Ancient Scottish Lake-Dwellings or Crannogs / With a supplementary chapter on remains of lake-dwellings in England

The volume compiles historical notices and systematic reports of ancient Scottish lake-dwellings, offering detailed accounts of several crannogs with descriptions of structural elements such as log pavements, gangways, and timber beams. It inventories recovered artifacts—stone tools, bone and antler implements, wooden objects, and metal finds—and incorporates specialist analyses of animal bones and plant remains. The author brings together older references and compares Scottish lacustrine habitations with Irish and continental examples, explains excavation methods and preservation factors, notes evidence of subsidence, and appends a supplementary chapter surveying comparable remains in England.
