What must be stated is that this isn’t the initial time this
more prehistoric dating of these crannogs had been presented. In year 1996, the
Professor of the Archaeology at the Edinburgh University, Dr. Ian Armit,
published the seminal book, “Archaeology of the Skye and Western Isles wherein
he wrote down “In places like this Outer Hebrides of the Scotland, timber had
been unavailable from Neolithic age and onwards. As an outcome, the total stone
crannogs sustaining Drystone architecture had been very common there.”
Moreover, in year 2011, the professor, Dr. Jean-Denis Lepage
advertised one of the top user friendly architectural record books ever advertised,
the British Fortification through the Reigns of Richard III: The Illustrated
History. With this magical journey illustrating the prehistoric relationship
with the stones, it’s written there; “Archaeological evidences at the Crannogs
in western Isles showed evidences that they were applied during the different periods
in between 4000 to 2000bc.
The latest report stated:
“The research had demonstrated the extensive occurrence of
Neolithic crannogs at the Outer Hebrides, ultimately confirming different
scholarly speculation regarding the probability of their existence.”
The pioneers such as Dr. Lepage and Dr. Armit, in year 1996
and year 2011 respectfully, having no doubts be thrilled of this new research and
which has been scientifically verified - for the primary moment - that crannogs
were really a widespread trait of the Neolithic, and being built as first as
4000 BC, and with the evidences of radiocarbon way back up to the timeline.
