Edmund Southworth writes:
‘The rich archaeology of the Isle of Man forms an important part of its cultural heritage. Not surprisingly there are similarities to the material cultures of its neighbours around the Irish Sea. Indeed, the island is visible to them and the average 30-mile sea journey was well within the range of most sea-faring cultures over the last 10,000 years. But the fusion and interaction between these communities over time has given much Manx archaeology a unique twist.’
Reading Context helps IHBC members develop their skills across all of the IHBC’s Areas of Competence, and as such offers a critical baseline in Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
