Dig into the Story of Viking Age Ireland in Amplify Archaeology Podcast Episode 29 with Dr Rebecca Boyd
In the year AD 795, Ireland’s Viking Age begins with a bloody raid on our coastal monasteries. Over the centuries, the Vikings changed from raiders to traders, and developed our first true urban centres. Their legacy is all around us today, especially if you live in one of their towns – like Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Limerick or Wexford. In this episode of Amplify Archaeology Podcast, Neil had the opportunity to discuss life in Viking Age Ireland with Dr Rebecca Boyd.
Rebecca has been carrying fascinating research looking at the architectural evidence from the Viking excavations of Dublin, Cork and Waterford to tell a new story about the beginnings of urbanism in Ireland. The chat ranges from an overview of the Viking Age to the development of our towns, what a typical Viking house would have been like to life in 10th century Dublin. I hope you enjoy the episode!
