Further Digging at Tarradale
Added on 10 July 2024
In Autumn 2023, the Tarradale Archaeological Team (TAT) reopened and extended a Mesolithic shell midden trench dug in 2017 (see blog post). Here, several important antler tools had been previously discovered which were dated to over 6000 years old. The 2023 excavation found a further antler "T axe" (right) - 3 out of the known 6 Scottish examples of this tool have now been found at Tarradale!
Further excavation is continuing in 2024 on "the barns" and other post-medieval sites at Tarradale - see most recent results here. TAT is the successor to the highly successful Tarradale Through Time Project. The 2022 book can be bought online for £9.99.
