Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Orkney is renowned for its beautiful artefacts and architecture of the Neolithic period, but until recently very little has been known about internal decoration and artwork of this time. Over the last few years, however, excavations at the Ness of Brodgar by the Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology have revealed a spectacular complex of buildings on a site which also contains one of Britain's largest assemblages of dressed and decorated Neolithic stonework. To date, around six hundred examples of incised, pecked, cup-marked and pick-dressed stones have been recovered from the site, many found in situ within the buildings. This article outlines how the site was discovered before describing and discussing the artwork and the ways in which decorated stones were incorporated into the structures. LD | ||
