The prehistories of Britain and Ireland are inescapably entwined
with continental European narratives. The central aim here is to
explore 'cross-channel' relationships throughout later prehistory,
investigating the archaeological links (material, social, cultural)
between the areas we now call Britain and Ireland, and continental
Europe, from the Mesolithic through to the end of the Iron Age.
Since the separation from the European mainland of Ireland (c.
16,000 BC) and Britain (c. 6000 BC), their island nature has been
seen as central to many aspects of life within them, helping to
define their senses of identity, and forming a crucial part of
their neighbourly relationship with continental Europe and with
each other. However, it is important to remember that the
surrounding seaways have often served to connect as well as to
separate these islands from the continent. In approaching the
subject of 'continental connections' in the long-term, and by
bringing a variety of different archaeological perspectives
(associated with different periods) to bear on it, this volume
provides a new a new synthesis of the ebbs and flows of the
cross-channel relationship over the course of 15,000 years of later
prehistory, enabling fresh understandings and new insights to
emerge about the intimately linked trajectories of change in both
regions.
