Viking Age Glass Beads of Ireland and their North Atlantic Context (1-page, PDF)
by Joanne (Johanna) O'Sullivan
"
This doctoral research stemmed from the need to confidently identify and analyse the archaeological evidence for the use of diagnostically Scandinavian glass beads in early medieval Ireland. Thus, the scope of this study reached across the North Atlantic (and beyond), including comparative collections and evidence from Ireland, Britain, Scandinavia, Russia, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Canada.
The majority of previous studies which have included the discussion of Viking glass beads have focused on the assemblages from individual sites, with limited use of known parallels and analysis of the relevant finds from Ireland was, for the most part, non-existent. The aim of this research is to address this lack of analysis within Ireland, while incorporating the wider context of the beads within the Viking North Atlantic."
