Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Study of Irish thick-butted axes shows a strong Central European influence which can be related to finds associated with bell beakers. This influence comes through the thin-butted axe, one of several Central European innovations introduced during the Beaker period, among them halberds and tin-bronze alloys. These innovations made impact on an archaic industry producing thick-butted axes - an industry of which the affinities remain indefinite, but which are more likely to be with the Beaker culture than with other cultural complexes. Three phases of the Irish EBA are deduced: Phase 1, covering the earliest industry and the Central European innovations in the Beaker period; Phase 2, which covers the more general use of these innovations, and is roughly synchronous with the first phase of the Wessex culture in Southern England; Phase 3, synchronous with the second phase of the Wessex culture, is outside the scope of this paper.
