| Abstract: |
From the Cambrians' Easter Conference, 1968, E G Bowen (pp 13-28) illustrates the Irish Sea as a "centre of influence and activity" in many past periods. M Herity (29-37) discusses occupation sites and burials from Mesolithic to Bronze Age times. H N Savory s topic (38-49) is lhe later prehistoric migrations across the Irish Sea, using the evidence of BA and EIA pottery and metalwork. M J O Kelly (50-54) considers the problems, including terminology, of Irish ringforts (Late Neolithic to post-medieval). For the Dark Ages Leslie Alcock (55-65) finds only superficial similarities in material culture on both sides of the Irish Sea, while Nora K Chadwick (66-77) affirms a close and long-standing unity of literary culture. The contribution of Celtic Christianity to the English church is brought out by R W D Fenn (78-85), and P H Sawyer (86-92) traces Viking influences on the Irish Sea lands. W Gwyn Thomas, examining medieval church building in Wales (93-7) finds little or no evidence of influences crossing the Irish Sea in either direction. The last two papers, on vernacular architecture, are by C O Danachair (98-107) on Irish farmhouses and T M Owen (108-15) on Welsh social aspects. |
