Abstract:		 The paper presents new evidence for some of the foundation burials at the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age settlement of Cladh Hallan, on South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, having been mummified. The female mummy's knee (lower femur and upper tibia) was broken off prior to burial but long after death when the bones had lost most of their collagen. It is argued that new evidence from post-excavation analysis puts the mummification theory beyond reasonable doubt, and also refutes any potential interpretation that the burials were part of an earlier cemetery unconnected with the houses.
