Abstract:		 The Rhynie Environs Project, directed by archaeologists from the University of Aberdeen and the University of Chester, is investigating the area surrounding a unique collection of early medieval Pictish symbol stones found south of the village of Rhynie, Aberdeenshire. This article summarises the historical background to the Picts and introduces the enigmatic symbol stones before describing the findings of the project. Evaluation trenches revealed a system of defensive enclosure boundaries, and within these, a ring ditch structure and evidence for one or more timber buildings. Some of the finds from the outer enclosure ditch, including a sherd of glass from an imported drinking bowl and fragments from a Roman amphora of the late fifth to mid-sixth century, imported from the Mediterranean, suggested high-status activity with fine dining and drinking. Detailed post-excavation work and further phases of fieldwork are planned. LD
