Abstract
A provisional note on the incidence of coin-hoarding in Viking Age Ireland
Michael H Michael Dolley
Christopher Lynn
1 - 6
Critical analysis of R Hall's check list of Viking-age coin finds from Ireland (see 75/3368) indicates two distinct peaks of hoarding, in the second and third quarters of 10th century, and from the second quarter of 11th century right into 12th. A corresponding geographical grouping is discerned. The coin hoards thus provide contrasting evidence of the economic effects of the battles of Tara and of Clontarf. Numis Lit (N J M)
The composition of Irish Bronze Age cemeteries
Lawrence N W Flanagan
7 - 20
The cemetery at Cloughskelt (Down) contained a complete range of graves from totally cisted to totally uncisted. Extending the analysis to all recorded Irish BA cemeteries revealed that, of 223 cemeteries, 53% were cisted, 20% uncisted, 19% were mixed and 8% unknown. Further analysis suggests that an uncisted grave tradition was infiltrating one of cisted graves.
The occurrence of platinum as a trace element in Irish gold, comments on Hartmann's gold analyses
B G Scott
21 - 24
Attention is focused on the most controversial of Hartmann's groupings, PC, which he suggested had a Rhenish source. However, a 19th century account of the identification of platinum found associated with alluvial gold in Wicklow appears trustworthy. Further implications of this finding for Hartmann's results are outlined; hopes of a completely fresh analytical programme are however slim.
Further notes for users of radiocarbon dates, including a method for the analysis of a stratified sequence
R B Warner
25 - 44
Dates based on radiocarbon samples are subject to two sorts of error not included in quoted 'sampling errors': age-lapse (the time between the radiocarbon date of the sample and the death, or cutting, date of the whole of which the sample formed a part); and deposition-lapse (the time between the death of the sample and its deposition in the context in which it was discovered). A way of incorporating estimates of these errors into estimates of date and possible error is given. The technique is extended to deal with multiple samples. A summary of the likely importance of these sources of error for different materials is given. When samples are taken from within a stratigraphic sequence, dates from both above and below a context can refine the dating of that context. A way of doing this is suggested and illustrated. CO
The use of dendrochronology in nautical archaeology
A W Farrell
Mike G L Baillie
45 - 55
Dendrochronology may provide the best solution to the difficult problem of determining the place where an excavated ship was built. The long master chronologies now available for Ireland should at least help determine whether the ship was built in Ireland. Theoretical and practical considerations are discussed, particularly as regards cross-links with timber chronologies in other countries.
The dating of the Gortcorbies hearth

Remanent metal structures in corrosion products from an early medieval iron knife
B G Scott
61 - 64
A particularly informative occurrence of remanent and fossil structures was observed in a 14th century knife formed of two plates of carburized iron welded onto an iron core. Etching of the section revealed the fossil structure (corrosion replacement of the original structure) and remanent structure (eg. flecks of pearlite or ferrite identifiable in a corrosion matrix). Information can thus be obtained from apparently amorphous lumps of rust.
