Archaeology celebrates our Centenary Year.
The appointment in 1909 of Sir Bertram Windle as Professor of Archaeology marked the establishment of a new academic discipline in University College Cork. The Department has grown steadily over the past century to become one of the leading teaching and research bodies in Irish archaeology. We are marking our centenary with a series of evening lectures, to be delivered by leading international archaeologists on topics connected to the research interests of the Department. A public conference on the origins of Cork city will be held in April, with a photographic exhibition in October on archaeological excavations conducted by UCC over the past century. Members of the public, staff and students of UCC are invited to attend these free events, details of which are available on our web-site
