About This Book

The lectures examine archaeological remains of Scotland's Iron Age, comparing pagan and Christian burial practices and identifying distinctive Viking-era graves and grave-goods found across western and northern coasts. It surveys artifact types — weapons, brooches, silverwork, steatite urns — and hoards, considers ship-burial evidence and links with Scandinavian forms, and maps regional distributions. Architectural and settlement remains such as brochs and grave-mounds receive typological and structural description, while comparisons with mainland and Norse finds support interpretations of cultural contact, funerary ritual, and chronological relationships among Iron Age assemblages.
