Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Publishes the project, carried out between 2000-2004 on plough-levelled sites around the fortified site of Traprain Law on the East Lothian coastal plain in south-east Scotland. The primary aim was to investigate the nature and economy of smaller enclosed settlements in an area of 150km² centred on the hillfort, and to establish the chronological relationship between these sites and the occupation of the hilltop. Subsidiary aims included exploring the extent of Roman influence and testing the effectiveness of geomagnetic survey in a region of complex geology.\r\n\r\nExcavations were carried out at six sites: three enclosures (at Knowes, Standingstone and Whittingehame Tower) were extensively excavated, whilst smaller-scale work was carried out at another three (East Bearford, East Linton and Foster Law). Geomagnetic surveys were conducted at 30 sites and cropmark sites in East Lothian were transcribed and mapped enabling the excavated sites to be placed in a regional context. | ||||
