STAR was grant-aided by Historic Scotland to provide a PhD student, who is carrying out research into the Marine Reservoir Effect, with sample pairs of charred macroplant and sea shell from the archived material from the tapestry excavations carried out by the Central Excavation Unit in 1984, at Baleshare, North Uist, and Hornish Point, South Uist. Further limited tapestry excavations were carried out at the eroding midden deposits at Baleshare and Hornish Point, as well as two eroding midden sites at Hougarry, North Uist, in order to retrieve further dating and related samples.
