‘The authors have successfully established the baseline which will benefit all future research into Northern Ireland’s artefacts. The production of these volumes has been a remarkably feat of organisation and dedication.’ – Barrie Hartwell (2022): Ulster Journal of Archaeology 77

‘This volume is an inventory of all known locations of prehistoric artefacts in Northern Ireland, arranged by county. Each entry contains a description of the artefact, its location, and any references; many entries are accompanied by an illustration. The discussion includes distribution maps of objects by period, providing an overview of prehistoric activity across Northern Ireland. This is the culmination of many years of dedicated work. It will be an essential reference work for anyone looking at the prehistory of Ireland.’ – Duncan Berryman (2022): Ulster Archaeological Society newsletter Spring 2022
