Burnt Mounds, Unenclosed Platform Settlements and Information on Burnt Stone Activity in the River Clyde and Tweed Valleys of South Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire
Burnt Mounds, Unenclosed Platform Settlements and information on burnt stone activity in the River Clyde and Tweed valleys of South Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire. by Tam Ward 2013 Burnt Mounds, Unenclosed Platform Settlements and information on burnt stone activity in the River Clyde and Tweed valleys of South Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire. PAGE 1 Abstract Throughout the work of Biggar Archaeology Group’s (BAG) projects, burnt stone is shown to have played an important aspect of life in the past. Sometimes deliberately burnt as a method of transference of heat in the case of burnt mounds and where water was heated, and also in pits where dry cooking may have taken place, to co-incidentally being burnt in hearths and fireplaces during all periods from the Mesolithic to Post Medieval times. The recognition of burnt stone in the archaeology of the Southern Uplands of Scotland has been fundamental to interpretations by the Group in their voluntary work. The greatest manifestation of burnt stone appears in burnt mounds (BM), a relatively new class of site for the area of the Clyde and Tweed valleys, albeit now one of the most numerous. The subject of burnt stone in the general archaeology of BAG projects is also considered. Unenclosed Platform Settlements (UPS) are also a numerous site type in the area and perhaps are poorly understood in terms of their spatial distribution, chronology and function, as indeed are the BM. It is regarding these sites (BM & UPS) and their possible relationship with each other that this paper principally seeks to address.

Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment
Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a resource assessment Inheritance Mobility Although Neolithic populations are thought to have had continued mobility, more and more evidence for Neolithic settlement has come to light. In Buckinghamshire the most important evidence comes from excavations in advance of the construction of Eton Rowing Course (ERC) and the Maidenhead to Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS), mainly in the parish of Dorney in South Bucks on the Thames. The evidence points to intensive use of the area by people in the Early Neolithic but it is not certain that it represents year-round sedentary occupation rather than seasonal re-use (Allen et al 2004). Other evidence does point to continued mobility, such as the artefact scatters at Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham (Mitchell 2004) and East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990) for example, reflecting visits over a long period of time. Persistent places Mesolithic persistent places continue to have meaning for Early and later Neolithic populations. These persistent places include East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990, 18) and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age activity at Chessvale Bowling Club nearby (Halsted 2006, 23-8). Another persistent place seems to have been the lower reaches of the River Colne. Recent excavations at the Sanderson Site, Denham (Halsey 2005) continued the activity from nearby Three Ways Wharf, Uxbridge (Lewis 1991). Other persistent places include the attractive river valley location at Bancroft in Milton Keynes (Williams 1993, 5), and Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham, where the River Thame meets one of its tributaries (Mitchell 2004, 1). These persistent places may have been the basis of evolving ideas about land tenure. -

A Ritualistic Interpretation of Bronze Age Burnt Mounds from an Ethnographic Perspective
The Post Hole Issue 26 Something for everyone: a ritualistic interpretation of Bronze Age burnt mounds from an ethnographic perspective Alex Loktionov1 1Division of Archaeology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3DZ Email: [email protected] Burnt mounds are among the most enigmatic archaeological features found across the British Isles. This paper provides an overview of current theories regarding their use, drawing on ethnographic comparisons with societies of varying complexity in North America, the Urals and the Teotihuacán cultural complex. A new approach to research and interpretation in this field is illustrated through a case study of a Bronze Age section of Barningham Moor, Teesdale, Yorkshire, UK, in which a burnt mound is analysed in the context of monuments and landscape features surrounding it. This example is used to support the view that burnt mounds were inherently multi-functional, and had ritual meaning symbolising connections with nature and the spirit world that were in no way less significant than their practical use. Introduction Burnt mounds, also known as Fulacht Fiadh in Ireland, are widely distributed throughout the British Isles. They consist of two low ridges rarely exceeding 1m in height, and separated by a distinctive trough. The overall diameter of the main feature rarely exceeds 9m, with trough volume typically near 1m2 (Barfield and Hodder 1987, 371). Frequently the ridges are so inconspicuous that the entire monument can only be identified by vegetation growing over the underlying rock, which may differ substantially from the surrounding plant cover (Laurie 2003, 244). On excavation, such sites reveal numerous pieces of heat- cracked sandstone within the ridges, with the lithology indicative of repeated contact with water (Quinn and Moore 2007, 8). -

First Steps Towards the Detection of Contact Layers in Bangime: a Multi-Disciplinary, Computer-Assisted Approach
First steps towards the detection of contact layers in Bangime: A multi-disciplinary, computer-assisted approach 1 Introduction Bangime, a language isolate spoken in central-eastern Mali, represents an enigma, not only in terms of linguistics, but also with regards to their past ethnographic affiliations and migration patterns. The speakers of Bangime, the Bangande, live among and claim to constitute one of the Dogon groups that also occupy the rocky terrain of the Bandiagara Escarpment. However, there is little evidence in support of the Bangande being genetically affiliated with the Dogon or speaking one of the estimated 21 Dogon languages, nor of their being related to the neighboring Mande-speaking groups who inhabit a valley which stretches from the west and ends at the eastern edge of the Escarpment. Further to the north of the area where Bangime is spoken lies the vast Sahara desert, the southern borders of which are occupied by Songhai-speaking populations. Throughout the region are found Fula semi-nomadic herders who speak Fulfulde. Thus, we know that the Bangande have had the opportunity to engage in contact with each of these populations, but because there are no written historical records of their past settlement and migration patterns, nor have there been any archeological investigations of the western portions of the Bandiagara Escarpment where the Bangande are found today, we must rely on data from the present to reconstruct a picture of the past. Figure 1 illustrates the geographic positions of the languages represented in the sample with respect to where Bangime is spoken. Note that the points represent approximations; languages such as Fulfulde have a reach throughout the entire region and even beyond to bordering nations. -
Yendouma, a Dogon Village
The bush and the rocky peak called “the 3 Yougas”, opposite Yendouma village : the rocky peak shelters 3 villages: Youga-Piri, Youga-Dogorou and Youga-Nah. According to the legend, the first mask was introduced to the Dogons at Youga-Dogorou. 9 A small page of history and geography andiagara is the capital of Dogon. It is situated 75 km east of Mopti. This area is in the BSahelian zone* and consists of three natural environments : the plateau, the sandstone cliffs and the lower plains. Dogon life revolves around the 200 km long cliffs. It takes over two hours of chaotic and steep paths to go from Bandiagara to Yendouma. For a long time, the Dogons kept their independence because of the difficult access to this isolated and mountainous territory. In the 1940’s, the Dogon population became one of the most well known in Africa because of the French ethnologist * Marcel Griaule. His research and findings about the Dogon culture, both surprised and inspired European imaginations. 10 Summary Abiba Témé. 11 The Dogons n the XIV century, the Dogons left the Mandé region situated in south east Mali and Dogon Ivillages were established in the Bandiagara area. This was because of the Dogon people’s collective refusal to convert to Islam. On arrival, they found the Tellem people living in troglodyte dwellings. These cave-like homes, built in cavities in the cliffs were still intact. The Mali population is composed of 23 different ethnicities. The Bamaras are the largest ethnic* group, whose language is spoken by 80 % of the population. -
