These videos are so 🔥
Thank you :D
For someone just getting involved with community archaeology, these videos are very helpful. A couple of questions...if you have a long feature somewhat variable feature like a ditch, would it ever deliberately be broken down into sections, so each section has its own contest number and cut sheet? Also, I am surprised that the numbers of any photos taken of the feature are not recorded on the sheet...I know they will be in the digital photo register, but I would have thought it would have been helpful to recorded them of the sheets as well?
Wonderful to hear this has been a help to you Peter. There is a standard practice that we teach but every site is unique, if you come across a situation that calls for a different approach you would be best to ask your on site supervisor. Also, all data is recorded on site to then be converted into a digital register in post-ex. If any photos are mislabeled in the register, the photo itself should be good enough to make out the North arrow and location details. I hope this was of some help. All the best, IAFS.
great work guys and girls
Thank you @slaneyside, a lot of people did a lot of great work 😊
Very well taught. TY
This is my heritage! Oh my goodness! My granddad was a Carrigg. My mom told me about the isle of Carrigg when I was a little girl! This is so exciting
this was very interesting, i've been starting to get into osteology lately and im thinking about taking a course on it in college to see if i like it
Can I get any scholarships or funding for this course?
Hello Khrieneituo, if you want to email us on [email protected] we can be of further assistance, thank you.

Very interesting...i am not an archaeologist but have volunteered on a few digs and love these presentations to better understand what's going on and why...
Great to hear you find the videos useful Peter, thank you for saying so. What digs have you volunteered on in the past?
@@IrishHeritageSchool The first was helping a photographer at a dig at Whixal Moss in Shropshire, then on a big near Broadway, Evesham on a proposed housing development about 8 or 10 years ago, and finally most recently at the Rossett Villa dig near Burton in North East Wales the summer before last. Sadly I could only do a few days due to work and holiday commitments, but it was great to see the villa foundations emerge from the ground, plus two other smaller buildings, which they weren't entirely sure about at the time. I am hoping to volunteer again next summer if further excavations go a head...
@@peterevans8194 wow you have worked at a few sites, you must have seen a lot of roman settlement evidence!
@@IrishHeritageSchool best by far was the dig at Burton/Rossett Villa... somebody did a video on it kzread.info/dash/bejne/q5p8p9abl8qTlKg.html
Excellent! Will the 2022 Heritage Week presentations at Seirkieran be made available for viewing?
Thank you OssoryOverSeas! They will indeed. If you are subscribed to this channel, you will receive a notification when they are available to watch. Thank you for getting in touch! 😊
They are available as of today. You can find them on our 'Monastic Midlands' playlist, enjoy! 😊
@@IrishHeritageSchool THANK YOU!
Many many thanks!!
Glad it helped!
Amazing video, such excellent learning.
Glad you liked it!
Pray for us
These videos are so well done, I really hope they reach a wide audience. I certainly appreciate them!
Thank you Kendall, your very kind :) We hope others appreciate them as much as you do - hopefully people are learning from them in homes and schools around Ireland and hopefully other countries too!! Can I ask which is your favourite one?
@@IrishHeritageSchool I'm particularly interested in videos of experimental archaeology, I find it really fascinating what can be learned about ancient practices by performing them ourselves, it fills in so many details I think that can be missed when just engaging with the evidence still left rather than recreating the process as a whole. Also I live on the Oregon coast, so you've already reached the other side of the world!

Liberal arts....🤢🤮
i guess im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the login password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Mauricio Marvin instablaster :)
@Ledger Adan thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Ledger Adan It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Mauricio Marvin Glad I could help :)
Sounds a bit like the Ulster Folk Park in Omagh. Closed about 20(?) years ago. But they built the site so well that the round tower, rath and a planation town are still there. Can see it on Google maps.
would the feature in the wood trench be a Lazy Bed by any chance?
Thanks for the comments and compliments Neville. Yes we do think it is a lazy bed. Just in terms of information the unauthorised use of metal detectors to look for archaeological objects, which is the context we were referring to at Carrick, is against the law in Ireland. Archaeological objects may only be searched for under license; good information is here if you need it - www.museum.ie/The-Collections/Metal-Detecting-in-Ireland-The-Law. Make sure to call by the site some time. Thanks, Denis.
@@denisshine3957 I would love to call and see it and even help out if that were possible?
@@nevilledoyle9849 Hello again Neville. We have a community dig this summer. Email [email protected] and we will send along the details.
Excellent work well done. Just one inaccurate point you made Metal Detecting is not illegal, very misleading, so maybe just correct that statement on a future video maybe, but again fantastic work.
Pray for us
I was hoping for more on what was discovered so far. Would love to help with this.
