Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
As the crannog evidence is somewhat unclear it seems likely that the domestic cat was introduced into Ireland during Roman Iron Age or earliest Christian times. On rural sites they were prized house pets (cf Pangur Bán), generally large and long-lived; but with the establishment of towns in the Viking period cats tended to be smaller and perhaps bred for their pelts, on into the med period. Faunal and literary evidence is cited. | |||||||
