- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph is the culmination of ten-year campaign of excavations undertaken by the author. It presents a detailed account of the material recovered from a Norse settlement in the Outer Hebrides. The author coordinated and directed the programme of analysis and has edited all the reports. He is directly responsible for many of the reports on the artefacts which make up over 50% of the volume and wrote many of the catalogue entries. The discussion includes a consideration of the significance of the results and places these in a theoretical context that advances our understanding of the period.
