The geophysical surveys included a substantial gradiometer and a smaller resistivity survey that aimed to characterise and explore the extent and survival of archaeology around the Craw Stane Pictish symbol stone (NJ42NE 35) and two other symbol stone findspots. The results showed several discrete anomalies; one of these was targeted by a small-scale excavation and proved to be a burnt Middle Bronze Age timber structure.

GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold, PhD. The interpretation of prehistoric iconography is complicated by the tendency to project contemporary male/female gender dichotomies into the past. Pictish monumental stone sculpture in Scotland has been studied over the last 100 years. Traditionally, mirror and comb symbols found on some stones produced in Scotland between AD 400 and AD 900 have been interpreted as being associated exclusively with women and/or the female gender. This thesis re-examines this assumption in light of more recent work to offer a new interpretation of Pictish mirror and comb symbols and to suggest a larger context for their possible meaning.

  • Newsletter Giving Much Information About This Amazing Find and How It Has Reached Us to Become a Major Display
    March 2016 Message from The President Off we go again! Another season starts at Elgin Museum, with a flourish, as we opened the Pictish Stone Exhibition featuring the Dandaleith Stone. There is a report in the newsletter giving much information about this amazing find and how it has reached us to become a major display. We have also had one of our busiest opening days on Saturday 26th March with over 350 visitors in the five hours we were open (details inside). Thanks to generous donors we approach this next year with enthusiasm and vigour. It is a huge boost to our morale to know that we have support for all we do for tourism, education, history and research and everything else we are asked to do. Beyond the Museum we still are active in education for all and also local projects such as Castle to Cathedral to Cashmere. And we have a busy season planned for 2016 with free entry continuing and an interesting programme of events. Dandaleith Stone Many thanks to all the volunteers who have continued their work over the winter period. Cataloguing, researching and answering questions are never ending but most interesting. Please do come along and give us some hours if you have an interest in a subject. And we are always looking for more volunteers to meet and greet our visitors.
