Neolithic Pits, a Bronze Age Cremation and an Early Iron Age Ring-Ditch at Newton Farm, Cambuslang, Lanarkshire
2009
Fieldwork at Newton Farm, Cambuslang (NGR NS 672 610) was undertaken in advance of housing development in 2005-6.
A cluster of six shallow Neolithic pits were excavated, and a collection of 157 round-based, carinated bowl sherds and a quern fragment were recovered from them. The pits produced a date range of 3700 to 3360 cal BC. Most of the pits yielded burnt material, and one of the pits showed evidence of in situ burning. The pottery may form 'structured deposits'.
A Bronze Age adult cremation placed in a Food Vessel dated to 3610±30 BP (2040-1880 cal BC) was set in a wider landscape of single and multiple cremations and inhumations on the river terraces overlooking the Clyde. A possible unurned cremation was also identified. This was cut by the course of a small ring-ditch dated to the very late Bronze Age or early Iron Age 2520±30 BP (800-530cal BC).

Remains of a multi-palisaded and ditched enclosure were identified during an archaeological watching brief and evaluation carried out in July 2007. In accordance with planning conditions an archaeological excavation was subsequently undertaken between August and December 2007, on behalf of Mar Estates Ltd. The excavation identified two phases of construction at the enclosure, the multiple palisades and entrance dating to the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and a large ditch dating to the Middle-Late Iron Age. A Bronze Age burnt mound was found nearby.

The dissertation considers the conflicting discourses that characterize the 19th-century sub-genre of the American popular novel that Nina Baym calls \"woman's fiction,\" specifically in: Catharine Sedgwick's A New-England Tale (1822), Mary Virginia Hawes Terhune's Moss-Side (1857), and Augusta Evans Wilson's St. Elmo (1867). Susan Harris identifies in woman's fiction a tension between the sub-genre's \"cover story,\" which supports dominant cultural models, and a subversive counter-discourse. Referring to social and literary criticism that discusses the impact on Western culture of the Kantian shift in philosophy, the study suggests this narrative tension is in part a rhetorical expression of the tension between subject and object that characterizes the nineteenth century. Drawing on M. M. Bakhtin, Roland Barthes, Helene Cixous, and American feminist critics, including Baym, Harris, Judith Fetterley, and Joanne Dobson, the dissertation traces the rhetorical and cultural exploration of the subject/object dilemma that can be seen in woman's fiction between 1820 and 1870. The distinguishing elements of the sub-genre are identified in A New-England Tale (1822): a narrative and rhetorical engagement with subject/object relations, an engagement with the subject/object debate through cultural issues, and a resistance to closure regarding that debate. Moss-Side (1857) is characterized by palpable binary tension, both in narrative and rhetorical strategies and in ideological debate over women's rights and slavery. Putatively binary cultural and narrative oppositions, however, are rhetorically deconstructed in this text, pointing the way to the destabilization of subject/object relations that takes place in St. Elmo (1867). The chief tension in this later novel is not between subject and object, but is instead between the textual conventions of earlier woman's fiction and a self-reflexive and heavily intertextual discourse that seeks to redefine those conventions. In place of the confidently governing subjects that order the earlier texts, a deconstructionist rhetorical impulse problematizes the hierarchical subject/text relationship in St. Elmo, and the author-izing subject is thereby de-centered, removed from its privileged position in the binary hierarchy. St. Elmo's engagement with the subject/object dilemma transforms woman's fiction, introducing a pluralist discourse that anticipates the literary complexity of modernism and the narrative strategies of hypertext.
