As its title promises, this book is, in fact, very well illustrated with hundreds of color, as well as black and white photos and drawings. Thirty-seven contibuting authors take the reader from the Stone Age up to early modern times. Herein lies my only criticism, which is that I hope this text can be expanded in future revised editions to go beyond just the 17th century and into new and important areas of excavation such as the Famine archaeology of the 20th century. Other than that, I salute its editor for providing features like a useful glossary of terms particular to Irish archaeology, as well as helpful explanations in the beginning of this book of some of the newest techniques in Irish archaeology.Well worth its price and 4.5 stars perhaps!
