Discussions around violence can often render the past incomprehensible, however Eileen was keen to point out that love, care and emotion was also evident in the burials at Ranala.

My final question was about childhood.
podcast-host
Traditionally, it was thought that parents maintained a distant relationship with their children in the medieval period because mortality rates were so high.
podcast-host
Eileen pointed out, however, she found evidence of great care and attachment in the graves of young people at Ranla.
podcast-host
I found that conversation absolutely absorbing.
podcast-host
My questions were all based around the publication Russ Common's Forgotten Cemetery excavation results at Ranala revealed.
podcast-host
It's available online and it's free, and also I will say it's a really accessible text, you don't need to be an expert to read it at all.
podcast-host
I'd strongly recommend checking it out and finding out more about what we talked about today.
podcast-host
I've links to that and the socials for Queen's University Belfast School of Natural and Built Environment in the show notes as well.
podcast-host
Finally, I just want to thank Eileen for being so generous with her time.
podcast-host
Until next week, Slawn.
podcast-host
Dublin is a city famous for its history, its Georgian streets, medieval cathedrals, the castle, and of course its revolutionary past.
podcast-host
But beneath all this lies another story, one that's often overlooked, and that is that Dublin is before anything else a port city.
podcast-host
Nearly 1200 years ago, the Vikings established a settlement on the banks of the River Liffey, and ever since the history of Dublin has been forged by its relationship to the sea.
podcast-host
The port became the place where Ireland met the wider world.
podcast-host
But its history is not just a story of commerce.
podcast-host
Its global connections saw the port become entangled with the slave trade, military occupation, the Great Hunger, Revolution, and the First World War.
podcast-host
Yeah.
podcast-host
It also witnessed a constant battle against nature.
podcast-host
In this episode, recorded on the Great South Wall, I'm joined by Lar Joy to explore the extraordinary history of the city's great port.
