This two week credited summer school module gives students a hands-on orientation of archaeological field techniques and field anthropology on a holistic research project entitled the Monastic and Medieval Midlands. The module forms part of a program that investigates both the early medieval monasteries and their associated later medieval religions houses and castles. The program is predominantly focused on non-invasive archaeological investigations such as geophysical surveys, graveyard surveys, building surveys, historical research and mapping, post-excavation lab-work, folklore recording etc. However, excavation skills are a key part of the module, with the overall program also including excavation at select sites based on the demands of community partners in individual seasons. See https://iafs.ie/field-anthropology-summer/ for more details.
