This book investigates the archaeological evidence for crafts and
production in early medieval Ireland, AD 400-1100, with a
particular focus on the extensive excavated evidence from rural
secular and ecclesiastical settlements. The volume firstly provides
an overview of the social and ideological contexts of crafts and
technologies in early Ireland. It then outlines the extant evidence
specifically for iron-working, non-ferrous metalworking, glass,
enamel and millefiori, bone, antler and horn, and stone working,
and characterises each craft practice in terms of scale, outputs
and implications for society. Tables provide additional information
on wood craft and pottery. The book then provides a detailed review
of the use of different materials in dress and ornament, touches on
cloth and textile production, and explores how social identities
were performed through objects and material practices. The book
then provides a voluminous site gazetteer accounting for all
evidence for craft and production on hundreds of early medieval
settlements, with numerous tables of data, site plans, artefact
drawings and photographs and an extensive bibliography. The book is
based on the work of the Early Medieval Archaeology Project (EMAP),
which was funded through the Irish Heritage Council and Department
of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht's INSTAR programme, a
collaborative research project carried out by University College
Dublin and Queens University Belfast which reviewed all
archaeological excavations in Ireland between c.1930-2012. This
particular book, building on EMAP's previous studies of dwellings
and settlements, and agriculture and economy, provides the baseline
for a generation of studies of early medieval crafts and production
in Ireland in its northwest European contexts.
