Portalis Project
Manage episode 379388446 series 3287274
For the first episode of the new series, we’re talking about the Portalis pilot project, led by SETU Humanities, which finished up in September 2023. Portalis mapped the story of the earliest connections between Ireland and Wales, dating back to the Mesolithic period (~10,000 years ago). The project explored how those first settlers adapted to their surroundings in order to survive and sought to understand whether there are any parallels with how we can adapt to climate change now.
Rob O’Connor spoke with project members Denise O’Meara and Jody Power in studio, while also including a conversation with geoarchaeology specialist Joseph Shuldenrein in New York.
