1 Stepping stones to the Neolithic? Islands, maritime connectivity and the western seaways of Britain, BC Duncan Garrow (Liverpool/Reading) & Fraser Sturt (Southampton)

2 Stepping stones to the Neolithic? Islands, maritime connectivity and the western seaways of Britain, BC 3 year project on the Mesolithic/Neolithic transition (funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council) Duncan Garrow (Liverpool) & Fraser Sturt (Southampton)

3 The Neolithic

4 10,000 BC 4,000 BC The transition: colonisation v indigenous adoption

5 The delay... c BC 22 miles c BC

6 The western seaways... key to understanding the transition Fox 1932 Callaghan & Scarre 2009 Sheridan 2010

7 The spread of the Neolithic across Britain and Ireland Whittle, Healy & Bayliss 2011

8 Western seaways: implicated but not really explored... Icons of 5 th M. contact: the Ferriter s Cove cow bones and the Acnacreebeag pot BC (?) cal BC (95%)

9 The western seaways themselves: islands

10 The western seaways themselves: the sea

11 Objectives Achieve a greater understanding of the processes behind and chronology of the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition within the western seaways zone

12 Objectives Achieve a greater understanding of the processes behind and chronology of the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition within the western seaways zone Construct a database of all known Late Mesolithic/Early Neolithic settlement sites within the western seaways zone + submit bid for radiocarbon dates Excavate three key sites (Guernsey, South Uist, Isles of Scilly) to enhance record Model the changing nature of Holocene coastline morphology and connecting seaways

13 Other stuff Conference in 2013 (Liverpool) on cross channel connections in prehistory Open days, public lectures, museum displays in each island group Project website: Past sea levels simulation (Google Earth) Western seaways navigation game (Google Earth)

14 Back to the archaeology...

15 5 th M. islands... Saville 2000 Orkney & Outer Hebrides Record v. patchy and only recently appreciated Sustained clearances (pollen) Sustained occupation? Inner Hebrides Regular island hopping Important highway (Hardy & Wickham-Jones 2002) Possibly similar on closer inspection

16 5 th M. islands... Isle of Man Connected to Ireland (through stone tools) Separate from Britain? Or signalling difference because of contact? (McCartan 2004) Early (possible) cereal pollen

17 5 th M. islands... Isles of Scilly Record very patchy/sparse But definite Mesolithic presence Possibly seasonal visits for hunting, fishing, etc.?

18 5 th M. islands... Channel Islands Neolithic arrives c (?) Strong connections with each other, and with mainland France Tomb types, pottery styles, stone axes, polished stone rings, etc. Similar picture in 4 th M.

19 Early 4 th M. islands... C. Johns pers. comm. Isles of Scilly Ephemeral occupation (pits, etc.) Possibly seasonal visits for hunting, fishing, etc.? Hembury Ware BC Isle of Man Patchy picture post-holes, pits Shouldered bowl / Mull Hill pottery BC

20 Early 4 th M. islands... Outer Hebrides Some fairly stone substantial buildings Unstan and Hebridean Ware pottery cal BC Orkney Several substantial buildings now Stone and timber built Unstan Ware pottery c cal BC

21 Summary... 5 th millennium archaeology Regular short-distance sea travel Definite long-distance voyages too - Channel Islands/France - Cornwall(?)/Isles of Scilly - Isle of Man /Scotland/Ireland - France/Ferriter s Cove - France /Achnacreebeag (?) Mesolithic and Neolithic people involved

22 Summary... Early 4 th millennium archaeology earliest Neolithic dates BC material culture local not long-distance if we are seeing 5 th M. continental mariners, they are not obviously colonising the islands Neolithic seems to have local and late origins... at least as far as we can tell now Lindsay Scott 1950 (Eilean an Tighe)
