Historic Environment Scotland (HES) Supported
Archaeology Scotland’s journal, Discovery and Excavation in Scotland (DES), has been an important piece of archaeological reporting since 1947. This publication, which documents the archaeological work conducted across Scotland each year, has evolved over time to meet the changing needs of the sector.
As part of our commitment to ensuring DES continues to serve its vital role, we are now planning a significant refresh. We aim to assess how well the journal meets the current needs of the archaeology sector in Scotland and explore ways to modernise and enhance its accessibility.
To guide us through this process, we are seeking experienced consultants who can provide expert insight and recommendations. If you have the expertise and vision to help shape the future of DES, we would love to hear from you. Please find the project brief below for more details:
The Lead Officer of the project is Gavin MacGregor, Chief Executive, Archaeology Scotland, g.macgregor@archaeologyscotland.org.uk
Any supplier requiring further clarification or for an informal talk to discuss the project should address their enquiries in writing (email will suffice) to the Lead Officer.
