5000 years of prehistory and history told through the interactive exploration of five archaeological sites in Uist, Outer Hebrides.

People have been living in Uist’s island landscapes for millennia; shaping and shaped by the unique environments of machair and moorland we see today. Uist Unearthed tells the story of 5000 years of the islands’ prehistory and history through five key archaeological sites. Based on the award-winning Uist Virtual Archaeology Project, this interactive book brings Uist’s past to life. Readers are invited to dig deeper and discover Uist’s unique archaeology through colourful and creative mixed media including illustrations, infographics, and photography, enhanced with state-of-the-art augmented reality. This book provides an excellent introduction to Uist’s archaeology for novices and professionals alike. It discusses the importance of Gaelic language and culture in our interpretation and understanding of archaeological landscapes. It is for all those interested in exploring alternative ways of reimagining, interpreting, and presenting the past through digital storytelling.
