Brian I'm not sure. There does seem to be gaps in the story that I've gathered so far. This bit is a diversion from what I'm really after, though :-) I was originally looking at the trade links between Scotland and Ireland, after reading of the large number of Antrim axes found in Aberdeenshire. There are a number of papers out there on this, but I have only found a few extracts so far. The Clyde is an obvious link, but with the Carlingford/Clyde Tomb category no longer being accepted as a group it's playing a bit of a game. There were obvious trade links and yet the archaeo bods seem to want to strip away another link by splitting the tomb category. Most confusing and I'm trying to get my head around it. Early days yet, which is why I'm after loadsa sources. Reply | with quote |  13th August 2007ce 21:00 In reply to: Re: Some Axe Factory Questions (rockartwolf) |
