SUMMARY:Talk: Orkney Runes & book launch
DESCRIPTION:Dr Raghnild Ljosland will give a talk on Orkney Runes \nThis talk explores the runic inscriptions found in Orkney which seem to have been made with a ‘magical’ purpose in mind: A runic amulet made from a bear’s tooth\, and two inscribed pieces of metal. These will be explained in the light of other similar finds from Scandinavia\, and we get a glimpse into the beliefs and superstitions among the medieval Norse. \nAlso\, book launch for ‘The Orkney Book of Runes’\, & music by Kate Fletcher and Corwen Broch. \nPoster – PDF

SUMMARY:AGM + Talk on Discovering Hidden Kirkwall
DESCRIPTION:OAS AGM Minutes – 2018 (pdf )\n  \nOAS AGM Agenda with resolution – May 2019 (Pdf)\n  \nOAS AGM Minutes – 2018Discovering Hidden Kirkwall: results of the Kirkwall Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) Archaeology Programme 2016-7\nDan Lee (ORCA) and Scott Timpany (UHI Archaeology Institute) \nA programme of community-focused archaeological activities took place in the Kirkwall conservation area to explore the development and history of the town\, particularly the old shore line which gradually encroached upon the Peedie Sea as the town grew. \nGeophysical survey\, various excavations\, building recording and palaeoenvironmental work was undertaken. These were the first research excavations for 40 years in Kirkwall and explored residents gardens with small trenches. Evidence for the old shore line\, including a possible pier structure\, was revealed. \nWaterlogged deposits adjacent to the pier structure were analysed for ancient pollen and plant remains\, providing intriguing insights into the infilling of this part of the town. A trench in BBC Radio Orkney garden recovered a bone assemblage from the 17th century slaughter house\, near the site of Kirkwall Castle. Parts of the Castle were recently exposed during separate THI roadworks on Castle Street\, including a large wall. \nDiscovering Hidden Kirkwall worked with local residents\, volunteers and pupils from Kirkwall Grammar School and local primary schools who helped with the excavations. This talk summarises the results from these activities and puts them in the context of the development of the town. \nPoster to download (pdf)
