In case you missed it... 'Saving Swandro'
🕑 Added 2024-12-19 11:32:17 +0000 UTCThe island of Rousay in Orkney holds so many archeological wonders it has been nicknamed ‘The Egypt of the North’. On its southern coast lies the Knowe of Swandro, a complex multi-period site that has been under excavation for over ten years. Time Team favourite Dr John Gater visits the site to see what new discoveries have been made and learn how the team are battling the elements in a race against time to excavate before Swandro is lost to the sea.

Thanks for the interesting episode. The ancient peoples of Orkney were wizards with stone.

A delightful book on that subject was written years ago. Look up "The Weans", by Robert Nathan.

I always wonder what people will say in 10 thousand years when our junk is dug up 🤪

A wonderful episode. I am very intrigued by the prospect of something Neolithic below the house structure. What an incredible site.
