Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Ardnamurchan Transitions Project was established in 2006 in order to explore transitions in human society and the long-term landscape use of Swordle Bay and the wider area. The bay is situated on the west Ardnamurchan peninsula in north-west Scotland. The initial focus of the project was the Scheduled Neolithic chambered cairn of Cladh Aindreis. Subsequent excavation and survey work is outlined, including the preliminary investigation of a mound that seemed likely to be a clearance cairn. In 2011 this mound was revisited and was found to represent a Viking boat burial. Although there was very poor survival of human remains, numerous metal artefacts were recovered, some with mineralised organic remains attached. These included well over two hundred rivets from the boat itself, many in situ. The findings are described in detail, and the site is discussed in its wider context. LD | ||||||||
