Excavations At Cadzow
Historic scotland gives the background to the dig by Kirkdale archaeology at this castle completed in the 1530s in South Lanarkshire. History with reconstruction drawings.
http://www.cadzowcastle.net

Extractions: Historic Scotland is considering a major programme of conservation to enable Cadzow Castle to be enjoyed by visitors. Before this can be done we need to fully understand the site, a process largely based on the archaeological investigations now underway. This is no easy task because Cadzow is one of the most mysterious castles in Scotland. At the moment we can only guess at how it looked when completed in the 1530s, and we do not even know what is was called by its owners, the noble Hamilton family. The obscure nature of the castle today belies the important role it played in the great political events following the abdication of Mary Queen of Scots in 1567. We think that this led to the catastrophic destruction of Cadzow in 1579. Using the website Follow the links at the top of the page for a brief introduction to the project, and use the buttons on the right to find out about the site and the excavations as well as answers to some frequently asked questions. You can contact the team via the 'contact' area, and the interactve zone will soon feature a clickable guide to castles, an interactive timeline, suggested itineraries for visitors to Cadzow, and more...

The Archaeology Of The Mesolithic Period Of Eastern Scotland

http://www.btinternet.com/~ian.borthwick/LADAS/prog/02_mesolithic.html

Extractions: Graeme Warren 14th January 2001 In Scotland the Mesolithic period began around 9000BC and ended with the widespread domestication of crops and animals around 4000BC. There is local evidence of early Mesolithic inhabitation at the Daer reservoir . Graeme explained that in this period the landscape was very different to that of today. After the Ice Age the land would be barren and then trees would begin to grow. Birch would be the first tree to widely establish and eventually oak and pine forests were formed. It was believe that most Mesolithic activity in Scotland was in the west of the Country. However, this is because the terrain of the West has not been subject to intensive agriculture and so the archaeological evidence has been better preserved. In the east of Scotland there have been a large number if surface finds relating to Mesolithic habitation. The evidence that survives of the Mesolithic period is mainly of tools and waste. Tools were made of any napable stone including chert, flint, quartz and pitchstone. These were formed into blades and, most characteristically of the period; microlithes. Graeme also referred to the number of shaped stones that he had examined which are popularly referred to as "net sinkers". However, he stressed that this was a contemporary view on what they were used for and like many of the artefacts of the period their true use might never be known. It is illustrative of the way that artefacts from this period were regarded that while historical reports mention "sacks full" of these items being found there are now only 140 of them in public and private collections in the whole of Scotland.

Ritchie. A survey of scotland's archaeology and prehistory, from theearliest times to the union of the Picts and the Scots in AD 843.
http://www.henge.org.uk/general/bookshop/megabooks4.html

Extractions: by Richard Oram This handbook on the archaeology of prehistoric Scotland incorporates a gazetteer of key sites and monuments. It ranges from the seventh millennium BC, through the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age, to the emergence of the early historic kingdoms after the Celtic Iron Age. Scotland This illustrated guide to over 250 of the best archaeological sites in Scotland, ranges from earliest times to 1200 AD. The guide is arranged geographically within ten different areas, and includes practical guides to cairns, forts, churches, standing stones, and carvings. The introduction sets monuments within the context of the history of human development in Scotland, focusing on aspects such as earliest human colonization, transport, domestic life, art, warfare, and the preservation of Scottish monuments, together with giving an outline of archaeological development from mesolithic to post-medieval times. Scotland: Archaeology and Early History A survey of Scotland's archaeology and prehistory, from the earliest times to the union of the Picts and the Scots in AD 843. Scotland is unusually rich in field monuments and objects surviving from prehistory - from isolated cairn burial stones to Maes Howe, and from plain pottery bowls to the exquisite silverwork of the St Ninian's Isle treasure. Graham and Anna Ritchie examine these finds and drawing on their own excavations, describe in detail the societies that have inhabited Scotland.

Extractions: Map Reference NG 902 919 In a graveyard still in use, close to the village of Laide are the unroofed remains of the Chapel of Sand of Udrigle. A Church building is said to have been erected around 1713 by George MacKenzie of Gruinard. In reality however it is likely that the work carried out by George MacKenzie was limited to repairs and re-thatching and the chapel is traditionally said to have been erected by St Columba or one of his followers in the 7th century. However, the character of the building suggests a late medieval date for the existing structure. Gordon C. Harrison The chapel seems to have remained in use for worship until at least the end of the 18th century and was in use for burials by 1834, the earliest decipherable date on any of the gravestones within the walls. The burial ground has been substantially enlarged on all sides and remains in use. To the west of the chapel denuded remains of a segment of a probably circular ditch with a double bank can be traced. The chapel is placed nearly east and west measuring 8.8m by 5.8m with walls 0.7m thick and bonded with a shell mortar. The east and west gables remain substantially complete with the west gable even retaining most of its skew stones. The east gable is pierced by a partially destroyed mullioned two-light window and there are remains of two further mullioned two-light windows in the south wall, flanking the lower courses of the doorway. Unfortunately the north and south walls are reduced to approximately 1.5m, the height of the windowsills.
