An archaeology of dementia
Around the world, millions of people live with dementia. Archaeologists have advanced heritage engagement as a form of therapy, for example, through museum object handling. Here, the author proposes an alternative focus, arguing that archaeology can contribute to research on the materialities of care. Through a case study of a 'dementia assemblage' curated by an avocational archaeologist, the author documents the embodied and material traces of t…
(Uns)table assemblage
An abandoned table in a forgotten avocational workroom exposes the temporalities of archaeological practice and conventional lithic artefact analysis, and reveals creative encounters around the co-creation of self and stone
Tuesday Morning’, the schoolboy and Mann
The rediscovery of human remains, correspondence and other unpublished excavation archival material in the Glasgow Museums collection of Ludovic McLellan Mann prompted the reappraisal of a short archaeological investigation undertaken in April 1931 at Holm Park, near Ballantrae, Ayrshire, by a schoolboy, Eric French and his biology teacher, William Hoyland. This article offers a re-evaluation of their fieldwork which exposed two inhumation burial…
Iron Age occupation evidence from Port Lobh, Colonsay (Scottish Inner Hebrides)
Evidence of a new Iron Age occupation site is presented from a site located at the southern edge of a former tidal estuary in western Colonsay. A radiocarbon date of between the 1st–2nd centuries BC is significant in a regional context, being the first of this period from the island. Recovered burnt occupation debris includes cattle bone, marine (limpet and periwinkle) shell and ceramics along with a terrestrial snail shell and carbonised macropl…
Calling Time on Oronsay
For over 120 years, the shell middens of western Scotland and the series of open-air sites on Oronsay have been the focus of debate in European Mesolithic studies. This paper challenges the significance of Oronsay in light of results from the geophysical survey and test-excavation of a new limpet and periwinkle shell midden dated to the late 5th or start of the 4th millennium cal bc at Port Lobh, Colonsay that offers fresh evidence to re-evaluate…

Lithic artefacts, coastal change and the availability of flint pebble resources on Colonsay, Inner Hebrides
Over a 25-year period from 1978 to 2003 fieldwork undertaken for the investigation of coastal change on Colonsay discovered lithic artefacts in various locations. Significant new mound sites on the west coast of the island were identified; one is the first shell midden on Colonsay contemporaneous with those on neighbouring Oronsay. This article presents evidence of Mesolithic and undated prehistoric activity integrated with shore-line reconstruct…
Kid-knapped Knowledge
The identification of children as stone tool makers has afforded key insights into stonecraft, knapping practices and constructs of social learning, with wider lessons for the archaeological recognition of the child. Through a combination of assemblage analysis, ethnographic insights and experimental methodologies such studies provide powerful tools with which to explore the interplay of emergent and novice identities in various knapping techniqu…
Archaeologies of the beginnings of life
Events surrounding the beginnings of life often appear strange, shaped by mysterious forces, replete with corporeal transformations and hidden within. Bodies within bodies create curious conditions
Gender and Lithic Studies in Prehistoric Archaeology

Skill and the Substance of Stone
Examinations of lithic skill signatures in non-flint materials are conditioned by conventional approaches that have tended to emphasize the exotic and overlook the variability within a given raw material class. This paper considers approaches and implications for Arran pitchstone, a distinctive volcanic glass within the context of Scottish lithic studies. Case study material from later pre-historic sites on Arran is presented to highlight the val…
Forest grazing and seaweed foddering
A group of Early Neolithic features probably relating to the cooking of food was excavated. Several of these features contained considerable amounts of carbonised botanical remains, providing a broader insight into the landscape where these features were found. Analysis of the remains suggests that there has been a short phase of occupation, radiocarbon dated to 3780-3650 cal BC
Excavations at Dunure Road, Ayrshire
In March 2005, excavations were undertaken by Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division (GUARD) at the Craig Tara Holiday Park, Dunure Road, Ayr in advance of proposed development. Two main archaeological sites were examined. The first, a flat cist cemetery covered by an earthen mound, comprised 23 separate burial features of varying morphology from two separate phases of burial, including cists, pits and what has been interpreted as a …

E-scapes and E-motion
This paper aims to review and address some recent trends in writing about the Mesolithic and consider fruitful approaches for understanding the gatherer-hunter-fisher experience of 'scapes' (landscape, seascape, taskscape). Attention is focused on the narratives that result from our encounters with the archaeological record and a series of examples, drawn from Scotland and the rest of Britain, are presented that reflect on the treatment of variou…
Periodical Review 2000–2003
The Mesolithic in Scotland
This paper reviews recent trends and developments in the study of the Mesolithic period in Scotland and places them in their historical context. The last decade has witnessed a flourishing of research activity, not just in terms of discovery and excavation, but also artefact studies, dating programmes, and other types of research. The contribution of development-led projects is challenging traditional interpretations that have relied heavily on t…
Plant Use in the Mesolithic
Outside of life
The infant forms an ambiguous class of individual, located on the periphery of normal lifecycle events. This is often reflected in the character and choice of burial location. During the Historic period in Ireland the separate burial of unbaptised infants reused earlier monuments, particularly those with Early Christian associations. These cillini (children's burial grounds) were frequently situated in marginal locations and their identification …
The excavation of a Neolithic, Bronze Age and Early Historic features near Ratho, Edinburgh
Excavations near Ratho in early summer 1993 yielded evidence for Neolithic, Bronze Age and Early Historic activity on the site. Neolithic features consisted of a small number of pits containing fragments of carinated bowls; the Bronze Age funerary remains were more extensive, including a ring-ditch which enclosed two cremations in cordoned urns, and one unurned cremation. There were also additional dispersed cists and pits containing burnt bone, …

Excavations at Bolsay Farm, a Mesolithic Settlement on Islay
Bolsay Farm is a Mesolithic settlement on the Isle of Islay in Western Scotland. It is located at the foot of Benin Tart a'Mhill, 76m OD and c. 3km from the coast of Loch Indall in the Rhinns of Islay (NR 225573) (Fig. 1). The settlement was discovered in 1989 by the Southern Hebrides Mesolithic Project (SHMP) and has been the subject of two seasons of excavation. This brief report describes these excavations and our current interpretation of the…
