Cladh Hallan
Cladh Hallan submitted by h_fenton : the 'female' mummy - Cladh Hallan, near Daliburgh, South Uist. August 2001 (Vote or comment on this photo)
Round Houses in North Uist, found to contain evidence of the only known prehistoric mummies in the UK. Between 1989 and 2002 archaeologists had the opportunity to investigate two of these mounds on the machair, as they were being dug into for sand quarrying.

Both are located 300m west of the modern graveyard - Cladh Hallan - in Daliburgh. The one north of the track (which runs from the radiomast to the sea) was largely destroyed by quarrying in the 1980s and early 1990s but the one to the south was rescued in time and has yielded some extraordinary discoveries. Other remains from this period survive in the vicinity and are mostly buried under deep sand. Sadly, many were destroyed over a hundred years ago when the stones from prehistoric houses were dug out to build the graveyard wall.

One burial was most extraordinary. It was the skeleton not of one man but of three. The head and neck was of one man, the jaw from a second and the rest of the body from a third. The head and jaw, like the woman and infant, were about 300-400 years old before burial but the body belonged to a man who had died 500 years earlier. The only way that these skeletons could have maintained their form over so many centuries was if some of the connective soft tissue had remained intact. In the western Scottish climate, even if the weather was slightly better than today, this would not have been possible without artificial preservation of the flesh. There was no sign that the mummification methods were anything like as complex as those practised in Ancient Egypt at that time and this appears to have been an entirely local innovation.

Visiting the site
You can see the outlines of the terraced row of roundhouses in the former sand quarry, reconstructed in stone. Don't forget that the area excavated is just a small part of a much bigger settlement - about 90% of the mound has not yet been excavated. If you walk over the top of the mound, south of the excavated area, you will get a good idea of its former size. The remains of the better preserved of the two double-roundhouses can be visited on the north side of the track, about 200 metres nearer the sea. It was built on top of a sand dune but now stands isolated by the quarry around it. Please take care when visiting - ankles are easily twisted by stumbling into a rabbit burrow when walking on the machair.

Finding Cladh Hallan
The site can be reached from Kildonan Museum by driving south to Daliburgh (Dalabrog). Take the right turn at the Borrodale Hotel and immediately turn right again, past the public bar's car park, on the road which leads westwards. Past St Peter's Church, Daliburgh, turn right again at the T-junction and head for the radiomast. At the radio mast, just before reaching the modern graveyard, turn left along the sandy track and follow it for about 500 metres. You may find it best to park at the radio mast and walk along this track but it is normally driveable. As the track swings round to the left you will be able to see the main site on your left (south) and the smaller site a couple of hundred metres further on to your right. Park along the road on the flat of the quarry area north of the track but be careful not to get stuck!

Mummification in Bronze Age Britain by Andy B on Monday, 29 April 2019
(User Info | Send a Message)
Mummification in Bronze Age Britain - Thomas J. Booth, Andrew T. Chamberlain and Mike Parker Pearson

Intentional mummification is a practice usually associated with early Egyptian or Peruvian societies, but new evidence suggests that it may also have been widespread in prehistoric Britain, and possibly in Europe more generally. Following the discovery of mummified Bronze Age skeletons at the site of Cladh Hallan in the Western Isles of Scotland, a method of analysis has been developed that can consistently identify previously mummified skeletons. The results demonstrate that Bronze Age populations throughout Britain practised mummification on a proportion of their dead, although the criteria for selection are not yet certain.

The Scottish Mummies of Cladh Hallan by Andy B on Thursday, 01 November 2012
(User Info | Send a Message)
Gerry Palmer writes: Two skeletons from Cladh Hallan, on South Uist in the Western Isles Scotland, seem to have been deliberately mummified – and one was only buried an estimated five hundred years after he died, both of the skeletons provide evidence of mummification and post mortem manipulation of body parts. Perhaps these practices were widespread in Bronze Age Britain?

Based on radiocarbon evidence from the male’s skull and the female’s tibia, the male is believed to have died around 1600 BC, and the female at around 1300 BC. However, other tests showed they were both buried around 1120 BC.

