- This is a ground-breaking volume based on an extensive osteoarchaeological research project conducted over the course of a decade, with the book produced by a world-leading independent publishing house. The authors draw upon their analysis of a large Medieval Gaelic Irish population (1296 individuals) interred at Ballyhanna, County Donegal. The subject was previously invisible to scholarship in relation to both cultural context and social class and the book frames the individuals within their archaeological and historical context. The result is a highly original, theoretically and methodologically informed text that will provide important comparator information for studies throughout Europe.
