Notices of a Bronze Axe and a Fragment of a Tanged Dagger found near Gullane, East Lothian, and of a Food-vessel from Cadder, Lanarkshire
A socketed and looped axe was found in the vicinity of a Bronze Age burial while the dagger was a poorly preserved surface find. The Food-vessel which contained cremated human remains was bought in a sale. An accompanying note claimed that it was one of four urns discovered in a burial mound during the 19th century
Notice of a Bronze Sword and Socketed Axe, believed to be Part of a Hoard found when Digging the Foundations of Houses in Grosvenor Crescent, Edinburgh, about the year 1869
A bronze sword purchased by the author is believed to be one of a group of 14 or 15 which formed a hoard discovered in the 19th century. The provenance of the socketed axe is unknown
Preliminary Report on Caves containing Palaeolithic Relics, near Inchnadamph, Sutherland
Excavation revealed a deposit of reindeer antlers representing more than 400 individual deer. Some antler was worked. Bones of the cave bear and the Arctic Fox were also recovered. More recent activity was represented by two human skeletons, an awl and a pin

Account of the Excavations on Traprain Law during the Summer of 1923
The results of a further season of excavation are summarised. Features included hearths, paved areas and stone foundations. The main focus of the article is on the artefacts of Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman date. The latter include brooches, pins, dress fasteners, glass and jet armlets and beads
Account of the Excavations on Traprain Law during the Summer of 1922
In the previous season of excavation, after determining that the ground examined had been under continuous occupation, at least during the period from the end of the first to the beginning of the fifth centuries AD, the excavators reverted to the original method of removing the ground in four more or less arbitrary levels of occupation. This method was continued during the present year, and therefore the plans do not represent accurately the actu…
Account of the Excavations on Traprain Law during the Summer of 1921
Further excavation recovered evidence of Neolithic and early Bronze Age activity in the form of stone and flint artefacts, followed by late Bronze Age and early Iron Age artefacts including socketed axes, terrets, glass beads, clay moulds and pins. There appears to have been a hiatus until the main occupation which spans the end of the 1st century to the early 5th century AD. Occasional levelling of the ground has led to the mixing of artefacts o…
Account of Excavartions on Traprain Law in the Parish of Prestonkirk, County of Haddington, in 1915. With Description of the Animal Remains
The area enclosed within the main line of fortification amounts to about 32 acres and over at least a considerable portion of the hill there were four distinct periods of inhabitation during the Iron Age. It is suggested that the presence of a few Neolithic and Bronze Age artefacts but no pottery precludes occupation in those periods. The earliest Iron Age phase appears to to be the longest period of occupation. Finds include coins and large quan…
Notice of the Excavation of a Cairn at Inverlael, Inverbroom, Ross-shire
The cairn had been disturbed prior to excavation. Some of the stones had been removed for road building and both cists had been opened. The smaller secondary cist contained cremated bone, a flint arrowhead, two flint scrapers, a mussel shell and several small white quartz pebbles. The arrowhead and scrapers had been burnt which is rare in Scotland. All that remained in the large central cist were a few fragments of unburnt bone and two sherds of …
Notice of the Excavation of a Hut-Circle near Ackergill Tower, Wick, Caithness
A report on the excavation of a newly discovered hut circle. The walls were composed of stones laid on sandy soil and survived to a height of one and a half feet. The thickness of the wall was irregular. Two doorways and a stone floor were revealed. A small paved passageway led up to one of the doors. Outside the wall of the hut-circle, and to the left of the entrance, a small chamber completely walled in was found. A few animal bones, shells, tw…
