One of the great things about this post is that it discusses many contemporary artistic responses to Neolithic carved stone balls, without falling into the trap of deciding the function of that art, or of the balls that inspire it. Many prehistorians are cursed by the search for function.
Kenny Brophy@urbanprehistorian.bsky.social · 2w agoSomeone asked about archaeological spoil heaps a few days ago - my memory! The 1950s excavation spoil heap will be investigated as part of the community-led archaeological work at Hailey chambered cairn, Largs this week.
