Archaeology Scotland works to inspire people to discover, explore, care for and enjoy Scotland’s archaeological heritage.
We were established over 75 years ago and have gained a wealth of experience with community engagement, volunteer management and professional best practice.
A professor of climate history who used to be my neighbour many years ago explained that good climate records go back about 6500 years, so I'm interested in the accuracy of your data with regards to time.
Excellent presentation. Expanding our knowledge of the upper paleothic time frame in Scotland. Keep up the great work professor. Hope to hear more insights in future.
Fantastic insight to a very exciting archaeological discovery enriching the human story of europe and scotland. Many thanks. Could I make one suggestion? If lecturers in future could cite sources on their slides. The information and the images, maps and suggested websites sound wonderful resources and seeing them on the slides would really help with further research.
She goes into conniptions about keeping people off the croft and site, and not telling people where it is, then shows a topo view and names the river. Good Grief!
Scotland has extensive raised beach areas of sands, gravels, cobbles and boulders DUE to a well documented tsunami event that formed the ENTIRE North Sea aroind 10k yrs ago. The glacial melting was NOT the cause of the tsunami, the tsunami was caused by a massive asteroid impact in Notrh Africa(Surface abundance of Tanzanite confirms the location)... This is why Europeans(closer to the devastating impact zone) travelled North AFTER the event, when all previous habitation had been obliterated prior to the tsunami event - the excavation site clearly shows this older habitation artifacts located below a rock shelf, where water flow currents are miinimal(similar to what appears at the base of man mad weirs). Academia is sadly the controlled and manipulated(must fit within an artificial narrative framework) release of information by conditiined people's(group think) - It is NO surprise that the most dynamic period in our technilogical development came BEFORE the saturation of society with controlled Academics and not free thinking Academics, experimental scientists, free thinkers..... - man's greatest prison is his mind, and academia is the collective penal colonies. Great post about the work done! ❤👍 Shame about Skye and all those sheeple! 😮
Dear professor. Our planet Earth suffers from a recurring natural disaster that occurs in a cycle of five. The worst disaster, the peak of the cycle, occurred in the year 10,844 BCE. That disaster wiped out the existing civilization and many animals and it causes a so called Ice Age. After this disaster the number of people will be very small. Abundant and convincing evidence about this cycle of natural disasters and its timeline and many images are available in the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". Search: nibiru = 9
How dare these archaeologists state that early Holocene sea levels were much higher than present, without providing any evidence for ancient coal power stations or any other sources of anthropological CO2 emissions. ;)
Very interesting. Curious about the certainty that they had to go round the ice sheet to get to the west coast - in summer it would not be impossible and would probably only take these hardy people a week or two to get from the upper Tay or through to Lochaber and up to the south end of Skye? The early mesolithic hunting camp on Ben Lawers was being used by hunter-gatherer groups by 'at least the late 8th millennium BC' (Atkinson et al 2016 ‘Ben Lawers, an archaeological landscape in time’, Scottish Archaeological Internet Reports 62) so was not that much later or could even be concurrent with the settlers on South Cuidrach?
This lie that human activity is the main cause of climate change, we still have no clue as to why we had the mini ice age , or do these " scientists " forget that the earth was much warmer in the relatively recent past , remember that there was a movement of people to colonise greenland before we even knew what fossil fuels were . These " scientists " are being paid handsomely to support the lies of the bildenberger group of jetsetters who want to murder as many of us as they can. Shame on you liars
We were looking for a WW2 practice trench, and we found it! You can read more in our blog post: www.archaeologyscotland.org.uk/the-big-dig-a-community-excavation-with-big-aims-big-finds-and-big-impact/
@@eh1702 No we know it's driven by money & power, evil. And we don't forget the little thing like the IPCC leaked emails that they lied on the data sets they used.
Too bad YT has to post the UN climate change fraud as server-side includes that one can not filter out. There's no significant contribution by humans, gosh the "authorities" lose credibility every time they open their mouths.
And not a internal combustion engine on the planet - so it must be Trump or Russia China and irans fault….surely 10 degrees in 10 years…..surely the Sun couldnt be involved.
Good grief. 12k years ago is a drop in the bucket in human history. We had already spread out over the planet tens of thousands of years prior with the preponderance of evidence showing gradual development until later environmental stability. Do not make claims without evidence. I also see the UN has to slap it's labels on topics having nothing to do with their hijacked definition of natural climate change prior to widespread human influence. The UN doing it's best to destroy science.
The relationship between Dumbarton Rock and Carman "Hill fort" has not been adequately investigated as there has been no professional archaeological dig done on the latter
Just visited the stone last week, very impressive. Would we not expect to see characteristic Pictish iconography, or would the stone be too late for that?
really fascinating to watch and hear this archeologist tell about what they discovered in those regions! that the glaciation of highland Scotland by 12000 years ago still were so present there so that the people who were following the herds of reindeer probably would have not being able to go forward by the westcoast as earlier presumed but further east and then going west to the Skye area!
Fascinating. If only the educational industries taught us our own history. We were taught absolutely heehaw about our Scots history, mores the pity. Glad to see funding for our Scottish archeology investigations! Fantastic!!
Hi there, interested amateur here. What's the meaning behind the term 'nuclear hill fort' exactly? Me and my partner read part of your writing on the subject but couldn't get our heads around why Stevenson uses the term. Does it refer to the nucleus of an early medieval settlement/kingdom? Thanks!
I have a question. What is the oldest man made island that you've discovered so far? I think I know where a few are that you might be interested in, and also it relates directly to the pictish. Do you have an email where you are reachable?
Thanks for making this video. I am writing something, and this helps. Hey would you guys be interesting in knowing what the Pictish symbols mean? I figured them out, and I'd like to share this info with you.
This is sooo interesting, recently moved to Hawick and love the history of the site. If you ever are in need of volunteers, I'm happy to help out in anyway!
