The Origins Of The Irish by J.P. Mallory
A concise synthetic account that traces the prehistoric peopling and cultural formation of Ireland by bringing together archaeology, linguistics, genetics, and myth; it surveys Mesolithic settlement, the Neolithic transition to farming, and later Bronze Age and Iron Age developments, examines the arrival and spread of Indo-European (Celtic/Goidelic) languages and material cultures, and evaluates competing models for migration, trade and population continuity to explain how ancient movements and interactions produced the distinct early Irish archaeological and linguistic landscape.
