Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
recent work in Loch Tay has resulted in 14C dating of the timber piles from thirteen of the eighteen crannogs in the loch, allowing them to be fitted into different classes. A major group was constructed in the Early Iron Age around 400--800 BC, with smaller groups constructed around 200--300 BC and 0 BC/AD. There is also evidence of repair/reoccupation of some of these crannogs in the sixth to ninth centuries AD. A number of the sites were also known to be inhabited into the recent past, with one, Priory Island, occupied until the seventeenth century. The dates of construction also raise important issues relating to the loch-level changes that have taken place. The 14C results are discussed in relation to the periods of origin and habitation of the crannogs | |||
