Specialist Reports
The project was fortunate enough to have the funds to commission a range of specialists to analyse some of the artefacts found during the digs. These reports have some interpretation and some technical analysis. They will be used now, and in the future, to understand the development of rural settlements in the 18th and 19th centuries in Scotland and to help us develop a better picture of what life used to be like at Morlaggan.
