Plant remains project benefits from national RICHeS funding programme

A project to assess some of the carbonised plant remains from the Ness of Brodgar is one of 43 to receive funding through the first Research Infrastructure for Conservation and Heritage Science (RICHeS) Access Fund.

Over £500,000 has been awarded across the country, enabling projects to access specialist heritage science facilities, collections and expertise that would otherwise have been beyond their reach.

Our project, Plant remains and the environmental and economic context of the Ness of Brodgar, will be led by Associate Professor Scott Timpany at the UHI Archaeology Institute, in association with the Ness of Brodgar Trust.
