O Riordain, MRIA, Professor of Celtic Archaeology at University College Dublin (UCD), died in 1957 at the age of 52. He was at the peak of his career, engaged in an ongoing research project at Tara where he had undertaken excavations at the Rath of the Synods (Raith na Seanad, Grogan et al. forthcoming), Raith na Rig (Roche 2002) and the Mound of the Hostages (Duma na nGiall) where a further season of work was carried out by his successor in UCD, Professor Ruaidhri de Valera (O' Sullivan 2005). O Riordain 's work at Tara turned out to be the final act of a very impressive engagement in archaeological research, much of it published in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy. His papers published therein included those on his series of excavations on the Curragh, Co. Kildare (O Riordain 1950a); his consideration of Roman material in Ireland (O Riordain 1947a); and major excavations at Cush, Co. Limerick (O Riordain 1940), Garranes, Co. Cork (O Riordain 1942), Ballycatteen, Co. Cork (O Riordain and Hartnett 1943), and Letterkeen, Co. Mayo (O Riordain and MacDermott 1 952); that made a very significant contribution to our understanding of early Christian or early medieval Ireland. The co-authored volume on Newgrange and the Bend of the Boyne that appeared after his death (O Riordain and Daniel 1964) demonstrated that he was also very actively involved in the study of the passage tombs of the Bend of the Boyne. Sean P. O Riordain 's impact on Irish archaeology has been outlined in various papers (O'Kelly 1957; Cooney 1997a; de hoir 2002; Wallace 2004; Waddell 2005, 225-6) and as Waddell (2005, 225) has commented O Riordain 's work at Lough Gur occupies a central place in his achievement and career. From 1936 to 1954 (with a break in 1952-3) he worked in the Lough Gur area of south-east Co. Limerick, where as he put it, 'there is a small lake set in a group of limestone hills' (O Riordain 1954, 298). Fifty years on, his research programme in this area still ranks as arguably the most intensive excavation-based investigation of a landscape anywhere in Ireland (Grogan 2005a, 47), matched in scale only over the last decade or so by the archaeological survey and excavation associated with major infrastructural developments such as motorways. O Riordain 's work built on existing research (Windle 1912; O'Kelly 1942, 1943a, 1943b, 1944) and involved the","PeriodicalId":43075,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY SECTION C-ARCHAEOLOGY CELTIC STUDIES HISTORY LINGUISTICS LITERATURE","volume":"7 1","pages":"215 - 225"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78690821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this he reviewed the material available for a study of the subject and gave a more detailed examination of some of the texts. The present work intends to supplement the 1973 essay. It concentrates on three central topics: (1) the full collation of a hitherto unstudied text, the fragments of an Irish Hebraicum Psalter in MS. Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF) fr. 2452 (tenth century), fols 75-84, which on analysis is revealed as an early representative of the typical Irish recension of the Hebraicum (AKI—the sigla for the psalter text of the three MSS Amiatinus, Florence, Biblioteca Mediceo-Laurenziana Amiatino I; Karlsruhe, Landesbibliothek Augienis XXXVIII; Rouen, Bibliothèque municipale 24 [A. 41]); (2) a more detailed examination of the Psalter ofCormac (thirteenth century); and (3) of the so-called Psalter ofCaimin (c. 1100). With these, two comments on two other psalters are also given (that in the 'Reference Bible' and the Double Psalter of St-Ouen) while a preliminary section treats of texts having a bearing on the understanding of the psalter in Ireland (the Tituli psalmorum attributed to Bede; psalm prologues and biblical canticles and psalm prayers).","PeriodicalId":43075,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY SECTION C-ARCHAEOLOGY CELTIC STUDIES HISTORY LINGUISTICS LITERATURE","volume":"104 1","pages":"104 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78706203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite our rich literary sources, evidence for horticulture as well as the use of collected and exotic foodstuffs in medieval Ireland is still under-represented, and the remains of such plants rarely survive to make any inferences on the subject. The increase in archaeobotanical research in Ireland is producing a valuable archaeological dataset to help assess the nature, composition and variation of food plants in the medieval diet. Botanical remains preserved in anoxic deposits provide a unique snapshot of the diversity of plants consumed at a site, including information on processing techniques, storage and seasonality. With particular reference to urban medieval sites dating from the tenth to the fifteenth centuries, this paper will present and appraise the archaeological evidence for the use and consumption of cultivated, wild and imported foodstuffs, and the areas of research that still need to be addressed.","PeriodicalId":43075,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY SECTION C-ARCHAEOLOGY CELTIC STUDIES HISTORY LINGUISTICS LITERATURE","volume":"17 1","pages":"111 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90902106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

