Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A total of fifteen burials recovered from the site have been subject to a programme of osteological and palaeopathological analysis and radiocarbon dating, the results of which indicate that the burials date from the immediate post-Beaker period through to the later Iron Age. As such, a large proportion of them originated from periods poorly represented in the Western Isles in terms of funerary remains. The paper provides an overview of the new research on the Northton burials, and places the findings within the broader context of contemporary funerary practices in the Western Isles. | ||||||||
