This talk focuses on archaeological methods and practices; what archaeologists do and how they do it.
December 2018 saw the publication of another massive Rubicon project which was excavated during the road building programme in Ireland during the noughties. The Mullaghmast project was part of the M9 motorway project which connected Waterford and Dublin. Rubicon undertook the excavations on the section from just south of Carlow town to Kilcullen in County Kildare.The Mullamast site was the largest set piece excavation on the scheme and involved the excavation of a section of a deserted medieval village. At the height of the project we employed over 300 archaeologists on the project. The team came from all over the world with 18 languages spoken on site!
A survey team from Rubicon Heritage Services recently completed an historic building survey of a fascinating building on the banks of Loch Tay in Scotland. The survey consisted of measured drawings of the external elevations together with rectified photography.
Rubicon Heritage is delighted to have work included in the new Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) archaeological publication ‘Above and Below: The Archaeology of Roads and Light Rail’, which is available to buy from all good stockists and via the Wordwell website.
Our Cardiff team are delighted to have moved into new permanent premises this month at Ringside Business Park in Cardiff. The new facilities incorporate a shared office with a large general workshop area and on-site storage which will allow the team to carry out most of their post-excavation processing and analyses on the premises.
