Tara – From the Past to the Future hosted by the UCD School of Archaeology will take place this weekend in the John Hume Institute for Global Irish Studies. Featuring forty papers by an international group of scholars, the symposium promises to be the most extensive review of the archaeology of Tara undertaken to date. It focuses on the data from the two excavation volumes but extends to a wider consideration of research undertaken at Tara over the past twenty years.
Late registrations will be accepted at the launch on Friday and on each day of the symposium. The cost, which includes lunch and snacks is
€140 – weekend
€70 – weekend student
€50 – day rate
€25 – day rate student
The symposium will be streamed live via the web and facilities are available for listeners to ask question via the symposium email address tara.symposium@ucd.ie. As the programme is compact, only a small proportion of questions will be relayed to the symposium auditorium.
