Black Monk Posted March 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2018 A treasure trove of Iron Age artefacts has been found at a site on Scotland's Orkney Islands that was once home to a tall monumental tower-like structure. Archaeologists excavating the area found evidence of a 'great feast' that dates back back around 2,000 years, to the Middle-to-Late Iron Age. Ancient bones, jewellery and crude metalworking tools were found at at the site, where sheep, otters, cows and horses were sacrificed for the clifftop banquet. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5506339/Scene-great-feast-uncovered-Orkney-dig.html#ixzz5A0HFx6Zd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
