Excavations at the Peel of Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire, 1975-9
Five seasons of excavation on this earthwork castle provided fragmentary information about the initial modification and occupation of a natural drumlin, with associated wet ditch, outer bank and stone causeway. In its earliest phase the site was associated with the Durward family. Ceramic and numismatic evidence indicates an initial occupation span from the mid 13th century to the early 14th century. Subsequently the site was reoccupied in the la…
Estimating the Duration of Archaeological Activity Using 14 C Determinations
One of the questions that archaeologists have always hoped to be able to answer using radiocarbon dating is: ‘How long did this activity last?'. It has for some time been accepted that this question cannot adequately be addressed by simply calibrating single radiocarbon determinations. Rather, it is necessary to find means for coherently relating such determinations to one another and to the archaeology from which they came. In addition, most arc…
The Use of Wood as a Natural Resource at a Scottish Mesolithic Site
The excavation of the archaeological site at Nethermills Farm yielded Mesolithic material, including large quantities of carbonised wood and nut fragments, discussed in this paper. Their analysis indicates a pronounced domination of Quercus (oak). This probably means that wood was collected from local woodland in which oak was dominant. A similar pattern – in which wood use reflects local availability – has been seen at other Mesolithic sites and…
Combining archaeological and radiocarbon information
A recent and significant improvement in radiocarbon dating has been the increased ability of the radiocarbon laboratories to provide results combining precision with accuracy. This improvement has been accompanied by increasing recognition that the information must be expressed on the calendar, rather than on the radiocarbon, time-scale. Despite the attempts of Ottaway (1987) and Pearson (1987), archaeologists are not sufficiently aware of the st…

Excavations in the Dairy Park, Dunrobin, Sutherland, 1977
NC 847003. A low rectangular cairn covered the burial in a long cist of an adult female marked by a Class I Pictish symbol stone bearing an incised double crescent, snake and Z-rod and mirror and comb. Two 14C analyses indicate a date for the burial in the 7th century ad. NC 848004. Medieval corn-drying kiln. A R
A cordoned urn from NE Scotland
A reconsideration of the 'Ardiffery' finds, Cruden, Aberdeenshire
The provenances and contents are distinguished of two groups of artefacts from Cruden which are commonly confused in archaeological literature. A cist found at Uppermill, Cruden (NK 053370) in 1821 contained partial inhumations of a man and a child, pig bones, a wristguard, seven barbed-and-tanged arrowheads, two flint knives and two beakers of Clarke's Developed Northern (N2) group. The objects found in 1812 at Greenbrae, Cruden (NK 057358) incl…
