Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In 1985 a review of Scottish Neolithic studies from an outside perspective written by Ian Kinnes was published in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. The paper offered a discussion of the state of knowledge of Scotland's Neolithic at that time, reviewing forty years of excavation results. He was critical of what he saw as the parochial and derivative nature of Neolithic studies in Scotland. The paper discusses the response to this charge; a review of major developments in Neolithic studies since 1985 has also been undertaken, and the results of this are included. The impact of developer-funded archaeology and aerial photography in particular has generated new data not available in 1985; these data have been generated within a new theoretical climate in Neolithic studies, and this too is addressed. Review of evidence for settlement and monuments are presented as case studies to exemplify progress made since 1985. | ||||
