G-Manicus Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 More from Shetland News ... "People living in the Iron Age at Scatness worked a lot with bronze and with silver. This is indicative of the fact that they had nice and good jewellery. We also know that they made jewellery on site." She said the only similar find in Shetland was in 1950s when a five link chain turned up during excavations at Clickimin, in Lerwick. "This chain is much longer and we should be able to date it far more accurately." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
