- This book is one of the principal outputs of the international research project ‘Making Christian Landscapes’, funded by the Heritage Council (Ireland) through an Irish National Strategic Archaeological Research (INSTAR) grant (ref. 16716/AR01049). The PI was Tomás Ó Carragáin (University College Cork) and Sam Turner was International Co-Investigator, with responsibility for aspects of the project methodology, analysis (particularly international context) and dissemination. The project was designed as a collaboration between academic and commercial archaeologists and historians. Its aim was to demonstrate the potential of an interdisciplinary landscape approach to illuminate the process of Christianisation in Ireland and neighbouring regions.
The project’s results were presented at an international conference in Cork in 2012 which included papers from the project team and additional invited participants (the conference was co-organised by Turner and Ó Carragáin with sponsorship from the Heritage Council and the Society for Church Archaeology). Key results from the project and the conference are presented in the 20 papers in this volume, which was co-edited by Turner and Ó Carragáin. Turner’s written contributions to the volume include the introduction ‘Making Christian Landscapes in the Early Medieval Atlantic World’ (co-authored with Ó Carragáin), which introduces the main themes of the ‘Making Christian Landscapes’ project, together with a chapter based on research undertaken during the project on ‘The bones of the Northumbrian landscape: technologies of social change in the conversion period’ (co-authored with Chris Fowler, Newcastle University).
