Emerging Scholars: Pits and Pots: Archaeology Collections in Derry, Northern Ireland In-Person
The city of Derry has occupied a central role in the sectarian conflicts of Northern Ireland. During the 1970s-80s, bombing associated with the “Troubles" exposed archaeological history of the city, which has been salvaged and studied. In this talk, Abigail Johnson, doctoral candidate in Anthropology at William & Mary, will describe the archaeology of Derry and explain what it tells us about several generations of Irish, English, and Scottish people who have made the city their home.
The Emerging Scholars Series is offered in partnership between the Graduate Center at William & Mary and the Williamsburg Regional Library. The series features W&M graduate students in talks hosted by the WRL intended to bring cutting-edge research to the local community.
