Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Enough 14C dates (twenty-four from nine sites, all corrected for best half-life) are now available to suggest a provisional sequence for Scottish regional population groups from 700 BC to about AD 500. On this basis, the Abernethy Culture, represented by timberlaced forts like Finavon and thick gritty pottery, jet rings and armlets, dates from at least 7th cent BC. Covesea and Hallstatt finds in E Scotland suggest a N German stimulus for this culture, which became homogeneous and widespread, changing little apart from the introduction of iron in a late phase. Palisaded settlement sites in the Tyne/Forth province -the Hownam Culture - yield few artefacts, but their 14C dates start in 7th cent BC. For the Atlantic Cultures, 14C dates from Vaul (Tiree) of 6th-5th cents BC support apparent connections with French Urnfield pottery. Later on there are links with English pottery and bronzes of Iron A and B. Although the Atlantic pottery styles diversified, they remained interconnected by their association with brochs. Some 14C dates are also available for Norse and medieval material. | ||||||||||||||
