This is an online talk for which a Zoom link will be circulated to
members just before the event.
Professor Duncan Garrow of Reading University will present his work on the crannogs of the Western Isles. His work was the first to identify that some of them are neolithic.
Professor Garrow originally worked in the commercial archaeology sector (at the Cambridge Archaeological Unit) from 1996-2002, after which he left to undertake a PhD on Neolithic and Early Bronze Age pits in East Anglia. His research interests include long-term histories of deposition, burial practice and material culture, island archaeologies, and archaeological theory.
His current research projects include Islands of Stone: Neolithic crannogs in the Outer Hebrides (with Fraser Sturt and Angela Gannon), and 'Icons in Context: Rethinking Symbols of Power at the Time of Stonehenge' (with Neil Wilkin).
It should prove an interesting evening.
