Produktbeschreibung
Recent excavations have revealed that the Hebrides-the Isle of Skye and the Western Isles-have their own regional archaeology, as distinctive as other better-known areas such as Wessex and Orkney. Tracing the history of human settlement and society in Skye and the Western Isles, this book brings new material to a wide audience for the first time. It examines the monuments and their context from the time of the first hunter-gatherers to the post-medieval period, including descriptions of the stunning Callanish stones on the Isle of Lewis and the great broch towers found along the Western coastline. With illustrations and material from recent excavations, it recounts the area's history from prehistoric times to the Clearances and the subsequent devastating emigration to North America and Canada. No other book gives such an accessible and up-to-date account of this important region's archaeological history- The Archaeology of Skye and the Western Isles will appeal to all those who can trace their ancestry to Skye, Lewis, Harris, the Uists or Barra.
