Ancient Ireland: Life Before the Celts

by Laurence Flanagan

A two stage approach is taken to exploring the archaeology and history of ancient Ireland. Laurence Flanagan takes us on a tour through the archaeology of the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age, before outlining his ideas on what this evidence tells us about the social history of prehistoric Ireland. Both expected and unusual topics are considered, including the organisation of society and the family, violence and warfare, technology and production, transport, subsistence, health and nutrition, art, music, religion, hospitality and socialising. A good, informative study that is written for a non-specialist audience and is highly readable without being patronising. 264p, b/w figs, 14 b/w pls (Gill & Macmillan 1998, Pb 2000)
