Precious little, say we. To understand the British spirit one must understand British spirits, which is to say Beer. From the rich mixture of civilizations that has flourished in this land has emerged the true essence of English life: the village pub, where ales, bitters, porters, stouts, and other hop-and-barley concoctions abound in such profusion as to daunt even the hardiest tippler. Long the bastion of all that is good and true in British culture, the pub occupies the place today that it has held for many centuries, as the spot where society is daily glued together through the medium of beer. To appreciate Britain's heritage to the fullest one must therefore go afoot, or in the later hours of the day aknee, among the pubs, the true heart of the

Caithness Archaeological Project Directors: Andrew Heald (aheald@nms.ac.uk (ajackson@hsy1.ssc.ed.ac.uk CONTENTS Abstract Introduction Sir Francis Tress Barry Research Agenda ... References North Eastern Caithness: Image taken from Landsat 7 March 20th 2000, 30m resolution resampled to15m. Supported by, National Museums of Scotland Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, Russell Trust Pages created by Adam Jackson 19/04/01 ABSTRACT The Caithness Archaeological Project was initiated in the summer of 2000 with the first stage focussing on the re-survey of 9 broch settlements excavated by Sir Francis Tress Barry and published by Anderson (1901). Operating alongside re-survey, a re-analysis of surviving collections donated by Tress Barry to the National Museum of Scotland is currently in progress. Excavations are to commence in the summer of 2001 at one of these brochs (Everley, nr. Freswick Bay) for the purposes of characterising and understanding both Barry's work and the site itself. INTRODUCTION The archaeological potential of Caithness has never been in doubt. More than a century ago A.H. Rhind noted that 'perhaps, with the exception of some districts in the Orkney Islands, there is no tract of country in all Scotland of similar extent that can furnish the archaeologist with so many examples of primeval skill' (in Stuart 1868, 292-3). Work since has confirmed this suggestion (Laing 1868; Anderson 1873a; 1873b; 1901; Calder 1948; Mercer 1980; 1981; 1985; Fairhurst 1984; Swanson 1988; Foster 1990; Batey 1984; 1987a; 1987b; 1991).

Galleries and Displays Index History and Applied Art Ancient Egypt This ever-popular gallery on the first floor contains many remarkable objects. There are mummies, of course, but also jewellery, ancient bread and fruit, royal sculpture, writing instruments, children's toys, and much more, all building up a vivid picture of life and death in Ancient Egypt. Highlights include the head of a shawabti-figure of the heretic king Akhenaten, and the beautiful little gold fish pendant made as a charm to protect a child from drowning. At the heart of the gallery a special section, The Underworld of the Tomb, explores death and the afterlife. (5-14 Teacher's Information Pack available.) The Mummy Project The Saqqara Project Foreign Ethnography On the second floor is the Wider World gallery. On display are objects from African tribal groups, Pacific horticulturalists, and peoples from the North American plains who adapted their subsistence by means of the horse and the gun. There are some extraordinary objects on display, ranging from domestic tools to powerful fetish figures. The gallery was created to demonstrate the sophistication of the artistry of these peoples, manifested, for example, in spectacular work in ivory and bronze from 16th-century Benin in Nigeria.
