Man in a trench

Archaeologist Nick Card giving a talk to tourist guides at the Ness of Brodgar dig.

Today was the first day of this year’s dig and we were given a tour after work was done for the day. Very interesting to see what’s progressed since I was last there and to hear plans for this year.

Is was also very, very, very cold and wet. Perfect weather for hunkering down in a trench with a trowel.
