Across the University of the Highlands and Islands, archaeology students are experiencing their second induction day on their course.
This year, we have been successful in attracting students from all over the world for both our degree and masters courses.
For those in Orkney, today is their first day of fieldwork – visiting the Broch of Gurness and Skara Brae.
Martin Carruthers, Mark Littlewood and Dr. Scott Timpany introduced the Iron Age and the Neolithic using the sites to explain how these places fit into the landscape and how research at sites such as The Cairns, Smerquoy and, of course, the Ness of Brodgar feed into the teaching and learning that the students will experience.
