Abstract:
The recent development of new techniques of spatial analysis aids the understanding of social and ritual organization in prehistoric societies, in this case Irish megalithic 'tombs'. The court cairns can be shown to have been succeeded by the passage graves and to have different spatial distributions, and it is suggested that a segmentary society changed into a chiefdom society in the middle to late Neolithic. It can be further shown that within the ritual sub-system of the society there would seem to have been a more pronounced hierarchial structure. Au(adp)
