The recordings of two talks from the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland Archaeological Research in Progress 2025 conference in Edinburgh on May 3, 2025.
Nick Card’s presentation looks in more detail at Structure Twenty-Seven, which, even in terms of the Ness of Brodgar, stands apart due to its unique appearance, spectacular masonry, and construction techniques that rival the best architecture in Neolithic Britain.
Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark, from National Museums Scotland, gives an overview of the rediscovery and excavation of the Maeshowe-type chambered cairn at Blomuir, Holm, Orkney. He is co-director of the dig, together with Professor Vicki Cummings of Cardiff University.
The full playlist of talks from the conference is available here.
