This week the Northern Picts team are in Shetland investigating the context of the fabulous Pictish stone from Mail, Shetland. This carving was found during grave digging in the 1960s and shows a figure carrying a Rhynie Man style axe. We’ll be test pitting at islet broch site and the adjacent coast

What a brilliant time we've had with @coastarch.bsky.social again and so pleased we've been able to fill in a few more blanks about this eroding site.

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!

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.

Evidence of human activity from over 1,600 years ago—including a possible broch and village—has been identified at Gletness in Shetland, a site under threat from coastal erosion 🌊
