Abstract:		 Account of the discovery and excavation of a site comprising a scatter of pits or post-holes, including a rectangular arrangement of post-holes interpreted as a timber building. Pottery, worked stone and carbonized crop plants were recovered and the site is interpreted as a relatively short-lived agricultural settlement. Radiocarbon dating suggests an occupation date of between 3,500 and 2,920 cal BC. The report discusses the wider issues of the dating of Scottish Late Neolithic Impressed Ware and its relationship to other styles of pottery, the use of flint in Neolithic Scotland and the nature of settlement in the Neolithic. Includes sections on: Fieldwork at Kinbeachie (briefly describes the initial investigations, evaluation, excavation and analysis of the results), Dating, Pottery, Carbonized plant remains (including a large proportion of cereal crops (barley and emmer wheat) and other economic species), Worked stone (analysis of fifty pieces of worked stone, including a small polished axehead), Interpretation of the site at Kinbeachie (discusses the date and duration of activity, the nature and function of the site, and the local Neolithic context), Wider implications of the site: Scottish Neolithic Impressed Wares, Wider implications of the site: the use of flint
