Talk by Dr Mike Copper: The Mysterious Neolithic Islets of the Outer Hebrides
Recent work on and around a series of artificial islets in freshwater lochs in the Outer Hebrides, once believed to be Iron Age crannogs, has revealed that many of them were in fact constructed in the Early Neolithic. Producing prodigious quantities of fine and elaborately decorated pottery, yet often lacking clear evidence for occupation, the purpose of these islets remains obscure. Dr Mike Copper, a specialist in the Hebridean Neolithic based at the University of Bradford, will discuss ongoing work on these unusual and enigmatic sites and consider what this may reveal about life on the outer edges of the Neolithic world
