> Well, we've finally gotten around to 'going live' with the last

> of subject ranges from earliest human settlements in Ireland up to the
> end of the 19th century. The signup addresses are listed at the end of
> this mail should you be interested in subscribing.
> 
> The suite is divided into the following mail-lists:
> Stone Age Ireland (SAI)- all aspects of mesolithic and neolithic Irish
> archaeology including settlements, tool technology, evidences of
> trade, burial practices etc etc.
> 
> Bronze Age Ireland (BAI)- the archaeology of bronze age Ireland (no
> surprise there)... the same sort of scope as above really...
> 
> Iron Age Ireland (IAI)- the archaeology of Ireland, approximately
> 600BC to 500AD to allow for varying interpretations of when the iron
> age started (and ended). Currently *very* active.
> 
> Early Medieval Ireland (EMI)- all aspects of the archaeology and
> history of Ireland from about 400AD up to 1200AD, thus including the
> proto-historic, Viking Ireland & the Norman settlements as well as
> native historic culture. Also quite a busy list.
> 
> Late Gaelic Ireland (LGI)- arch & hist of Ireland of approximately
> 1000AD to 1700AD, thus overlapping with EMI slightly and allowing both
> to deal with the Norman settlements from different perspectives. This
> list also deals with the demise of the 'high kingship', early
> cartography, the development of towns, the Cromwellian wars, Ulster
> plantation etc etc.
> 
> Early Modern Ireland (E-Mod)- approximately from 1700AD to the 1890s.
> This includes Georgian Ireland, the 1798 and 1803 risings, the Great
> Hunger, the Fenians, birth of the 'Celtic revival', the GAA, Gaelic
> League etc etc... blah, blah... those interested in industrial
> archaeology and the history of Irish archaeology are particularly
> encouraged to participate...
> 
> In addition, two other lists exist...
> 
> Irish Archaeology (IrArch)- dealing with any and all aspects of
> archaeology in Ireland, a sort of catch-all forum where everything
> even vaguely relevant goes... as long as its civil, non-aggressive,
> non-offensive of course... Currently humming with activity...
> 
> Irish Settlement Studies (ISS)- everything from neolithic houses and
> hilltop enclosures to medieval rural settlement patterns to tower
> houses to early ecclesiastical settlements... up to Georgian Dublin,
> modern suburban housing planning, 'ribbon development' & 'bungalow
> blight'... whatever.
> 
> Currently, IAI, EMI and IrArch are very active, though the others
> (which are still only between one month and one week old) are rapidly
> inrcreasing in traffic. Topics are generally academically-oriented and
> all have developed a reputation for intelligent, civil discourse.
> 
> We have been continually surprised and encouraged by the volume of
> high-quality discussion this suite has become home to. We believe that
> these mailing lists, though they have their limitations of course, can
> help change the way Irish archaeology and history are discussed and
> studied, bringing together scholars, commercial archaeologists and
> enthusiastic amateurs alike from around the world. Some lateral
> expansion of the suite will take place over the coming year (and
> beyond), bringing together web sites, e-journals and possibly even
> off-line activities such as field-trips and lectures...
> 
> You are cordially invited to sign up and take part in the activities.
> 
> Thank you for your time and patience, and we look forward to meeting
> you online!
