Abstract The infant forms an ambiguous class of individual, located on the periphery normal lifecycle events. This is often reflected in character and choice burial location. During Historic period Ireland separate unbaptised infants reused earlier monuments, particularly those with Early Christian associations. These cillini (children's grounds) were frequently situated marginal locations their identification host site enhanced liminal character. A review prehistoric evidence also suggests...
The identification of children as stone tool makers has afforded key insights into stonecraft, knapping practices and constructs social learning, with wider lessons for the archaeological recognition child. Through a combination assemblage analysis, ethnographic experimental methodologies such studies provide powerful tools which to explore interplay emergent novice identities in various techniques diverse lithic raw materials. This paper presents review themes around episodes playful...

This volume presents the results of archaeological investigations between 1996 and 2005, carried out as part Ben Lawers Historic Landscape Project, a multi-disciplinary project based on north Loch Tayside in Central Highlands Scotland (NGR: NN 63763 41298). Archaeological surveys excavations formed core but many other disciplines also contributed to researching this landscape. Some these partner projects are reported here, while others have been presented elsewhere (Tipping et al 2009), some...
In March 2005, excavations were undertaken by Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division (GUARD) at the Craig Tara Holiday Park, Dunure Road, Ayr in advance of proposed development. Two main archaeological sites examined.
 The first, a flat cist cemetery covered an earthen mound, comprised 23 separate burial features varying morphology from two phases burial, including cists, pits and what has been interpreted as ‘boat-shaped’ setting. Nine cremations four possible inhumations...
Events surrounding the beginnings of life often appear strange, shaped by mysterious forces, replete with corporeal transformations and hidden within. Bodies within bodies create curious conditions...

Excavations near Ratho in early summer 1993 yielded evidence for Neolithic, Bronze Age and Early Historic activity on the site.Neolithic features consisted of a small number pits containing fragments carinated bowls; funerary remains were more extensive, including ring-ditch which enclosed two cremations cordoned urns, one unurned cremation.There also additional dispersed cists burnt bone, truncated uncertain date.The attributed to period twophase palisade alignment enclosing sunken-featured...
This paper reviews recent trends and developments in the study of Mesolithic period Scotland places them their historical context. The last decade has witnessed a flourishing research activity, not just terms discovery excavation, but also artefact studies, dating programmes, other types research. contribution development-led projects is challenging traditional interpretations that have relied heavily on evidence from maritime west. These major issues such as chronology, subsistence...

A group of Early Neolithic features probably relating to the cooking food was excavated. Several these contained considerable amounts carbonised botanical remains, providing a broader insight into landscape where were found. Analysis remains suggests that there has been short phase occupation, radiocarbon dated 3780-3650 cal BC.
