THE NEOLITHIC AND LATE IRON AGE POTTERY FROM POOL, SANDAY, ORKNEY An archaeological and technological consideration of coarse pottery manufacture at the Neolithic and Late Iron Age site of Pool, Orkney, incorporating X-Ray Fluorescence, Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometric and Petrological Analyses 2 Volumes Volume 1 Ann MACSWEEN submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeological Sciences University of Bradford 1990 ABSTRACT Ann MacSween The Neolithic and Late Iron Age Pottery from Pool, Sanday, Orkney: An archaeological and technological consideration of coarse pottery manufacture at the Iron Age site of Pool, Orkney, incorporating X-Ray Fluorescence, Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometric and Petrological Analyses Key Words: Neolithic; Iron Age; Orkney; pottery; X-ray Fluorescence; Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry; Petrological Analysis The Neolithic and late Iron Age pottery from the settlement site of Pool, Sanday, Orkney, was studied on two levels. Firstly, a morphological and tech- nological study was carried out to establish a se- quence for the site. Secondly an assessment was made of the usefulness of X-ray Fluorescence Analysis, In- ductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry and Petrological analysis to coarse ware studies, using the Pool assem- blage as a case study. Recording of technological and typological attributes allowed three phases of Neolithic pottery to be iden- tified. The earliest phase included sherds of Unstan Ware.

PART 2: REGIONAL LOCATIONAL GUIDANCE FOR MARINE ENERGY 101 SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION TO REGIONAL LOCATIONAL GUIDANCE FOR MARINE ENERGY FOCUS OF THE REGIONAL LOCATIONAL GUIDANCE (RLG) FOR MARINE 100m. It is recognised that depths greater than 60m may be a current ENERGY economic/practical limit for seabed tidal devices, but deeper deployments may be viable. Wave devices are capable of significantly greater water depth deployment The Regional Locational Guidance (RLG) for Marine energy (wave and tidal due to the use of moorings. stream energy) has been prepared in support of the MSP Framework and the rapid increase in interest in the development of wave and tidal energy within the Tidal devices operating in water depths of less than 30m may be feasible in areas Pentland Firth. where vessel movements may be excluded or where development of the device results in a very low height requirement. The aims of the RLG are twofold: Bathymetry information has been obtained from UKHO admiralty chart data 1. Provide guidance to marine renewable energy developers on potential (Seazone). Given the age and limited sounding information used to form these areas of opportunity for future development and to highlight likely requirements for charts, it is likely that there are areas where the actual bathymetry may vary surveys, monitoring or interactions with existing uses that may be issues for significantly from that currently recorded. development. Tidal current information has been based on a hydrodynamic model operated by 2. Progress the marine spatial planning process in a way which enables Metoc based on a 200m rectilinear grid. The model is adequate for identifying the stakeholders and decision makers to respond to the rapid increase in interest in main resource areas but may be too coarse for the inter-island areas with narrow marine renewable energy developments whilst enabling ‘issues’ relating to other channels and poorly resolved bathymetry data.

The Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site: Research Agenda
The Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site Research Agenda The Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site Research Agenda Edited by Jane Downes, Sally M Foster and C R Wickham-Jones with Jude Callister Historic Scotland 2005 Published by Historic Scotland ISBN 1 904966 04 7 © Individual authors Edinburgh 2005 Project grant-aided by Historic Scotland, Orkney Islands Council and Orkney Heritage Society, with support from Orkney College UHI As advisers to the World Heritage Committee, ICOMOS has drawn up guidelines for the management of World Heritage Sites and for research programmes to promote and co-ordinate research in the area. In Orkney this important task has been carried out with the contribution of a number of partners. It has been a collaborative venture involving many experts who have generously given freely of their time. I know that Historic Scotland has been delighted to support the Orkney College UHI in organising and co-ordinating the production of this Research Agenda for Scotland’s ﬁrst archaeological World Heritage Site, The Heart of Neolithic Orkney. We very much hope that this Research Agenda will prove a model for Site managers throughout the world, as well as others dealing with the challenges and opportunities of their local archaeological inheritance elsewhere in Scotland.
