A diet of limpets? - new work by Scotland's First Settlers Project (SFS) on the early settlement of the Inner Sound, West Scotland - C V Wickham-Jones 

Work is concentrated on the coastal area, taking into account both current and ancient coastlines, in order to gather information on the lifestyle of the nomadic Mesolithic dwellers who used these coast 9000-5000 years ago. The work of the project comprises three main strands: coastal survey; test pitting; and excavation. At the time of speaking, survey work has found an astonishing 131 new sites. These comprise 1000 caves and rockshelters, 22 open lithic scatters, and nine open shell middens. Of the newly found sites 48 have been test-pitted, in order to asssess preservation and date. Although some sites have yielded stone tools, suggesting a prehsitoric date, not all of the test-pitted sites are Mesolithic. See web site: - www.moray.ac.uk/ccs/settlers.htm
