While every effort is made to keep them up to date, they should not be considered a definitive or final assessment of our properties. Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH DUN TELVE AND DUN TRODDAN BRIEF DESCRIPTION The monument comprises two broch towers that are sited less than 500m apart in the valley of Gleann Beag in Glenelg. Dun Telve stands near the river and about one third of its wall still stands to a height of over 10m. Dun Troddan is set on a terrace in the hillside a little further up the Glen. About one third of the wall survives to a height of 7.6m and it is very like its neighbour in structural detail. Each is accessible by a short walk from the road. CHARACTER OF THE MONUMENT Historical Overview • There is a rich and fascinating antiquarian and later history associated with the discovery and interpretation of broch towers/complex roundhouses as a whole. Early antiquarian drawings exist for these monuments: Alexander Gordon, about 1720; Pennant in 1772. These monuments attracted attention from an early date because they are so well-preserved.

  • Theory and Practice in Archaeology

    Theory and Practice in Archaeology

    THEORY AND PRACTICE IN ARCHAEOLOGY This book aims to show through a series of examples that an interpretive archaeology dealing with past meanings can be applied in practice to archaeological data, and that it can also contribute effectively to social practice in the world of today. Seven of the nineteen contributions included have been specifically written for this volume to act as an overview of the way archaeology has developed over the last ten years. Yet Ian Hodder goes beyond this: he aims to break down the separation of theory and practice and to reconcile the division between the intellectual and the ‘dirt’ archaeologist. Faced with public controversy over the ownership and interpretation of the past, archaeology needs a clear image of itself, be able to gain funding, win public confidence and manage the heritage professionally and sensitively. Hodder asserts that archaeologists cannot afford to ignore general theory in favour of practice any more than they can afford an ivory-tower approach. Theoretical debate is important to any discipline, particularly in archaeology, if it is not to become complacent, self-interested and uncritical Theory and Practice in Archaeology captures and extends the lively debate of the 1980s over symbolic and structural approaches to archaeology. It will be essential reading for students of archaeology and for those involved in, and responsible for, heritage management. Ian Hodder is a Reader in Archaeology at the University of Cambridge, a Fellow of Darwin College and a Director of the Cambridge

Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH JARLSHOF PREHISTORIC AND NORSE SETTLEMENT BRIEF DESCRIPTION Jarlshof comprises a multi-period complex of well-preserved stone structures spanning from the late Neolithic (about 4500 years ago) to the 17th century AD. It was first discovered in 1897 and partly explored from 1897-1905. It was taken into guardianship in 1925, and further excavations accompanied by consolidation followed during the mid-1920s to late-1930s and from 1949- 52. The monument is located at the southern end of Shetland, overlooking the sheltered waters of the West Voe of Sumburgh and lying on good fertile land on the well drained lower slopes of the sandstone promontory of Sumburgh Head. Sir Walter Scott is responsible for the site’s romantic name. CHARACTER OF THE MONUMENT Historical Overview 2500-1500 BC – The earliest occupation consisted of the fragmentary walls and hearths of two buildings and an associated midden (rubbish dump) at NE end of site. 800 BC – The first village was established by 800 BC. The village, which included a Bronze-Age smithy, was located at the E end of site The Bronze- Age houses have distinct cells formed by thick buttresses extending into the living space, and are a type that can be traced back well before 2000 BC in Shetland.
