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.

  • Quern Replacement and the Origin of the Broths Seamas Caulfield”
    Quern replacement and the origin of the broths Seamas Caulfield” Ever since the broths of the Atlantic Province captured the interest of antiquarians in the last century one of the unanswered questions has been the area in which this unified building and defence tradition originated. In modern studies archaeologists such as Childe (1935) and Hamilton (1968) argued that the concentration of broths in the northern sub-Province indicated that there was the most likely area of origin. MacKie (1965; 1971; 1972) has however argued in a number of papers that the origin of the broths lies in the west where they developed under the stimulus of southern English migrants arriving in the Hebrides in the 1st~century BC. As evidence of this immigration one of the new exotic artefacts which MacKie derives from the Wessex area is the flat rotary querns which he contrasts with the Beehive querns of Southern Scotland and which he sees as clear imports from the south of England. It is intended to deal elsewhere with the absence of any link between the querns of Wessex and those of the Hebrides and the implications of this for the English migrants hypothesis. However a study of the more fundamental contrast between broths with saddle querns and those with rotary querns appears to offer a better basis for estab- lishing the claim of the western or northern area within the Atlantic Province as the area of origin of the broth. One of the merits of the quern as an object of study in this regard is that it is prob- ably the most imperishable and ubiquitous artefact associated with the broths.

  • A Census of the Atlantic Puffins Fratercula Arctica Breeding on Orkney in 2016

Abstract Atlantic Puffins Fratercula arctica were counted at all known colonies in Orkney (excluding Sule Skerry) during the 2016 breeding season. Counts of individuals (IND) were made during pre-laying and incubation at all 20 sites and at six sites where burrows where physically accessible. In 2016 the Atlantic Puffin population of Orkney was estimated to be 6,675 breeding pairs (based on the counts of apparently occupied burrows [AOB] where available, and assuming that one individual represented one breeding pair for the other sites). AOB counts were higher than the IND counts at all six colonies where both methods were used. Previous Orkney Atlantic Puffin population estimates of breeding pairs were mostly based on counts of individuals on land (INDL) made during late incubation and chick rearing. While caution must be used when comparing INDL counts between years the results suggest a decline in line with studies of other Northern Isles colonies. Introduction The Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica (hereafter ‘Puffin’) is a rocky crevice and burrow nesting seabird, whose range is restricted to the cold waters of the North Atlantic (Harris & Wanless 2011). Due to the Puffins’ nesting habits, often in remote or inaccessible locations, accurately determining their population size is difficult.
