About the Author

CAROLINE WICKHAM-JONES graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1977 and has worked in Scottish Archaeology ever since. Her interests lie in the earliest settlers of Scotland and in the way the Scottish landscape holds traces of past generations. She has carried out fieldwork in many different parts of Scotland. She now lives and works in Orkney where she is working on a project to examine changes in the landscape over the past 10,000 years. She is a popular author and broadcaster, and her award winning programme Orky-ology for BBC Radio Orkney is now in its sixth season.
