Description: | Excavated material consists of shells (limpets, whelks, marine snails, oysters), bones (including cattle) soil samples, burnt material, coarse pottery.
Also includes glass and pottery sherds (19th Century - modern).
The finds originate from two areas: 'Jonathan's Cave' and 'Well Cave'. MacKie was interested in the Iron Age and Early Christian occupations, publishing a Hunterian Museum report titled 'The Wemyss Caves, Fife', with J. Glaister.
Wemyss caves were later investigated by Channel 4's 'Time Team' in June 2004. This site was excavated by Ewan MacKie in 1981. | Subjects: | Archaeology | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Address: | University of Glasgow,
