Tara – From the Past to the Future
On Saturday, 28 March 2009, the UCD School of Archaeology hosted a meeting of those invited to contribute to the next Tara project, a collaborative discursive analysis of the archaeology of Tara as presented in the two earlier volumes and further revealed in other research since the early 1990s. Financed by seed funding from UCD Research, the assembly included authors from Ireland, England, Scotland, France and the US. The President of UCD, Dr. Hugh Brady, attended the first session of a day that was devoted to planning the nature, key themes and format of the interdisciplinary publication. Led by Professor Muiris O’Sullivan, the project brings together approximately forty authors from a number of countries. The papers will be read at a conference hosted in UCD (24-26 October 2009) and will be submitted for publication before the end of 2009.
