	The Hebridean Iron Age - Twenty Years Research
		The material assemblages of the Hebridean Iron Age are contrasted with the impoverished and relatively aceramic material culture of lowland Scotland and northern England, and the importance of the western seaways in later prehistoric and early historic times as a distinctive cultural region is emphasised.
		The central highlands of Scotland, however, where in later prehistory and into early historic times settlement focused upon the major inland lochs and waterways (Henderson, 1998), manifesting itself conspicuously in the dense distribution of crannogs, was effectively disenfranchised by Piggott’s scheme.
		Heald’s work on the non-ceramic artefacts of Atlantic Scotland at this period will equally demand that new criteria for the recovery of metalworking materials be built into the operational strategy of any future excavation from the outset, and not just responsively as too often has been the case in the past.

	Voyages - 2002, Barra, Vattersay, Sandray, Pabbay, Mingulay, Berneray (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		After picking up some supplies, I sailed on further south, exploring the east side of Vatersay, which is now linked to Barra by a short causeway, before moving out into the Atlantic where I continued down past the islands of Sandray, Pabbay, Mingulay and Berneray.
		And then Berneray - or Barra Head as it is often known - came into view as I pulled away from beneath the cliffs.
		On my way back, I also tried to land on Pabbay but, because the swell from the south east was as bad, if not worse, as it was on Mingulay (where I was all but thrown out of my dinghy as I tried to leave the beach), I decided against it.
