Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Re-examines the view that brochs of the Atlantic Scottish Iron Age are the products of invaders from the south, and proposes a new terminology reflecting a wider perspective and the extended chronology now seen. 'Atlantic roundhouses' include brochs, duns and galleried duns in both solid and hollow wall construction, from 8th to 1st centuries cal BC. Development is from simple to complex and towards height and monumentality. The classic broch towers are ?lst century BC, but their traits were current for the preceding two centuries. This development must be seen in its cultural and economic context, and through regional development of power structures, with individual farmsteads becoming more differentiated. Wheelhouses developed in the last centuries BC as the non-defensive structures of the Western Isles. | ||||||
