After several months of preparation, it is time to get our feet wet. The team is now gearing up for the diving component of Project SAMPHIRE. In one week’s time we will be heading off to investigate reports of previously unrecorded underwater archaeological sites, the result of direct community engagement on Scotland’s north-west coast. We plan to dive at a new site every day for eight days in hopes to confirm these reports and identify any diagnostic, informative clues. Along the way we will be joined on the shore, on the boats and in the water by those members of the local communities who came forward with their knowledge of these sites. Stay tuned for more details as they come in!
