Communities that are good at learning are more resilient, responsive to change and sustainable. We propose a project to bring together a network of community, university and heritage sector researchers to investigate the late medieval and early modern archaeological heritage of Colonsay in Argyll, and to research the social learning processes this entails. Co-producing heritage knowledge in this way will enhance the learning capacity and sustainability of the island community and contribute to understanding of the heritage and sustainability link. Colonsay was once the centre of a maritime kingdom associated with the Lord of the Isles and has a unique cultural heritage that is little explored. Today it is one of Scotland's most remote and fragile communities. While there is considerable local interest in developing the heritage of the island, financial and human resource capacity is limited and there is a clear need for initiatives to enhance community capacity to ensure the island is self-sustaining and resilient to future challenges. Working closely with community partners we will run a programme of community-based learning and knowledge exchange in archaeological and landscape survey field methodologies. This will include a detailed desk-based assessment of documentary, cartographic and illustrative resources; a detailed programme of landscape survey, and an archaeological investigation of a number of targeted sites. Key outcomes will include a cultural landscape archive to generate an online resource and a physical community mounted exhibition, and enhanced community capacity to access future community heritage funding. A parallel qualitative research study of social learning will develop evaluative and theoretical frameworks to link heritage social learning to enhance adaptive capacity and resilience. This rich co-production process will add significantly to understanding of the late medieval early modern archaeology of the region; create a valuable community heritage resource to contribute to future community-led heritage tourism projects; and, enhance community learning capacity and understanding of heritage and sustainability.

善于学习的社区更有弹性，对变化更敏感，更可持续。我们提出了一个项目，汇集了社区，大学和遗产部门的研究人员网络，调查中世纪晚期和现代早期的考古遗产在阿盖尔的科隆赛，并研究这需要的社会学习过程。以这种方式共同编制遗产知识将提高岛屿社区的学习能力和可持续性，并有助于理解遗产与可持续性之间的联系。科隆赛曾经是一个与群岛之主有关的海洋王国的中心，拥有独特的文化遗产，很少有人探索。今天，它是苏格兰最偏远和最脆弱的社区之一。虽然当地对开发该岛的遗产有相当大的兴趣，但财政和人力资源能力有限，显然需要采取举措，加强社区能力，以确保该岛能够自我维持，并能应对未来的挑战。我们将与社区合作伙伴密切合作，在考古和景观调查实地方法方面开展以社区为基础的学习和知识交流计划。这将包括对文献、制图和说明资源进行详细的案头评估;详细的景观调查方案，以及对一些目标地点进行考古调查。主要成果将包括一个文化景观档案，以生成在线资源和一个社区实体展览，并提高社区获得未来社区遗产资金的能力。一项关于社会学习的平行定性研究将制定评价和理论框架，将传统社会学习与提高适应能力和复原力联系起来。这一丰富的联合制作过程将大大增加对该地区中世纪晚期早期现代考古学的理解;创造宝贵的社区遗产资源，为未来社区主导的遗产旅游项目做出贡献;并提高社区学习能力和对遗产和可持续性的理解。
