We’re delighted to announce that our book Landscapes Revealed: geophysical survey in the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Area, 2002-2011 has been nominated for Book of the Year in the Current Archaeology Awards.
The second volume in the UHI Archaeology Institute’s research series, the book documents a ten-year project that surveyed a 285-hectare area between Skara Brae and Maeshowe.
The project, which ran from 2002 until 2011, revealed a wealth of new sites, as well as helped chart the changing character of the landscape and shed new light on the known monuments and their place in the historic and more recent past.
With nominations based on books reviewed in Current Archaeology magazine over the last 12 months, voting is now open at www.archaeology.co.uk/vote. So, if you’ve read the book and enjoyed it, your vote would be very much appreciated.
Voting closes on February 1, with the winning title announced at the Current Archaeology Live! 2023 conference, at the University of London’s Institute of Archaeology, on February 25.
Published by Oxbow Books, Landscapes Revealed: Geophysical Survey in the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Area, 2002-2011, by Amanda Brend, Nick Card, Jane Downes, Mark Edmonds and James Moore, is available in bookshops, priced £35.