O’Callaghan","doi":"10.3318/PRIC.2004.104.1.37","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3318/PRIC.2004.104.1.37","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This essay seeks to contextualise the intelligence work of the Royal Irish Constabulary, particularly in the 1880s, in terms of the wider British and imperial practice and, as a corollary, to reflect upon aspects of the structure of the state apparatus and the state archive in Ireland since the Union. The author contrasts Irish and British police and bureaucratic work and suggests parallels between Ireland and other imperial locations, especially India. This paper also defines the narrowly political, indeed partisan, uses to which this intelligence was put, particularly during the Special Commission of 1888 on 'Parnellism and crime', when government-held police records were made available to counsel for The Times. By reflecting on the structure of the state apparatus and its use in this instance, the author aims to further the debate on the governance of nineteenth-century Ireland and to explore issues of colonial identity and practice. The line of argument proposed in this essay is prefigured in Margaret O'Callaghan, British high politics and a nationalist Ireland: criminality, land and the law under Forster and Balfour (Cork, 1994).","PeriodicalId":43075,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY SECTION C-ARCHAEOLOGY CELTIC STUDIES HISTORY LINGUISTICS LITERATURE","volume":"27 1","pages":"37 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90148214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bacon advised Robert Devereux, earl of Essex; Robert Cecil, secretary of state; James, king of Great Britain and Ireland; and George Villiers, earl of Buckingham on politics, religion and colonisation during a traumatic and transformative period in Anglo-Irish relations. Bacon was involved in judicial proceedings against Essex after his return from Ireland in 1600/01 and against Irish parliamentary dissidents in 1613/14. He later participated in making Irish policy as lord chancellor in Buckingham's regime. Successively adviser, actor and influencer in an increasingly absolutist political system, Bacon was a moderately inclined imperialist in Irish policy. As a metropolitan intellectual dealing with Ireland, his type was represented in contemporary literature by Spenser's character Eudoxus.","PeriodicalId":43075,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY SECTION C-ARCHAEOLOGY CELTIC STUDIES HISTORY LINGUISTICS LITERATURE","volume":"8 1","pages":"173 - 198"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85458264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This meant that houses became more comfortable, more outwardly symmetrical in elevation and plan. Over the decades internal arrangements in houses and castles were transformed, with the great chamber taking precedence over the hall as the room of state. By the middle of the seventeenth century processional routes through the houses of the aristocracy gradually gave way to the flexible French arrangement of the appartement influenced by English court practice. This essay seeks to examine changes in building, plan, room usage and furnishings of the various types of high-status dwellings in Ireland during the period in question; ranging from the relatively small courtyard house, remodelling of earlier buildings and some few examples of newbuilds.","PeriodicalId":43075,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY SECTION C-ARCHAEOLOGY CELTIC STUDIES HISTORY LINGUISTICS LITERATURE","volume":"24 1","pages":"141 - 168"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87517802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, I argue that the survival or otherwise of monuments was related to their perceived role as containers of memory. Thus, destructive acts may have reflected the loss of memories or accommodations between competing ways of attaching value to monuments. While forces operating at a broad social scale were frequently blamed for this destruction, it is my contention that mechanisms facilitating the removal or alteration of monuments were incorporated into the various belief systems that ostensibly guaranteed their protection. These mechanisms included the translation of monuments into monetary resources. They also included the negotiation of changing social, economic and political understandings (including 'modernity') through interactions with the physical fabric of sites.","PeriodicalId":43075,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY SECTION C-ARCHAEOLOGY CELTIC STUDIES HISTORY LINGUISTICS LITERATURE","volume":"60 27","pages":"127 - 145"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72368131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the 1750s onwards he became one of the most sought after scribes as he was employed by many of the leading Irish antiquarians, both Protestant and Catholic, to copy and translate Gaelic manuscripts. During the 1760s and 1770s he compiled detailed catalogues of the contents of books and manuscripts in his possession, together with his estimation of their value. Not only do these catalogues provide an important insight into the type of material he considered worth collecting but they also point towards the fact that he functioned as a book-dealer. The bilingual nature of these catalogues, and the large number of books in the English language they contained, challenge the argument first put forward by Daniel Corkery in the 1920s that the worlds of the Gaelic-speaking Irish and the English-speaking Protestant élite were divided from one another with little interaction between them, and Joep Leerssen's contention more recently that Gaelic Ireland was isolated from print culture in English.","PeriodicalId":43075,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY SECTION C-ARCHAEOLOGY CELTIC STUDIES HISTORY LINGUISTICS LITERATURE","volume":"138 1","pages":"239 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74723605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
