Morocco’s Rock Art
The general distribution of the rock art sites in Morocco is indicated in this report. The vast majority are situated in southern Morocco, in the region of the River Draa and further south. One important exception is the High Atlas mountain range. The location of these sites is shown to be fairly standardised. Four different groups of engravings are identified, based on technique and theme. In the absence of any direct dating of the engravings, t…
Rock Art in Morocco
Rock art in Morocco is widespread and varied, but little known in English-speaking circles. The present paper aims to present a broad outline of this art — almost entirely represented by engravings — as it is known today. A brief survey of past research is given. The distribution of sites is indicated, showing the country to be roughly divided into two areas: the High Atlas mountains and the sub-Saharan regions to the south. Four major groups of …

Lussa Bay, Isle of Jura, Argyll
More than 2,000 additional tools have been recovered from the shore of Lussa Bay since 1969. Blades, flakes, cores and scrapers are the most common forms. The assemblage is compared to the previous finds from the immediate area; of particular interest are the relatively large, broad trapeze--triangle microliths, noted elsewhere on Jura and thought to belong to a comparatively early phase within the Mesolithic sequence on the island
Mesolithic activity at Carn southern raised beach, Isle of Jura
A small flint-workers' site on the east coast of North Jura - assigned to Jura's Phase 2 - provided interesting vegetational information in addition to confirming Mesolithic activity in the area. A golden bark layer (probably alder) directly overlay the occupation layer, which itself yielded a carbonised pear-like fruit-pip. Pollen analysis of the overlying peat showed clear traces of human influence on the vegetation from the beginning of the pe…
Glengarrisdale
A second excavation on the west coast of north Jura confirmed a Jura Phase 3 (final Mesolithic) occupation overlying a Phase 2 site, the latter probably late in the period. Carbon dating of a typologically similar Phase 3 site on the east coast suggested a late fourth-millennium occupation; carbon dating was not possible at Glengarrisdale. This west coast site did not unfortunately provide a single undisturbed occupation but useful confirmation w…
