Time Team back on site along with new pottery triage volunteers

There certainly no sign of anything resembling a heatwave here in Orkney but the volunteers on our six-week pottery triage project were dry and cosy today, while the wind and rain buffeted the site.
Week two got under way with a few “new”, but familiar, faces joining last week’s volunteers.
The team are working through the Ness’ massive ceramics assemblage, cleaning, recording and photographing each sherd of prehistoric pottery.





Time Team – well, some of them – were also back on site today, preparing to survey the site using ground penetrating radar (GPR). That work will begin in earnest tomorrow and we’ll have more details then.
