520 8  Annotation|bThat Gaelic monasticism flourished in the 
       early medieval period is well established. The "Irish 
       School" penetrated large areas of Europe and contemporary 
       authors describe North Atlantic travels and settlements. 
       Across Scotland and beyond, Celtic-speaking communities 
       spread into the wild and windswept north, marking hundreds
       of Atlantic settlements with carved and rock-cut 
       sculpture. They were followed in the Viking Age by 
       Scandinavians who dominated the Atlantic waters and 
       settled the Atlantic rim.With Into the Ocean, Kristjan 
       Ahronson makes two dramatic claims: that there were people
       in Iceland almost a century before Viking settlers first 
       arrived c. AD 870, and that there was a tangible 
       relationship between the early Christian "Irish" 
       communities of the Atlantic zone and the Scandinavians who
       followed them.Ahronson uses archaeological, 
       paleoecological, and literary evidence to support his 
       claims, analysing evidence ranging from pap place names in
       the Scottish islands to volcanic airfall in Iceland. An 
       interdisciplinary analysis of a subject that has intrigued
       scholars for generations, Into the Ocean will challenge 
       the assumptions of anyone interested in the Atlantic 
       branch of the Celtic world.
