This project seeks to contextualise finds within reconstructed palaeo-landscapes. An important element of these reconstructions is the dating of local and regional sealevel rise. Current methods for obtaining and correctly dating cores are being developed by the project and rely on novel vibro-coring techniques. If these prove successful they will have widespread application across a range of Scottish (and other similar) settings and over a range of different time scales. An important element of the tests is obtaining dates from the cores often from material that contains little carbon and thus are not suitable for C14 dating.
