In a nutshell, it was probably not as violent as.
podcast-host
as you might think, but far more difficult in every other way imaginable.
podcast-host
Over the course of the next 40 minutes or so, Eileen talks you through how people lived and the many, many ways in which they died.
podcast-host
Now this show is always worth a re-listen and if you haven't heard it before, you're in for a treat.
podcast-host
I should say though, it's probably not suitable for younger listeners.

And before we start, I want to flag that there'll be no Brothers in Pain.
podcast-host
That's the series on the global history of the Irish Revolution that comes out on Fridays.
podcast-host
That won't be out this Friday, but I am hoping normal service will be restored next week.

And finally, before we start, I do want to say thank you so much to everyone.

on Patreon for the kind words when I mentioned I was in hospital.

Now this episode explores what life in the Middle Ages was like, but that word the Middle Ages can mean very different things to different people.
podcast-host
So I began my conversation with Eileen by asking her to define what we mean when we say the Middle Ages.
podcast-host
Eileen is going to share a lot of detail about day-to-day life based around an excavation at Ranla outside Roscommon Town.
podcast-host
Now this site had been lost for centuries, but archaeologists uncovered it during road works.
podcast-host
Eileen explains now how it was rediscovered.
podcast-host
The first step after its rediscovery was an excavation.
podcast-host
Eileen is going to explain now what the archaeologists found, but it's important to acknowledge the large team involved in the project at this point.
podcast-host
So the excavations were directed by Shane Delaney from Irish Archaeological Consultancy, and Martin Jones was the project manager for Transport Infrastructure Ireland, who funded the project with Roscommon County Council.
podcast-host
Eileen now takes up the story explaining how they found a massive array of artifacts, basically the remains of a pretty busy medieval settlement.
