James Eogan @jameseogan.bsky.social · 28/05/2025A very good overview of the UAS's origins, work & personnel has also been uploaded 'The Urban Archaeological Survey: origins and legacy'. 👇 www.archaeology.ie/app/uploads/... It is a pity that it is uncredited & undated. 2/2archaeology.ie 000
James Eogan @jameseogan.bsky.social · 28/05/2025This is an excellent public service initiative👏. The Urban Archaeological Survey reports are known to be a really valuable resource by archaeologists, historians, geographers & planners. This now makes them much more readily accessible to citizens. 1/2 110
