ROUNDWOOD AND DISTRICT HISTORICAL AND FOLKLORE SOCIETY
Talk by Dr Neil Carlin, Dept of Archaeology, UCD. Tuesday, November 1, at 8 p.m. in Roundwood Parish Hall. The title of the talk is ‘People, Places and Things: the life stories of Beaker polypod bowls in Ireland’. In this paper, Dr Carlin will discuss the archaeological evidence for the Beaker tradition, polypod bowls that have been found in Ireland, particularly in the east of the island in Meath and South Dublin. These bowls form part of an assemblage of pots known as Beakers that were used across Europe around 2500 BC.Dr Carlin will share the story of how his research into the use of these pots inspired a New Zealand ceramic artist, to create a sculpture which he helped destroy at a public ceremony in Dublin in 2014. This talk will appeal to the wider public who may not know much at all about archaeology or the specific topic as well as people with much more knowledge of the subject.
All are welcome – The talk is open to the general public as well as society members. An entrance fee of €3 is payable at the door.
