Tandragee Idol

Hi Asarlaí, good to see you back and thanks for the edits on the idol. Have two requests if that's ok - can we compare sources on the 1000BC claim as I'm seeing that date, cautiously mind you, almost everywhere. And, if you have time, would you mind fact-checking the Corleck Head article, given you wrote the wiki page on the Lughnasadh, your insight would be valuable. Hoping to get it to FAC in next few weeks. I don't need a copy edit I think, as it's been through GA and PR recently, but there are areas I'm uncertain about, eg was its use as a cult idol sequentially with Lughnasadh? Did they overlap? Also, I think the head cult sect is underdeveloped so pointers needed! If busy no problem, but no harm in asking. Best. Ceoil (talk) 11:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ceoil. I've seen a few sources dating it to 1000 BC as well, which would be the Bronze Age. But most sources I've found so far date it to the Iron Age (500 BC-500 AD), and those seem to be better quality sources - more 'academic', more recent, and discussing the idol in more depth than a passing mention. But we should try to find as many sources as we can and compare them. Feel free to post some on the talkpage, and I'll do the same when I've time.

And yes I'll get a good look at Corleck Head next week, no problem. – Asarlaí ^(talk) 12:47, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a plan. PS, I'm guessing you have access to JSTOR, but if not I can email the relevant articles. Many thanks, as am very uneasy about the level of supposition re dating. Ceoil (talk) 14:22, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just to say appreciate the help with the Corleck head, excellent and informed edits. While the topic is fresh in my mind, planning to take Tandragee to GA in around a month; have ordered a few books (Welsh, Raftery, Billingsley) which should arrive in a week or two.
