Abstract
Barnhouse and Maeshowe
Colin Richards
444 - 448
Large scale excavation has revealed a substantial Late Neolithic settlement. One of the buildings is architecturally linked to the nearby passage grave of Maeshowe, where excavation and geophysical survey also took place. It is proposed that Barnhouse, Maeshowe and the Stones of Stenness are related and that the Orkney ritual landscape has an historic depth which was not previously recognised.
Aerial survey in south-east Perth
Gordon S Maxwell
451 - 454
Some of the work currently under way for the forthcoming survey of south east Perthshire is outlined. This cropmark-rich area has produced evidence for Neolithic and Bronze Age ritual and funerary monuments and for souterrains of more recent date.
Lairg
Roderick P J McCullagh
455 - 459
A road scheme has prompted the examination of a series of well preserved sites of various types and date. The sites studied range from a series of Bronze Age hut circles with contemporary field systems to an eighteenth century farmstead. Historical evidence for the later period -- including that of the highland clearances -- is also included.
Edinburgh Castle
Peter A Yeoman
Stephen T Driscoll
460 - 465
Excavations within the castle perimeter have produced a sequence of occupation running back to the Bronze Age. Out of a prehistoric settlement grew Romano-British and in turn Dark Age ones. The medieval defences are reviewed, as are finds of bodies (thought to have been those of soldiers of the revolution of 1688) and storage facilities built after the 1745 rebellion.
Paisley Abbey
John Malden
467 - 468
Excavation of the sewers of Paisley Abbey revealed not only fine rib vaulted masonry, but also the earliest music in Scotland (a polyphonic chant dated c 1450) and the largest collection of lead seals yet found.
Doughnuts and bananas: the Leuchars cropmark project
472 - 474
A recent air photography programme has revealed a variety of crop marks of an unfamiliar nature. Certain sites have now been excavated in order to reveal their nature. Banana-shaped marks turned out to be a form of semi-subterranean souterrain, whilst the doughnuts were Late Bronze Age structures.
Scar: a Viking boat burial
475 - 477
The excavation of a Viking boat burial discovered on one of the Orkney Islands contained three bodies and a variety of finds including a sword, arrows, a brooch, gaming pieces, a large bone comb, an iron sickle, and an ironing board.
