Archaeologists Baffled By A 2,000-Year-Old Skeleton Found In Scotland With Its Brain Scooped Out And Its Bones Turned Into Tools
The Stones That Outlasted the Forgetting
The cairn near Loch Borralie is still there.
The stones that the Iron Age community arranged over the burial of these two individuals two thousand years ago still mark the location, still identifiable as a human construction in the landscape, still distinguishable from the natural rock of the hillside by the rectangular arrangement that reflects the intention of the people who built it.
That persistence is remarkable in its own right.
