Have you ever wondered how you find out about finds from an area?
The History Society currently has an ongoing project - Feats of Clay - which is investigating the context for clay moulds found in recent excavations at Bellfield, North Kessock. The moulds were used to make clay sickles in the late Bronze Age (c.950-800), and are rare evidence of metalworking from this period.
The ARCH course will complement the project, showing how to find out about known Bronze Age metalwork from the Moray Firth area. A gazetteer of known metalwork from the area will be compiled and where possible photographs will be obtained, including taking pictures of objects in local collections and in Edinburgh. The results will be used by Trevor Cowie, National Museums of Scotland, who will be writing a book for the Feats sof Clay project.
The course will be held in the Reading Room in Inverness Library in the old Archives room. No experience necessary.
