Human Ecology and Neolithic Transition in Eastern County Donegal, Ireland

In 1995 the author conducted an archaeological survey within a 296 km2 region in eastern county Donegal, Ireland, which resulted in an investigation of the transition from Ireland's Mesolithic to the Neolithic from a regional-scale perspective in a part of Ireland with no history of systematic field collections. A hypothesis for settlement, raw material economy and subsistence during the Later Mesolithic and Neolithic is proposed.
