Books, Manuscripts
The Isle of Raasay holds a rich treasury of archaeological remains that document how people lived and worked on the island for the last 10,000 years. Raasay: The ACFA Surveys 1995-2009 brings together the results of annual surveys of the island conducted by volunteers with the Association of Certificated Field Archaeologists (ACFA), under the joint direction of John Macdonald and Scott Wood. Combining an analysis of the archaeological data with historical documents, oral traditions, and insights from people who live on Raasay, the book provides a detailed description of the archaeology of the island, and aims to demonstrate the value of detailed, but low-tech, archaeological survey for discovering and understanding the past.
