Abstract: |
Northlight Heritage undertook small-scale excavations at Luss, Argyll and Bute, and at Dalserf, South Lanarkshire, during September 2012. Excavation work was augmented by an auger survey conducted at Luss and a test-pit survey at Dalserf. The project, entitled 'Hunting Hogbacks' was designed to investigate the environs of both villages and provide some archaeological context for the hogback stones. Evidence of the post-medieval use of fields surrounding Dalserf as was recovered, although there was a surprising lack of finds relating to the medieval or earlier periods. At Luss we recovered green-glazed pottery of possible medieval/post-medieval date from both the manse garden and the glebe, and a trench excavated in the back garden of the manse contained the remains of a shallow ditch, probably relating to post-medieval cultivation of the garden. |
