Subjects under consideration in this volume range from Crimean war memo- rials, siege sites, through colonial architecture and experimental musket firings to Nazi concentration camps. It may at first be difficult to detect a unifying theme here, and indeed why should there be? One of the motivations behind this journal is to give expression to the broad scope of conflict archaeology, and at this we feel it continues to succeed. However, almost entirely by acci- dent a core theme can be seen to run through the majority of papers within these covers. That theme is confinement. It is most obviously present in Myers’ paper, An Archaeological Approach to Studying the Nazi Concentration Camps, but more on this later. Other papers which touch on the same theme are presented by Passmore and Harrison, who set out the results of a field survey of earth- works created during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944. Both deliberately exca- vated entrenchments and shell craters were utilised by troops during combat, thus creating microenvironments within the wider geography of the battlefield which both confined and protected. In some respects, the occupant of a shell- hole may share some experiences with members of a besieged garrison, inabil- ity to move freely outside of the defences, difficulties of communication with comrades, shortages of supplies and ammunition, the uncertainty of relief etc. Some of these issues are apparent in the two papers by Pollard which deal with the archaeology of siege sites. The earliest of these took place in 1560 when a Protestant force of Scottish and English troops invested the Catholic French citadel of Leith, close to Edinburgh in Scotland. The second, smaller scale affair centred on Fort William on the north-west coast of Scotland, where Jacobite forces kept the government garrison bottled up for several weeks in early 1746. One of the aims of both of these projects was to address the wider social aspects of conflict, focusing not so much on the combat itself but exploring the civilian and non-combatant experiences of conflict. Thus far, perhaps, Fort William has achieved the greatest success here, with evi- dence recovered for the civilian settlement of Maryburgh which grew up out- side the walls of the fort and was razed to the ground by the garrison prior to the commencement of the siege. In looking at the relationship between military and civilian settlements, coloniser and indigene, in the post medieval period, the Fort William project probably has more in common with the fron- tier studies taking place in North America and Canada than most of the research projects taking place in the UK at the moment. © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2008 DOI: 10.1163/157407808X382728 JCA 4,1-2_f2_iii-x 12/9/08 3:54 PM Page iv iv EDITORIAL In a paper co-authored by Pollard and Banks, the theme of confinement is clearly expressed through the investigation of defensive works on the island of Inchkeith in the Firth of Forth, not far away from the citadel of Leith on the shore to the south. The defences range in date from the 16th century up to the 20th, with hundreds of soldiers based on the island during the early part of WWII. It will not have escaped the reader’s notice that no less than three papers in the current volume have Pollard’s name attached to them. What this reflects is the amount of work being carried out in the field of conflict archaeology by the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology at Glasgow University, which over the past few months alone has completed the investi- gation of the deep dugout known as Vampir constructed by the British in 1918 just outside Ypres in Belgian Flanders and the evaluation of suspected mass grave pits related to the 1916 battle of Fromelles, in French Flanders. The pits were indeed found to contain the remains of Australian and British soldiers buried by the Germans after the battle and both governments have recently announced their intention to have these remains recovered and reburied in individual graves in a newly established cemetery. Continuing the theme of confinement is Grguric’s detailed study of colo- nial farmsteads in 19th century Australia, which the author convincingly argues are a reflection of the architecture of fear. Snead’s study of conflict and destruction again looks at the relationship between settlement and conflict, this time among the Pueblo societies of the south western United States. Straying away from our theme but no less valued for that are a very useful study of musket ballistics by Roberts, Brown, Hammett and Kingston (which was carried out by military personnel as part of an ammunition technician’s course) and a consideration of Crimean war memorials by Hughes and Trigg. Before bringing this editorial to a close the editors feel it important to com- ment further on Myers’ work on Nazi concentration camps, in which he explores the ways in which historical archaeologists can isolate the tensions between the past and the present and provide a nuanced means of explor- ing the processes which underpin memory and forgetting. There can be lit- tle doubt that the anthropological and archaeological study of incarceration and confinement, as expressed through prisons, asylums and prisoner of war camps is in the ascendant, with a session recently taking place at the World Archaeological Congress in Dublin and Anthropology News calling for papers on the subject. The editors are, however, particularly pleased to include a contribution dealing with concentration camps as we believe that archaeol- ogy has a vital role to play in our understanding of some of the key events of the 20th century, which included the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazi regime. JCA 4,1-2_f2_iii-x 12/9/08 3:54 PM Page v EDITORIAL v If ever there was time for archaeologists to engage with this material, then it is now. Any suggestion that Nazism was entirely snuffed out with the defeat of the Wehrmacht in 1945 is surely cast into doubt in the context of the thankfully limited resurgence of the neo-fascist British National Party (BNP) in the UK and disturbing news reports of racially motivated violence across Europe, some of which appears to be related to increased levels of economic migration. Nor is it just archaeologists who are becoming increasingly drawn to this difficult subject matter and the contested past embodied within it. The field of ‘Dark Tourism’ is a growing subject of study among geographers, and indeed may find some parallel with advances in the sub-discipline of conflict archaeology over recent years. The transformation of ‘dark’ sites such as con- centration camps and

THE family of the Stewarts is of great antiquity. The earliest accounts deduce them from a thane of Lochaber. But antiquity is ever involved in obscurity. However, we are certain that the first of them who reigned in Scotland was Robert II. surnamed Blear-eye. He was descended from Walter Stewart, and Marjory Bruce, daughter to King Robert Bruce. In the year 1371, Robert Stewart ascended the throne of Scotland, as next heir to King David Bruce the II. his mother’s brother. Upon the death of Elizabeth Queen of England, the succession to the throne of that kingdom opened to the family of the Stewarts, in consequence of a marriage alliance betwixt the royal blood of the two kingdoms. James VI. was the first of the race of the Stewarts who ascended the English throne. He had come to the throne of Scotland in 1567, and after the death of Queen Elizabeth, in 1604, he succeeded to the crown of England.

