Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Describes the findings of a project which investigated prehistoric rock art sites in the Kilmartin region of Argyll, Scotland, which has the densest concentration of such sites known in the UK. The work focused on ascertaining the age of the rock art and the kinds of activities associated with it. Excavations recovered a great many lithic artefacts, including significant numbers of deliberately used or struck quartz pieces. Subsequent experiment showed that both the shattered quartz and the hand-sized pebbles represented the residue from rock art making. Radiocarbon dates obtained from excavated material at Tiger Rock suggested a later Neolithic date for the rock art, whilst dates from Lion Rock indicated that art production also occurred in the late Bronze Age. A date of around the fifth to seventh centuries AD was also obtained from Tiger Rock. Environmental research conducted at Stirling University demonstrated that the prehistoric rock art was made in active regions of cultivation and was thus part of an animate landscape rather than being static and mysterious.
