Dig this: left to right are Kerry Baker, Professor Steven Mithin, Alexander Millar and Dr Darko Maricevic, who launched the Islay Heritage Project at the Islay Show on August 11, with a stall of ancient Islay artefacts such as stone tools and flint blades, and encouraged volunteers to help them explore the island’s 12,000 years of inhabited history.
A NEW community project has been launched to unearth more of Islay’s human history over the past 12 millennia – and island archaeologists are encouraging volunteers to get involved.
