Early Medieval Northern Britain. Vellum: From skin to scripture. January 2, 2015. March 20, 2015. Ten years ago while excavating the site of a Pictish monastery on the outskirts of Portmahomack, Easter Ross, archaeologists made a curious discovery. Several bones from the feet of cattle, some sharpened, were found mixed with small white pebbles, a curved knife and heaps of seaweed ash. What they had discovered was a vellum workshop. In the absence of local limestone the Portmahomack community turned to th...
