Abstract:
The findings from these excavations cannot in themselves be regarded as offering solutions to the fundamental problems posed by the settlement on the island itself. The findings have a much greater bearing on the more general concepts of pre-Norse and Norse society and in that respect must be seen as offering a major contribution to the study of 7th-12th century Orkney. The significant advance is undoubtedly framed within the broad scope of architectural history. The excavation provided an opportunity to analyse and record in detail the intricacies, characteristics and techniques of both pre-Norse and Norse construction.
