While differences remain (notably over China), the visit will focus on the strong ties between the EU’s most powerful members. The programme starts in Stuttgart, where the French president and his wife Brigitte are welcomed with military honours by German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier before the pair take part in a discussion on artificial intelligence. The same techniques will be used on a known bone deposit lying between Structures Ten and Twenty-Six and the results compared to other faunal remains found along the former’s paved outer passageway. In the area where Olivia found the hearth-like stone feature earlier in the week, she lifted what initially appeared to be a roof tile. But closer investigation revealed that someone in the Neolithic had attempted to drill a hole through the slab. We have a yellow clay floor in the southern half, which, in the northern section, comes to an abrupt halt and disappears. The only thing we can think of is that the northern floor was completely removed after the phase two wall was inserted across the middle of the building. Joe brought along an aurochs horn that was found in a stream, in Cheshire, when he was but a lad. When compared to the horns of our scale model of a Neolithic bull, the size is very similar.

The paving runs up to the walls of Twenty-Nine, respecting them, showing that it was built around the same time the paving was laid. There, you will remember, hot ash was dumped in large quantities, upon which pots were placed – presumably to cook, or keep their contents hot.November and December are still 2022 but the other months are 2023. Where can I find the Nov and Dec 2022?? Clearing debris from the south-western corner of the building Molly found an intriguing perforated stone, which she carefully excavated and brought to the finds hut, where it was cleaned. The discovery of a large stone slab running at a bizarre angle under the north-western wall saw a lot of head scratching. It really doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t seem to relate to Structure Twenty-Eight, Twelve’s predecessor, nor any features in Twelve. So why place, or leave, it there?

Sharon: You wrote: “July is also interesting in that it is known as the most hot month North of the equator, and the most cold South of the equator.” That should read: “July is also interesting in that it is known as the hottest month North of the equator, and the coldest South of the equator.” That’s all… They have achieved, admirably, what we tasked them to do – open a trench extension and expose another section of the northern boundary wall, aka the “Great Wall of Brodgar”.It now appears, with Structures Twelve and Twenty-Eight at least, they didn’t even bother to do that. They just built the walls up to, and over, the earlier structure, changing the number of masonry courses so as to keep the top of their new wall level!
