the Western Isles in the form of two midden-related deposits. The first phase of Mesolithic activity is dated to 7060-6650 cal. BC based on AMS dating of charred hazelnut shells. This discovery appears to validate the frequent pollen-based inferences of Mesolithic impact for the area and, a…

Herodotus and the cannibals
Herodotus' 5th-century BC Histories provide us with one of the earliest written accounts for the practice of cannibalism. This paper examines the references concerning cannibalism contained in Herodotus, reviews the theories proposed to account for these references, and suggests a new explanation for this cultural motif
Medieval and Post-Medieval Butchered Dogs from Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland
Large quantities of animal bones were recovered from Medieval and Post-Medieval contexts during recent archaeological excavations in the historic town of Carrickfergus in Co. Antrim. A notable proportion of the dog bones present in this corpus of material displayed clear evidence for butchery and/or skinning. This is an unusual occurrence since it is generally the case that only the occasional dog bone in an archaeological assemblage will display…

Excavations at Kaimes Hill, Ratho, City of Edinburgh, 1964 -72
Kaimes Hill, City of Edinburgh, has been the focus for both antiquarian and modern archaeological research since at least the mid-nineteenth century and has produced evidence for activity dating from the Mesolithic through to the medieval period. The paper assimilates this evidence, provides a complete account of the excavations undertaken over the ramparts, `hut circles', prehistoric ritual and funerary monuments by D D A Simpson between 1964--7…
Post-Beaker Period Death and Burial at Northton, Isle Of Harris, Scotland
The prehistoric site of Northton, Isle of Harris, is best known for the important settlement evidence that it has produced. A total of 15 burials, however, have also been recovered from the site. These have recently been subject to a new programme of osteological and palaeopathological analysis and radiocarbon dating, the results of which indicate that the burials date from the immediate post-Beaker period through to the later Iron Age. As such, …

A Possible Case of Hydrocephalus in a Medieval Child from Doonbought Fort, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland
Hydrocephalus is a condition that is rarely found in the palaeopathological record. It has been demonstrated in a modern study of untreated cases of hydrocephalus that 50 per cent of children suffering from the disease die within the first 18 months of life. It is probable that the situation was the same in archaeological populations and that the delicate nature of neonatal and infant crania accounts for the paucity of palaeopathological evidence…
Possible neurofibromatosis in a Scythian period individual from the cemetery of Aymyrlyg, Tuva, South Siberia
The article presents evidence of possible neurofibromatosis in a female cranium discovered in a Scythian period (7th–2nd century BC) context from the cemetery complex of Aymyrlyg, Tuva, south Siberia. The diagnosis of neurofibromatosis has been suggested on the basis of enlarged orbits, signs for the presence of a soft tissue tumour in the left orbit, facial abnormalities and the survival age of the individual. Neurofibromatosis is a congenital c…
