Ongoing 2010: The Munster Plantation Project
1. The Blackwater Valley Project is currently examining the architectural impact of the fortified/plantation houses in the Blackwater valley region of North Cork an 1580-1650. The project includes several integrated components, archaeological and archival research, and education.2. Ongoing research by Joe Nunan will contribute to further archaeological understanding of Plantation Munster through an analysis of the evolving landscape controls within the region and an examination of Undertaker identity. A multidisciplinary approach will be taken using, archaeological, historical, cartographic, and ethnographic evidence to piece together as comprehensively a picture of the complex nature of colonial settlement in Munster. This methodology will facilitate an archaeological examination of the various dynamics at play in that landscape, and will allow for a more appropriate understanding of the lives of people who lived within the Plantation region during the period 1580-1680.
