Dr Alison Sheridan (National Museums Scotland) and Professor Gabriel Cooney (University College Dublin) have an article, soon to be released, entitled ‘The Boyne to Brodgar initiative: understanding – and preserving, presenting and raising awareness of – Neolithic monuments and the people who built and used them in Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man’. It will appear in the spring 2016 edition of the Journal of Irish Archaeology but you don’t have to wait until then to discover the main research questions. The Editor of JIA, Carleton Jones, and the publisher, Nick Maxwell, have kindly given permission to reproduce part of the article here. Enjoy!
