The forensic anthropologist featured in the series was there and she was very interested in how the experiment went, how the temperature of a large pyre of local wood over a long period would match with the remains recently analysed from within Knowth.
The Knowth sequence was the highlight of the programme for me, as much as I love Brodgar - it literally made my hair stand on end when they were inside the tomb, the closest I'll get to seeing the fabulous spiral carvings.
Your photos are in a class of their own Cian, as always (though I admit the pig cremation was the one bit of the otherwise excellent programme that didn't sit easily with me). Thanks for posting the link to your amazing photos.
