Scottish Prehistory by Richard D Oram

This handbook on the archaeology of prehistoric Scotland incorporates a gazetteer of key sites and monuments. It ranges from the seventh millennium BC, through the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age, to the emergence of the early historic kingdoms after the Celtic Iron Age. Advances in new technology have resulted in many discoveries and revisions of previously held ideas about prehistoric Scotland. This book includes the latest published research and excavation results, as well as reviewing past theories and new ideas, and presents them in a manner accessible to a general audience. Richard Oram is the author of "Moray and Badenoch - a Historical Guide" and "Angus - a Historical Guide".

Richard D. Oram gained an MA (Hons) in Medieval History with Archaeology and a PhD in Medieval History, both from the University of St Andrews. He is currently Professor of Medieval and Environmental History at the University of Stirling. A former Director of the Centre for Environmental History and Policy and member of the Historic Environment Advisory Council for Scotland, he is now a Trustee of the National Museums of Scotland.
