Within|Without: the archaeology of partitions

Saturday 18 October 2025

Edmund Burke Theatre, Trinity College, Dublin

Most archaeological sites and monuments contain boundaries—ditches, walls, fences or banks. Space on either side of such dividing features can have its own significance or meaning. As well as obvious physical divisions, conceptual and social divisions such as inclusion and exclusion, privacy or social standing can be more challenging to identify but are no less significant. This conference examines those socially and physically constructed partitions and the spaces they divide to offer insight into how they were used and what they meant to the people who used them.
