Altre informazioni:
House 7 at Skara Brae Neolithic settlement, Orkney, Scotland, UK, looking S from above the doorway showing the central hearth, stone dresser & two slab-built box beds, one with a fallen 'bedpost' (L). The stone block by the fire may have been a seat &/or working surface; the corner entrance leads to a corbelled cell. Around 5, 000 years ago, a cluster of 6 self-contained drystone-walled houses linked by subterranean passages was inserted into an existing midden so that the refuse material insulated the walls. A separate workshop (8) stood just to the W. Other features in the houses include wall cupboards (keeping-places), intramural cells (some with drains to serve as lavatories), kerbed & paved enclosures, stone tanks set in the floor, & stone rubbers, mauls, querns, mortars & basins. Some of the utensils found in House 7 are made of whalebone. This is the original House 7, not the replica; the metal & glass roof fitted in 1930 (visible L & R) has been replaced by a 'green roof'.
