This book presents an investigation of two of the National Museum
of Scotland's older lithic collections, the assemblages from
Airhouse and Overhowden in the Scottish Borders. The Airhouse
assemblage numbers 558 lithic artefacts and the Overhowden
assemblage 109 lithic artefacts. They were both collected in the
first part of the 20th Century from locations situated a few
hundred metres from the Overhowden Henge (with which they may in
some way be associated), and they both embrace a broad spectrum of
Late Neolithic tools, with relatively sophisticated, or 'fancy',
pieces being notably more prominent than in other collections from
this period. As a whole, this new corpus of comparative material
offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into the seemingly
unusual material from Airhouse/Overhowden by placing it in a wider
Late Neolithic context.
