Archaeological investigations were undertaken at Quien, Isle of Bute in 2010 as part of the Discover Bute Landscape Partnership Scheme. Excavations demonstrated that a putative early medieval chapel in fact dates to between the 11 th and 13 th centuries AD. Associated artefacts from the surrounding enclosure bank suggest a more domestic character to the structure. An isolated pit also provided evidence of prehistoric activity in the vicinity.

GUARD Archaeology Ltd were commissioned by Scottish Water to undertake an archaeological watching brief during ground works associated with the installation of a waste water outfall and associated Combined Sewer Outflow (CSO) as part of development works at Castlebank Street, Partick. Earlier adjacent archaeological works had identified a large ditch and sandstone well on the periphery of the area to the south-west ( Green 2019 ). The archaeological watching brief included the initial monitoring of borehole drilling, expanding to all overburden stripping along the full length of the working area for the drainage tract as well as the adjacent CSO area, stretching from the existing River Kelvin's edge to the boundary of Castlebank Street. The works identified the remaining extent of previously identified features, along with a wide range of further features of interest. These consisted of several distinct phases of structural stonework and two substantial intersecting ditches; a substantial assemblage of pottery was also recovered, along with several metal objects including a medieval decorative pin and a copper alloy decorative boss. The stonework likely relates to the seventeenth century Hutcheson's tower house, with some of the earlier deposits, pottery and metal objects possibly originating from activity around the earlier twelfth century Bishops' residence. Bore hole monitoring was undertaken in early 2016, while overburden stripping and archaeological excavation took place between February and August 2016.

This article provides a summary of the Dalrymple Lectures delivered November 18–21, 2019. It examines the troubled, and troubling, idea of ‘civilization’, charting a path toward rehabilitation not as a descriptive category but as an analytic concept. Returning to the term's 18th century origins, civilization here describes neither a state of being nor a set of personal qualities but an apparatus, a machine that generates recognition by setting the material terms for who is like and who is Other. It does so through the generation of at least three forms of value – metaphysical, epistemic, and ethical. By retheorizing civilization as a means instead of an ends, as an apparatus that generates the values at the heart of large-scale publics instead of an exclusionary monumental aesthetic, new analytic terrain is opened for a discredited term. The operation of civilization machines is interrogated through studies situated in the South Caucasus and Armenian Highland that extend from the Early Bronze Age to the present.

Accounts are provided of the examination of two adjacent crannogs in the Clyde at Erskine and Old Kilpatrick. The first is based on the planning of the surface remains, a more detailed examination of some of the timbers and an assessment of the limited finds recovered; the second on collating the scattered antiquarian records of an ‘excavation’ undertaken in 1906 and a detailed examination of the surviving finds. The two sites are contextualised within current understanding of the chronology, character and function of estuarine crannogs in the western lowlands of Scotland
