LATE BRONZE AGE IRISH CHIEFTAIN. The Bronze Age in Ireland approximately lasted from 2500 BC to 500 BC. The material culture of the British Isles during the Late Bronze Age was part of a wider Atlantic system that extended along the western coast of France to western Spain and Portugal, which was different from the material cultures of the contemporary Nordic Bronze Age and the Urnfield culture of Central Europe and Italy.

MYCENAEAN “LAWAGETA” (leader of the king’s army). The Mycenaean civilization was the last phase of the Bronze Age in mainland Greece, lasting from 1750 BC to 1050 BC approximately. Mycenaean art and material culture was heavily influenced by the Minoan civilization of Crete (3100-1100 BC), which the Mycenaeans seem to have eventually conquered, although both civilizations were unique in many aspects. Unlike the relatively peaceful Minoans, the Mycenaeans were very war-like, with many…
