Archaeology Notes

NM26SE 12 273 638.

NM 273 638. A collection of flint and stone tools, found by Mr John Crawford in a small area of sand-blow at Rubha Sgor-innis, has been donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS). They were found eroding from the old land surface in a small patch, and there is some likelihood that they are contemporary. A detailed description of the tools is given; the stone artifacts are bevelled pebbles - 'limpet-hammer', which have been found elsewhere in Mesolithic contexts; no features clearly diagnostic of date were noted in the flint assemblage.

A number of other artifacts from the dunes at Sorisdale (which lie to the S and W of Rubha Sgor-innis) were also donated to the NMAS; among them were many sherds of pottery, including beakers. A bronze ring-brooch and two bone pins from here were retained by Mr Crawford.
