Pict n Mix: art and identity in Ireland and Scotland's Iron Ages

New research of a small collection of unusual Iron Age artefacts, mostly found in the north of Ireland, has led to a re-examination of communication between Ireland and Scotland, well before the early medieval kingdom of Dal Riada. Recent work carried out by Scottish scientists and archaeologists on the DNA of small groups of Picts have shown a much more mobile people than once thought, inter-related to other groups across Britain and Ireland. Could the designs on the (possibly) Irish objects be connected to the earliest phases of Pictish identity?
