Online talk organised by Highland Council Historic Environment Team
Online talk by Eric Grant of Tarradale Through Time project. Booking via Eventbrite.
Over the last 5 years the Tarradale Through Time project has investigated six archaeological sites dating from the mesolithic to the 18th and 19th centuries. Some significant sites were discovered and important finds made. This paper will summarise the principal findings of the project and suggest what the future archaeological priorities in the area are.
Dr Eric Grant lectured in archaeology and historical geography at university level for 20 years. He later undertook consultancy work and maintained an interest in the voluntary sector by chairing heritage organisations including museum trustees. Since moving to Ross-shire in 2004 he has been investigating the archaeological potential of the Muir of Ord and Tarradale areas in the Black Isle. This led to a National Lottery Heritage Fund award for a series of six excavations – with some spectacular outcomes – under the aegis of Tarradale Through Time: community engagement with archaeology in the Highlands.
