Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Discovered by the Southern Hebrides Mesolithic Project (SHMP) in 1989 the site has currently been subject to two seasons of excavation. The SHMP was established 1988 to provide regional study of Mesolithic settlement in the southern Hebrides, particularly to explore the relationship between Obanian settlement and narrow blade sites. Other factors of relevance include colonisation after the last glacial and the transition to agriculture in western Scotland, which have importance on a national, as well as a regional, scale. Excavations aim to acquire a series of lithic assemblages, excavated and analysed in precisely the same manner as other sites in the project, together with contextual information concerning site size, dating, features and spatial patterning. Evidence recovered included a large flint assemblage similar to other narrow blade sites, elongated pebble tools and prehistoric pottery sherds. Further interpretation is dependant on current post-excavation work. | |||||||||||
