Whilst archaeology's pivotal position in modern Irish heritage tourism is acknowledged, it is argued that the presentation and managment of archaeology renders it intangible, static and 'otherworldly'.
For historians of archaeology, the analysis of time is frequently assimilated into the examination of different 'chronologies' and the presentation of the development of dating techniques.
The broader remit of this research seeks to re-draw experimental archaeology as a practice that is understood for its 'interpretative' character rather than as narrowly 'scientific' as conventionally portrayed.

There are four places of worship - the Roman Catholic Church (Church of the Assumption), the Church of Ireland (St. Catherine's), the Methodist and the Presbyterian Church.
In 1900 the old Church, which had now withstood the ravages of a century, was considered unsafe for public worship.
The roof had begun to show signs of sagging, and the overhanging ceiling gave indications of tumbling down, and Father Callary, the present venerated pastor, entertained grave fears lest it should collapse on the congregation some Sunday.

 Philistines1
In fact, the Philistine problem in Palestine was 'discovered' by archaeologists who had worked mainly in Cretan-Aegean archaeology (Welch, 1900; Thiersch, 1908).
Mackenzie, in particular, investigated the problem during his excavations at Beth Shemesh in 1911-1912, he determined correctly the stratigraphic relationship of the pottery and defined it as "Philistine," and as related to the cultures of the Aegean world.
Again this doesn't seem to ring warning bells as it did with Aharoni, that something is terribly wrong with the scenario that a strange people arrived in the area at the beginning of the Iron Age.
