Product Description
From the Publisher
From Colonization to Plantation
The Archaeology of Ulster attempts both to interpret and illustrate for the general reader the development of Ulster society from its initial colonisation by hunting-fishing bands to the last great influx of immigrants during the plantation. The authors reveal how the material evidence of the past is translated into archaeological interpretation and review many of the problems that currently occupy the attention of archaeologists in Ulster. They also examine to what extent Ulster differs from the rest of Ireland and how much of its past is a product of both peoples and influences shared by the other Irish provinces, Britain and continental Europe.

It does what the title says,
By Bert Ward - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Archaeology of Ulster: From Colonization to Plantation (Mass Market Paperback)
An interesting read which gives a concise history of the archaeology of Ulster from the early mesolithic to the plantation period. Loaded with useful references this is a must for anyone seriously interested in Ulster's early history. Also it has an easy to read lay out filled with plenty of relevant illustrations. My only complaint is that it needs a revision as new discoveries have been made since it first printing, never the less I found it very useful.
