14,000 Hunting kit found in Scotland

People in ancient times did get around more than most people think and traded. How about this one, a roman helmet and roman coins were discovered at the South Point of the island of Hawaii at the outbreak of WWII. It is said that a roman helmet was the basis for the headdress the Hawaiian King wore. Of course the headdress also looks like those worn by Tibetan monks. PS: I also know people on the island that have never left the island

thats useful information you have given!the archealogists have done a good job and it will definetly prove helpful into knowing the origin of scots and their nature in those days.

Very interesting. As the article says, these people were hunter gatherers and as such they followed the herds in there seasonal migrations over quite long distances. This was probably the site of a summer hunting camp on the edge of the Scottish ice cap. Incidentally, so archaeologists have suggested that at least one Paleolithic culture in North America originated with people of the Solutrean culture of France who migrated over the sea ice from Europe to North America. Not an impossible journey using skin boats similar to those of the Inuit and hunting seal en route.

I love to learn about things like this also. It is very fascinating at times. I really like learning about how things came about ro used to be.

That is fascinating! I always loved the history of ancient people and how they evolved.

I have looked over the artical allready. It looks very intersteding. jsut reading about this stuff realy gets mindbogging.

Wow, that's a very interesting article, but maybe just a little misleading? Yes, I'm aware that there are defences in the Scottish cliffs and close to, against the Danes/Vikings and any other marauders from the North Sea, but this was in the extreme south of Scotland... only just over the border in fact, and the Vikings could have approached from England. The reason why I though this is that in the Ice Age there was this adjoining piece of land which is now, obviously corroded away under the sea. This piece of land joined England to Europe, and I believe ran between England's south coast and France, so unless there was another "bridge" of ice or something, in the North Sea, it seems unlikely the Vikings would land directly in Scotland. Having said all that though, I'm sure there were Viking settlements in the south of Scotland, and the weapons in the original article to the one you've linked, show at least one very likely weapon, and some other, archaeological pictures. Brightest Blessings my friend.

Maybe I missed it, but I don't think the article stated how the find was made.

Hello Sweets Interesting article. I have a bit of Scot's blood running through my veins so when I see Scotland I perk up. It's amazing it wasn't found prior to now! xoxoxoxoxo

Hi Elic, This fasinatating, you learn sonething everyday. Tamara

Interesting information you have shared with us. I find it amazing that some lost object can be unearthed and scientists are able to tell how old it is.
