This is what we were just talking about. The Tain is not necessarily a window to the Iron age, and there's no archaeological evidence to suggest their use. You claimed that it's almost universally believed by archaeologists. Can you prove that somehow? I just have a hard time believing that archaeologists would almost universally be willing to accept something as fact when there's little/no evidence for it.
