Scottish Lake Dwellings.

Scotland, it appears, can boast OF its
ancient lake jewellers, though these
seem to have lived at later date
than their brethren in Switzerland. In
Wigstownshire the lake jewellers or
crannoges were especially numerous,
the lakes being literally studded with
these curious habitations. OF the tools,
etc., found near these crannoges, stone
objects are comparatively few, while
those of bone, horn and wood are num-
erous. Military remains are only feebly
represented by few iron daggers and
spearheads, one or two doubtful arrow
points and quantity of so-called
pebbles and sling-stones. On the other
hand. very large percentage of the
articles consists of querns, hammer
stones, polishers, flint-tiakes and scrap
ers, stone and clay spindle whorls,
pins, needles and bodkins, knife-han-
dies of red-deer horn, together with
many other implements of the same
material; bowls, ladies and other ves-
sells of wood, some of which were
turned on the laths; knives, axes, saws,
hammers, cbisels and guages Of iron;
several crucibles, Jumps of iron Stag
and other remains of metals, etc.
From all these, not to mention the
great variety of ornaments, there can
be no ambiguity rs to the testimony
they afford of the peaceful prosecution
of various arts and industries by the
lake-dwellers.
OF the food used by these ancient
lake-dwellers an examination of the
osseous remains taken from the lake
dwellers OF Deviation, Lochlee, and
Buston. shows that the Celtic short
horn (Bos longifrons), the so-called
goat-horned sheep. (Ovis aries, var,
brachyura). and domestic breed Of
pigs were largely consumed. The
horse was only scantily used. The
number of bones and horns of the red
deer means rare addition to the list
of their dietary. Among birds only
the goose has been Unidentified, but this
is no criterion of the extent of their en-
croachmcnt on the feathered tribe, as
only the larger bones were collected
and reported upon. To this bill of fare
the occupieas of Lochspout Crannog,
being comparatively near the sea, add
ed several kinds of shell-fish. In all
the lake dwellings the broken shells of
hazel nuts were in profuse abundance.
