“…Such motif pieces are common on sites of the Viking period and earlier in Ireland(cf O'Meadhra 1979; 1987; 1987a) but rare in Britain, the only non-Viking examples in Scotland being those from Dunadd, Argyll, and one from Dervaig, Mull(Laing 1997, 128). They are well represented on monastic sites in Ireland, notably Nendrum, County Down(Lawlor 1925), and in such cases are assumed to be trial designs for ornamental work in metalwork and other media. The designs can be compared with some of those in the King's Cave, Arran(Laing 1997, 135-8), and to those from Tintagel, Cornwall(Laing 1997, 134), as well as to a series of medieval graffiti in England(Pritchard 1967, 32-7 especially, where the continuing use of interlace is discussed).There is evidence of metal-working.…”

From Chiefdom to State in Early Ireland

This book tracks the development of social complexity in Ireland from the late prehistoric period into the Middle Ages. Using a range of methods and techniques, particularly data from settlement patterns, D. Blair Gibson demonstrates how Ireland evolved from constellations of chiefdoms into a political entity bearing the characteristics of a rudimentary state. This book argues that Early Medieval Ireland' s highly complex political systems should be viewed as amalgams of chiefdoms with democratic procedures for choosing leaders rather than as kingdoms. Gibson explores how these chiefdom confederacies eventually transformed into recognizable states over a period of 1,400 years. D. Blair Gibson is a professor in the Department of Anthropology at El Camino College and the director of the college' s Anthropology Museum. He has published articles in a number of journals, including the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology and the Proceedings of the Harvard Celtic Colloquium. He is the editor of two books, Tribe and Polity in Late Prehistoric Europe (with Michael Geselowitz) and Celtic Chiefdom, Celtic State (with Bettina Arnold).
