Hunters’ remains earliest known
SCOTLAND’S foremost amateur archaeologist, Tam Ward of Biggar Archaeology Group, was guest speaker at the November meeting of Lanark and District Archaeological Society.
. . .
Tam related how the site had been discovered through diligent field walking. Initially, Tam thought the site was early Neolithic but a talk with an expert in pre-history revealed the amazing fact that some of the tools that Tam and his team had discovered were about 16,000 years old (later Paleolithic).
UPDATE: Also from Scotland, a survey of Roman sites:
SCOTLAND already has more identified Roman camps than any other European country – reflecting Rome’s repeated attempts to stamp its rule on the troublesome north.
Now the number is set to increase. The first comprehensive survey of Roman remains for 30 years will boost the total of officially recognised sites and give them greater legal protection, officials said yesterday.
Makes sense.
