UCD archeologist Professor Gabriel Cooney explains how prehistoric art, engineering and architecture are combined in Newgrange and the Boyne Valley to reveal how people lived in this early agricultural society. In the clip, Gabriel refers to an aerial image of the Boyne Valley, taken using LiDAR (laser scanning) technology. Archeology is one of the subjects available through the BA Arts programme at University College Dublin.
