Emerging Scholars: Pits and Pots: Archaeology Collections in Derry, Northern Ireland (WL)

The city of Derry, Northern Ireland has a long, fraught history as a focal point in sectarian conflicts. During the 1970s-80s, bombing campaigns 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 archaeological record from 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.
