Wrenched from her mother at the age of four and sentenced to a life in captivity, Lolita the orca has spent more than half a century in a concrete tank, thousands of miles from the Pacific Ocean where she once swam free. Now, in a remarkable collaboration between those holding her captive and those who have long campaigned for her to be released, plans are afoot to return the “world’s loneliest orca” to her family’s side, to dive the deep again and share in her ageing mother’s twilight years. “I

World War II was a conflict that involved virtually every part of the world during 1939–45. The main combatants were the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) and the Allies (France, Great Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and China). It was the bloodiest conflict, as well as the largest war, in human history.

Archaeologists from University College Dublin have built a replica of a Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age house on the Belfield campus to better understand how humans lived at the time. Replica of 10,000 year old mesolithic dwelling built by UCD experimental archaeologists on campus [Credit: UCD] The circular dwelling, with a six-metre diameter, is based on archaeological evidence from a site at Mount Sandel in Northern Ireland which dates from 7900-7600BC – this site is the earliest known evidence of human settlement on the Island of Ireland. During the Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age humans made and used a variety of wooden and stone tools (including stone axes for carpentry), and lived a hunter gatherer lifestyle. “Our reconstruction of this Mesolithic house is part of the UCD Centre for Experimental Archaeology,” says Dr Graeme Warren, UCD School of Archaeology. The Mesolithic house is located on a site on the UCD Belfield campus set aside for Experimental Archaeology. “Through experimental archaeology we are working to better understand the past by engaging materially with the sorts of things that people did in the past. At this location we have completed stone working, flint tool production, we’ve made stone axes and fired pottery, and now we’ve built this Mesolithic house.” The structure will be left to decay so archaeologists can estimate how long this type of building lasted before early settlers decided to rebuild or move on. According to Dr Warren, this type of experimental archaeological work is important because it provides scientific information about the material worlds in which people lived in the past - information which isn’t available from the surviving archaeological materials alone. You can follow progress on the project on Dr Graeme Warren’s Blog.
