Old meets new as prehistoric cave is digitised

Archaeologists from Bradford have created a digital model of the iconic Sculptor’s Cave from Moray, in Scotland.

The high resolution digital model demonstrates the size and layout of the cave and importantly highlights the Pictish (early medieval) symbols found on the walls.

The cave was also used as a focus for complex funerary rites and the deposition of precious objects in the Late Bronze Age/Iron Age.

Professor Ian Armit and Dr Lindsey Büster, both from the School of Archaeological and Forensic Sciences at the University of Bradford, have been carrying out new research at the Sculptor’s Cave since 2013, as well as analysing the results of old excavations from the 1920s and 1970s.
