Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The conventional date of 3rd century BC for the end of the Late Bronze Age in Ireland is submitted to rigorous methodological enquiry. Strictly, the term Late Bronze Age should relate only to a developmental stage in the bronze industry, not to a postulated way of life. Dating of isolated objects is very hazardous and even hoards can only be given a terminus post quem. In the absence of any compelling reason to invoke cultural lag for Ireland in 1st millennium BC, it is at least arguable that the Bronze Age there extended no later than 7th century BC; but we now need a series of contexts demonstrating the general supersession of bronze by iron, the only true criterion for the end of the LBA. | |||||||||
