The 1926-7 excavations of the Creag nan Uamh bone caves, near Inchnadamph, Sutherland

Abstract

The Creag nan Uamh caves were excavated in 1926-7, but only a preliminary report was ever published.The recent examination of unpublished letters and manuscripts has allowed the compilation of a more detailed picture of the stratigraphy of the cave deposits, and the remains found therein, than has previously been available.The stratigraphy, faunal content and archaeological remains of each of the caves are presented, and the conclusions reached by the excavators concerning the age of the deposits and the archaeological significance of the site are discussed from a modern standpoint.
