Re-excavation of an Iron Age wheelhouse and earlier structure at Eilean Maleit, North UistArmit, Ian January 1998 (has links)
No / Excavations were carried out on the tidal islet settlement of Eilean Maleit, previously excavated by
Erskine Beveridge in the early part of this century, to test the hypothesis that the site represented a
wheelhouse built into an earlier Atlantic roundhouse or broch. It is clear from the re-excavation that
the wheelhouse was indeed set into an earlier massive-walled dry stone structure, probably an Atlantic
roundhouse but almost certainly not a classic broch tower. The denuded condition of this early
structure when the wheelhouse was built suggests that a significant period of time may have elapsed
between the occupation of the two structures. Publication of this work is sponsored by Historic
Scotland.

Death and Display in the North Atlantic: The Bronze and Iron Age Human Remains from Cnip, Lewis, Outer HebridesArmit, Ian, Shapland, F. January 2015 (has links)
Yes / This paper revisits the series of disarticulated human remains discovered during the 1980s excavations of the Cnip wheelhouse complex in Lewis. Four fragments of human bone, including two worked cranial fragments, were originally dated to the 1st centuries BC/AD based on stratigraphic association. Osteoarchaeological reanalysis and AMS dating now provide a broader cultural context for these remains and indicate that at least one adult cranium was brought to the site more than a thousand years after the death of the individual to whom it had belonged.
