On the Island of Colonsay, South of Oban, they have identified over 60 ancient pre-historical sites. They are finding signs of houses, burial sites, and rock shelters as well as bone tools. The dig is also revealing how people may have lived in ancient times.
They will need volunteers next year, and if you would like to apply to the team they'll be happy to hear from you. They will start again in February. Who knows, you might be spotting a 7,000 year old stone tool from the Mesolithic period.
