Abstract:		 The paper draws attention to the human bodies and body parts that are found consistently, if in small numbers, in Atlantic roundhouses, wheelhouses and other Iron Age settlement forms in Atlantic Scotland. It is argued that these have remained unsynthesised and that individual assemblages have tended to be interpreted on a site-specific basis, if at all. Examination of the material as a corpus suggests a complex and evolving set of attitudes to the human body, its display, curation and disposal, and that it is improbable that any single interpretation (such as excarnation, retention of war trophies, or display of ancestral relics) will be sufficient. Although the specific practices remain diverse and essentially local, certain concerns appear common to wider areas, and some, for instance the special treatment accorded to the head, have resonances beyond Iron Age Britain. Includes French, Spanish and German summaries.
