Introduces an issue dedicated to the connection between artefacts and sites. PP-B
Artefacts and sites; a long and problematic relationship
Rebecca Jones
Ian Ralston
1 - 13
A range of issues relevant to understanding and evaluating the relationships between artefacts and the sites and monuments with which they are associated is raised and illustrated with Scottish case studies.
The curatorial consequences of being moved, moveable or portable; the case of carved stones
Sally M Foster
15 - 28
Discusses issues surrounding interpretation of carved stone based on its degree of portability and whether or not it has been moved from its original position. Implications for how and if carved stones can be legally protected, who owns them, where and how they are administered, and by whom are considered. Au/PP-B
Finds assemblages from developer-funded archaeological investigations; making the most of our opportunities
Stephen P Carter
29 - 44
Discusses how to make the most of the widely differing assemblages recovered during commercial archaeological work. Argues that the current approach tends to reflect a 'one size fits all' philosophy from field recording and excavation techniques right through to allocation and transfer of assemblages to museums. Contends that whilst this production-line approach has the benefit of ensuring that certain minimum standards are met there is a need to discriminate and prioritise if we are to make the most of the opportunities provided by such assemblages.
Towards improved archaeological archiving in Scotland
Anne Brundle
45 - 56
Proposes information groupings that might be created relatively simply in the excavation, post-excavation or archiving process in order to make research information more easily accessible than it is at present.
SERFing in the Scottish heartlands; artefacts and the research strategy
Stephen T Driscoll
57 - 72
Describes the first phase (2006'“11) of the SERF (Strathearn Environs & Royal Forteviot) project and outlines the research strategy developed by a team of prehistorians and medievalists. Particular attention is given to its approaches to material culture and its role in providing a context for field monuments.
Mapping material culture; exploring the interface between museum artefacts a...
Trevor G Cowie
Peter McKeague
73 - 93
Describes the results of an exploratory project undertaken by National Museums Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland to enhance their respective databases through sharing information relating to their respective areas of expertise. The resulting MAGI (Museum Artefact Geographical Interface) project highlighted the huge potential for creating an online resource to re-connect objects in museum collections with the locations of their discovery.
