Excavation of a Neolithic tomb at Tresness, Sanday, Orkney

Thu 9 March 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

THIS TALK IS CANCELLED FOR MARCH 9 AND WILL BE RE-ARRANGED

We are delighted to welcome Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark (National Museums Scotland) who will be telling us about recent excavations of an eroding Neolithic tomb on the island of Sanday, Orkney. The excavations have revealed an exceptional sequence of deposits within the chamber that shed considerable light on activities undertaken at the monument.  Artefacts recovered include two polished stone balls, that allow several comparable finds to be set in context.
