Tarradale Through Time Project - Excavations September-October 2017 by Andy B on Sunday, 27 August 2017
(User Info | Send a Message)
Tarradale Through Time Project. Lead Eric Grant, NOSAS Committee liaison Jonie Guest

For some years NOSAS members have been field walking after the fields are ploughed in winter. Important sites dating from Mesolithic to post-medieval have been identified as well as some fascinating finds of worked flint, pottery and coins. Field walking normally takes place each Sunday during the winter months. Please contact Eric if you are interested.

The Tarradale Through Time Project has now been awarded £69,300 of Heritage Lottery Funding to undertake a programme of archaeological excavations and investigations. See the Tarradale Through Time page for further details. Further information is also available on our blog.

Dear All

I am delighted to let you all know that Tarradale Through Time has been successful in its HLF funding bid. This means that we will be starting the first phase of the project this September. We will be working on either the Castle Site or the Promontory Fort from Saturday 23rd September until Saturday 30th September inclusive followed by the Shell Middens from Saturday 30th September until Friday 6th October inclusive.

The funding from HLF is very much on the understanding that Tarradale through time is a community archaeological project and we need to involve the local community (that can be defined as wide as you want and includes non-NOSAS members) in our excavation and post excavation work. We are looking for 2 kinds of volunteers. First, experienced diggers who can work alongside and help less experienced diggers, including complete beginners, who will be given training.

Secondly we are looking for experienced and inexperienced volunteers who may be less keen on digging but are very happy to assist with, and find out more about, finds processing and recording based at Tarradale Gatehouse. Again there will be training for everyone. The finds processors will be required in small numbers during the excavation but more especially from 30th September when the post-excavation work will begin.

Tarradale Archaeological Project - Findings to Date by Andy B on Tuesday, 22 November 2016
(User Info | Send a Message)
Dr. Eric Grant (NOSAS) writes: The Tarradale Archaeological Project started as a private initiative around 2008 and was incorporated as an approved NOSAS research project in 2011. Project aims are to investigate and record the surviving archaeological evidence of the multi-period archaeological landscape of the Tarradale area and to interpret the chronological development of settlement and resource utilisation in the study area. The main activity of the project so far has been field walking which has been very successful.

Apart from Gilchrist Chapel and some standing stones probably erected in the Bronze Age, there are few visible archaeological monuments in the area that is intensively ploughed, although aerial photographs show cropmarks that can be interpreted as ring ditches, pits and enclosures. This contrasts with the more upland and less intensively cultivated area where there are standing monuments including Tarradale chambered cairn and an indeterminate feature which has been called a henge but is better referred to with the more general term of earthwork.
