JET-LIKE JEWELLERY, encompassing polished black stone arm-rings, bangles and bracelets, has not been subject to detailed study in Ireland for over 50 years. This paper refocuses attention on the archaeological evidence for the indigenous production of this type of jewellery in early medieval Ireland, with the aims of exploring its distribution and consumption, and its relevance to networks of social control and economic expansion. Using geospatial and stratigraphic interrogation of the archaeological record, and contemporary comparison with recent studies from Scotland, this article demonstrates a hitherto unrecognised level of complexity and diversity in the handling of this ubiquitous luxury item. Regional specialised production centres and separate distribution centres are identified, and while a focus on indigenous sources is apparent, this is not exclusive. Degrees of cooperation and exclusivity are suggested for ecclesiastical and secular social hierarchies.

爱尔兰中世纪早期类似喷气式飞机的珠宝：生产、分销和消费

JET-LIKE JEWELERY，包括抛光的黑色宝石臂环、手镯和手镯，在爱尔兰已有 50 多年没有经过详细研究。本文重新关注中世纪早期爱尔兰本土生产此类珠宝的考古证据，目的是探索其分布和消费，及其与社会控制和经济扩张网络的相关性。通过对考古记录的地理空间和地层调查，以及与苏格兰最近的研究进行当代比较，本文展示了处理这种无处不在的奢侈品的复杂性和多样性水平。确定了区域专业生产中心和单独的配送中心，虽然对本土来源的关注是显而易见的，这不是排他性的。建议对教会和世俗社会等级制度进行合作和排他性程度。
