This book tracks the development of social complexity in Ireland
from the late prehistoric period on into the Middle Ages. Using a
range of methods and techniques, particularly data from settlement
patterns, Blair Gibson demonstrates how Ireland evolved from
constellations of chiefdoms into a political entity bearing the
characteristics of a rudimentary state. This book argues that early
medieval Ireland's highly complex political systems should be
viewed as amalgams of chiefdoms with democratic procedures for
choosing leaders rather than kingdoms. Gibson explores how these
chiefdom confederacies eventually transformed into recognizable
states over a period of 1,400 years.
