Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Draws upon six seasons of fieldwork at Milton and Airigh Mhuillin, in the middle district of South Uist, arguing that historical archaeologists should do more to expose the causes and long-term consequences of poverty. Explores the imposition of agrarian capitalism in the Isle of South Uist from the late 18th century, and makes the case that a system of landholding and land use that privileged profit for landowners over the subsistence needs of the mass of the population created a fragile economy that was prone to shortages and completely unable to respond to the challenge of a prolonged famine. | |
