A crannog is a kind of artificial island, usually found on lakes, rivers and estuaries in Scotland and Ireland, that were used as dwellings over five millenia from the European Neolithic Period. On Wednesday April 24, The Archeological Institute of America, along with the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the classics department and the department of archeology present a lecture on this and other prehistoric mysteries of Scotland.
The lecture, at 5:30 pm in room S150 of the Lamar Dodd School of Art, features Celtic archeologist Nick Dixon of Edinburgh University. Free and open to the public.
