The Archaeology of Insurrection: St Stephen’s Green, 1916

The genesis of what became the Landscapes of Revolution Project came in the early 2000s, when an initial archaeological analysis of the potential archaeology of the 1916 Rising in and around St. Stephen’s Green was conducted. It resulted in a brief article in the Spring 2006 issue of Archaeology Ireland magazine, the first in Ireland to consider the archaeological potential of a site from Ireland’s revolutionary decade. Archaeology Ireland and Wordwell have kindly given permission for the article to be shared on the site; you can read it by clicking on this link
