1. Scotland’s largest Pictish site
Evidence of the oldest piece of cloth in Scotland, which dates from around 5,000 years ago, was found at Ness of Brodgar on Orkney. PIC: Scott Pike & Ness of Brodgar.
In May, one of the largest ancient settlements ever discovered in Scotland was identified with up to 4,000 people thought to have lived or gathered in hundreds of houses on the summit of Tap O’ Noth in Aberdeenshire during the Pictish era.
The hilltop is now known to have been a hive of activity around 1,700 to 1,400 years ago
The breakthrough was made this year when archaeologists at Aberdeen University’s Leverhulme Comparative Kingship Project radiocarbon dated samples of organic matter earlier taken from the summit.
Scotland’s Largest Pictish Site (Image Credit - © University of Aberdeen) THE discovery of the largest Pictish site to date in Aberdeenshire is being described as one of the most significant archaelogical finds of 2020. A team from the University of Aberdeen uncovered evidence in May that up to 4000 people may have lived on the summit of Tap O’ Noth near Rhynie around 1700 to 1400 years ago. That discovery joins the find of 5,000-year-old textiles and hundreds of medieval skeletons as among the top finds according to the senior antiquarian body of Scotland. The Edinburgh-based Society of Antiquaries of Scotland says that the Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the Scottish archaeological sector, with the majority of commercial archaeology being brought to a standstill during the lockdown and most community-led groups unable to continue their work at all.
