Abstract: |
Reviews progress in Atlantic Scottish Iron Age studies, with particular reference to a long-term programme of fieldwork by Edinburgh University in west Lewis. Deprecates the survival and revival of older conventional models for defining and dating the Major field monuments in the face of accumulating evidence for the origins of Atlantic roundhouses in the mid-first millennium BC. Discusses new evidence for the first-millennium AD sequence of occupation and material culture. The material assemblages of the Hebridean Iron Age are contrasted with the poorer material culture of lowland Scotland and northern England, and the importance of the western seaways as a distinctive cultural region in later prehistoric and early historic times is emphasised. |
