Sand layer from a possible tsunami 1500 years ago. A penny road built as a famine relief project in the 1840-50s. Eroding prehistoric settlement and a giant noost! Just a few highlights from the June survey in Yell. Huge thanks to everyone. Yell is a very special place. We had a wonderful time.

What progress over just 4 days with the amazing @archshet.bsky.social on the Gletness dig. One or more big Iron Age buildings and a Bronze Age burnt mound. Done and dusted for now. Thank you everyone!

That’s us all done and dusted at Mail, Shetland this year. We’ve shown there is some incredible archaeology at Mail and hope to be back again next year if we can raise some funding. Many thanks to all our University of Aberdeen students and Archaeology Shetland for making this possible

A great day out digging again! Brilliant to see this eroding site getting some love.
End of day three with @coastarch.bsky.social and we're starting to record the site, digging again tomorrow morning and then it'll be finishing off the recording and backfilling the site.

A lovely Neolithic knife - with its wooden handle - from a site with houses built on stilts on marshy land in Germany. Usually, the wooden part rots away and we just have the blade. This makes so much more sense!
