The main reason why few sites using the Later Larnian techniques of blade production have been found is geological, i.e. the latest sites are always the easiest to find. Some consideration is also given to the problems of survival of Late Larnian material after contact with the Neolithic way of life. Due to the lack of distinctive implement types on many of the late sites, there are problems in finding definitive evidence of a long survival of the Larnian's traditional methods of blade production.","PeriodicalId":43075,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY SECTION C-ARCHAEOLOGY CELTIC STUDIES HISTORY LINGUISTICS LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85863173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The series of strata exposed in a pit 5·00 metres square and over 8·00 metres deep have been studied not only from point of view of a mechanical method of sediment analysis, but also on the basis of their contained fauna. No polleniferous deposits were encountered, but a nearby locality on Island Magee has provided the information necessary for tying in the Curran Point section with the palæobotanical zone sequence for Northern Ireland. A total of 116 species of mollusca, 92 species of foraminifera, and 5 species of calcareous algae was collected, and a detailed study of these, together with the results of the analysis of the sediments, has led to a clear understanding of the changes of level that have taken place in the region during Early Post-Glacial times. On the basis of these data it is now possible to establish more accurately than had previously been done the interval covered by the climatic optimum, or Early Post-Glacial warmth maximum, in terms both of the stratigraphic sequence of the coastal localities in Counties Antrim and Down, and the palæobotanical succession worked out for this region. It is demonstrated that this event does not correspond with the maximum of the transgression of the Early Post-Glacial Sea, as was formerly supposed. Furthermore, it can now be shown that the later stages of the submergence were interrupted by a second relatively minor phase of sinking, following which the movement of emergence began, the maximum of the transgression having been attained during the transition from Late Atlantic to Early Sub-Boreal times in terms of the climatic succession.The archæological wealth of Curran Point, Larne—the type locality for the Irish Mesolithic—was first recognized in 1863. Presumably during the long interval of relative stability represented by the Estuarine Clay (Deposit H) at the site, the Late Larnian Culture, so abundantly represented in the Curran deposits, was developed. The numerous foreshore localities in the region apparently were transgressed by the sea during the second phase of the sinking, and their contents were transported by long-shore currents and wave action into the intertidal sand and gravel deposits that were being laid down on the rapidly growing spit that was then being formed at the northern end of Larne Lough, now known as Curran Point. A statistical analysis of over 5,500 artifacts belonging to the Late Larnian Culture and found at the excavated site is given, together with illustrations and descriptions of the various types of tools characteristic of the assemblage as a whole.

It is published to coincide with the international Conference on Hunting and Gathering Societies (CHAGS13) hosted by University College Dublin’s School of Archaeology, 27 June to 1 July 2022. CHAGS is the international meeting of the International Society for Hunter-Gatherer Research, and brings together anthropologists, archae-ologists, community representatives and staff from a variety of state and NGO positions—all sharing an interest in hunter-gatherers; past, present and future. This short introduction provides a background and a context for the papers. It is not a comprehensive history of the Irish Mesolithic (see Driscoll 2006; Warren 2022; Woodman 1978; Woodman 2015). We have selected fourteen papers published over ninety years from 1912 to 2022. We have, broadly, attempted to select one per decade or so, but also to capture the different levels of scholarly output over this period. There are more papers from recent years, reflecting the significant expansion of Irish archaeology since the 1990s. Papers relevant to Ireland’s hunter-gatherer past were mainly published in the PRIA Section C: Archaeology, Culture, History and Literature ; with one selected from Section B: Biological, Geological, and Chemical Sciences (now published as Biology and Environment: Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy ). These papers do not provide a complete representation of the Mesolithic in Ireland. Substantial contributions have been made in monographs providing overviews (Warren 2022; Woodman 1978; Woodman 2015) as well as publications of key excavations (Woodman 1985; Woodman . or research projects (Woodman . 2006).
