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.

  • The Declining Pictish Symbol - a Reappraisal the Late Gordon Murray
    Proc SocAntiq Scot, (1986)6 11 , 223-253 The declining Pictish symbol - a reappraisal The late Gordon Murray SUMMARY The paper is mainly concerned with the three commonest Pictish symbols, the crescent, the double disc with Pictish the Z-rod and 'elephant' 'beast'.BStevensonR or K ideasDr The of and Dr I Henderson are outlined, namely that for each of these symbols a stylistic 'declining sequence' can be traced that corresponds approximately to a chronological sequence, enabling the probable place of origin of the symbol to be determined. The forms and distributions of the three symbols are examined in detail and it is argued that the finer examples of each are centred in different areas. For reasons which are stated, the classification of the crescent differs here from that made by Stevenson. The different decorative forms show significantly different distributions originthe but appears be to north. far most The the typicalin examples Z-rodthe of accompanying doublethe discfoundare predominantly in Aberdeenshire, where it is suggested that the symbol may have originated. Examples Pictishthe of beast hereare graded according extentthe to that their features correspond otherwiseor with lista whatof 'classical' the appear be to features form. distributionofthe The and general quality existingof examples suggest that originthe centre thisof symbol probablyis the in area Angusof easternand Perthshire. The paper also discusses arrangementthe symbolsthe of statements, in with some tentative remarks on the relative chronology of the mirror appearing alone as a qualifier. INTRODUCTION principle Th e declininth f eo g symbo thas i l t there existe prototypda r 'correcteo ' forr mfo at least some of the Pictish symbols, to which all surviving instances approximate in varying degrees, but from which later examples tend to depart more than earlier ones.

This is in addition to about the same number, dealing with the traditions^ superstitions, general history, and social condition of the Highlands, and mostly prepared after business hours in the course of an active private and public life, including my editorial labours in connection with the Celtic Maga- zine and the Scottish Highlander. This is far more than has ever been written by any author born north of the Grampians and whatever may be said ; about the quality of these productions, two agreeable facts may be stated regarding them.

Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Cynthia Thickpenny University of Glasgow, 21 September 2017 The following paper, Decorative Minutiae in the Pictish Social Landscape, is an essay assignment submitted by the author on March 23, 2012 at the University of Glasgow, for her second-semester specialism course in the M.Litt. in Medieval Scottish Studies. It was reviewed by one internal and two external markers, and received an A mark. It is uploaded here in its original, uncorrected state. The author wrote this paper under the supervision of Katherine Forsyth, who suggested the topic and set the author the task of identifying a relative chronology of how stone-carved Pictish symbols related to each other in their detailed, formal aspects, first in clusters on single sites, and from there in a wider geographical spread across larger regions within Pictland. In addition, the author herself also identified and explored another, parallel avenue of study: how the Picts signaled social and political links on individual sites and across the wider landscape through deliberate manipulation of variable symbol decoration on their carved stone monuments.

Apart from numerical correction there are other ways in which the Table can be made more useful. There is no doubt that his inclusion of monument statistics for the non-Pictish area makes the lack of symbol-bearing monuments there an impressive blank on the Table, which shows clearly the national character of the symbolism. unfortunates i t I , however, that all-Scotland figures have been carried over by other writers into discussion concernin e developmength purele th f o yt Pictish monuments.

The megalithic sites surveyed during the August of 1909 are scattered ove a districr f unusuallo t y wide exten d mountainouan t s character, of which the interesting little town of Aberfeldy may be called the centre, though not strictly so in the topographical sense, but rather aa moss t convenient headquarters. Portion e districth f o st near Aberfeldy were previously visited descriptiond an , e siteth sf o stherei n have appeared in the two Reports preceding this one. But in a district so richly megalithi s somca e part f thio s s well-nigs arei t i , h impossible in a single month to overtake all the sites, partly because the personal knowledge of local residents comes in as an important factor in enlarging the list of sites prepared by consulting the records on the Ordnance Maps. In a general way, the district now to be reported on may be described as extending from Kinloch-Kannoch, fourteen miles nearly N.W. of Aberfeldy o Airlict , n Strathbraani h , abou x milesi t s Wf Dunkeldo . , and from Tarragon f Aberfeldyo Moo .
