  1. It was probably from after the last Sullom Voe shutdown! This’ll be up on *The Rig Workers Rant*

  2. A big part of archeology is finding tools and dating them by their construction and use.

    These are clearly from the ‘Rubber Age’. Cup and Ring marks usually indicate Pictish origin, but this hoard only contains ‘cocks’ and rings so it’s quite possibly from the ‘Middle Ages’ (usually between 40 and 60, when the kids leave home), though you’d usually expect to find a ball gag too.

  3. At last, hard evidence that the Mesolithic beaker people of Shetland were trading and engaging in cultural exchange with the lost dildo diaspora of Doggerland.

    Eye watering stuff, truly.

  4. I’ve a friend who works for an industrial archaeology company who has had to verify the identity of numerous ‘artifacts’ over the years.

    So if you want to slow down a local building site on an area where there might be archaeological significance, chuck a muddy glass butt plug over the wall.
