This report investigates two Neolithic sites on the West Mainland of Orkney (Skara Brae and Ness of Brodga) using thin section micromorphology, one of the main methods of geoarcheological research used in the North Atlantic. Records of the past landscape and the historical environmental and cultural data relevant to the area are also incorporated in order to interpret the findings on the sediment make-up and archaeological significance of the sites. Their similarities and differences are compared.
