AOC supported Tay Landscape Partnership and Perth & Kinross Heritage Trust in undertaking another season of public excavation

AOC Archaeology Group's survey has significantly furthered the understanding of Kirkton Old Church through detailed measured survey and on-site record and analysis, as well as some preliminary historical research. Surviving 12th/13th century churches are few in number and, as it is one that was abandoned early, shows very few major alterations to its layout after the 17th century apart from those blockings associated with the burial aisles.

In April and May AOC Archaeology Group worked with Aberlady Conservation and Historical Society and the local community to excavate a series of features in the village Glebe Field. These features were argued to relate to the Anglo-Saxon era (7th-10thC).

We're delighted to announce the publication of a major programme of excavation, post-excavation analysis and historical research of the Anglian monastic settlement of Auldhame…

August 2015 saw the first of three seasons of excavation at this enigmatic vitrified hillfort near Fort William

From the 14th to 28th of August 2015, Nevis Landscape Partnership will be breaking new ground at Dun Deardail, as a team of volunteers conduct the first excavations of this enigmatic site with the support of archaeologists from AOC Archaeology Group (AOC). Dun Deardail is a vitrified hillfort; its wooden and stone defences were burned at such high temperatures, and for such a long time, that the stone fused together. This phenomenon was previously thought to be unintentional, the result of accident or attack, but experimental archaeology has shown that vitrification occurs only after long periods of burning: the fires must have been fed and stoked, suggesting that vitrification was an intentional process.
