Description:
Wordwell, 2009 Book. New. Hardcover. This volume includes an appreciation of Barry's career and the contributions are organised into thematic sections reflecting major areas of his own research interests. Papers on the archaeology of wetlands are followed by a series on technology and artefacts. The key issue of contacts and communication is covered and there is a section on one of Barry's long-term interests - La Tene art. There are a number of papers on life and death in later prehistory followed by others on hillforts and enclosures, an interest of Barry's from his early graduate research days. Appropriately the volume concludes with a historical perspective looking at archaeological events and characters in twentieth-century Ireland..
