Synopsis "Ancient Ireland: A Study in the Lessons of Archaeology and History (Routledge Library Editions: Archaeology)"

Archaeological evidence here is used to help build up a picture of the lives led by the people of which it is a record. The contents include a description of primitive settlements, leading up to an account of the art, trade and civilization generally of early ages prior to the Celtic invasion and up to the end of Medieval times. Two chapters take narratives from the time and analyse them against physical evidence and consider what they tell us alongside that information. Many often overlooked facts are brought to the fore and special attention is paid to the overwhelming influence of climate in shaping human destiny. Originally published in 1935, this book is as enlightening today.

R.S. Macalister (Robert Stawell Macalister) was a prominent Irish archaeologist and philologist who played a significant role in the study and publication of ancient Irish texts. He is well-known for his work in translating and analyzing various medieval Irish texts, and is particularly notable for his work on the Lebor Gabála Érenn (The Book of the Invasions of Ireland).

Macalister published a critical and translated edition of Lebor Gabála Érenn in 1909, which became an important reference for scholars of Irish literature and mythology. His version is one of the most influential in the field of Celtic studies, as it provided a complete translation of the original Gaelic Irish text into English, accompanied by explanatory notes and detailed analyses of the mythological and historical content.
