How archaelogy works
Our Archaeology Hall is dedicated to explaining how the past is revealed using the tools, techniques and technology available to the archaeologist. From spade work to laboratory experiments, the fascinating detective work is revealed side by side with some of the more interesting medieval artefacts uncovered during the excavation of the site of Tralee’s Dominican Priory.
