阿伯丁郡的邓尼凯尔（Dunnicaer）现在是一个孤立的海栈，是世纪发现的五块皮克特人标志石的发现地。从2015年到2017年的考古发掘揭示了一个罗马铁器时代的海角堡垒，为苏格兰东北部强化定居的发展提供了见解，强化遗址是该地区公元第一个千年精英实践的关键特征。稀有和不寻常的发现的存在表明与罗马世界的接触向南和定居的性质的变化，如在Dunnicaer证明表明更广泛的过渡，在罗马铁器时代后期的本地社会。Dunnicaer的考古序列揭示了公元第一个千年苏格兰采用非圆形房屋建筑风格的新情况，并为皮克特符号传统的约会提供了重要证据。考虑到海岸侵蚀对这种性质的海角的影响，这些海角是最受威胁的考古遗址之一。
ABSTRACT Dunnicaer, Aberdeenshire, a now isolated sea stack, is the findspot of five Pictish symbol stones discovered in the nineteenth century. Excavations from 2015 to 2017 have revealed a Roman Iron Age promontory fort, providing insights into the development of fortified settlement in north-east Scotland, with fortified sites being a key feature of first millennium AD elite practice in this region. The presence of rare and unusual finds indicates contact with the Roman world to the south and changes in the character of settlement as evidenced at Dunnicaer indicate broader transitions in the later Roman Iron Age native society. The archaeological sequence at Dunnicaer sheds new light on the adoption of non-roundhouse styles of architecture in first millennium AD Scotland and provides important evidence for the dating of the Pictish symbol tradition. A consideration of the impacts of coastal erosion on promontories of this nature suggests these are amongst the most threatened archaeological sites.
