Abstract
Scot(?), Norseman and Gael
Iain A Crawford
1 - 16
[NF 824783]. A consideration of that part of the evidence from excavations at the Udal, N Uist, relating to the period around the Norse arrival. The framework for the study is provided by an examination of onomastic, linguistic, documentary and environmental evidence, and steady development through Norse stages into a late medieval lordship baile is demonstrated.
A preliminary note on certain small finds of Viking-age date from the Udal excavations N Uist
James A Graham-Campbell
17 - 22
[NF 824783]. The artefacts are: a gilt-bronze pin-head, probably from a penannular brooch, possibly made on site; a strap-end with Borre style ornament, dating c 850-950; a coin of Harald Hardrada, 1055-65; a decorated bone comb-case; and a bronze crutch-headed pin with parallels in 12th century Dublin and therefore not datable to 9th century as thought at Jarlshof. 14C dates provide corroboration.
Pict and Norseman in Northern Scotland
Anna Ritchie
23 - 36
Demonstration of a Pictish context for the Norse settlement, and evidence of peaceful commerce between invader and indigene, is illustrated not only from the excavated sequence at Buckquoy (Orkney) but from other Scottish sites. The non-turbulent overlap between cultures is explicable by similarities in Norse and Pictish life-styles and cultural development.
Scandinavian fortification in the British Isles
Eric Talbot
37 - 45
The problems of identification of Viking defences are discussed, and a number of small thick-walled towers in northern Scotland are proposed as having Scandinavian origins, like Cubbie Roo's castle on Wyre. D F R
Early Scottish castles of earth and timber - recent fieldwork and excavation
Eric Talbot
48 - 57
The lack of mottes in southern Scotland may be due to a preference for ringwork castles: a number of possible sites (particularly near Glasgow) are discussed, together with square mottes and those scarped from natural features. A list of earthwork castles is given to supplement and correct that of Simpson and Webster 1972 (see 72/1766). DFR Excavation of a timber tower-house on Barton Hill (Kinnaird, Perths) is described on pp 58-65 of same issue.
Some prehistoric sites in Scotland with medieval occupation
Alex Morrison
66 - 74
Intermittent medieval re-use, probably in times of insecurity, of sites like duns and hillforts merely indicate how little is known of medieval peasant settlement in Scotland, and attention should now focus on this problem, especially as the Manor Parish excavations showed that enclosed round huts could be medieval in origin. Though some crannogs were built in medieval times, no EIA examples seem to have been reoccupied.
