In 2003, many new and important Rock Art discoveries at Church Hole, Creswell Crags were announced.

As a result, a conference was held at Creswell in 2004 and the proceedings have been published as “Palaeolithic Cave Art at Creswell Crags in European Context” by Oxford University Press edited by Paul Pettitt, Paul Bahn and Sergio Ripoll.

An article on the use of 3D laser scanning to record some of the carvings within Church Hole has been written by Alistair Carty, Technical Director of Archaeoptics, with several illustrations of the scan results from Church Hole.

More information on the proceedings including a full table of contents and ordering information can be found at the OUP website.

We have been working closely with heritage reproduction specialists Relicarte on a retail project for the National Museum of Scotland.

The project revolves around the non-contact, high-quality reproduction of several key pieces from the NMS’ collection of Isle of Lewis (or Uig) Chessmen. These reproductions are now available for purchase in the NMS’ shop.
