How do you protect archaeology in a landscape that is also lived in, worked, and farmed every day?
This talk draws on the experience of the Farming Rathcroghan Project to explore the practical meeting point between archaeology and pastural farming, from drystone wall conservation to targeted works on earthen monuments. It examines the everyday and seasonal pressures that affect monuments, including weathering, erosion, livestock, machinery management and considers how conservation can be balanced. It also reflects on how further research and wider archaeological work across the region, including infrastructure-led investigations, can help place Rathcroghan in its broader context and inform future research. While also concentrating on stronger long-term community stewardship through engagement with local schools, the farmers of the future.
在人们每天生活、工作和耕作的土地上,如何保护考古遗址?
本次讲座将以拉思克罗根农业项目(Farming Rathcroghan Project)的经验为基础,探讨考古学与牧场农业的实际交汇点,涵盖从干砌石墙保护到土质遗迹的专项修复等各个方面。讲座将审视影响遗迹的日常和季节性压力,包括风化、侵蚀、牲畜放牧和机械管理等,并思考如何平衡保护工作。此外,讲座还将探讨如何通过进一步的研究和更广泛的区域考古工作(包括以基础设施为导向的调查),将拉思克罗根置于更广阔的背景下进行考察,并为未来的研究提供信息。讲座还将重点关注如何通过与当地学校(未来的农民)的合作,加强社区的长期管理。
