This collection of 24 papers aims to reconsider the nature and
significance of the Irish Sea as an area of cultural interaction
during the Neolithic period. The traditional character of work
across this region has emphasised the existence of prehistoric
contact, with sea routes criss-crossing between Ireland, the Isle
of Man, Anglesey and the British mainland. A parallel course of
investigation, however, has demonstrated that the British and Irish
Neolithics were in many ways different, with distinct indigenous
patterns of activity and social practices. The recent emphasis on
regional studies has further produced evidence for parallel yet
different processes of cultural change taking place throughout the
British Isles as a whole. This volume brings together some of these
regional perspectives and compares them across the Irish Sea area.
The authors consider new ways to explain regional patterning in the
use of material objects and relate them to past practices and
social strategies. Were there practices that were shared across the
Irish Sea area linking different styles of monuments and material
culture, or were the media intrinsic to the message? The volume is
based on papers presented at a conference held at the University of
Manchester in 2002.
