This is around half of the animal bone assemblage we recovered from fairly small evaluation trenches at Mail.

Quite a phenomenal find at Mail today- a c.5000yr old stone axe found redeposited with late Iron Age midden deposits. Found by Marilyn - what a find for one of our undergraduate students ❤️🎉 #UniversityofAberdeen #ArchaeologyShetland #NPicts

A good second day at Mail. We’ve been able to access the broch islet (it’s cut off at high tide) and began test pitting for datable deposits on the mainland we’re tracking eroding deposits and digging test pits to the south of the churchyard.
