1:00:13Now PlayingDr. Gordon Noble is Professor of Archaeology at Aberdeen University and lead archaeologist on many fascinating digs in Pictland.
He and his colleagues have been at the forefront of a series of astonishing discoveries over the last couple of decades in regards to Scotland's enigmatic Post-Roman age and its people known as the Picts. Once considered mysterious and the very epitome of the other, today archaeology has revealed a completely different story. Far from a peripheral area this was a society at the very forefront of Britain, with vast hitherto unknown settlements of thousands of people and some of the most incredible artwork in contemporary Europe. I asked Dr. Noble to discuss the recent developments at incredible sites such as Tap o Noth, Mither Tap, Burghead, Dunnicaer, East Lomond and more.
