| Abstract: | Reviews evidence in the light of Renfrew's view that Arran cairns were territorial markers for egalitarian societies. Taking a wider view, that of the Firth of Clyde, and looking at other evidence for Neo activity and also the preceding Meso patterns, it is concluded that the Arran monuments arose from a long tradition of seasonal Meso resource exploitation. The island has several other special features and cannot be regarded as typical of Atlantic seaboard monument patterning. R Chapman provides comment (56-8), considering the Meso evidence in the Firth of Clyde insufficient to bear such weight, and asking how the postulated 'complex' foragers changed into farmers; the territorial model for Arran tombs cannot yet be dismissed. |
