Description

Archaeologists at The University of Edinburgh's are seeking to address issues of sustainability for the built environment, both past and present. This closed workshop was organised as a first step in developing a research project to gather insight into ancient constructions and materials and to find inspiration for sustainable building today. It brought together leading international academics, commercial archaeologists, archaeological scientists, architects and engineers. Planners and local authority archaeologists and heritage managers from Historic Scotland and The National Trust for Scotland also attended.
