Skara Brae

a village dating from the late Neolithic (first half of the second millennium B.C.) in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. Skara Brae was excavated from 1927 to 1930 by V. G. Childe. Three periods of the village’s history have been established. The most recent village consisted of seven one-room dwellings, with packed-clay floors and centrally located hearths. The dwellings were located on both sides of a narrow lane and in time were connected by low, roofed passageways. The walls of the houses and all the indoor furnishings, including beds, chests, and tables, were made of stone slabs. The principal occupation of the inhabitants was stock raising.
