Conor McHale was born in Dublin in 1969. Shortly before leaving school, he decided he would become an archaeologist. This decision caused his father to roar with laughter. It took him over ten years working in Irish archaeology to realise what the joke was. He lives in Dublin with his wife, Susannah, and their son, Oscar. He loves Rembrandt, hates celery and often loses his keys.

a great book for the younger archaeologist … images are accurate and portray real sites and artefacts. This would make an excellent present for a young relative or for an older archaeologist who wants to relax
