Scotland's Rock Art Project Conference. Session 1.
Nick Parish, Callander Rock Art Team. Rock art, quarrying and querns
In late summer 2020, I visited Broughmore Wood, a remote moorland location near Stirling, to record the rock art there for ScRAP. This revealed a far more complex and extensive site than anticipated. Not only were rock art motifs present but what proved to be an extensive quernstone quarry was partially uncovered and a possible stone axe polishing surface was identified. This was brought to the attention of the Stirling District Archaeological Officer, Dr Murray Cook, and a volunteer-based excavation of the site is now underway under his supervision, which may extend well into next year. This presentation provides an overview of the Broughmore Wood site and how observations made here might be read across to other rock art sites. Questions are raised as to whether or not some 'rock art' may be a misinterpretation of extraction activities, and a possible association of the rosette motif at such sites is pointed out. A number of illustrative examples will be presented which have been gathered from a systematic examination of rock art records available online.
