ORCADIA: LAND SEA AND STONE (PB)

Despite 150 years of investigation, there is much we still don't know about the societies that created the world-famous archaeological wonders on Orkney. What historical background did they emerge from? What social and political interests did their monuments serve? And what was the nature of the links between societies in Orkney and elsewhere? With an engaging narrative and beautifully evocative photographs, this book uses artefacts, architecture and the wider landscape to recreate the lives of Neolithic communities across the archipelago.
