On Finding What You Already Have….
I’ve just finished reading ‘The North Road’ by Rob Cowen – and I recommend it. There’s a lot in it – in many ways and about many things.
It begins and ends with archaeology – with someone emerging from the earth - and Rob Cowen’s response to that.
It’s full of people – people’s lives and how they connect through time and blood.
He writes about how life is full of what would be called co-incidences, and connections.
As I was coming to the end of the book, I was reminded by a friend of a line from the song ‘Killing The Blues’…
‘You want me to find what I've already had’
It’s often the case.

Zooarchaeology…….
And I quote…
“School pupils across Orkney got to grips with some archaeological science during the Orkney International Science Festival, taking part in hands-on workshops led by Katy Firth, Ness of Brodgar Trust education officer, and Cat Lennie of Historic Environment Scotland.”

This shows how much Post-excavation work matters – and needs funding!…
