Well, they won't say what they see yet and they won't know what it is until they actually excavate. So, let's hope it's worth the expectation they've built up. At least it also appears that "Time Team" are involved to document the dig. A great team and a great program for those interested in archaeology. It's on YouTube now.
bcraven•2mo ago
This is as close to a picture as we can get so far:

"John Gater presents the initial GPR results. Anne and Mark seem suitably impressed!"

ur-whale•2mo ago
Whole article to say exactly nothing.

Reminds me of the artificial hype building around the first segways.

What a load of crap.

emsign•2mo ago
Omg, they found one of the monoliths.

> The latest work has again been made possible by funding from Time Team, for a new programme they will be making next year.

This is funded by a TV show whose primary concern is ratings earned by how exciting is the entertainment value. I think that explains the low-content but very breathless press-release article now: they want to hype it up for the show to get viewers. This smells like show-biz hype rather than scientific excitement.

SpikeMeister•2mo ago
As a fan of Time Team, that's very cynical.

Time Team is a good citizen of the archeological community. It has real professional archaeologists with academic credentials, not just entertainers.

It's funded via Patreon these days and is on YouTube, not TV, so ratings aren't as much of a concern.

Blame the media for the breathless hype if you like, they are the ones benefiting from the clicks here.

I am hoping for a fossilized X-wing.

Now that would be a great pseudo-documentary. It could be presented as a Time Team episode where they're digging away in various trenches, and then one of them finds a strange piece of metal. Somebody takes it away to analyse in their tent whilst the dig slowly continues.

Then she rushes back to tell them the fragment of metal is some weird unknown titanium alloy, and it makes no sense it would be in a site of 3,000 year old dirt!

Then, in a separate trench they unearth an escape pod from an alien vessel.

And then a holographic Carrie Fisher appears, and George Lucas writes the script without her intervention, and it all goes to shit.
oniony•2mo ago
Yeah, we could call it Trench Wars or something. There could be lots of onion soup.

>"totally dissimilar to anything else we've uncovered". "a site that can be seen to be defined by straight lines and rectangular forms, from the architecture down to the art". "without parallel in Atlantic Europe".

Straight lines and rectangular forms in Orkney? Must be aliens.
