Abstract
The end of the Irish Bronze Age
Timothy C Champion
17 - 24
The conventional date of 3rd century BC for the end of the Late Bronze Age in Ireland is submitted to rigorous methodological enquiry. Strictly, the term Late Bronze Age should relate only to a developmental stage in the bronze industry, not to a postulated way of life. Dating of isolated objects is very hazardous and even hoards can only be given a terminus post quem. In the absence of any compelling reason to invoke cultural lag for Ireland in 1st millennium BC, it is at least arguable that the Bronze Age there extended no later than 7th century BC; but we now need a series of contexts demonstrating the general supersession of bronze by iron, the only true criterion for the end of the LBA.
Some medieval Thomond tomb-sculpture; lost, found and imaginary
Peter Harbison
29 - 36
The lost effigy of a 15th century bishop (St Mary's Cathedral, Limerick) is known only from a 17th century MS drawing; two early 14th century knights' effigies from Dysert O'Dea (Clare) and Hospital (Limerick) are newly described, as is a missing ?mitred head from a canopy tomb at Killinaboy (Clare); and doubt is cast on the authenticity of the supposed Norman tomb-surrounds at Hospital, known only from two early 19th century prints which may have been intended to bolster up a genealogy.
A late medieval casket from Knockmore, Co Clare
Etienne Rynne
37 - 40
OS 6-in map 48. The casket, found in a bog forty years ago, is the only Irish example so far of a type well known in Britain and Europe from 13th-17th centuries. It is of wood (yew), c 37cm x 10 x 10, bound and decorated with bronze strips and fitted with bronze handle and lock-casing.
