It has been 21 years since excavations began on the Ness of Brodgar in 2003 but all good things must come to an end and operations ceased at the site this past summer. It is not that there is nothing left to uncover– 90% of it remains untouched. No, it is because there are literally tons of material in need of analysis, interpretation and publication– several years worth of work. Additionally, it is standard practice to leave undisturbed deposits for future generations, using more advanced techniques, to tackle.

The best source of information by far is the project’s own website, which contains Dig Diaries with daily entries for all of the seasons from 2010.
