This book provides a refreshed view of the lost medieval guise of the castle, of its 13th-century origins and form, and of who was responsible for building it, allowing the castle to be positioned accurately in the complex dynamics of powerholding and display of the earls of Ross and associated militarized kindreds of the west Highlands during six centuries of change up to the castle's destruction in 1719. A new history and the details of the below-ground archaeology allow us to see the lost medieval castle in our mind's eye 500 years after it vanished. Focusing on the huge amount of archaeological material unearthed during the campaign shows the castle hosted master craftspeople including goldsmiths, shipwrights and hereditary swordsmiths. Exquisite personal items, decorative mail armor and weapons, musical instruments, gaming pieces, imported pottery and animal bones bring the castle and its inhabitants back to life"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology) 607 $aHighlands (Scotland)$xDescription and travel 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a930.1 700 $aShakespeare$b Cecily$01848023 701 $aClark$b Jonathan$01797561 701 $aGarner-Lahire$b Justin$01848024 701 $aOram$b Richard D$01809700 701 $aToop$b Nicola$01848025 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911026022903321 996 $aEilean Donan Castle$94462578 997 $aUNINA
