Skara Brae: Life in the Neolithic Orkney Village

This episode takes listeners inside Skara Brae, a well‑preserved 5,000‑year‑old stone village on the Orkney Islands. Using excavation reports, radiocarbon dates and material culture we examine how its people lived, farmed, traded and organised themselves long before written history. We also touch on what makes this find uniquely valuable for understanding everyday life in Neolithic Britain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
