Corrib may have had 'major' settlement (Ireland)

A CONNEMARA archaeologist says that the recent discovery of two stone axes in Galway city and county points to a “major” hunter-gatherer presence on the Corrib catchment up to 9,000 years ago.

The axes were found in Ballybane and in the garden of a private house in Clifden, Co Galway, and are the latest in a number of significant finds recorded by archaeologist Michael Gibbons in the last couple of months.

Dangle your feet in the Corrib and all your troubles flow away.

Strikingly beautiful ax.

Looks well formed.

I like the guy's face. Looks like he's been slamming about a fishing boat for fifty years.

[JimSEA]

Seldom see a face like that from working inside for sure.

Or hanging around with Freddie Prince. Looks kind of like Jack Albertson, doesn’t he?

Is that it? He does look somehow familiar.
