Explore Skara Brae

10/2/2024

 
Thanks to Historic Environment Scotland, you can now explore this amazing 3D reconstruction of House 7 in Skara Brae.
Skara Brae is a 5000 year old Neolithic village of stone built houses, set into mounds woven with narrow passageways. Houses contain beds, chairs, dressers and hearths, all made from stone. Artefacts litter this ancient site and among these finds are jewellery, pottery, tools and mystery objects!

Aurochs were extinct wild cattle living in Europe, from which cattle are probably descended. The aurochs survived in Poland until 1627. The aurochs were black, standing around 1.8 metres (6 feet) high at the shoulder, and had spreading, forward-curving horns.
However, it seems that Aurochs may be making a come back!

A fantastic class activity combining Art and History.

We've chosen some Grecian Urns but you could do this activity for any historical artwork/artefact. We've also tried this for a Roman Statue, Celt Art and a Maya Artefact.
Become a paper archaeologist. Find a few examples of artefacts, draw around them to create the template. Cut out your picture, and cut it into pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. Get the children to piece it back together, drawing in the missing piece themselves.
