Three distinct ecological zones - grassland machair plain, peaty blackland and mountains - each bear the imprint of human occupation over many millennia. The machair strip, long uninhabited, is filled with hundreds of settlement mounds, occupied from the Beaker period 4,000 years ago until a few centuries ago. The blacklands bear the traces of past farming practices as well as the remains of medieval settlements, more recent blackhouses and lochs containing duns, broch 410 0$aSheffield environmental and archaeological research campaign in the Hebrides (Series) ;$vv. 4. 606 $aArchaeological surveying$zScotland$zSouth Uist 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zScotland$zSouth Uist 606 $aArchaeology and history$zScotland$zSouth Uist 607 $aSouth Uist (Scotland)$xAntiquities 615 0$aArchaeological surveying 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aArchaeology and history 676 $a936.1/14 676 $a936.114 701 $aParker Pearson$b Michael$f1957-$01215990 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910552997003321 996 $aFrom machair to mountains$92809896 997 $aUNINA
