British Archaeological Awards - Best Archaeological Project, Nominee

Headland Archaeology was honoured at the British Archaeological Awards 2010, one of the most prestigious awards ceremonies in the UK archaeological sector for our work on the publication of Inchmarnock. The purpose of the awards are to advance public education in the study and practice of archaeology and to recognise significant contributions to knowledge.

The excavation programme at Inchmarnock involved five seasons of fieldwork at the chapel site, along with targeted excavation at several other sites across the island, including a late prehistoric rock shelter, a medieval kiln site and a post-medieval dwelling. A monograph publication was produced in 2008 by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. The project director Dr Chris Lowe attended the award ceremony at the British Museum.
