Exchange and trade in early medieval ireland
When medieval merchants traded in slaves to buy wines and spices. IRISH merchants living more than 1,500 years ago traded slaves and sold butter, wool, leather hides and food to countries thousands of kilometres away including Turkey, Greece, Tunisia and Iceland. Material culture may also indicate an Irish presence in Wales, or at least trade and contact with Ireland during the early medieval period. For example, a lead fragment of a zoomorphic penannular brooch with champlevé enamelled terminals was found at Dinas Powys in southeast Wales, and is said to parallel examples from County Meath ( Alcock, 1963 ; Wooding, 1996 ). As in so much else, so for trade: the early medieval period on Europe was a shadow of what had come before under the Roman Empire. In the centuries after the fall of the Roman empire in the west , long-distance trade routes shrank to a shadow of what they had been. 26 Doherty, Charles, ‘ Exchange and trade in early medieval Ireland ’ in R.S.A.I.

The intrinsic importance of agricullture and economy to Early Medieval society is discussed as well as trade and exchange and crafts and technology.

Thomas R Kerr, Finbar McCormick & Aidan O’Sullivan. Early Medieval Archaeology Project: (EMAP 2) Report 7:1 December (2013). Abstract. The excavation boom in the early twenty-first century has created a substantial archaeological database for early medieval Ireland. The trade networks that were established in the Early Middle Ages are entirely different from those that existed during the Roman period. Many Roman trade networks centered on the Mediterranean; early Medieval networks centered on the Baltic and North Sea. Some archaeologists have argued that the establishment of these emporia may be closely
In the culture of Europe, several features surfaced soon after 1000 that mark the end of the Early Middle Ages: the rise of the medieval communes, the reawakening of city life, and the appearance of the burgher class, the founding of the first universities, the rediscovery of Roman law, and the beginnings of vernacular literature.

Trade and commerce in the medieval world developed to such an extent that even relatively small communities had access to weekly markets and, perhaps a day’s travel away, larger but less frequent fairs, where the full range of consumer goods of the period was set out to tempt the shopper and small retailer.
