Buckquoy, Orkney
An increase in knowledge is usually beneficial but can also highlight misapprehensions of existing data. Such is the case for the Pictish-Norse transition in Northern Scotland in the later first millennium AD. New radiocarbon dates from the key ‘transitional’ settlement of Buckquoy, Orkney, reveal that traits previously published as indicative of incoming Norse influence pre-date the start of the Viking Age, suggesting a greater level of endogeno…

Vikings in Scotland
This book provides a full overview of the archaeology of the Vikings in Scotland, incorporating many results from the recent period of intense fieldwork and excavation. This work has necessitated a thorough re-appraisal of our knowledge of the process, nature and extent of Scandinavian settlement in Scotland. Concentrating on the Viking and Late Norse periods which span the eight to thirteenth centuries in northern and western Scotland, the chron…
Furnishing an Early Medieval Monastery
This paper describes and discusses the significance of a number of metalwork and glass finds from the important early medieval monastery on the island of Iona, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The finds mainly come from previously unpublished excavations, especially those by Charles Thomas from 1956–63. They include unique items such as an 8th-century lion figurine, and a 12th-century human head, both in copper alloy. These finds attest, for the first …
The nature of the feast
In Early Medieval Northern Europe, food was more than mere sustenance. Rather, dietary choices were used to define and manipulate identity and shape power politics. Using the Norse Earldom of Orkney as a case study and commensality as an analytical framework, the authors explore how the archaeology of food, and in particular zooarchaeological evidence, can be used alongside near contemporary historical sources to better understand the political a…

A stranger in the dunes? Rescue excavation of a Viking Age burial at Cnoc nan Gall, Colonsay
The rescue excavation of a Viking Age burial from an eroding sand dune at Cnoc nan Gall, near Machrins on the island of Colonsay, has provided further insights into a cemetery that has long been known to exist in this area. The burial comprised a middle-aged male with associated grave goods, including a Hiberno-Norse copper alloy ringed pin, and an Anglo-Saxon type strap-end, and also included small areas of organic preservation including cloth a…

Excavations and Survey on Brei Holm and Maiden Stack, Papa Stour, Shetland
This report describes the background to, and results of, a short season of fieldwork conducted on Brei Holm, Papa Stour in the summer of 2000 ( Brady 2000 ). Kevin Brady led a small team from the University of Glasgow who conducted a topographic survey of the surface area and archaeological features on this small islet and neighbouring sea stack off the W of Shetland. In addition, three of the features recorded in that survey were examined in tri…
A Pictish burial and Late Norse/Medieval settlement at Sangobeg, Durness, Sutherland
Salvage excavation was carried out on an archaeological site, discovered during the North Sutherland Coastal Zone Assessment Survey in 1998, in dunes at Sangobeg, near Durness in northern Sutherland. The excavation, conducted in 2000, uncovered the fragmentary remains of probable Norse-period settlement, including stone walling, a hearth and occupation deposits that had been truncated by erosion. Sealed beneath the Norse-period remains was the bu…

Appropriately enough, Her Majesty the Queen of Norway takes primacy over Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, not only following protocol in such matters, but reflecting Shetland's close links with their Scandinavian neighbours.

A copper alloy pin from Urquhart Castle, Inverness-shire
The dating of a copper alloy pin with frustum head from Urquhart Castle, Inverness-shire, is discussed in relation to known parallels.Previous early dating of the type is questioned in view of the lack of examples from securely dated contexts.

Hofstaðir
This is the first output from a multi national collaborative project based in Iceland. The site is a substantial settlement or skali, which has been variously interepreted as a pagan temple or a ritualistic centre. It is clear it is a primary farmstead which played a major local and national role. The material culture (Batey) demonstrates the use of both the primary tool kit from Scandinavia and the modifications needed though life in a new count…

The chapel and enclosure on the Brough of Deerness, Orkney
Excavations took place at this site in 1975-6, followed by a survey in 1977, at the invitation of the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments, as clearance of turf and rubble had previously revealed a hoard of post-medieval coins. Further coins were found, which relate to the period after usage of the chapel had ceased: the group is interpreted in votive terms and related to accounts of pilgrimage to the site. The unicameral chapel itself had both a ti…

Simy Folds
EXCAVATIONS took place on the early medieval settlement of Simy Folds in Upper Teesdale, Co. Durham in 1976, 1979 and 1981 when three sites were examined. An adjacent peat bog was sampled and a radiocarbon-dated pollen diagram constructed. Each site consisted of the stone foundations of a single long narrow rectangular building with one or two small subrectangular buildings at right angles to it, arranged to enclose a yard. The sites lie within a…

Freswick Castle, Caithness
‘Rescue’ excavations took place at Freswick Castle in 1979. In two short excavations, despite much modern disturbance, it was possible to identify substantial structural elements below the modern Castle building, and some related occupation phases. The earlier occupation phases had pottery of the distinctive ‘grass-tempered’ type found on the neighbouring site of Freswick Links. This is conventionally dated to the Late Norse period (11th-13th cen…
