Looking at Fort George, Scotland, Though Metal Artifacts

Summary
This is an abstract from the "Military Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Built outside of Inverness, Scotland, Fort George’s construction was started shortly after the end of the last Jacobite Rebellion in 1746. The massive show of force has never been engaged in any combat but has served as a barracks and training site for the British Army since it’s completion in 1769. This paper looks at the construction and use of Fort George though an assemblage of metal artifacts. Collected by a hobbyist detectorist from the fields surrounding the fort and donated to Treasure Trove Scotland. The assemblage has a varied range of items, with the majority dated to after the construction on the fort was finished.
