Plastic Art in the Grand Canary
Institute I gave an account of the prehistoric pottery of the Canary Islands.As an appendix thereto I now offer illustrations of all the specimens of plastic art preserved in the Museum of Las Palmas, Grand Canary.The photographs and measurements were made for me by Mr. Charles Medrington, English photographer, at Las Palmas.I have no notes upon the figurines, for during my visits to the Museum my attention and time were fully occupied by the pot…

Report on Excavations at Fethaland and Trowie Knowe, Shetland; and of the Exploration of a Cairn on Dumglow, one of the Cleish Hills, Kinross-shire
Fethaland.-On the 4th of June 1904 I paid a preliminary visit to Fethaland to inspect a site which Mr R. Haldane believed to he the ruins of a broch.The Isle of Fethaland is now connected with the Mainland by a neck of rough, shingly beach, 350 feet wide, and at the highest tides in rough weather this narrow strip is nearly swept by the sea.At a short distance to the east of the neck is a low grassy mound on slightly rising ground, surrounded on …
The Ornament of the Beaker Class of Pottery
After studying the form of the beaker types and placing them in what seems to be their approximate chronological order (P.S. A.S., xxxviii. 323-410), it remains to examine the decoration applied to the surface. The style of ornament is strictly geometrical; the execution is often not very exact, and sometimes the design is rather suggested by a series of rapid scratches than actually delineated; occasionally, however, the lines are very firmly an…

A Proposed Chronological Arrangement of the Drinking-Cup or Beaker Class of Fictilia in Britain
Generally speaking, the whole ceramic material of the .Bronze Age is presented to the student as being nearly on the same plane. Hardly any attempt is made to discriminate between earlier and later forms; and when this has been done, the true chronological order has sometimes been inverted. Considering the great duration of the Bronze Age, such a presentation of the subject is unsatisfactory. If sufficient light were thrown upon it, this ceramic …
Excavation of Three Long Cists at Gladhouse Reservoir, Midlothian
In the month of June 1903, Mr George Forrest, Linden Cottage, Loanhead, brought some human bones to Dr Joseph Anderson at the Museum of National Antiquities.He reported that he had found them in a cist, the end of which projected from a bank on the edge of the Gladhouse Reservoir, and that there were two other cists beside it.After obtaining permission from the Chairman of the Water Trust to make a closer investigation of the cists, a permission …
Exploration of Circular Enclosures and an Underground House near Dinnet, on Deeside, Aberdeenshire
On the narrow neck of land between Lochs Davan and Kinordlocally pronounced Da-wan and Kinner-and also on the slopes of Culblean Hill, there are several circular enclosures, circles of stones, alignments of stones and cairns, which were first noticed by the Rev. J. G. Michie, then minister of the parish. He believed they were the remains of the Pictish village of Devana, and dated from about the time of the Roman occupation of Britain

Introduction : As about a century has elapsed since Sir Richard Hoare laid the foundations of archaeology in this country by the systemic excavation of ancient tumuli in Wilts, and as in that space of time a considerable body of prehistoric pottery has accumulated in our museums, the time has arrived when some attemps should be made to arrange this early ceramic in approximately chronological order

Turner's Samoa, there are still some allusions and sentences which are not perfectly clear
