  • Dougalston in Scotland’s Western Central Belt

    Paul Bishop, Coralie M Mills et al.ARTICLELandscape History2022

    Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century designed landscapes in the Western Central Belt of Scotland are relatively under-represented in the literature, despite this being an area with many estates that were purchased as country seats by wealthy Glasgow merchants in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. One of the wealthiest of those merchants was the Tobacco Lord John Glassford who purchased Dougalston Estate to the north of Glasgow in 1767. The lo…

  • Dendrochronologically Dated Pine Buildings from Scotland

    Coralie M Mills, Coralie Mills et al.ARTICLEVernacular Architecture2017Cited by: 1References: 1

    The SCOT2K project has extended native pine tree-ring chronology coverage for Scotland to enable reconstruction of past climate and for cultural heritage dating benefits. Using living trees from multiple locations in the Highlands and sub-fossil material from lochs, a network of five regional chronologies has been produced. The project has developed the application of Blue Intensity (BI), a proxy measure for maximum latewood density, which is fas…

  • Timber in Scottish buildings, 1450–1800

    Anne Crone, Coralie M Mills et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…2013Cited by: 2

    This paper examines the dendrochronological data from Scottish buildings in terms of the proxy evidence it provides for the timber trade and condition of the woodland resource in the centuries under review. The bulk of the timber used in the construction of high status buildings during this period was either oak or pine, imported mainly from Scandinavia and the countries bordering the eastern Baltic. The documentary record for timber imports in S…

  • Neolithic land-use and environmental degradation

    Open AccessCoralie M Mills, Coralie Mills et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2004Cited by: 6References: 6

    Investigation of a partially waterlogged Neolithic site, on an islet in a Scottish Hebridean loch, showed that early strategies of exploitation were already environmentally damaging. Loss of soil fertility through intensive ploughing is well-documented, but stripping the turf can be equally damaging to the environment. Working on the lake settlement of Eilean Domhnuill in North Uist, the authors show that turf was cut for building material and us…

  • Dendrochronologically Dated Buildings from Scotland

    Anne Crone, Coralie M Mills et al.ARTICLEVernacular Architecture2003Cited by: 1

    Les AA. proposent une liste de tous les bâtiments dates par dendrochronologie en Ecosse, incluant ceux deja mentionnes dans des publications anterieures. Ils donnent ensuite une breve description des bâtiments dont ils ont eux-memes realise la datation

  • Seeing the woodandthe trees

    Open AccessAnne Crone, Coralie M Mills et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2002Cited by: 2References: 5

    IntroductionThe value of dendrochronology as a precise dating tool is well established (Ashmore, this volume) and this paper concentrates on other aspects of its value to Scottish archaeology and history. Timber in Scotland has been a resource under pressure for a long time, and consequently the history of timber trade and woodland exploitation is particularly interesting. Scotland now has very restricted semi-natural woodland, representing about…

  • Sand Fiold

    Open AccessMagnar Dalland, John Barber et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1999Cited by: 2References: 27

    Sand quarrying in 1989 at Sand Fiold, Sandwick, in Orkney resulted in the accidental discovery of a rock-cut chamber containing a cist. Subsequent excavation revealed that this cist had a number of unusual features. The cist slabs had been fitted together exceptionally well and the completed cist was designed to be re-opened by the removal of a side slab. Within the chamber, access was provided to the opening side of the cist and a relieving stru…

  • The excavation and environmental investigation of a sub-peat stone bank near Loch Portain, North Uist, Outer Hebrides

    Coralie M Mills, Coralie Mills et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…1995

    Reports probing, excavation, microfossil analysis, and radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon dates indicate construction in the first half of the first millennium BC. Pollen analysis revealed contemporary poor heath-grassland with no apparent arable farming. Microscopic charcoal evidence indicates burning activity in the second millennium BC