The Cladh Hallan Mummies represent the only proof, to date, that Britons in the Bronze Age practiced mummification. The remains exhibit strong evidence that the bodies were preserved by placing them in an acidic environment, probably a peat bog. The preservation effect of peat bogs would have been well known at the time as people would regularly have seen preserved artefacts as they dug up the peat to fuel their fires.

As an interesting aside, the male mummy actually predates Tutankhamun by several hundred years!

DNA Analysis reveals "Frankenstein" Bog Mummies by Andy B on Thursday, 12 July 2012
(User Info | Send a Message)
In a "eureka" moment worthy of Dr. Frankenstein, scientists have discovered that two 3,000-year-old Scottish "bog bodies" are actually made from the remains of six people, one made from people who died a few hundred years apart.

According to new isotopic dating and DNA experiments, the mummies—a male and a female—were assembled from various body parts, although the purpose of the gruesome composites is likely lost to history.

The mummies were discovered more than a decade ago below the remnants of 11th-century houses at Cladh Hallan, a prehistoric village on the island of South Uist (map), off the coast of Scotland.

The bodies had been buried in the fetal position 300 to 600 years after death. (See bog body pictures.)

Based on the condition and structures of the skeletons, scientists had previously determined that the bodies had been placed in a peat bog just long enough to preserve them and then removed. The skeletons were then reburied hundreds of years later.

Terry Brown, a professor of biomedical archaeology at the University of Manchester, said there were clues that these bog bodies were more than they seemed.

On the female skeleton, "the jaw didn't fit into the rest of the skull," he said. "So Mike [Parker Pearson, of Sheffield University] came and said, Could we try to work it out through DNA testing?"

Brown sampled DNA from the female skeleton's jawbone, skull, arm, and leg. The results show that bones came from different people, none of whom even shared the same mother, he said.

The female is made from body parts that date to around the same time period. But isotopic dating showed that the male mummy is made from people who died a few hundred years apart.

The new paper about the composite female mummy appears in the August issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science.

Mummies in Outer Hebrides were made of different body parts by Andy B on Friday, 23 September 2011
(User Info | Send a Message)
Tests on prehistoric mummies found in the Outer Hebrides have revealed that they were made of body parts from several different people - but arranged to look like one person.

The four bodies discovered in 2001 on South Uist are the first evidence in Britain of deliberate mummification.

It is thought the body parts may have come from people in the same families - and were used for spiritual guidance. The skeletons looked very unusual - like Peruvian mummies.

Sheffield University's Prof Mike Parker Pearson said the mummies had not been buried straight after preservation.

A team from the University of Sheffield first uncovered the remains of a three-month-old-child, a possible young female adult, a female in her 40s and a male under the prehistoric village of Cladh Hallan.

But recent DNA tests on the remains carried out by the University of Manchester, show that the "female burial", previously identified as such because of the pelvis of the skeleton, was in fact a composite.

It was made up of three different people, and some parts, such as the skull, were male.

Radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analysis showed that the male mummy was also a composite.

Prof Parker Pearson, an expert in the Bronze Age and burial rituals has a theory about why the mummies were put together this way.

"These could be kinship components, they are putting lineages together, the mixing up of different people's body parts seems to be a deliberate act," he said.

"I don't believe these 'mummies' were buried immediately, but played an active part in society, as they do in some tribal societies in other parts of the world."

    Scottish prehistoric mummies made from jigsaw of body parts by bat400 on Wednesday, 14 March 2012
    (User Info | Send a Message)
    Coldrum sends an article with some additional information from Sheffield University's Prof Mike Parker Pearson.

    Prof Parker Pearson, an expert in the Bronze Age and burial rituals has a theory about why the mummies were put together this way. "I don't believe these 'mummies' were buried immediately, but played an active part in society, as they do in some tribal societies in other parts of the world."

