The volume is the first comprehensive catalogue and detailed discussion of over 400 artifacts from more than a hundred furnished Viking graves in Ireland, many published for the first time. The volume includes the first detailed study of the archives of the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy and of the Irish Antiquities Division of the National Museum of Ireland, key resources for those interested in the history of museums in Ireland and in 19th and 20th century collectors and collecting. The grave-goods (both Insular and Scandinavian) are the subject of detailed examination, with separate sections devoted to weapons, dress ornaments and jewelry, tools, equestrian equipment and miscellaneous artifacts. The volume also contains a discussion of grave distribution, form, orientation, ritual and contents. While much of the text is given over to the Kilmainham-Islandbridge burial complex - now confirmed as by far the largest cemetery of its type in the Viking west - the monograph also includes details of the Viking graves from elsewhere in Dublin, and from the rest of Ireland.

Excavations in the heart of Dublin have uncovered numerous fragments of textile used for headcoverings. This well-presented book focuses on 68 fragments, dating from the 10th to mid 12th century, which were found in two streets. This important assemblage, therefore, provides a valuable opportunity to explore the link between the textiles and the people who lived in these Viking streets. At the heart of the book is a fully illustrated and descriptive catalogue of the scarves, bands and caps, made from wool and silk, but there is also a detailed discussion of the craftsmanship of the coverings, the types of cloth, the sewing techniques and their regional and international context, supported by historical and iconographic sources. There are also technical reports on the dye and remnants of hair.

The excavations carried out by the National Museum of Ireland bewteen 1962-81 yielded a large collection of copper-alloy and ringed pins. They form approximately one-third of the known corpus of ringed pins from Viking and medieval contexts in Europe. In this work, the late Professor Fanning defines and classifies the material evidence from the Dublin excavations, comparing them with assemblages from Irish sites and Viking Europe.
