Despite the rich number of archaeological sites around mainland Scotland and the Orkney Isles that date to the transition period (c.4000 to 3600 BC), bones of humans and especially of fauna are rarely recovered. This lack of skeletal material necessary to investigate individual human diet has resulted in a gap in our understanding about dietary changes that occurred during the transition from a hunter- gatherer lifestyle to farming. One of the most widely used and reliable scientific tools available to investigate ancient diet is δ13C and δ15N isotope analysis; however, this technique requires samples of human bone and also a representative sample of bones from animals from the same spatial and chronological context as the humans to form an isotopic baseline. Studies of dietary change during the Scottish Mesolithic-Neolithic transition so far have largely relied on poor quality baselines to interpret the diets of the relatively small number of humans recovered from this period. A solution was therefore required in order to ensure that interpretations of dietary change during this time that employed stable isotope analysis of bone collagen were better defined and more secure. In addition to the problems of interpreting changes in the diet, there are questions surrounding the timing of the Scottish Mesolithic-Neolithic transition as well. The dietary changes were characterised by replacing marine protein with terrestrial animal protein, however we are uncertain as to how fast and complete this shift in diet was. There is long- standing debate regarding how important marine protein was in the early Neolithic diet. If marine protein was only a minor component of the diet, this would be undetected by traditional interpretations of stable isotope data. However, the radiocarbon ages of the bone collagen of these humans may be affected by oceanic 14C. Ancient marine derived carbon in human bone collagen is on average c.400 years older than terrestrial carbon, resulting in the need to correct the ages of mixed marine/terrestrial samples for this Marine Reservoir Effect. Undetected marine protein in the Neolithic diet would result in human bones being assigned radiocarbon dates that are older than the true age of the sample. An improved method of interpreting stable isotope data from bone collagen was therefore sought to address these questions of timing in the Scottish Mesolithic-Neolithic transition. δ13C, δ15N and δ34S isotope analysis was employed on human and faunal bones from Mesolithic and Neolithic sites predominantly in Orkney and the west coast of Scotland. iii Isotope faunal baselines were supplemented, where appropriate, with modern faunal samples. The abundance of marine and terrestrial resources in the human diet was modelled using the Bayesian mixing model, FRUITS (food reconstruction using isotopic transferred signals). Where marine protein was detected in the human diet, the radiocarbon dates of these samples were calibrated using the mixed marine/terrestrial radiocarbon calibration curve and compared against previously calculated dates, where these were available. It was possible to supplement marine faunal isotope baselines with modern marine samples; however, modern terrestrial samples were unsuitable analogues. δ34S was also found to be an unsuitable proxy for diet in this research. Small amounts of dietary marine protein were detected in the majority of Neolithic humans; however, marine consumption did not have a significant effect on the radiocarbon dates of these individuals. The key finding of this research was, therefore, that the transition from the Mesolithic lifestyle to the Neolithic in Scotland was a lengthy and gradual process, contributing to the debate regarding the nature of the transition. The chronology of the transition that has been previously established by radiocarbon dating is secure: while modelling the isotope data in FRUITS resulted, in most cases, in a greater age range in calibrated radiocarbon dates, they were not erroneously old, as initially predicted. iv Table of Contents Acknowledgements ............................................................................................................... ii Abstract ................................................................................................................................ iii List of Figures ...................................................................................................................... ix List of Tables...................................................................................................................... xiii Chapter 1: Introduction .......................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Introduction .................................................................................................................. 1 1.2 Research aims and objectives ....................................................................................... 1 1.3 Thesis outline ............................................................................................................... 3 Chapter 2: The Nature and Timing of the Mesolithic and Neolithic Periods in Europe and Scotland .................................................................................................................................. 4 2.1 Introduction .................................................................................................................. 4 2.2 Defining the Mesolithic and Neolithic Periods ............................................................ 5 2.2.1 Towards a definition of the Mesolithic period....................................................... 5 2.2.2 Defining the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition ......................................................... 6 2.2.3 Defining the Neolithic period in Scotland ............................................................. 8 2.3 Drivers of the Transition ............................................................................................ 10 2.3.1 Climate change as a driver of the transition ........................................................ 10 2.3.2 Cultural change as a driver of the transition ........................................................ 13 2.4 Evidence of dietary change in the Scottish Mesolithic-Neolithic Transition ............. 17 2.5 Conclusion .................................................................................................................

