In the 1920s and 1930s Marguerite Wood and Margaret Simpson collaborated with James Richardson, Inspector of Ancient Monuments for Scotland, in writing guide-books to several medieval monuments in state care. The involvement of women in such activities was unusual for the time. The family histories and careers of these two pioneering Scottish women are investigated in order to explain their participation, and their activities are placed in the wider context of the emerging professionalism of women in history and archaeology in Scotland at this time.

The excavation at Bankhead Farm, Darvel, tested (a) the local tradition of the existence of a stone castle on site and (b) the undocumented story that the local archaeological society had excavated the site in the 1920's. The castle story was disproved but more than one third of the site had clearly been disturbed. The untouched area revealed the foundation trenches of two palisaded roundhouses, one of which yielded Roman pottery of Antonine date.

At the very end of the 18th century, economic circumstance and the capricious consequences of warfare on the continent turned seaweed on the West Coast and Isles of Scotland into an important industrial resource. This resource was kelp: a glassy substance used in various industrial processes, particularly in the glass and soap industries. Chiefs and landowners in the west of Scotland were quick to take advantage of the economic opportunity it presented. The industry would have profound effects on the people who lived and worked in coastal communities. This paper seeks to outline a landscape archaeology of kelping as it was lived and experienced. It will draw on archaeological, documentary, and historical evidence, and will also consider Gaelic culture and oral tradition. Using a case study from Loch Aoineart, South Uist, the kelp industry will be considered in the context of an early 19th century Hebridean community.

Gilmerton Cove, a visitor attraction six kilometres south of Edinburgh, has long been thought to be a strange 18th Century underground pub, but Julian Spalding and Euan MacKie think it is much older and dates from the Iron Age. They make the case that it could even be a deliberately buried Druid Temple discovered by chance and dug out 300 years ago and luckily preserved since then. No pre-18th century artefacts have been found in the Cove, but the Cove itself deserves to be interpreted as an extraordinary artefact, for every centimetre of it is man-made.

Excavations at Castlebank Street, Partick between the Clyde and the Kelvin Rivers revealed some archaeological features. The earliest was a Roman/Iron Age ditch, dated to the second to third century AD. Medieval activity on the site included a large north-east/south-west oriented ditch with a culvert and a slightly later substantial stone wall. In addition, a stone-lined well was located and a small ditch with associated features in the north of the excavated area. These features spanned the beginning of the eleventh to the end of the fourteenth century. A limited range of material culture, mainly medieval and later medieval local pottery, with some glass and animal bone was associated with the fills of the larger ditch, culvert and wall. Historical research revealed a complex history surrounding the establishment of the Bishop of Glasgow's country estate and manor house (the early castle?) and its subsequent demolition. However, it has been difficult to match the archaeological evidence with the historical documentation mainly due to nineteenth century use of the area for a foundry and laundry, as well as the insertion of South Orchard Street, which did much to obliterate evidence from earlier periods.

Rathmell Archaeology Ltd carried out the excavation of a disturbed kerbed cairn at Swaites Hill, Cloburn Quarry, South Lanarkshire. An inner and outer kerb were noted: the inner revealed two short cists, one containing two cremation burials. A third disturbed cremation burial with associated cordoned urn was present within cairn material between the inner and outer kerbs. A second urn and further cremated human bone deposits were found in the upper cairn material. The discovery of a Middle Bronze Age rapier within re-deposited cairn material hints at even more complexity; however, the full picture was sadly obscured by eighteenth to nineteenth century disturbance.
