The Bronze Age in Ireland by George Coffey
"The Bronze Age in Ireland" by George Coffey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work extensively examines the archaeological findings and cultural implications of the Bronze Age in Ireland, including the tools, weapons, and societal structures during this pivotal period. Coffey aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on Ireland's connections to other Bronze Age civilizations across Europe, with a strong focus on the artifacts discovered throughout thecountry. The opening of the book introduces the author’s intent to collate his previous research on the Bronze Age in Ireland, noting the absence of a comprehensive overview on the subject prior to this work. Coffey discusses the transition from the Neolithic period, highlighting the coexistence of stone and metal tools and pointing out the lack of definitive historical documents on the civilization of this era. He emphasizes that Ireland was not isolated during the Bronze Age but interacted with broader European cultures, which influenced its development. This introduction sets the stage for subsequent chapters that delve into specific artifacts and implements, as well as the broader cultural and historical contexts of the Irish Bronze Age.
