Summary of Fintan O'Toole's A History of Ireland in 100 Objects

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The story of human beings in Ireland is very short. The first evidence of people living in Ireland goes back only to c. 8000 BC, to the era known as the Mesolithic or middle stone age. The first Irish settlers, at sites such as Mount Sandel in Co. Derry and Lough Boora in Co. Offaly, seem to have depended on wild boar and fish for their non-plant foods.

#2 The island of Ireland was not isolated from the rest of Europe, and was constantly changed and influenced by it. The people there made objects that suited their own conditions, and they responded to the pressures of their environment as best they could.
