Item Remembering lived experiences of dark pasts(Routledge, 2024-06-28) McAtackney, Laura; Kwasnicka, Olga; Hannan, Leonie; Purdue, OlwenInstitutions that specifically incarcerated girls and women – for a variety of moralistic and pragmatic reasons – were operational in Ireland until relatively recently, with the last Magdalene laundry closing in the 1990s. Their recent operation means we need to carefully consider what we know about them and how that knowledge can be communicated to a wider public as difficult heritage. Of the ten Magdalene laundries that operated in post-independence Republic of Ireland, three were still operating after 1990 (High Park, Donnybrook and Sean MacDermott Street; all in Dublin), with Sean MacDermott Street finally closing in 1996. Of the Magdalene laundries that survived into the new state of Northern Ireland, three remained in operation until the early 1980s (Belfast, Derry and Newry), with Marianvale outside Newry finally closing in 1984. One important repercussion of this recent operation in terms of how we remember – and transmit memory as difficult heritage – is the significant number of victims and survivors who can relate their experiences firsthand. This chapter argues that, unlike official reports, we must focus on lived experience rather than formal, institutional histories as the baseline of our knowledge as we attempt to ethically remember this difficult past.Item Establishing a lithostratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental framework for the investigation of vibracores from the southern North Sea(Archaeopress Publishing Ltd, 2022-08) Bates, Martin; Gearey, Ben; Hill, Tom; Smith, David; Whittaker , John; Kavanagh, ErinPivotal to the aims and associated objectives of the Lost Frontiers project, two phases of fieldwork in the southern North Sea resulted in the recovery of 78 cores varying in length from less than 1m to greater than 5m. These cores span a wide geographic space and many topographic locations from the top of the Doggerbank to a submerged palaeovalley system off the Norfolk coast (Figure 7.1). Additionally, some cores targeted geomorphological saddles between drowned valleys and the interfluves between palaeovalley systems, while others were taken on the margins of assumed submerged lakes or estuaries. This paper sets out our methodology and rationale for the development of a lithostratigraphic and subsequent multiproxy palaeoenvironmental analytical workflow, for the assessment and analysis of cores deemed to be of greatest potential to reconstruct the landscape evolution of Doggerland. Such investigations assisted in the initial provision of first order geological and geomorphological settings for the recovered cores, to guide the subsequent identification of the most appropriate proxy assessments to be applied.Item Old Norse ‘Papar’ names in N. and W.
