  • Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of Archaeology Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey by Donovan William Hawley Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2017 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Archaeology Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey Donovan William Hawley Although prehistoric megalithic monuments dominate the landscape of Guernsey, these have yielded little information concerning the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Early Bronze Age communities who inhabited the island in a broader landscape and maritime context. For this thesis it was therefore considered timely to explore the alternative material culture resource of worked flint and stone archived in the Guernsey museum. Largely ignored in previous archaeological narratives on the island or considered as unreliable data, the argument made in this thesis is for lithics being an ideal resource that, when correctly interrogated, can inform us of past people’s actions in the landscape. In order to maximise the amount of obtainable data, the lithics were subjected to a wide ranging multi-method approach encompassing all stages of the châine opératoire from material acquisition to discard, along with a consideration of the landscape context from which the material was recovered. The methodology also incorporated the extensive corpus of lithic knowledge that has been built up on the adjacent French mainland, a resource largely passed over in previous Channel Island research. By employing this approach, previously unknown patterns of human occupation and activity on the island, and the extent and temporality of maritime connectivity between Guernsey and mainland areas has been revealed.

  • 2012 Council for Culture Conference
    Jersey Conference for Culture 2012 Julie Gibson, County Archaeologist, Orkney “The Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site: its meaning and value for tourism” Having looked at La Hougue Bie and the bronze coin hoard as examples of Jersey’s rich heritage, there was no question that a World Heritage site in thet Island was possible – the question was rather ‘did Jersey want it’? What was the balance between the bureaucracy which it brought and the opportunity to brag about the designation? Experience in Orkney was mixed. Orkney comprises an archipelago of 18 islands with farming at the heart of the economy, though recently there had also been a rapid expansion of interest in renewable energy. Historic Scotland run the World Heritage sites (with 1 ½ ranger posts) but simply regarding archaeology as a series of museum exhibits was not sufficient; making the most of it also involved ‘doing it’. There was no was no national support for ongoing excavation. However, partnerships had been developed with universities, and archaeology was a niche subject at the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI). A commercial unit which undertook work for developers subsidised the archaeology. The period of human occupation in Orkney was much more recent than Jersey’s, dating from the Mesolithic. Principal visitor sites were the Neolithic monumental sites which included buildings, burial tombs and villages with stone furniture. Sand blown sites like Skara Brae had been rediscovered after extreme weather conditions. Finds from later periods revealed the increasing wealth of the Bronze Age, discoveries from the Iron Age and later evidence of Roman trade in amphora, broaches and drinking glasses.
