About this title

Synopsis

This colourful guide presents the story of life in the Uists from the appearance of the first stone age hunter-gatherers up to 10,000 years ago, to the crofters of the last century. It offers a vivid account of the development of the islands, suggesting some of the most rewarding places to visit and providing clear descriptions of each site. Mike Parker Pearson is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield, Niall Sharples is a Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at Cardiff University, Jim Symonds and Anna Badcock are Director and Assistant Director of Sheffield's archaeological consultancy ARCUS, and Heidi Robbins is a freelance archaeological writer and editor. The pioneering work of this team in a major campaign of archaeological excavation and investigation since the 1990s has made possible our understanding of ancient Uist.
