Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Synthesises research carried out on the palaeoecology and archaeology of the Burren region of Co Clare in the 1980s and 1990s, notably the ongoing excavation of a farmstead site at Roughan Hill which has produced hollow-based arrowheads, thumbnail scrapers, Beaker pottery, sherds of coarse ware, a possible Food Vessel sherd, quernstone fragments and a range of other finds. The animal bone assemblage is dominated by cattle, but also includes bones of sheep/goat and pig. Other sites discussed include the Beaker settlement site excavated at Teeskagh and the mound walls making up the earliest of a three-phase field system at Sladoo, Ranagh, Ballyelly and Coolmeen. Concludes that the settlement evidence in the Burren suggests that humans were responsible for the loss of soil cover following the deforestation of the area from the earlier Neolithic period. | |||||||||||||||
