Maritime Ireland: Coastal Archaeology of an Island People

By Colin Breen and O'Sullivan

Ireland is an island in the Atlantic Ocean yet, while archaeologists, historians, and historical geographers have commonly accepted this island status, they have rarely explored the role of the sea in the development of the cultures and societies of this land. The country's leading two maritime archaeologists reveal the extensive material evidence for maritime life and traditions of Ireland from 7000 BC to the present day. This is a book that will appeal not just archaeologists and divers but anyone interested in Ireland's rich heritage.
