Scotland in Pagan Times; The Iron Age

"Scotland in Pagan Times; The Iron Age" by Joseph Anderson, explores the Pagan period in ancient Scotland, particularly the Iron Age, through a series of detailed lectures. The heart of the work lies in examining burial customs and unearthed artifacts, thus revealing aspects of the culture and civilization of that era. Anderson distinguishes Pagan customs from Christian ones, pointing out the archaeological value of items found in Pagan graves and cremation sites. He presents the transformation from Pagan to Christian burial traditions in Scotland, while discovering Pagan roots in Christian ceremonies. Anderson establishes a systematic way to examine archaeological evidence so as to comprehend a culture.
