We are delighted to announce the publication of our latest book Two Headlands, The Archaeology of Ben Hynish and Kenavara, Isle of Tiree. Two Headlands reports on the first major archaeological programme on Tiree for 60 years. The core of this eight-year project has been the methodical recording of the landscape archaeology of two headlands on Tiree, Ben Hynish and Kenavara. The work has been carried out by members of ACFA – Field Archaeology for All/Arc-eòlas do na h-uile with the support of a number of professional archaeologists.
The work is a testament to the skill and dedication of a team of largely non-professional archaeologists and represents an important contribution to our understanding of the archaeology of the region. Lavishly illustrated with 482 illustrations this is a book for anyone interested in the archaeology of Tiree and of the Hebrides more generally.
With contributions from Ann Clarke (lithics), Ann MacSween (pottery), Darko Maričević (archaeological overview), Bob Chambers (farm to township history), Diana Zilioli (soil analysis), Heather James (excavation), Ailsa and Ed Smith (field dykes).
