Abstract
Innovation diffusion in Ireland: an historical case study
Desmond McCourt
1 - 19
A survey of some 18th and 19th century houses in the north of Ireland revealed two areas of building tradition: in the Donegal peninsula the lean-to or outshot tradition predominates; to the east, houses have a projecting jamb or small wing. The division corresponds to a highland/lowland break, but the frontier was not static, and the outshot distribution has contracted to match the expansion of the jamb houses. The development is related to the movement of people into the Irish areas, and it is suggested that the jamb was regarded as socially superior, and involved a change in farming practice away from the use of longhouses.

Roman material from Ireland: a reconsideration
J D Bateson
21 - 97
For the first time, all 90 numismatic and 50 non-numismatic finds have been examined critically to see if the material did in fact reach Ireland during the Roman period. As a result only 16 coin-finds and 30 non-coin finds are accepted. These appear to have arrived in Ireland during the 1st and 2nd centuries and 4th to early 5th centuries. For the earlier grouping there is an east- and north-coast distribution which, in the later period, is supplemented by a southern inland distribution (perhaps connected with the Desi colonisation of Wales). Various explanations for the individual finds are discussed. Au(adp)
The excavation of a Neolithic burial mound at Jerpoint West, Co Kilkenny
M Fitz G Ryan
107 - 127
S 572414. A circular mound c 24m across covered a polygonal cist which contained a cremation and an unburnt burial accompanied by decorated pottery of Late Neolithic character, plain W Neolithic pottery, a polished bone pin and a portion of a flint leaf-shaped arrowhead. The mound, possibly erected in two stages, comprised a central core of stones covered by soil and turves containing thin layers of stone. A small kerb of unsupportive stone flags defined the mound, and radially-set stones may have assisted in planning its building. Au(adp)
The Encrusted Urn in Ireland
Rhoda M Kavanagh
507 - 617
Description, illustration and discussion of all 98 Irish Encrusted Urns including drawings of associated non-pottery finds. The distribution, form and associations show that Encrusted Urns emerged in a milieu in which the Food Vessel was prominent. A significant cultural change (?introduced from Britain) is deduced on the basis of the new burial rite (cremated bones placed in an inverted vessel), the distinctive vessel and the clearly-defined distribution.

Native pottery in early historic Ireland
Michael Ryan
619 - 645
This study, with catalogue, of a first-millennium AD type of native pottery describes the ware, defines its distribution and suggests a tentative sequence of development from plain, simple vessels probably derived from local Iron Age ceramics, to decorated vessels. A higher incidence of decorated wares is also noted on later sites. Possibly related material in SW Britain is discussed and Hebridean Iron Age pottery dismissed as irrelevant to this study. Household use is predominant, heavy sooting of many vessels indicating their use for cooking. Au(adp)
