Journal Article
Reid, V., Milek, K., O'Brien, C., Sveinbjarnarson, Ó. G., & Noble, G. (2024). The role of geoarchaeology in the interpretation of fragmented buildings and occupation surfaces: The case of coastal settlements in northeast Scotland. Geoarchaeology, 39(3), 238-267. https://doi.org/10.1002/gea.21990

Around the world, poorly preserved buildings and occupation deposits often represent the primary evidence for archaeological structures and settlements. Integrated geoarchaeological methods, such as soil chemistry and micromorphology, can be used to...

Revealing the invisible floor: Integrated geoarchaeological analyses of ephemeral occupation surfaces at an early medieval farmhouse in upland Perthshire, Scotland (2023)
Journal Article
Reid, V., Milek, K., O'Brien, C., Sneddon, D., & Strachan, D. (2023). Revealing the invisible floor: Integrated geoarchaeological analyses of ephemeral occupation surfaces at an early medieval farmhouse in upland Perthshire, Scotland. Journal of Archaeological Science, 159, Article 105825. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2023.105825

Poorly defined occupation surfaces restrict the ability to interpret the use of space in archaeological structures and settlements around the world. Integrated geoarchaeological methods, such as soil chemistry and micromorphology, can provide informa...

A process of elimination? Reviewing the fragmented settlement record of eastern Pictland and its implications for future research (2021)
Journal Article
Reid, V. (2021). A process of elimination? Reviewing the fragmented settlement record of eastern Pictland and its implications for future research

The evidence for early medieval settlement across Scotland’s eastern mainland is varied and whilst we continue to gain sites through new research and developer-led projects, our interpretation of the record is not advancing at an equal rate. Structur... Read More about A process of elimination? Reviewing the fragmented settlement record of eastern Pictland and its implications for future research.

Risk and resources: an evaluation of the ability of national soil datasets to predict post-depositional processes in archaeological sites and heritage at risk (2021)
Journal Article
Reid, V., & Milek, K. (2021). Risk and resources: an evaluation of the ability of national soil datasets to predict post-depositional processes in archaeological sites and heritage at risk. Heritage, 4(2), 725-758. https://doi.org/10.3390/heritage4020041

Previous studies have demonstrated the vast range of physical, chemical and biological processes that influence the preservation of archaeological sites, yet characterisation at the site-level remains largely unexplored. National datasets on soil typ...
