The Orkney Venus *** 10 Weeks


Last August a small carved figure from the Neolithic era was discovered in the Noltland dig on the Orkney Islands - in Westray. It has been named The Orkney Venus, and The Westray Wife. A new dig season is about to begin, where more information about these people will hopefully be discovered. They are hoping, among other things, to shed more light on a building with cattle skulls in the walls foundation. For more information see:
