- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph is the culmination of ten-year campaign of excavations undertaken by the author between 1995 and 2004. The volume presents the detailed evidence for the stratigraphic sequence of structures and occupation deposits from two major settlement mounds that span the period from cAD800 to AD1400. The results are contextualised with a substantial discussion which places the site in their local and international context and provides an innovative analysis of the use of domestic space in a Norse settlement. The volume has 696 pages and the overwhelming bulk of it was either solely or jointly written by the author.

- Additional information
- The attributed author directed the excavations at Bornais, South Uist from 1995 and has coordinated the post excavation programme of analysis and publication. He edited this substantial volume (696 pages) which includes 11 chapters where he was the co-author of most of the text, and two chapters (1 and 13) where he was the sole author of the majority of the text. These two chapters include substantive discussions of the Norse settlement of the North Atlantic and explain how the excavations have transformed our understanding of this important period.
