Profile researched by Amy Jo Kearton
Introduction:
Margaret Stewart at the Carse Farm excavation, 1964
In 1962, Dr. Margaret Enid Crichton Stewart who played a central role in community archaeology in Perthshire, was instrumental in encouraging the formation of the present-day Breadalbane Heritage Society.
Amy Jo Kearton, a recent graduate in History from the University of Glasgow, undertook research as part of her Honours’ degree dissertation aiming to help locate women within the history of Scottish archaeology. She focused on Margaret Stewart because her archaeological career represented the wider achievements of female archaeologists in twentieth-century Scotland.
From her dissertation work, Amy Jo has written a profile of Margaret in which she explores the process of excavating Margaret from historical records and then digs into Margaret’s involvement with the Breadalbane Heritage Society.
