Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe review of a series of oblique aerial photographs recording a Neolithic bank barrow and adjacent post-medieval feld-system identifed the ground-plan of a Roman temporary camp on the rising ground to the north-east of the Roman fort at Raeburnfoot, Dumfriesshire. Further analysis, later confrmed by feld survey, recognised the presence of at least two upstanding gateways of a form usually referred to as the ‘Stracathro’-type and so far only known in Scotland. All the other examples are known only as cropmarks, making the camp at Raeburnfoot the sole visible earthwork camp with these unusual entrances known in the Roman world.

Abstract:
Late eighteenth-century Scotland saw a period of growth in the availability of print material set against the backdrop of the Scottish Enlightenment. Yet despite much scholarly attention having been paid to the Enlightenment and an increasing interest in the books people were reading, little attention has been paid to the books that would have been found in individual Scottish houses and what they reveal about Scottish mindsets in these years. This paper addresses this topic, using a local case study of after-death inventories of personal possessions. These rich records reveal the size of household libraries, the varieties of books they contained, variation by occupation and social class, and the extent to which their owners engaged with and were influenced by debates and ideas of the time. In addition, the evidence allows us to consider the uses to which different types of books were put, examine differences between urban and provincial Scotland, and consider how and where people bought their books.

Abstract:
Evidence is provided by place names and personal names of Nordic origin for Danish settlement in England and Scotland in the Viking period and later. The names show that Danish settlement was densest in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire but can also be traced outside the Danelaw. In the North, Danish settlers or their descendants moved across the Pennines to the Carlisle Plain, and from there along the coast of Cumberland and on across the sea to the Isle of Man, and perhaps back again to southern Lancashire and Cheshire before the middle of the tenth century. There,was also a spread of Danes around south-western England in the early eleventh century, reflecting the activities of Cnut the Great and his followers. After the Norman Conquest, Nordic influence spread into Dumfriesshire and the Central Lowlands of Scotland. It was in the more isolated, northern communities that Nordic linguistic influence continued to thrive.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe upper half of the Archerbeck Borehole contains a continuous Mississippian succession from the late Asbian (late Viséan) to the Pendleian (early Serpukhovian), with numerous limestone horizons. The borehole sequence lies within the Solway Basin (western end of the Northumberland Trough) and bridges the successions between the Midland Valley of Scotland and the Pennines (northern England). The rich foraminiferal and algal assemblages are compared to those described by previous authors, and genera as well as species are updated as far as is possible. In addition, some other overlooked or underestimated taxa have been identified and illustrated, which improve notably the biostratigraphic resolution of the Archerbeck Borehole succession. Within the abundant foraminiferal assemblages can be highlighted the richness and diversity of representatives of the family Archaediscidae. In general, the succession developed in the Archerbeck Borehole is closely comparable with that in the Alston Block of northern England. The Asbian/Brigantian transition mimics that observed in the Janny Wood boundary stratotype section, with clear late Asbian horizons (lower part of the Archerbeck Beds), transitional beds (middle and upper parts of the Archerbeck Beds), and Brigantian limestones (from the Cornet Limestone upwards). The base of the early Brigantian is placed at the base of the Cornet Limestone (equivalent to the Lower Peghorn Limestone in the Alston Block). The base of the late Brigantian is placed at the base of the Gastropod Limestone (equivalent to the Scar Limestone Member in northern England), and the base of the Pendleian is repositioned at the base of the Under Limestone (equivalent to the Four Fathom Limestone Member in northern England). Throughout, the borehole, protista and microfloral elements are abundant, which allows the recognition of Assemblages 4 to 10, previously recognised in northern England and the Midland Valley of Scotland. Furthermore, other local assemblages are recognised and related to palaeoecological controls, although they do not represent any improvement in biostratigraphical resolution.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to make an examination of the later prehistoric enclosed sites and look at their landscape settings. Lists of enclosed sites are based on my own critical assessment of the data gathered in the RCAHMS Inventories which is supported by visits to the sites and observation of aerial photographs. The core text of this thesis presents the possibility of detecting new information from the somewhat different observation of the enclosed sites as used before. RCAHMS ‘neat’ categories of hill-forts, enclosures etc. are ignored in this study. Instead, all the enclosed sites are observed as one single category. As a result, some new possible categorisation occurs. Consequently, this brings an opportunity for further discussions (e.g. entrance orientations), a possibility of applying newly discovered categories to wider areas and, subsequently, a series of new questions. Interpretation of results enables a discussion on identifying possible settlement patterns, wide area as well as locally. Several different forms of possible organisation of landscape occur. This is particularly well seen in a cluster of sites with multiple ramparts.   The most striking finding is the detection of a so-called living ancestor. This discovery strongly suggests an organisation of archaeological landscape through centuries/millennia. Early man-made features in the landscape were incorporated into the later patterns (not only enclosed sites, but also burials, henges etc.) Based on this discovery we can now witness that archaeological features, which were accumulated in the landscape through centuries, form tidy patterns even when put on a map. In addition, organisation of places can most certainly be observed on a smaller level as most of the enclosed settlements show organised interiors.

This essay examines the relationship between the maritime sector and economic development in rural southwest Scotland between 1750 and 1850, with particular attention to the link between local economic revival and expansion and the development of its maritime infrastructure. Comprising the counties of Wigtownshire in the west, Dumfriesshire in the east and the stewartry of Kirkcudbrightshire at the centre, Dumfries and Galloway forms the southwest corner of Scotland, covers 2828 square miles and is bounded on the west and south by a 300-mile coastline (see ...
