Ancient Lives provides new perspectives on object, people and place
in early Scotland and beyond. The 19 papers cover topics ranging
from the Neolithic to the Medieval period, and from modern museum
practice to ancient craft skills. The material culture of ancient
lives is centre stage - how it was created and used, how it was
rediscovered and thought about, and how it is displayed. Dedicated
to Professor David V Clarke, former Keeper of Archaeology in
National Museums Scotland, on his 70th birthday, the book comprises
three sections which reflect some of his many interests.
"Presenting the past" offers perspectives on current museum
practice, especially in relation to archaeological displays.
"Ancient lives and multiple lives" looks at antiquarian approaches
to the Scottish past and the work of a Scottish antiquary abroad,
while "Pieces of the past" offers a series of authoritative
case-studies on Scottish artefacts, as well as papers on the iconic
site of Skara Brae and on the impact of the Roman world on
Scotland. With subjects ranging from Gordon Childe to the Govan
Stones and from gaming pieces to Grooved Ware, this scholarly and
accessible volume provides a show-case of new information and new
perspectives on material culture linked, but not limited to,
Scotland.
