Opis

With a definite economic focus, this work utilises a broad spectrum of information, including structural, artefactual, environmental, technological and documentary to examine the economy of early medieval Ireland and the domestic life of the non-elite population. Evidence from ringforts forms the basis of the study, but is supplemented with material from other settlement forms such as crannogs and monasteries where appropriate.
