The Neolithic Crannogs of the Western Isles

Professor Duncan Garrow of Reading University presents his extensive and detailed work on the crannogs of the Western Isles. His work was the first to identify that some of them are neolithic. This presentation takes us through four phases of his investigation into these crannogs: 1: A desk-based survey 2: Field Survey of 114 archaeological islands in inland lochs 3: Diver-led underwater surveys of 30 islands in 25 different lochs and 4: Conventional excavation of one particular island.
