Landscapes of Neolithic Ireland

by Gabriel Cooney

For many years studies of Neolithic Ireland have been centered around single site histories and outdated ideas or theories which were devised to explain prehistoric sequences elsewhere, in Britain or other parts of western Europe. Gabriel Cooney emphasises that Ireland is different and its artefacts and archaeological sequences should be studied in true context. The period between 4000 and 2500 BC saw a number of major changes taking place in terms of subsistence, domestic and ritual buildings, ritual and belief systems. Cooney explores these changes using the study of landscapes as a way of placing people and objects in time and space. A well written book which we highly recommend.276p, b/w figs and pls (Routledge 1999)
