“…infant femora), creating difference through funerary rite and repeating the metaphorical associations of body-type combinations. Much later, in Iron Age Europe, significant differences in gendered practices seem to have existed between communities (Pope, 2021), further disproving any sense of a growing ossification of binary gender over time.…”

Gender has long been recognized as an important structuring agent in Bronze Age communities across Europe. A strong impression of binary gender emerges from some Early Bronze Age cemeteries, and models of social organization developed from this evidence have greatly influenced understandings of gender across the continent. This article focuses on two regions with more equivocal evidence: Ireland and Scotland, where idiosyncratic practices characterize individual cemeteries alongside wider trends. Expressions of gender varied in radical ways between different communities, and this cannot be captured or explained by the current grand narratives for the European Bronze Age. Instead, the author argues that gender could be subtle, contextual, and of varying importance to individual communities at different times, not necessarily a common feature unifying the European Bronze Age.

“…These clusters have been understood to be the material embodiment of a system of linear descent, in which the different areas would correspond to the lineages or kinship groups that made up the community (Álvarez‐Sanchís 2005, 267; González‐Ruibal 2006, 148; Fernández‐Götz 2014a, 183–201; Barril‐Vicente 2017; Liceras‐Garrido 2022b). Although DNA analysis will be necessary to support or refute this interpretation, paleogenetic studies in temperate Europe have proven the existence of genetic parentage along the mother's line in similar contexts (Fernández‐Götz and Liceras‐Garrido 2019b, 184; Pope 2021).…”

Summary Since the beginning of Iron Age archaeology, urban agglomerations have dominated the debate on urbanism. The rural settlements – their types, functions and socio‐political dynamics – have been practically absent from the general discussion. The territorial backdrop of the Late Iron Age communities can provide both a new comparative framework in which to approach urban studies and essential keys to understanding how these societies worked. Developed from recent research into the oppida territories of the Eastern Meseta in central Spain, this paper presents a territorial overview that includes a characterization of the rural settlement, population figures and the role of urban centres as a proxy for territorial identities. This work also explores the network of relationships between oppida and between urban‐rural areas. In conclusion, this article argues that examining the rural‐urban settlement as a whole will lead us to a better understanding of the urban dynamics of the first millennium BC.

“…2500 BC (Cassidy et al, 2016;Cassidy, 2018), occurred long before the emergence of Celtic languages and what is considered classic Celtic culture in Ireland ca. 700-300 BC (Brown & Ogilvie, 2009;Pope, 2021). The prevalence of R1b-L21 in the British and Irish Isles is high, ranging from an estimated 60-69% in Ireland, to 50-59% in the west of Scotland and Wales, to 11-20% in southeast England (Busby et al, 2011).…”

“…Hence, the 'genetic proximity between Bretons and Irish' among Ychromosome haplogroups is well recognised (Karakachoff et al, 2015). Still, any exact understanding of where R1b-L21 sub-haplogroups may have originated is complex because the migrational movements of ancient Celts was dynamic and not unidirectional (Fitzpatrick, 2018); there was a continuous coming and going of individuals and small groups (Pope, 2021).…”

Y-DNA analysis is a remarkable method that can inform patrilineal genealogies, both ancient, and modern. Applied here to facilitate a critical review of Branan pedigrees, an analysis of haplogroup R-BY140757 results in a deep questioning of the dominant narratives of the O’Braonáin Uí Dhuach (O’Brenan of Idough). What results is a disruption of those narratives that is total. The O’Braonáin Uí Dhuach, held by Ossorian historians to share descent from Cearbhall, King of Osraí (843-888 AD), we argue, are not Osraighe, but are an Uí Failghi tribe – this based on the ultimate authority of Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh. Hence, Y-DNA connections between Branans, or those with similar-sounding surnames, and related others, are a false trail for those who claim descent from Cearbhall. Once Mac Fhirbhisigh is embraced, and the erroneous pedigrees of the O’Braonáin Uí Dhuach are set aside, the origins of men with Branan, and similar-sounding surnames, of haplogroup R-BY140757, can be correctly determined. And, based on Y-DNA haplotype analysis, it is considered those origins are not with the O’Braonáin Uí Dhuach, or any Irish clan. Rather, haplotype R-BY140757 appears to have originated from a family who settled near Braham, in Suffolk, after the Norman conquest of England. The key figure in the appearance of R-BY140757 pedigrees in Éire is Sir Robert de Braham, who was Sheriff of Kilkenny ca. 1250 AD.
