This is a lecture given by Paleecologist Gill Plunkett of Queen's University Belfast, hosted by the Ulster Archaeology Society on 25th January 2021. It outlines the history regarding Mike Baillie's proposal that the Greenland Ice Core chronology was incorrectly dated during, and prior to, the first millennium AD, and how he was ultimately proved correct. It then looks at how large volcanic euptions may (or may not) have affected societies of antiquity.
