We are fortunate to be joined on our fieldwork this year by Professor Karen Hardy of the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA) at the Universitat Autònoma Barcelona. Karen has been investigating the coastal Mesolithic sites in the west of Scotland for many years and has developed strong links with local communities. While the dive team investigated a wreck at Eigg, Karen was able to undertake a coastal walkover survey around the harbour and has identified a number of Mesolithic lithic scatters. This is another great example of the international interdisciplinary partnerships that this project has facilitated.