  • The Paleolithic and Mesolithic Occupation of the Isle of Jura, Argyll
    John MERCER, Edinburgh THE PALAEOLITHIC AND MESOLITHIC OCCUPATION OF THE ISLE OF JURA, ARGYLL, SCOTLAND The occupation sequence about to be described has been built up from a dozen sites concentrated in N-Jura (Mercer, 1968-79).It is based on local land-sea relationships, site stratification, pollen analysis, drifted-pumice dating and radiocarbon assay.The paper 1 will begin with a discussion of the inter-linked shorelines and climate, then give an impression of the main sites and, finally, describe and compare the stone implement typology. Late Glacial habitat 2017 Jura is a vast island (fig.1) some 80 km (50 m) long.It rises to about 780 m (2500ft) Biblioteca, in the south and 470 m (1500 ft)in the north. Several recent papers have shown that W-Scotland was suitable for human habita­ ULPGC. tion from 11,000 or 10,500 BC. Kirk and Godwin (1963) described an organic level por at Loch Drama (Ross and Cromarty) which, with a C14 date of 12,810 ± 155 be (Q-457), had not since been overlaid by ice, although in a through valley.Kirk com­ realizada mented: "In view of its location on the exposed, north-west Atlantic rim of Scotland one would except ...an onset of milder oceanic conditions at an earlier date than localities in the English Lowlands or the North European Plain." He concluded his Digitalización contribution: " ... it would appear that in Northern Scotland the process of degla­ ciation was not unlike that established for Scandinavia, namely an early and rapid autores. los melt of the ice in western fjords and a longer survival in uplands east of the Atlantic watershed.The significance of such a possibility for plant, animal and human coloni­ sation needs no stressing." documento, Del Coope (summarised in Pennington, 1974), working on beetle remains, noted that © early in Zone I (12,380-10,000 BC) there was a rapid rise in temperature, from less than 10° C as a July average to almost 17° C, though winters may have remained cold.

    Stone Age to Iron Age KS2 Session 1 Time travel in the Peak District from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic Aims of the session The aim of this session is to explore the evidence of life in the local area from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic. Gather evidence in the gallery to create a video back at school about life in the Mesolithic times. Curriculum links This session will support pupils to develop a chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of British, local and world history, establishing clear narratives within and across the periods they study. They should note connections, contrasts and trends overtime and develop the appropriate use of historical terms. They should regularly address and sometimes devise historically valid questions about change, cause, similarity and difference, and significance. They should construct informed responses that involve thoughtful selection and organisation of relevant historical information. They should understand how our knowledge of the past is constructed from a range of sources. A visit to the Wonders of the Peak gallery will contribute to both an overview and a depth study to help pupils understand both the long arc of development and complexity of specific aspects of the content.

  • Pumice in the North Atlantic
    Ocean-transported pumice in the North Atlantic Anthony Newton PhD University of Edinburgh 1999 Declaration I, Anthony Newton hereby declare that the work contained herein is my own and has not previously been presented for examination. Any contributions by others is acknowledged in the text. September 1999 ii For Keith Newton 1930-1984 iii “Some days we would pass through pumice lying in ridges, each piece uniformly the size and appearance of a bath sponge, then again we should pass through perfect fields of small yellow pumice spread evenly over the surface just for all the world like a green field of grass covered all over with buttercups, and the undulation of the swell of the trade wind produced an indescribably pretty appearance.” (Reeves, 1884). iv Abstract The overall aims of this study are to identify the sources of the widespread Holocene pumice deposits found along the coasts of the North Atlantic region and establish the ages of the source eruptions. In order to tackle this, it is necessary to determine whether it is possible to “fingerprint” the pumice of individual eruptions and link ocean-transported material with the established tephrochronological framework based on the stratigraphy of airfall deposits. Over 1500 electron probe microanalyses and over 200 Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry analyses have been undertaken on pumice and tephra samples. These are the first high quality grain specific analyses carried out on ocean-transported pumice in the North Atlantic. Current knowledge of the extent of pumice distribution in the North Atlantic region is assessed for both shoreline (natural) and archaeological contexts.
