Listen to the Stones: This is the message of new resources created as part of a strategic effort to link, inspire, mobilise and help direct the diffuse communities with an interest in and responsibility for carved stones. Future Thinking on Carved Stones in Scotland: A Research Framework, which first launched as part of the Scottish Archaeology Research Framework (ScARF) in August 2016, is now available in new formats that will appeal to a range of users, whether heritage practitioners, community groups or academics.
Listen to the Stones is a popular summary booklet that can be downloaded from the ScARF website: scot.sh/hscarved. In addition to ScARF’s wiki version of the Framework, illustrated PDFs of the Framework’s 2016 full text and 39 case studies are now also available to download from the website of the National Committee on Carved Stones in Scotland: www.carvedstones.scot/research.
