Places For The Living, Places For The Dead - With James Eogan & James Hession

This week's episode features James Eogan & James Hession. They spoke to us ahead of the book launch of the incredible "Places For The Living Place For The Dead - Archaeological discoveries on the N25 New Ross Bypass". In this episode, they discussed the archaeological significance of the new Ross Bypass for the N25, with a focus on the area's medieval history and the importance of minimizing the impact of infrastructure projects on archaeological sites. They also explored the findings from the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods in Ireland, as well as the archaeological evidence of Bronze Age burials. Lastly, they highlighted the discovery of a well-preserved late medieval farmstead and the potential insights it offers into the daily lives of ordinary people during this period.
