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.

  • Soft Rock 5-Resolis.Pdf
    Soft Rock 5 Project 2 Resolis Friendship Group Introduction Over several months during 2015 five groups of older adults based on the Black Isle took part in Soft Rock 5, the latest in a series of outreach projects organised by Groam House Museum, Rosemarkie. Working with Inverness-based textile artist Ruth Black, each group learnt the art of felting, and using various techniques completed their own unique wall hanging using the work of George Bain and the imagery found on local Pictish Stones as inspiration. Over the later part of 2015 the five banners were exhibited in various locations locally, finishing their journey on display at Celtic Connections Festival 2016 in Glasgow. Thanks must go to the group leaders, volunteers and participants whose enthusiasm and commitment made the project such a success, and without whom these beautiful pieces would not exist. The project was made possible by funding from Heritage Lottery, Museums Galleries Scotland and the Highland Council Wendy Sanders Groam House Museum Project Co-ordinator Groam House Museum - Rosemarkie The second wall hanging This felt panel was made by a team of volunteers from Resolis Friendship Group under the guidance of textile artist Ruth Black. This album shows the various stages that we went through in creating the wall hanging over five action packed days working in the Resolis Memorial Hall. The wall hanging design was inspired by the work of George Bain, who in turn was inspired by the complex Pictish and Celtic designs of the early Christian and pre-Christian sculptured stone monuments that abound in the north and east of Scotland.

    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.

  • The Date and Context of the Glamis, Angus, Carved Pictish Stones Lloyd Laing*
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 131 (2001), 223–239 The date and context of the Glamis, Angus, carved Pictish stones Lloyd Laing* ABSTRACT The widely accepted eighth-century dating for the Pictish relief-decorated cross-slabs known as Glamis 2 and Glamis 1 is reviewed, and an alternative ninth-century date advanced for both monuments. It is suggested that the carving on front and back of Glamis 2 was contemporaneous, and that both monuments belong to the Aberlemno School. GLAMIS 2 DESCRIPTION The Glamis 2 stone (Allen & Anderson’s scheme, 1903, pt III, 3–4) stands in front of the manse at Glamis, Angus, and its measurements — 2.76 m by 1.5 m by 0.24 m — make it one of the larger Class II slabs. It is probably a re-used Bronze Age standing stone as there appear to be some cup- marks incised on the base of the cross face. Holes have been drilled in the relatively recent past at the base of the sides, presumably for support struts. Viewed from the front (cross) face the slab is pedimented, the ornament being partly incised, partly in relief (illus 1). The cross is in shallow relief, has double hollow armpits and a ring delimited by incised double lines except in the bottom right hand corner, where the ring is absent. It is decorated with interlace, with a central interlaced roundel on the crossing. The interlace on the cross-arms and immediately above the roundel is zoomorphic. At the top of the pediment is a pair of beast heads, now very weathered, with what may be a human head between them, in low relief.

  • A Learning Resource for Teachers of Curriculum for Excellence Level 2
    A learning resource for teachers of Curriculum for Excellence Level 2 A learning resource for teachers i Introduction The Picts are one of Scotland’s greatest mysteries: an apparently vanished nation, chronicled by others but not by themselves. The Picts speak to us only through their inspiring creativity – their marvellous carved stones, their monumental hillforts and their beautiful jewellery. This resource will aim to provide an introduction to a topic rich in imagination, creativity and enquiry. Through discovery, exploration and sharing, teachers can engage young people by inspiring curiosity and inviting them to investigate this hidden part of their history and the evidence it has left in our culture and environment. The resource will act as a portal to enable the discovery of local sites and resources, integrating them with national learning resources such as SCRAN. This resource aims to: • inspire and encourage practitioners to engage with this fascinating topic; • bring the early historic Picts alive through a series of classroom and place-based activities (particularly focused on the hillforts on Scotland’s National Forest Estate); • encourage teachers and pupils to explore their local museums, archaeological sites and historic monuments; and to • promote the active engagement of schools with the wealth of historic and archaeological learning resources available both online and in print. With the help and support of: iii The Picts Contents Page Introduction i How to use this resource 2 Curriculum for Excellence 3 Outdoor Learning 5 Introducing the Picts 8 Who were the Picts? 14 Finding the Picts 22 Creative Picts 34 Pagan Picts? 41 What have you discovered about the Picts? 51 Further Resources 52 A learning resource for teachers 1 How to use this resource Teachers and pupils can use this resource in a number of different ways.

  • The Development of the Pictish Symbol System: Inscribing Identity Beyond the Edges of Empire
    The development of the Pictish symbol system: inscribing identity beyond the edges of Empire Gordon Noble1,*, Martin Goldberg2 & Derek Hamilton3 Research The date of unique symbolic carvings, from various contexts across north and east Scotland, has been debated for over a century. Excavations at key sites and direct dating of engraved bone artefacts have Rhynie allowed for a more precise chronology, Edinburgh extending from the third/fourth centuries AD, broadly contemporaneous with other non-vernacular scripts developed beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire, to the ninth century AD. These symbols were probably an elaborate, non-alphabetic writing system, a N Pictish response to broader European changes 0km 500 in power and identity during the transition from the Roman Empire to the early medieval period. Keywords: Scotland, Pictish, symbolism, carving, language, writing Introduction The origins and evolution of writing are one of the most critical and transformative developments in world history (Innes 1998: 3). Writing revolutionises the forms and possibilities of communication, and has been linked directly to state formation in many different social and chronological contexts across the world (e.g. Goody 1968: 4; Baines 1995: 471; Postgate et al. 1995: 459; Papdopoulos 2016: 1252). In Northern Europe, the alphabetic systems of the Greeks, and Etruscan and Roman derivatives in the west, inspired new forms of writing, with vernacular scripts developing on the fringes of the Roman Empire 1 Department of Archaeology, School of Geosciences,
