SUMMARY:Brochtoberfest: Paddling across the North Sea: Shetland’s Ancient Sea Roads
DESCRIPTION:A live talk by Dr Esther Renwick\, and Dr Marc Chivers\n \nDr Esther Renwick is co-director of Moder Dy a community interest company based in Shetland\, that promotes its maritime heritage. Her background is in the place and space and how people experience archaeology and heritage sites. \nDr Marc Chivers is is also co-director of Moder Dy and undertook a PhD in clinker-built boats from Shetland. \nThe archaeological record in Shetland dates to c.4300 BCE. However\, the first tangible evidence for boat travel to and around this archipelago does not appear until cal. 850-960 CE. Travel and subsistence continued to be reliant upon small open boats until just after the second world war. In today’s society the way we view the sea has been turned on its head: we now view this as a barrier\, rather than as a means for travel. This was an alien concept to our coastal dwelling ancestors\, not only in archipelagos such as Shetland but\, throughout the coastal communities of Europe and beyond: as bound was the boatless person! Within this talk we examine the evidence\, speculative and otherwise\, for pre-historic boat travel\, placing this into a Northern Isles context. Our journey will then navigate through Shetland’s traditional boat culture examining the archaeological record that will build us a more complete seaward narrative of an almost forgotten and lost way of life.

SUMMARY:On-Line Talk ‘Roots and routes’: Journey along the Ara Metua
DESCRIPTION:Our own Professor Colin Richards and OAS board member and Professor Jane Downes are giving a ‘not to miss’ free talk which is a Joint event by OAS and UHI \nhttps://archaeologyorkney.com/2022/03/11/roots-and-routes-seminar/ \nJoin us on March 25\, when Professor Colin Richards and Professor Jane Downes take us to the Cook Islands in our next UHI Archaeology Institute seminar. \n\nProfessor Jane Downes and Professor Colin Richards.\n\nIn Roots and Routes in Polynesia: investigating the fabulous Ara Metua and the colonisation of Rarotonga\, Cook Islands\, Colin and Jane will look at the Ara Metua (also known as the Great Road of Toi) that runs around the island of Rarotonga and its significance in the Polynesian traditions of journeying and voyaging. \nThe Ara Metua is the largest “monument” in Polynesia. As a circuit road\, it has neither start nor finish but formally links different areas of the island. It also connects the islanders with the founding ancestor Tang’ia because it materialises and commemorates the route taken when Rarotonga was settled and sub-divided into different sectors. \nThe seminar is a joint event with the Orkney Archaeology Society and will focus on the two professors’ current research into the Ara Metua – its building\, and associated maraes (temples)\, in a broader Polynesian context. \nThe free online seminar is at 7pm GMT on Friday\, March 25. A recording will be posted here shortly afterwards. \nTo book a place\, click here.

SUMMARY:Video: Dr David Clarke in conversation with Mark Edmonds
DESCRIPTION:Now on our YouTube Chanel \nHosted by Mark Edmonds \nFree but Tickets only – now available\, scroll down and click the blue RSVP button to get your ticket which will be emailed to you \nIn Praise of Orkney’s Rich Archaeological Legacy\, through the eyes of generations of the archaeologists involved. \nThe first in a series of informal conversations between archaeologists of previous generations and those still active in the field today\, hosted by Orkney Archaeology Society\, will be between Dr David Clarke and Prof Mark Edmonds. \nThe same interview format will continue at intervals over the next year or so\, and hopefully include such names as Prof Sir Colin Renfrew  (Quanterness)\, Dr Anna Ritchie (Buckquoy and Knap of Howar) Prof Chris Morris (Birsay and Deerness) Prof James Graham Campbell ( Viking silver hoards and Viking pagan graves). Each will be in conversation with well renowned and currently active archaeologists. \nWe stand on the shoulders of giants in Orkney’s rich archaeological heritage\, what better way to recognise this as a fitting legacy project for OAS. \nDavid Clarke is well known in the annals of Orcadian prehistoric archaeology for his work at both Skara Brae and Links of Noltland on Westray in the late 1970s. In this conversation  he will recall some of the experiences \, from the relatively recent re-discovery in Stromness Museum of the “Buddo” figure and its significance for the excavations in the 1860s at Skara Brae to the daily experiences during his time in Orkney. \nDavid  has authored several books\, and amongst these the 2020 guidebook to Skara Brae is significant in this context. He joined the staff of the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland in 1968 and continued with the National Museums of Scotland until his retirement in 2011\, as Keeper of Archaeology. His PhD had been undertaken at the University of Edinburgh (completed 1975) under the supervision of Stuart Piggott\, another doyen of Scotland’s archaeology. \nHis role at the Museum included the delivery of major exhibitions including Symbols of Power at the time of Stonehenge (1985)\, and he was actively involved in the preparation of the Early People gallery for the new building at the NMS. His driving ethos throughout his Museum career has been to foster and develop Public Archaeology and the broader dissemination of  information  on the unparalleled collections of the  National Museum. \nIf you would like to attend this talk (which will be recorded for later)\, then please click on the RSVP below. Places are free but limited so if you later find out that you can not attend please let us know by emailing enquiries@orkneyarchaeologysociety.org.uk
