(eds) medieval panel document. scottish archaeological research framework: society of antiquaries of scotland. available online at : http://www.scottishheritagehub.com/ a reconstruction of the longhouse and cairn excavated at lair. illustration by alan braby & coloured by gill mcswan the last ice age (c. 12,000-10,000 bc) the melting of the last ice sheets, and their associted melt-waters, created the framework of the landcsape we see today. as the climate warmed, soil began to form, followed by early herb and shrub colonisers, such as sedges, birch and juniper, which was in turn followed by woodland of ash, hazel and oak. the mesolithic (c. 8500-4000 bc) there is currently no eveidence for mesolithic – or middle stone age – activity in glenshee, however it is likely that hunter-gatherer groups from this time did explore the area. our total knowledge of the mesolithic in perth and kinross amounts to only 30-40 flint artefacts. the neolithic (c. 4000-2000 bc) while there are none of the classic neolithic - or new stone age - monuments, such as round barrows or chambered cairns, pollen evidence shows the sort of woodland clearance usualy associated with the arrival of the first farming communities of the neolithic. it is possible, however, that a number of ring-cairns, mounds of stones contained within upright kerb-stones and with a central open area, date from the end of this period. the bronze age (c. 2000-500 bc) unlike the earlier prehistoric periods, there is an explosion of bronze age remains throughout the area that reflect both an increase in overall population, and the warmer climate at that time, which allowed people to settle uplands that are now too exposed. the bronze age remains consist of farm buildings, field-systems, agricultural clearance cairns, as well as ritual and burial monuments like cairns, standing stones, and stone circles. bronze age buildings were large circular timber round-houses, that had stone and/or turf walls which survive as low circular earthworks. while now buried, associated field-dykes and clearance cairns, where small piles of stones were removed from ploughed fields, also survive and are visible both on the ground, and from the air. the iron age (c. 500 bc-500 ad) the bronze age saw a deterioration in climate with weather becoming increasingly colder and wetter. it is possible that many of the round-houses date to the iron age, though so few have been excavated we cannot say for sure. perhaps the sites lower in the valley section date to this period as the uplands became increasingly inhospitable. what is noticeable is that there are none of the classic iron age sites in glenshee: no hill-forts, duns or the fortified round-houses, or homesteads that are common in the glens and straths of north-western perthshire. the crannog on loch beanie is perhaps an exception to this rule, although it could date to any period from the later bronze age, and almost certainly remained in use until the 16th century (see middle ages below). the early medieval period (c. 500-1000 ad) while none of the pitcarmick-type builidngs of glenshee have yet been excavated, we can only assume that they date from a similar period in time as the excavated example from pitcarmick estate, strathardle: namely between the 8th and 11th centuries ad. it is possible that some of the farms date from the centuries either side of this bracket - only further excavation will tell. the middle ages (c. 1000-1600 ad) at the very end of the 16th century, the first map of the area is made by timothy pont, and can be viewed here: http://maps.nls.uk/pont/specialist/pont27.html while many sites discussed on this website appear on pont's map, perhaps one of the most remarkable features is the building shown on the crannog at loch beanie, which is annotated 'loch sesatut, sumtyms ye dwelling of ye chief man of glenshy and strathardle'. gordon (1636/1648) notes 'l. sesatur old chief dwelling of gle
