Skara Brae is located in the Bay of Skaill on the west coast of the largest island in the Orkney archipelago of Scotland (1). The Neolithic village was discovered in the winter of 1850 and radiocarbon dating suggests that construction at the site began approximately 5,000 years ago (2), and meaning the village was an active community between 3200 BC-2200 BC. (3) They worked together to make grooved ware pottery. (1) When the site was finally discovered in 1850, they found a total of 8 prehistoric houses. The first 7 houses were connected and inside were stone dressers, beds, cabinets, and seats. The 8th house was slightly different. It was divided into sections that led archeologists to believe it may have at one time been a workshop.
