Reading the Multiple Lives of Pictish Symbol Stones
A small number of Pictish symbol stones demonstrate evidence for multiple lives within the Early Historic Period. These stones are reviewed together with their implications for how we view the wider corpus of Pictish stones. The idea that the stones are burial markers is rejected. Instead, it is suggested that they were created in response to, and as a rejection of, Christian missionary activity.A small number of Pictish symbol stones demonstrate…

From the Stone Age to the Forty-Five
Excavation and volunteers: A cautionary tale
Some evidence is presented which appears to show that a differential recovery rate is to be expected among volunteers on an excavation and that this will be reflecting the volunteers’ individual interests and knowledge as much as the actual distribution of material in the ground. The implications of such a situation are briefly discussed
Bone Dice and the Scottish Iron Age
Parallelopiped bone dice form a small but important group in the bonework of the Scottish Iron Age. The overwhelming mass of this material has been produced by excavations in which the stratigraphy has not, save in exceptional circumstances, been recorded. Moreover, the large assemblages are from sites which give every indication of being multi-period, notably the brochs and wheelhouses of the Atlantic Province (the Province is defined in Piggott…
