Encounters, stories and connections: hunter-gatherer Ireland
This paper will consider the movements and journeys made by hunter-gatherers in and around the island of Ireland. Many of our understandings of the Mesolithic can be shown to be influenced by coloniality-specifically colonial attitudes to island populations of hunter-gatherers that cast them as isolated or impoverished. In place of these narratives, this paper will consider the ways in which stories create worlds and the encounters and connections that characterised hunter-gatherer Ireland. A new chronological framework for the period will be utilised to set Ireland in its appropriate European context.
Professor Graeme Warren, a specialist in the archaeology of hunter-gatherer communities, especially of Mesolithic Europe, is based at the UCD School of Archaeology. He is President of the International Society of Hunter-Gatherer Research.

That was superb, just brilliant!! Thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and have come away from the lecture with a deeper understanding and empathy for not only our ancient Irish past but with the Tasmanian People. How the lies and brutal destruction of the Tasmanian First peoples has always been a stain on the White settlement of Australia. To see how the very same broken ideas on island culture were projected on to Irish Ancient History was eye opening and at the same time not surprising. Thank you for bringing these excellent lectures to us, the public.
