Introduction
Scanning Project
The project to scan the complete run of Discovery and Excavation in Scotland, from the earliest typescripts in 1947 onwards, was generously funded by the Russell Trust and produced with the support and assistance of the Archaeology Data Service.
The full run of Discovery and Excavation in Scotland is now available digitally, with the exception of the most recent two volumes. These are available in print form to members of Archaeology Scotland, formerly the Council for Scottish Archaeology: for membership information see http://www.archaeologyscotland.org.uk, or via:
