reviews the suggestion that Ireland's earliest `passage' tombs may have been built by immigrants from southern Brittany. Comparative evidence relating to similar structures along the Atlantic coast of Britain is discussed, and a possible reason for this hypothetical northward maritime `diaspora' explored

discusses the impact of radiocarbon dating on the chronology of megalithic monuments in western Europe, and in particular the very early dates obtained for Carrowmore and some Breton sites

considers the patterning of human skeletal material, animal bones and artefacts across the British and Irish Mesolithic and Neolithic landscape, suggesting that rather than depending on standard social theory for interpretations, archaeologists should `expect the unexpected'

considers the interrelation between the outline and structure of Irish megalithic tombs and the interred skeletal material, and its possible social, ideological and ritual implications
