Abstract:		 Scottish crannogs are situated in wetland lacustrine or marine environments. While the so called `lake dwellings' situated in freshwater environments have been the focus of considerable attention, those sites located in marine environments, especially Scottish firths, have not as yet been the subject of detailed analysis. Such sites along firths may have acted as nodal points in postulated networks of coastal transport, exchange and trade. This book sets out to examine the archaeological potential and palaeoenvironmental significance of the remains of marine crannogs in Scotland. Three key areas of marine crannog research were identified and form the framework of this volume. The first was to record main site distribution, location and environmental change. The second objective was to assess the position of marine crannogs within the contemporary landscape and to evaluate how they relate to other sites in their regions. This has the result of integrating these sites into the archaeological landscape so that evidence of their function, from structural and artefactual evidence, may contribute to the reconstruction of past societies. The third broad aim of this work was to ascertain whether reliable dating evidence might be acquired from marine crannogs. Evidence is produced that is used to place the sites into their contemporary landscapes and the chronological framework of past societies. Appendices include a risk assessment; a report from 1936, and another on plant remains from Old Kilpatrick; results of an erosion survey of Redcastle; calibration results of radiocarbon dates; and data relating to sedimentary samples from Beauly Firth and Redcastle.
