Knowe of Skea

I'm very interested in these results too. While not in the timeframe of Ness of Brodgar - though I do wonder if its occupants moved only a short distance away - Knowe 'O Skea and Gunness are sites that, from what reading I have done, may be of considerable importance. I do not doubt that the eruption of Helka, maybe even Thera, had a considerable impact of the Northern Isles in terms of alteration of vegetation and perhaps physical landscape - and inevitably the culture and economies of the then inhabitants (I don't know the date of Westray's raised beaches, but am interested in whatever excavations have taken place upon or a short distance from the old shoreline on Westray or elsewhere in the Northern Isles whatever its vintage)
