The comprehensive journal - The Ulster Journal of Archaeology was originally founded in 1853. The current series (the third) was begun in 1938. It publishes information about Ulster's heritage and up-to-date reports of excavations as well as more general articles about Ireland and the Irish Sea Province which relate to Ulster, there are also shorter notes and book reviews. The whole range of archaeological subjects is covered: Prehistoric rock art, Bronze Age burials, Celtic ritual sites, Medieval settlements - in short the wealth of Ulster's archaeological remains.
Monthly lectures are held in the Queen's University of Belfast and cover a wide range of archaeological and related topics. All lectures are normally held at 8.00 pm in the Main Lecture theatre in the School of Geography, Archaeology and Palaeoecology, Elmwood Building in Elmwood Avenue.