  • Scotland – North
    Scotland – North Scotland was at the heart of Jacobitism. All four Jacobite risings - in 1689-91, 1715-16, 1719 and 1745-46 - took place either entirely (the first and third) or largely (the second and fourth) in Scotland. The north of Scotland was particularly important in the story of the risings. Two of them (in 1689-91 and 1719) took place entirely in the north of Scotland. The other two (in 1715-16 and 1745-46) began and ended in the north of Scotland, although both had wider theatres during the middle stages of the risings. The Jacobite movement in Scotland managed to attract a wide range of support, which is why more than one of the risings came close to succeeding. This support included Lowlanders as well as Highlanders, Episcopalians as well as Catholics (not to mention some Presbyterians and others), women as well as men, and an array of social groups and ages. This Scotland-North section has many Jacobite highlights. These include outstanding Jacobite collections in private houses such as Blair Castle, Scone Palace and Glamis Castle; state-owned houses with Jacobite links, such as Drum Castle and Corgarff Castle; and museums and exhibitions such as the West Highland Museum and the Culloden Visitor Centre. They also include places which played a vital role in Jacobite history, such as Glenfinnan, and the loyal Jacobite ports of the north-east, and battlefields (six of the land battles fought during the risings are in this section, together with several other skirmishes on land and sea). The decision has been made here to divide the Scottish sections into Scotland – South and Scotland – North, rather than the more traditional Highlands and Lowlands.

  • Scotland ; Picturesque, Historical, Descriptive
    ITritjr mttr its Rrimtjr. HE sea-port and town of Leith, anciently Inverleith, 1 at the debouch of the Water of Leith stream, which flows through the harbour into the Frith of Forth, is nearly a mile and a half from Edinburgh. The town is a curious motley group of narrow streets, in which are numbers of old tenements, the architecture and interiors of which indicate the affluence of the former possessors. Although a place of considerable antiquity, and mentioned as Inverleith in David I.'s charter of Holyrood, the commercial importance of Leith dates only from the fourteenth century, when the magistrates of Edinburgh obtained a grant of the harbour and mills from King Robert Bruce for the annual payment of fifty-two merks. This appears to have been one of the first of those transactions by which the citizens of Edinburgh acquired the complete mastery over Leith, and they are accused of exercising their power in a most tyrannical manner. So completely, indeed, were the Town-Council of Edinburgh resolved to enslave Leith, that the inhabitants were not allowed to have shops or warehouses, and even inns or hostelries could be arbitrarily prohibited. This power was obtained in a very peculiar maimer. In 1398 and 1413, Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig, then superior of the town, disputed the right of the Edinburgh corporation to the use of the banks of the Water of Leith, and the property was purchased from him at a considerable sum. This avaricious baron afterwards caused an infinitude of trouble to the Town-Council on legal points, but they were resolved to be the absolute rulers of Leith at any cost; and they advanced from their treasury a large sum, for which Logan granted a bond, placing Leith completely at the disposal of the Edinburgh Corporation, and retaining all the before-mentioned restrictions.

ABSTRACT To mark the 300th anniversary of the event in question, this thesis analyses the first British attempt to conquer the French colonial city of Quebec. The expedition was a product of the turbulent political environment that was evident towards the end of the reign of Queen Anne. Its failure has consequently proven to be detrimental to the reputations of the expedition‘s commanders, in particular Rear-Admiral Sir Hovenden Walker who was actually a competent and effective naval officer. True blame should lie with his political master, Secretary of State Henry St John, who ensured the expedition‘s failure by maintaining absolute control over it because of his obsession with keeping its objective a secret.

As the concept of battlefield and conflict archaeology has evolved, so too has the recognition that battlefields are dynamic, yet fragile, archaeological landscapes in need of protection. The tangible evidence of battle is primarily identified by distributions of artefacts held within the topsoil, such as lead projectiles, weapon fragments or buttons torn from clothing; debris strewn in the heat of battle.

We aim to celebrate our shared history and archaeology and showcase the incredible heritage on our doorstep as well as the importance of protecting this for future generations. The educational and economic benefits that this can bring to communities cannot be overstated. New research is being carried out daily by both local groups and universities as well as in advance of construction. Highland Council is committed to letting everyone have access to the results of this work, either through our award-winning Historic Environment Record (HER) website or through our programme of events for the festival. This year provides a great illustration of the incredible archaeological sites that survive across Highland and the wealth of information that can be found there. Our two keynote talks illustrate this perfectly, highlighting the significance of Highland research to the wider, national picture. These lectures, held at the council chamber in Inverness, will cover the exceptional High Pasture Cave complex on Skye and the concentration of brochs within Caithness, showing how these sites have become a focus for community-centred research and identity.
