Book excerpt: Mr. Laing has published an account of his researches among the prehistoric remains of Caithness" in an octavo volume, which is enriched by a valuable memoir by Professor Huxley on the human remains discovered. These remains belong to the Stone period of the prehistoric existence of man in Britain, and most of the stone implements discovered are of the rudest type. From some indications it would appear that the primitive people whose traces are here described were cannibals. Most of Mr. Laing's researches were carried on in burial mounds near Keiss, but he has also examined some curious architectural relics, among which one shows clear indications of having been the result of the operations of three successive sets of people, the remains of each of the first two buildings having served as a foundation for their successors. The author has also found refuse heaps, or kitchen-middens, similar to those of Denmark, although presenting a difference in the species of animals of whose remains they are composed, a list of which, disfigured unfortunately by many inaccuracies of nomenclature, is given on page 50. The most interesting of the remains discovered are several bones of the Great Auk. Of the human remains, which were tolerably numerous, a full description, occupying indeed the greater part of the volume, is given by Professor Huxley; and the discussion of general anthropological questions arising from their consideration will be found of the greatest importance and interest. Professor Huxley establishes a new sub-group of Dolichocephalic skulls under the name of subbrachycephali, by means of which the comparison of the skulls of different races may be rendered more exact, and this is of considerable service to him in the discussion of the relationship of the primaeval inhabitants of Caithness.--The Foreign Quarterly Review, Volume 85

Book excerpt: Caithness, the most northerly county in mainland Britain, is one of the richest cultural landscapes in Europe. The relative geographical isolation of the area, traditional landholding and the survival of large estates, combined with the use of flagstone as the main building material since earliest times, has ensured the survival of a wide range of monuments in a profusion unequalled elsewhere in Scotland. th In the 19 century, Caithness was at the forefront of archaeological endeavours with many sites central to our understanding of Scottish prehistory. Since then, despite intermittent activity, the archaeology of Caithness has become somewhat marginalised and there is a perception that there are only a handful of archaeological sites for visitors to enjoy and the archaeologist to uncover and interpret. However, the county is full of hidden riches and traces of the past are visible everywhere. Caithness is dominated by landscapes rich in archaeological remains of all periods; chambered cairns, stone settings, brochs, Pictish settlements, wags, castles, harbours and post-medieval settlement, amongst many others. The authors have presented a cross section of these monument types in an attempt to re-centre the county in archaeological and early historical narratives. For the last decade, the authors have been involved in a range of heritage projects in the county, thus allowing them time to discover, observe and consider its archaeology. Their peregrinations provided opportunities for deeper contemplation of the county's archaeology, the result of which is presented in some new interpretations and perspectives which convey the excitement of working on heritage in Caithness. Readership: this will be of great interest to all archaeologists, from enthusiasts to students and professionals. It will also appeal to visitors who are interested in the archaeological heritage and history of the county.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pre-Historic Remains of Caithness: With Notes on the Human Remains In presenting to the Museum of Scottish Antiquaries the interesting series of Pre-historic remains which I have had the good fortune to discover in Caithness, I think it desirable to place on record the principal facts connected with their discovery in a more complete form than was possible in the papers on the subject, which have been read at meetings of various learned Societies. I am further induced to adopt this course by the opportunity which it affords of giving illustrations of the objects for the benefit of those who may not have seen the originals, and more especially because it enables me to present to the scientific world the valuable remarks of Professor Huxley on the crania and skeletons, accompanied by accurate drawings which have been made under his superintendence. A few introductory remarks may be permitted in order to explain the objects with which these researches were undertaken by me during a short residence in Caithness in the course of the past autumn. The problem of British archaeology may be thus stated. We know the two extremes of a series. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
