Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This chapter reviews the results of field survey undertaken between Strathnairn and the coast of the Moray Firth. This crossed the densest distribution of Clava Cairns, including those at Balnuaran and Newton of Petty. After a review of the field methodology and the lithic raw material available in the area, this account compares the character, distribution and density of surface finds in a number of natural zones. It also identifies an important change in the character of land use after the Mesolithic period. The areas that saw most activity in the Neolithic and early Bronze Age were the edges of a freshwater wetland on the coastal plain and the gravels of Strathnairn. There was more limited activity close to the spring on Drummossie Muir and at certain points along the coast. The distribution of surface artefacts is very closely related to that of Clava Cairns, suggesting that most of these monuments were constructed in the heart of the domestic landscape. | |||||||||
