Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The promontory site was excavated between 1986 and 1990 as part of the Loch Olabhat Research Project. It was shown to be a complex enclosed settlement and industrial site with several distinct episodes of occupation. The earliest remains comprise a small Iron Age building dating to the middle centuries of the first millennium BC, which was modified on several occasions prior to its abandonment. Much later, the Early Historic remains comprise a small cellular building, latterly used as a small workshop within which fine bronze and silverwork was produced in the fifth to seventh centuries AD. Evidence of this activity is represented by quantities of mould and crucible fragments as well as tuyère and other industrial waste products. The site subsequently fell into decay for a second time prior to its medieval reoccupation probably in the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries AD. Includes sections on: A note on the Neolithic pottery; Haematite; Glass beads; Coarse stone; Environmental evidence; Radiocarbon dates. | ||||||||||||
