An Inventory of Objects of Roman and Provincial Roman Origin found on Sites in Scotland not definitely associated with Roman Constructions
The inventory records the occurrence of Roman finds on ninety-six sites in Scotland. Most are provincial and derive from Gaul, the Rhineland, or Britain. They are widely distributed over the country, though, as might be expected, the more important finds come from the area south of the Antonine Wall
Roman Drift in Caledonia
The products of a highly civilised community must always tend to drift across its political frontiers to less advanced peoples beyond. In the early centuries of our era the output of Roman workshops, following perhaps the older amber routes, was finding its way north of the Rhine and reaching Scandinavia. The same process was going on in Caledonia. The troops marching northward carried their supplies with them, and on the sites of their forts the…

Terra Sigillata
The article presents a series of more or less typical examples of decorated sigillata\r\nor samian bowls, and a brief outline of the industry, its beginnings in Italy, and the general trend of its development in Western Europe. Most of the illustrated examples come from Germany
Note on Additional Objects of Bronze and Iron from Newstead
A fibula and a small spoon came from one of the rubbish pits, and the fibula at least is likely to be of first century date. It is a La Tene type. Other items included a bronze spur with some textile attached and an iron ox-goad
An Account of a Find of Ornaments of the Viking Time for Valtos, Uig, in the Island of Lewis. With a Detailed Description of the Objects and a Note upon the Find
The objects were found along with human bones by school children in a small sand mound. They comprised a pair of single-scaled brass oval brooches, eleven links of a brass chain, probably the connecting chain of the oval brooches, a circular ornament of bronze, a bronze strap, a penannular brooch of bronze of Celtic type, a buckle and belt-mounting of bronze, a fusiform bead of amber, a possible iron knife and portions of an iron socketed spearhe…
A Roman visor helmet recently discovered near Nijmegen, Holland
The beautiful visor helmet illustrated in plates VI and VII is a recent addition to the fine collection of Roman antiquities belonging to Mr. G. M. Kam of Nijmegen, Holland, to whom I am indebted for photographs and detailed particulars. The helmet was recovered from a gravel-bed on the left bank of the river Waal below Nijmegen. In the inside of the helmet among the clay and gravel lay a pair of bronze cheek-pieces overlaid with silver, which mu…
On recent Scandinavian Grave-finds from the Island of Oronsay, and from Reay, Caithness, with Notes on the Development and Chronology of the Oval Brooch of the Viking Time
A detailed account of the objects recovered from Carn nan Bharraich clearly state that the objects including brooches, shears and a probable dress fastener must have been buried with a female. The oval brooches in particular are definitively Viking. A skeleton at Reay was buried with a pair of oval brooches, a bridle-bit of iron, a\r\nbronze pin and buckle, a spindle-whorl of stone, an iron buckle and a small cross of the same metal. The oval bro…
Notes on some Undescribed Objects from the Roman Fort at Newstead, Melrose
Excavation of the South Annex took place after the main body of work and only limited information was included in the publication. This article provides further details of a range of objects including part of a leather chamfron (for protection of a horse's head), a bronze cooking pot, an oak wheel and a stone mortar. The majority are dated to the Antonine period
Roman and Native Remains in Caledonia
The written history of the Roman operations in Caledonia is incomplete and shadowy. In the Agricola the legions march across the stage fighting victoriously, but the natives, except in the battle of Mons Graupius, hardly emerge from the forests and the marshes. In recent years not a little has been done to shed clearer light on the Roman campaigns. Roads have been traced, remains of forts have been recovered and laid bare, periods of occupation h…
