At the end of the sixteenth century, Munster experienced
a rapid transformation in its social, economic, cultural, and political development. The apparatus central to and driving
this change was the English settler, Religion and the English state. Ongoing research by Joe Nunan will contribute to further archaeological understanding of Plantation
Munster through an analysis of the evolving landscape
controls within the region and an examination of Undertaker identity. A multidisciplinary approach will be taken using, archaeological,
historical, cartographic, and ethnographic evidence to piece together as comprehensively a picture of the complex nature of
colonial settlement in Munster. This
methodology will facilitate an archaeological examination of the various dynamics at play
in that landscape, and will allow for a more appropriate understanding of the lives of people who lived within the Plantation
region during the period 1580-1680. |
