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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Viking antiquities|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh97001099|zIceland.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80140759-781 650 0 Caves|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85021504 |zIceland.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80140759 -781 650 0 Paleoecology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85097060|zIceland.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n80140759-781 650 0 Environmental archaeology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85044166|zIceland.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80140759-781 650 7 Antiquities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/810745 650 7 Celtic antiquities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 850379 650 7 Viking antiquities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1166931 650 7 Caves.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/849907 650 7 Paleoecology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1051384 650 7 Environmental archaeology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/912853 651 0 Iceland|xAntiquities.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh96010069 651 0 Iceland|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80140759 |xAntiquities, Celtic.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99002354 651 7 Iceland.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210572 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAhronson, Kristján, 1975-, author.|tInto the ocean|z9781442646179|w(OCoLC)865495464 830 0 Toronto Old Norse and Icelandic studies ;|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2005110610|v8. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=961823|zOnline eBook.
