Abstract
Archaeological interventions at Ayr Academy, Ayrshire revealed a number of pits and postholes on a raised beach on a terrace of the River Ayr dating from the late Mesolithic to the late Bronze Age. One group of pits and postholes probably defines a middle Bronze Age burial ground. The environmental and material cultural evidence (pottery and lithic artefacts) hints at seasonality of use of the site rather than continuous occupation.
