Islands in a Common Sea – Archaeologies and Archaeologists in the Isles of Scilly and the Western Isles
Jacqui Mulville (Cardiff University, UK)
After 17 years of fieldwork in the Western Isles concluded I began to work on a different set of Atlantic Islands, the Isles of Scilly. This paper is an account of the archaeologies and histories of these two island groups; in particular the contrasts between my experiences of the archaeology, the islanders attitudes to their background and the manner in which this becomes translated into the visitor’s perceptions and broader cultural definitions.
