  • The early Bronze Age cairn at Sketewan, Balnaguard, Perth & Kinross

    Roger Mercer, Roger J Mercer et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…1998

    The excavation of the cairn in 1988 revealed a complex sequence of EBA funerary activities. These comprised several episodes of pyre cremation, construction of a large central cist, and six smaller satellite cists all of which had cremations deposited within them. This `cemetery' area was later surrounded by an eccentrically positioned ring-cairn which, subsequently, was covered by a massive mantle of stones. Burial and other ceremonial activitie…

  • Metal Arrow-heads in the European Bronze and Early Iron Ages

    Open AccessRoger Mercer, Roger J MercerARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1970References: 4

    The practice of Archery in the Bronze Age and early Iron Age as it survives to us in the archaeological record is difficult of interpretation owing to the low survival value of most archery equipment—the one relic of fairly high survival value being the arrow-head, of flint, bronze or iron. This paper deals with a topic little touched upon previously, and, setting aside the tradition of stone arrow-head manufacture (which persisted well into the …
