Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, originally published in 1935, sought to reveal the significance of Scottish prehistory for the development of understanding of European prehistory. Written at a time of rapid accumulation of new relics and monuments and the insights from them, Professor Childe presented some important new data and made tentative conclusions for the future results from these finds. After an introduction to the geography of Scotland the book looks at evidence from cairns, tombs and stone circles and then addresses chronologically the evidence from Early Bronze Age to Late and onto the Iron Age, with a chapter devoted to forts, towns and castles. It ends with a discussion of what happened in the Dark Ages and addresses questions about the Celts and the Picts and the diversity of the peoples in Scotland.

Excerpt: ...bottom of which had been coated with a kind of chalky compound. The bronze situla contained burnt bones and the fibula, the bronze vase and pan lying outside it, while around were the remains of several earthenware urns, some of which had been used as cineraries." The discovery, fortunately, came under the 1 See British Barrows, p. 211. notice of Mr A. J. Evans, who, recognising the archaeological importance of these objects, lost no time in making a full inquiry into the circumstances. The result of his researches was a comprehensive paper "On a Late Celtic Urn-Field at Aylesford, ' which appeared in 1890.1 The conclusion to which Mr Evans comes, after a wide comparison of Continental ceramics, is that the Aylesford urns are "the derivatives of North Italian, and, in a marked degree, old Venetian prototypes."' The ornamentation on the upper of three bronze bands or hoops, which encircled the wooden staves of the pail, was almost identical with designs on sword-sheaths found in Oppidum La Tene, especially the famous one with three fantastic animals, like those so frequently represented on Gallic coins, and so well known to readers of lake-dwelling literature.2 The fibula (figs. 175 and 176) were also La Tene types. Another relic found in one of the graves at Aylesford was a double-handled tankard, which, in its art and style of manufacture, can be precisely paralleled, not only with the pail above referred to, but with another tankard (fig. 177) discovered in a cremation burial at Elveden, Essex. The bronze plates of the latter are ornamented with medallions in repouss/, containing triquetral designs of unmistakable Late Celtic art. But for further details of these remarkable discoveries I must refer readers to Mr...

Book excerpt: Based on lectures given at the Conference of the British Summer School of Archaeology at Edinburgh in 1954, this book, published in 1962, surveys the general field of pre-historic Scotland, five archaeologists each contributing chapters discussing the main aspects and problems that have presented themselves in specialised research areas.

Download or read book The Archaeology and Prehistoric Annals of Scotland written by Sir Daniel Wilson and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 841 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The zeal for Archæological investigation which has recently manifested itself in nearly every country of Europe, has been traced, not without reason, to the impulse which proceeded from Abbotsford. Though such is not exactly the source which we might expect to give birth to the transition from profitless dilettantism to the intelligent spirit of scientific investigation, yet it is unquestionable that Sir Walter Scott was the first of modern writers "to teach all men this truth, which looks like a truism, and yet was as good as unknown to writers of history and others, till so taught,—that the bygone ages of the world were actually filled by living men." If, however, the impulse to the pursuit of Archæology as a science be thus traceable to our own country, neither Scotland nor England can lay claim to the merit of having been the first to recognise its true character, or to develop its fruits. The spirit of antiquarianism has not, indeed, slumbered among us. It has taken form in Roxburgh, Bannatyne, Abbotsford, and other literary Clubs, producing valuable results for the use of the historian, but limiting its range within the Medieval era, and abandoning to isolated labourers that ampler field of research which embraces the prehistoric period of nations, and belongs not to literature but to the science of Nature. It was not till continental Archæologists had shewn what legitimate induction is capable of, that those of Britain were content to forsake laborious trifling, and associate themselves with renewed energy of purpose to establish the study on its true footing as an indispensable link in the circle of the sciences. Amid the increasing zeal for the advancement of knowledge, the time appears to have at length come for the thorough elucidation of Primeval Archæology as an element in the history of man. The British Association, expressly constituted for the purpose of giving a stronger impulse and a more systematic direction to scientific inquiry, embraced within its original scheme no provision for the encouragement of those investigations which most directly tend to throw light on the origin and progress of the human race. Physical archæology was indeed admissible, in so far as it dealt with the extinct fauna of the palæontologist; but it was practically pronounced to be without the scientific pale whenever it touched on that portion of the archæology of the globe which comprehends the history of the race of human beings to which we ourselves belong. A delusive hope was indeed raised by the publication in the first volume of the Transactions of the Association, of one memoir on the contributions afforded by physical and philological researches to the history of the human species,—but the ethnologist was doomed to disappointment. During several annual meetings, elaborate and valuable memoirs, prepared on various questions relating to this important branch of knowledge, and to the primeval population of the British Isles, were returned to their authors without being read. This pregnant fact has excited little notice hitherto; but when the scientific history of the first half of the nineteenth century shall come to be reviewed by those who succeed us, and reap the fruits of such advancement as we now aim at, it will not be overlooked as an evidence of the exoteric character of much of the overestimated science of the age. Through the persevering zeal of a few resolute men of distinguished ability, ethnology was at length afforded a partial footing among the recognised sciences, and at the meeting of the Association to be held at Ipswich in 1851, it will for the first time take its place as a distinct section of British Science.
