The Ness of Brodgar: Uncovering the Heart of Neolithic Orkney | Time Team Special

Join us July 18th at 7pm BST for the Youtube Premiere of our latest episode, or head over to our Patreon now to watch the full episode ad free. https://www.patreon.com/TimeTeamOfficial Narrated by Sir Tony Robinson, Time Team’s John Gater revisits the spectacular remains of a neolithic ceremonial centre of epic proportions at the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney, for the final 2 weeks of 20 years of excavations. The discovery was in part down to John when he undertook a geophysical survey in 2002 at the Ness of Brodgar which revealed a huge complex of monumental Neolithic buildings from the centuries around 3000BC. Site Directors Nick Card, Prof Mark Edmonds and Anne Mitchell take John on an emotional journey through the two decades of work and he witnesses some extraordinary finds which are unearthed in the final moments of the dig. John decides to finish the way he started and undertakes a new survey with SUMO GeoSurveys and GuidelineGeo, with extraordinary results. Without parallel in Atlantic Europe, the site’s three hectares are filled with huge stone structures containing spectacular finds. These made the Ness one of the most important archaeological sites in the world today, changing our understanding of Neolithic Orkney and shining a new light on the prehistory of northern Europe.

What an incredible site! And the presentation was *so* good! Books will have to be rewritten about the Neolithic period because of this site.

It is wonderful to see the film of the Ness of Brodgar. We were up there in November as Skara Brae was specialy open for our cruise. It was great to see the neolithic buildings and go close to Ring of Brodgar and Stones of Stennes. The Ness was backfilled by then.

How much has the land mass and shoreline changed since Neolithic times?

Lorna Dryden

Did they tell us why they are covering it back up?

Lorna Dryden

Maggi Einars

Yes they said right at the end. They are finest with the escuvation. So they cover it over so weather does not damage it and then in the futur if there is new knowlage they can then dig it up again untouch :)
