The archaeological remains of marine molluscs represent a hugely underutilised source of information about prehistoric societies. Within Scotland, studies of these remains are patchy at best throughout prehistory, with the Northern Isles being mostly ignored outside of the Mesolithic period. This research would use traditional morphological and metrical analyses to investigate marine molluscs as food, as bait, as tools, as decorative and symbolic objects, and as a means to look at changing attitudes towards the sea from the earliest evidence of human occupation through to the late Iron Age.

海洋软体动物的考古遗迹是有关史前社会的信息来源，但尚未得到充分利用。在苏格兰境内，对这些遗迹的研究在整个史前时期充其量都是零散的，北部群岛在中石器时代之外大多被忽视。这项研究将使用传统的形态学和计量分析来研究海洋软体动物作为食物、诱饵、工具、装饰和象征性物体，并作为一种手段来研究从人类占领的最早证据到人类对海洋的态度的变化。铁器时代晚期。
