Welcome to the Amplify Archaeology Podcast. This podcast series seeks to introduce you to some of the key themes and exciting new projects in Irish archaeology. We will feature a series of interviews with a number of Ireland’s archaeologists and experts to gain new insights into life in the past, the key sites, places and periods and the practice of Irish Archaeology. In this series you'll hear news from the trenches of exciting excavations and discussions with experts who answer questions like; where did the first hunter gatherers come from? Who built passage tombs? What did people eat in the past? We'll also discuss the practice of archaeology, to show how we use scientific techniques to reconstruct past environments, how groups can work together on collaborative community projects, and how we tell the story of Ireland through its material culture.

    Community Archaeology at St Anne's Park – Amplify Archaeology Podcast

    An elegant historic house, once owned by the famous Guinness Family, proudly stood in part of what is now known as St Anne’s Park. The building was destroyed by fire in the 1940s, before being completely demolished in the 1960s. However, a dynamic community archaeology project has been underway to help to uncover its story. The dig includes members of the local community who work alongside experienced archaeologists. The preservation of in-situ architectural features and deposits relating to the occupation, fire and demolition of the structure ensures the opportunity for volunteers to engage with tangible archaeological material as well as assess the phases of the structural development and ultimate demise of the house. Now in its fourth year, the Saint Anne’s Park Community Archaeology Programme was launched in 2021 as a partnership project under the Dublin City Strategic Heritage Plan. It is a collaboration between DCC Parks Biodiversity and Landscape Services and the Archaeology and Heritage Sections of the Planning and Property Development Department. The programme is partially funded by the Heritage Council and the Creative Ireland Programme, and has been delivered by Archaeology and Built Heritage Ltd. James leads us through the story of the lost house, as we discuss the practice of community archaeology, wellbeing in heritage and more. So let’s dig into the story of community archaeology in St Anne’s Park in this episode of Amplify Archaeology Podcast!