    He said as part of ancestral worship, the mummies probably would have been asked for spiritual advice to help the community make decisions.
    Archaeologists found the mummies in the foundations of a row of unusual Bronze Age terraced roundhouses.
    But after being radiocarbon dated, all were found to have died between 300 and 500 years before the houses were built, meaning they had been kept above ground for some time by their descendants.

    Further tests showed that the bones had become demineralised, a process caused by placing a body in an acidic environment like a peat bog.

    The degree of demineralisation on the bones found showed that after death, the bodies had been placed in bogs for about a year to mummify them before being recovered.

    Mr Parker Pearson said he believed there may be more examples of deliberate mummification in Britain that have been missed by archaeologists up until now.



    Early results are proving to be promising, as a sample from remains in Cambridge show that bacterial decay was halted at some point after death.

Mummification in Bronze Age Britain by Andy B on Friday, 23 September 2011
(User Info | Send a Message)
According to sensational archaeological discoveries currently being made in Scotland, Bronze Age Britons were practising the art of mummification at the same time as 'mummy culture' was in full swing in Pharaonic Egypt. It appears that ancient Britons invented this skill for themselves - as David Keys explain

A team of archaeologists, led by Dr Mike Parker Pearson of Sheffield University, has recently found the remains of what are believed to be two mummified Bronze Age bodies, buried under the floor of a prehistoric house at Cladh Hallan on the Hebridean Island of South Uist. The house in which the mummy skeletons were buried was part of a unique Bronze Age complex, which is as mysterious as the preserved corpses that were buried there.

The find is the first evidence of deliberate mummification carried out in ancient times ever found in Britain - and is without doubt one of the most important archaeological discoveries made in recent years.

The Prehistoric Village at Cladh Hallan by Andy B on Monday, 19 April 2010
(User Info | Send a Message)
South Uist's machair was densely populated in prehistory, from around 2000 BC until the end of the Viking period around AD 1300. The machair is a kilometre-wide strip of shell sand along the west coast of the islands which is today covered by grassland. It forms a flat plain in some places and hillocks or grassed-over dunes in others. It was formed in the Neolithic period, about 5000 years ago, when the earliest farming communities lived here. The whole character of the Uists changed at that time. As the western coastal plain was inundated with this sand, brought up by storms from the Atlantic seabed, the woodlands covering the islands also disappeared around 2500 BC and were replaced by blanket bog and heather in the mountains and peatlands of the east.

Ancient Scots Mummified Their Dead by coldrum on Monday, 12 November 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
Ancient Scots Mummified Their Dead

The ancient Egyptians were not the only ones to mummify their dead, according to a study in this month's Antiquity Journal that claims prehistoric Scottish people created mummies too.

The researchers do not think the Egyptians influenced the Scots, but that mummification arose independently in the two regions.

Initial evidence for Scottish mummies was announced in 2005, when archaeologists unearthed three preserved bodies — an adult female, an adult male and an infant — buried underneath two Bronze Age roundhouses in South Uist, Hebrides, at a site called Cladh Hallan. The bodies date to between 1300 and 1500 B.C.

"Distinctive microscopic and chemical changes in the bones showed that the bodies had not been placed in the ground immediately after death, but had been subject to conditions that may have enhanced their preservation," said Andrew Chamberlain, who worked on both the 2005 and the more recent investigations.

Chamberlain, a University of Sheffield archaeologist, told Discovery News that the new evidence relates to the female mummy's knee.

Analysis of her remains, led by researcher Christie Cox, shows her knee was broken off prior to burial but long after her death. The scientists found the knee buried at another part of the site.

The knee "adds to the evidence for manipulation of the body parts long after death," Chamberlain said, adding that the bones were dry before they were snapped apart.

The name Cladh Hallan used for this site is taken from the nearby cemetery (c.200m east), this cemetery is on a hill. my understanding (as told locally in 2001) is that in this instance, 'Cladh' means 'Churchyard' or 'Cemetery' and 'Hallan' means 'Hill'.

I would like to know the origin of the place name "Hallan." Hallan is my 1880-Ayrshire-born grandfather's surname and I've been searching for family members and family history for years.
