Crannogs and Later Prehistoric Settlement in Western Scotland
Author: Graeme Cavers
Publisher: British Archaeological Reports Limited
ISBN: 9781407306407
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
The focus of this research is on the later prehistoric period, from the earliest constructional origins of western Scotland crannogs in the late Bronze Age through to their apparent emergence as status dwellings in the Early Historic period after the midfirst millennium AD. The aim is to investigate the ways in which crannogs functioned as settlements, both on a practical, economic as well as a symbolic and socio-cultural level. Throughout, the primary concern is with contextualisation, considering crannogs within their correct chronological and cultural context through the critical analysis of dating evidence as well as the identification of the relevant ritual and symbolic themes- i.e. the Iron Age veneration of water. It is argued in this book that the stereotypical view of a crannog that has largely been derived from the results of work carried out on Irish crannogs has been misleading in the case of the Scottish sites, tending towards a view of crannogs as high-status strongholds, often as royal seats. Though crannogs were certainly a significant feature of the Early Historic period in Scotland, there is as yet no evidence of direct connections to royalty in this period and, based on the currently available evidence, the characterisation of crannogsas high status sites is misguided in the context of their late Bronze and Iron Age origins.

Book Description
Illustrating the relationship between animals and people, and the struggle to survive that many animals face day in day out, this book reveals how many types of animals are in danger of extinction as they are hunted for their skin, teeth and bones and how other species have become threatened because humans have destroyed their habitats. All sections of the animal world are represented, from butterflies, beetles and bugs to snakes and larger mammals - bears, big cats and elephants. The text explains what is currently being done to protect these endangered animals and how research is helping experts to understand what can be done to preserve them and their habitats in the future.
