The Past Beneath Our Feet: Opening Reception
Thomas Finan’s 20 Years Excavating in Ireland
History permeates every corner of our world, often concealed within the layers of soil beneath our feet. As archaelogical endeavors persistently excavate and scrutinize these concealed depths, novel discoveries continously reshape and refine our comprehension of the past.
The pervasive nature of history asserts its presence in numerous forms, from minute artifacts to expansive ruins, each bearing witness to bygone eras. Through meticulous excavation and rigorous analysis, archaeologists unearth artifacts that serve as portals to the past, elucidating cultural practices, societal structures, and technological advancements that otherwise would be lost.
“The Past Beneath Our Feet” presents the findings of Thomas Finan, Ph.D.,’s two decades of exploration in Ireland. SLUMA invites you to discover these artifacts for yourself and ignite your curiosity about the world that came before us.
