Scottish dig unearths '10,000-year-old home' at Echline
The remains of what is believed to be one of Scotland's earliest homes are uncovered during construction works for the new Forth crossing.
The site dates from the Mesolithic period, about 10,000 years ago. Archaeological excavation works have been taking place in a field at Echline in South Queensferry in preparation for the Forth Replacement Crossing. A large oval pit nearly 7m in length is all that remains of the dwelling, along with hearths, flint and arrowheads. Delete the scoop?

Greek islands were inhabited 170,000 years ago
Neanderthals and other extinct human lineages might have been ancient mariners, venturing to the Mediterranean islands thousands of years earlier than previously thought.
This prehistoric seafaring could shed light on the mental capabilities of these lost relatives of modern humans, researchers say. Scientists had thought the Mediterranean islands were first settled about 9,000 years ago by Neolithic or New Stone Age farmers and shepherds. "On a lot of Mediterranean islands, you have these amazing remains from classical antiquity to study, so for many years people didn't even look for older sites," said archaeologist Alan Simmons at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas.
