That’s us all done and dusted at Mail, Shetland this year. We’ve shown there is some incredible archaeology at Mail and hope to be back again next year if we can raise some funding. Many thanks to all our University of Aberdeen students and Archaeology Shetland for making this possible

A lovely Neolithic knife - with its wooden handle - from a site with houses built on stilts on marshy land in Germany. Usually, the wooden part rots away and we just have the blade. This makes so much more sense!
