Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This paper starts by outlining the history of stone axe studies in Ireland, from their antiquarian beginnings to 1990. It then offers a critical review of the current state of knowledge concerning the numbers, distribution, findspot contexts, morphology, size, associated finds, dating and raw materials of stone axes. Having proposed an agenda for future research, the paper ends by introducing the Irish Stone Axe Project -- the major programme of database creation and petrological identification, funded by the National Heritage Council, currently being undertaken by Gabriel Cooney and Eoin Grogan. Includes `Appendix 1: the incidence of axes in funerary and other `ceremonial' contexts in Neolithic and Bronze Age Ireland' (406--8), `Appendix 2: list of porcellanite artefacts which have come to light since 1986 (or were omitted from the 1986 corpus)' (408--10), and `Appendix 3: details of imported axes in Ireland' (411) (see also 93/184). | |||||
