Extract

Roman Scotland provides a unique opportunity to examine archaeological sites which represent uncomplicated, often single, phases of activity. Rather than the usual palimpsests seen in the sites in the rest of the island, resulting from centuries of occupation, Scotland has been the archaeological equivalent of a highwater mark, only briefly inundated by the Spring tides of the Roman Empire during the Flavian, Antonine, and Severan periods.
