Foster, S. and Cross, M. (Eds.) (2005) Able minds and practised hands: Scotland's early Medieval sculpture in the 21st century. Series: Society for Medieval Archaeology Monographs. Society for Medieval Archaeology: Leeds. ISBN 9781904350743

Abstract

One hundred years on from J Romilly Allen and Joseph Anderson's 1903 landmark publication, The Early Christian Monuments of Scotland, 26 essays explore the current state of knowledge of early medieval sculpture in Scotland. They demonstrate the unique value of this material in contributing to our understanding of the society and people that created it around 15000-1000 years ago. Today's approaches and techniques offer exciting new insights as well as great hope for what might be learnt from future study of 'familiar' and new material alike. Proceedings of a conference organised by Historic Scotland, the Society for Medieval Archaeology and the National Committee on Carved Stones in Scotland.
