Archaeology student Jodie Allan found a possible rare Pictish face carving at East Lomond hill fort in Scotland.
Archaeology student Jodie Allan discovered a possible rare Pictish face carving at East Lomond hill fort in Fife, Scotland, while volunteering on a dig.
The 10-12cm stone, found in soil from an early medieval building, shows two eyes, a nose, and a hairline, and may represent a human face.
The find, initially mistaken for slag, adds to evidence that East Lomond was a significant Pictish settlement.
Researchers, including Professor Gordon Noble and Joe Fitzpatrick, will use radiocarbon dating and art historical comparisons to learn more about the carving’s age and context, potentially offering new insights into how Picts understood and represented their identities.
