The Science of the Ness – 2020 Orkney Science Festival talk

In this talk for the 2020 Orkney Science Festival, site director Nick Card outlines the scientific techniques involved in excavation and post-excavation work and is joined by two colleagues from the Archaeology Institute UHI.

Dr Ingrid Mainland discusses the animal remains on site and what they can tell us, while Dr Scott Timpany outlines what the remains of plants and pollen can paint a picture of life in Brodgar’s Neolithic landscape.
