AIA Presents Lectures on Blackfriary SiteAIA Site Preservation award winner Stephen Mandal visited Boston last week to deliver two talks on the Blackfriary site in Trim, County Meath, Ireland. His lunchtime talk focused on the Cultural Heritage Amenity Town (CHAT) program, a new approach to community archaeology. In the evening he presented the excavation's findings on this Dominican monastery's role in the medieval town, its architecture, and bioarchaeological material. Learn more about Blackfriary here.
