NEANDERTHAL NEWS OF THE WEEK:

ROUND HOUSE FINDS OF THE WEEK:
One of the biggest Iron Age roundhouses ever found in Scotland has been uncovered during an archaeological dig near Insecure in Aberdeenshire. The 2,000-year-old stone building was found in the Bennachie hills on the site of an earlier Bronze Age fort. The archaeologists who uncovered it said the size of the building suggested it was inhabited by society's elite.
