HU 5209 4221 The ACCORD (Archaeology Community Co-production Of Research Data) Project was an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded research project led by the Digital Design Studio (Glasgow School of Art), with the University of Manchester, RCAHMS and Archaeology Scotland, which worked with 10 community groups across Scotland from October 2013 to March 2015. The project aimed to co-design and co-produce 3D digital data of heritage sites that are of significance to the community groups and which they wished to record.
The ACCORD team worked with the Bressay History Group, 8–9 October 2014, at the abandoned settlement of Cullingsburgh (HU 5209 4221) to record a gravestone, dedicated to a 17th-century shipwreck victim (Commander Claes Jansen Bruyn) in the burial ground using Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) and to model a ruined manse using photogrammetry.
