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.

  • Hotspots of Farm Business Diversification in Scotland
    Hotspots of farm business diversification in Scotland Jonathan Hopkins1, Carla Barlagne1, Lee-Ann Sutherland1, Keith Matthews2, Andrew Barnes3, Luiza Toma3 1Social, Economic and Geographical Sciences Group, The James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen 2Information and Computational Sciences Group, The James Hutton Institute, Aberdeen 3Land Economy and Environment Group, Scotland’s Rural College, Edinburgh On-farm wind turbine in Aberdeenshire Purpose of document This note forms an output of Research Deliverable 2.4.2 ‘How Rural Economies Can Adapt to Key External Drivers’, undertaken as part of the RESAS Strategic Research Programme (2016-2021). This work has helped to “…identify indicators of innovation and diversification”1. This note presents an analysis of questionnaire and public datasets to identify areas in Scotland where there is evidence of high levels of farm diversification activity (‘farm diversification hotspots’). The note describes the uptake of non-farming enterprises and income diversification in Scotland, focusing in particular on renewable energy projects and agri-tourism development. Key findings • Levels of diversification are high in the rural areas north of central Scotland: Argyll, Stirling, Perth and Kinross, Fife, and Angus. • Lanarkshire and Aberdeenshire have a high concentration of on-farm renewable energy schemes, in particular onshore wind projects. • Different types of renewable energy technology tend to cluster together. In addition to onshore wind schemes (found frequently in central and eastern Scotland), hydro developments are concentrated in mountainous regions and near the west coast, and solar projects have been developed in the sunnier east (e.g. Fife, Angus). • Evidence suggests that farm diversification into agri-tourism has taken place in accessible scenic regions and in areas close to population centres.

  • Claish, Stirling: an Early Neolithic Structure in Its Context
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 132 (2002), 65–137 Claish, Stirling: an early Neolithic structure in its context Gordon J Barclay*, Kenneth Brophy‡ & Gavin MacGregor‡ with contributions bySMFoster, D J Hogg, J Miller, S Ramsay, A Saville, J A Sheridan, C Smith&JBStevenson ABSTRACT The excavation of a long timber-built structure of the early Neolithic near Callander (formerly Perthshire, now Stirling Council area) is described. The remains appear to be those of a structure measuring a maximum of c 24m by 8.5m with roughly straight sides and curved terminals, both of which have entrance gaps. About 1m in from both terminals is an arc of five posts; the interior is divided into between five and seven sections by these arcs and by a further three to five transverse screens or lines of posts. The pattern of division closely resembles that observed at the Neolithic site at Balbridie, Aberdeenshire1, and it is argued that Claish, like Balbridie, was a roofed building. At both sites a central area unencumbered by many posts was created, and a relatively greater density of posts in the southern part of the structure perhaps indicates the presence of an upper floor. The relatively clear area contained two pits in which fires had been set, in one case on a layer of pot sherds. Similarities to other, but probably un-roofed, timber structures of the Neolithic of Perthshire and Fife are noted and it is suggested that there was an architectural ‘vocabulary’ in use in the early Neolithic in east-central Scotland. Thirteen samples were radiocarbon-dated.

  • Status Symbols: Royal and Lordly Residence
    Royal and Lordly Residence in Scotland c.1050 to c.1250: an Historiographical Review and Critical Revision1 Richard D Oram Abstract Academic study of eleventh to thirteenth century high status residence in Scotland has been largely bypassed by the English debates over origin, function and symbolism. Archaeologists have also been slow to engage with three decades of historical revision of traditional socio- economic, cultural and political models upon which their interpretations of royal and lordly residence have drawn. Scottish castle-studies of the pre-1250 era continue to be framed by a ‘military architecture’ historiographical tradition and a view of the castle as an alien artefact imposed on the land by foreign adventurers and a ‘modernising’ monarchy and native Gaelic nobility. Knowledge and understanding of pre-twelfth century native high status sites is rudimentary and derived primarily from often inappropriate analogy with English examples. Discussion of native responses to the imported castle-building culture is founded upon retrospective projection of inappropriate later medieval social and economic models and anachronistic perceptions of military colonialism. Cultural and socio-economic difference is rarely recognised in archaeological modelling and cultural determinism has distorted perceptions of structural form, social status and material values. A programme of interdisciplinary studies focused on specific sites is necessary to provide a corrective to this current situation. One of the central themes in the traditional historiography of medieval Scotland is that in parallel with the emergence from the late 1000s of an identifiable noble stratum comparable to the aristocratic hierarchies of Norman England and Frankish Europe there was an attendant development of new forms in the physical expression of lordship.

    25 Always chasing deer – further excavations at Buzzart Dykes and Kincardine Park and new excavations at Kincardine Castle in 2013 Derek Hall and Kevin Malloy Project background Previous excavations In 2010 initial fieldwork was undertaken at the parks The first phase of excavations at Buzzart Dykes in of Buzzart Dykes, Perth and Kinross, Durward’s Dyke, 2010 concentrated on a section across the western Angus and Kincardine Park, Aberdeenshire as part bank and ditch line of the park. This work indicated of a Master’s thesis at the University of Stirling being that the excavated section lay across a former entrance undertaken by Kevin Malloy (Hall et al 2011, Malloy into the park and that at this point the bank was et al 2013).

  • Parliamentary Returning Officers
    135 AGENDA ITEM [email protected] THE SCOTTISH OFFICE Home Department St. Andrew’s House Edinburgh EH1 3DG Telephone 0131-244 J-19 ’@ Fax 0131-244 Chief Executives of Unitary Authorities Electoral Registration Officers March 1996 Dear Sirhladam PARLIAMENTARY RETURNING OFFICERS 1. My letter of 6 November 1995 to Chief Executives of the new councils set out the position regarding parliamentary and European parliamentary returning officers after 1 April 1996 (copy attached, EROs only). The letter sought any comments about the councils the Department propose to recommend that the Secretary of State should designate as responsible for appointing a returning officer where a constituency covers more than one unitary authority area. 2. In all but 2 cases the Department’s proposals were acceptable to the councils concerned. In those instances where there was dissension from our proposals the Secretary of State gave careful consideration to the representations that were received from the councils concerned. He was not persuaded, however, that the arguments put forward warranted a departure from the general principles that had been followed and which were outlined in my letter of 6 November. As such, the Secretary of State has agreed that Orders should be made designating the councils, as proposed in my letter, as responsible for appointing returning officers where constituencies cover more than one unitary authority area for: a. existing parliamentary constituencies in the event of a by-election being held between 1 April and the date of the next general election; b. new parliamentary constituencies which would take effect at the next general election; and c.
