Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Much of N Ireland may have been inhabited by Mesolithic people during the 4th millennium and the Cretaceous outcrops along the NE coast of Ulster quite densely occupied. The view is taken here that the major features of the Neolithic were introduced by immigrants, who spread by land from the E coast to the S and the W of the already occupied Cretaceous region, and spread further westwards to N Connacht. In the Early Neolithic (later half of 4th millennium) these two kinds of community, native and recently immigrant, may have remained fairly detached. Court cairns including some in the far W may belong to this phase. The Middle Neolithic (?mostly within early 3rd millennium) should be marked by more or less complete acculturation of Mesolithic people. Variations and changes (the most spectacular being the cult of the passage grave) were probably a Late Neolithic introduction (early 3rd millennium), through seasonal contacts in which descendants of Mesolithic natives may have been prominent. Immigration at the end of the Late Neolithic may have been responsible for the wedge-shaped gallery graves. Au(abr) | |||||||||||||
