Foodways of Indigenous Ireland

In this episode, we dive into the complex history of Ireland's land management over the past 6,000 years, and the complex relationship between hunter gatherers and farming communities, paired with a massive climate shift and population decline. What can we learn from traditional land management techniques that are relevant to the world we live in today?   Sources:   "Climate change and hunter gatherers in Ireland: problems, potentials and pressing research questions", Graeme Warren   "Food Production, Processing and Foodways in Neolithic Ireland, Environmental Archaeology", Meriel McClatchie, Rick Schulting, Rowan McLaughlin, Sue Colledge, Amy Bogaard, Phil Barratt & Nicki Whitehouse (2019)   "Neolithic farming in north-western Europe: archaeobotanical evidence from Ireland", M.
