An Irish bowl food vessel uncovered at Scotstoun.
Irish bowl food vessels date from the earlier Bronze Age (between 2700 and 1400 BC). They are usually found in burials, although a few have been found in the ruins of settlements. The largest concentrations are found in the north-east of Ireland with lesser concentrations around Dublin and Wicklow and in the coastal areas of the north-east and south-west of Scotland. This distribution suggests that the manufacture and use of these objects spread along coastal trade routes.
