The entrance passage of Cuween Chambered Cairn in Orkney. The Neolithic tomb is also known as the ‘Tomb of the Dogs’ on account of the skulls of 24 dogs which were found along with human remains. 📸 My own. #TombTuesday #Archaeology #Prehistory #Orkney

Picture the scene. It's 1769. You're William Aberdeen and you're drawing a map of Sebay in Tankerness, #Orkney. It's going well but then you realise there are some blank bits so you decide to add some decoration.

You think about what to draw for a moment. It's an obvious choice.

I came home from Orkney.
The research didn't.
The Orkney Archaeology Festival starts this week, with researchers discussing new work and new questions.
Meanwhile I'm writing The Orkney Reliquary.
Apparently "research finished" is fiction too.
