Abstract

The paper considers the significance of one of the largest collections of earlier prehistoric artefacts associated with a Scottish dune system. It came from a narrow spit, formerly an offshore island, at the mouth of Loch Fleet and was dominated by large numbers of arrowheads dating from the Early Neolithic period and the Beaker phase. They seem to have been made there, and many were unfinished. The original findspots are inaccessible today, but a programme of field walking in the surrounding area confirmed their exceptional character. Perhaps this remote location was chosen as a production site because of the specialised roles played by the artefacts made there. The results of this project are compared with similar evidence from the Culbin and Luce Sands.

这篇论文考虑了与苏格兰沙丘系统有关的早期史前文物的最大收藏之一的意义。它来自一个狭窄的尖嘴,以前是一个近海岛屿,在舰队湖的入口处,被大量的箭头所统治,可以追溯到新石器时代早期和烧杯时期。它们似乎是在那里制作的,许多还未完成。最初的发现地点今天已经无法进入,但在周围地区的野外行走项目证实了它们的独特之处。也许选择这个偏远的地方作为生产地点是因为那里制造的人工制品发挥了特殊的作用。这个项目的结果与来自库尔宾和卢斯沙的类似证据进行了比较。
