ACCORD was an AHRC funded research project that took place from October 2013 to March 2015 and was a collaboration between the Digital Design Studio at the Glasgow School of Art, the University of Manchester, the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and Archaeology Scotland. In the summer of 2014 the ACCORD project worked together with communities across Scotland to co-design and co-produce 3-Dimensional digital models of heritage places and monuments. We explored how forms of community-based social value associated with sites and places can be addressed and transformed through engagement with 3D digital technologies. The project worked together with 10 community groups across Scotland that have ongoing relationships to heritage places.
Full project details including references to methodology are available from the main ACCORD programme pages.
The ACCORD team worked with the Ardnamurchan Community Archaeology (ACA) group from the 8th to the 10th of August 2014. The project was based in Kilchoan, West Ardnamurchan in Argyllshire. Together at Camas Nan Geall we recorded and modelled three headstones in a graveyard and a standing stone with Early Medieval carvings adjacent to this graveyard, and in the nearby town a gravestone in the Kilchoan Parish Churchyard, Kilchoan. We used the techniques Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) and photogrammetry (for more information on these technologies please see the ACCORD project overview page).
