As part of the City of Culture 2013 celebrations, the Society for Post- Medieval Archaeology and the Irish Post-Medieval Archaeology Group are hosting a joint conference within the historic walls of the city. The conference is intended to situate the 1613 granting of the city’s town charter within its broader historical context, while also considering the ways in which the early modern urban fabric continues to shape contemporary lives. The conference will feature a series of public workshops, a guided tour of the City Walls, field trips to nearby archaeological sites, and an academic paper programme, addressing aspects of the evolution, character, and continuing legacy of 16th through 18th century urbanisation within and well beyond Ireland and Britain.
