Description
Summary:An account of M Buchanan's excavations on the mesolithic and later site on Oronsay in 1911–12 is given, based on mss in the Hunlerian Museum.

The tools are catalogued and analysed, and appear to include material dating to most periods from mesolithic limes down to the early bronze age.
