Challenges for people with intellectual disabilities in law enforcement interactions in Ireland; thematic analysis informed by 1537 person-years' experience
BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities (PWID) are over-represented in criminal justice systems globally. This over-representation reveals itself at once in the demographic make-up of prison populations, as well as those detained in police settings as suspects of crime. While it is well-established in international literature that individuals who find themselves in the latter scenario face particular challenges in negotiating the forens…
Exiles, Emigrés and Intermediaries

Before the Stone Age Existed
What is the difference between temptation and geological time? The one is a wile of the devil and the other is a devil of a while. (Dawkins to Hughes, 17 March 1870: SMC: TMH) In the early eighteenth century, John Conyers, an apothecary and antiquary of London, discovered the body of an elephant as he was digging for gravel at Gray’s Inn Lane. Nearby lay a flint implement (Fig. 1.1). Today we might well call his elephant a ‘mammoth’ and refer the…
Geological Re-shuZing and the Growth of Suspicion
A song written for the last day of the 1973 conference on Quaternary geology held at Burg Wartenstein, Austria, offers an unintentionally accurate description of the atmosphere that surrounded British geological research in the 1930s. The words were intended to be sung to the tune of Clementine: . . . In a valley in die Alpen in neunteen-hundred neun Oh, there werkte Penck and Bruückner, carving up the Pleistoceun. They had Günzes, they had Würms…
Arguments over the Ice Age
The acceptance of human antiquity in the mid-nineteenth century fed a desire to know more about the age of these chipped stone tools from the drift. In 1863, Canon William Greenwell (1820–1918), the antiquary, archaeologist, and collector from Durham, declared: ‘The great question which has yet to be settled is this—at what period was the drift in which the flints are found deposited? And side by side with this was another important query—down to…
Chronologies of the Early Twentieth Century
Dr Allen Sturge spelled out some of the problems facing researchers who worked on the British Palaeolithic in his first Presidential Address to the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia. For the Drift period, the main task was ‘to ascertain the relative ages of the humanly-worked stones, and the number of the periods concerned’.1 In 1908, when Sturge made this suggestion, he was troubled by suspicions that the French divisions—Chellean, Acheulian, a…
The Advent of the Abbé Breuil
In 1930, Boswell made a compelling statement of his faith in the British Palaeolithic sequence as a reliable guide to geological time. The archaeologist Harold Peake (1867–1946), honorary curator of Newbury Museum whose interests ranged from earliest prehistory to the Bronze Age, had attended the same session at the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. He was provoked by Boswell’s conviction to offer a cautiou…
Swanscombe
In the early twentieth century, Palaeolithic research seemed to be flourishing on the Continent. Commont was carrying out groundbreaking work in the Somme, and rich hauls were being recovered from the reindeer-caves of France and Spain. France could also boast a research centre: the Institute of Human Palaeontology, where Boule, Breuil, and Obermaier held posts. Britain, though, was weighed down by nostalgia: unfavourable contrasts were being dra…
Conclusion
Ideas about the British Palaeolithic and its connections to geological time changed enormously between the days of the early eighteenth century, when Bagford wondered whether the implement found by Conyers at Gray’s Inn Lane had been left by an Ancient Briton near the bones of a Roman elephant, and the century covered in this book. In the hundred years that followed the acceptance of human antiquity—between c.1860 and c.1960— similar tools were s…
Eoliths
In 1912, Edwin Ray Lankester (1847–1929), a well-regarded zoologist, was introducing some interesting and ancient flints to the academic world at a Royal Society soirée when he spotted Dawkins in the room. The two men started to quarrel over the stones. Soon afterwards, Lankester described the incident to a friend, explaining ‘Dawkins was there and I made him go over them with me’. Dawkins, though now elderly, was still outspoken. He proceeded to…
The Pre-Palaeolithic of East Anglia
The attacks of Warren and Haward had dominated the realms of flint-fracture research, and the defensive forays of Moir and Lankester had not strengthened the cause of the pre-palaeoliths as much as they might have hoped. But Lankester was grooming Moir in another approach: how to promote the pre-palaeoliths as respectable archaeological specimens. He advised, ‘You can always state what are the accepted views & pros & cons put forward by geologist…
Ancient Dwellers of the Thames Valley
Stone-Age classifications of the nineteenth century are usually dismissed in a few sentences that refer briefly to Lubbock’s ‘Palaeolithic’ and ‘Neolithic’ divisions; the faunal chronology developed by the French palaeontologist, Édouard Lartet (1801–1871); and the famous industrial classification promoted by the French prehistorian, Gabriel de Mortillet. The reactions of other researchers to the stone tools of the British river drifts have been …
River-Drift Men and Cave Men
British researchers often compared their river-drift tools to French finds. The gravel pits of St Acheul, rich in hand-axes, were a popular choice. Another was the cave of Le Moustier, known for its scrapers. By the end of the nineteenth century, British tools might be called ‘Mousterian’, ‘Acheulian’, or ‘Chellean’. These labels are associated with the French prehistorian Gabriel de Mortillet, and it is often assumed that de Mortillet’s classifi…
Finding Time for the Old Stone Age
Finding Time for the Old Stone Age explores a century of colorful debate over the age of our earliest ancestors. In the mid nineteenth century curious stone implements were found alongside the bones of extinct animals. Humans were evidently more ancient than had been supposed--but just how old were they? There were several clocks for Stone-Age (or Palaeolithic) time, and it would prove difficult to synchronize them. Conflicting timescales were dr…
The competition for the Woodwardian Chair of Geology
In 1873 the chair of geology at the University of Cambridge fell vacant following the death of Adam Sedgwick. Nine candidates stepped forward, hoping to fill the post. The correspondence generated in the ensuing battle illuminates two areas of particular interest. First, the strategies hidden behind bland lists of successive professors: candidates, peers and patrons manoeuvred to influence the outcome of the competition and competitors tried to r…
A Companion to the Fairy Tale
This book discusses the characteristics of the traditional fairy tale in Europe and North America, and various theories of its development and interpretation. The book deals with the main collections - the Grimm brothers, Hans Andersen, Perrault and Afanes'ev - and with the development of tales in various regions of Europe, including Ireland, Wales, Scandinavia, Germany and Russia, as well as India, where it was once claimed that they originated.…
