 Orkneyjar - Neolithic Unstan Ware and Grooved Ware
Shallow, round bottomed, and with decoration around the rim, Unstan Ware came to be associated with the early Neolithic structures and stalled cairns in Orkney, such as the Knap o' Howar.
Grooved Ware, however, with its flat bottom and intricate decoration of scored grooves, was more common in the larger, and more recent, settlements, such as Skara Brae and Barnhouse.
The Grooved Ware people buried their dead in increasingly larger, and more monumental, cairns such as Maeshowe.

Papers by Julian Thomas, on the contexts in which Grooved Ware is found, and by Andrew Jones and Colin Richards, on ways of approaching the study of this pottery, dropped out while six new contributions on a variety of topics were added (by Edwards and Bradley; Gibson; Brassil and Gibson; Simpson; Brindley and Garwood).
The question of how Grooved Ware is defined, and whether it constitutes a ‘tradition’ (however that may be defined), is not a straightforward matter, and more could have been made of this point.
The degree to which the hypothetical southward spread of Grooved Ware use from Orkney is associated with the spread of practices relating to henges and circles of timber and stone is indeed a vexed and complex question, and other entire volumes have been dedicated to such issues.

The houses were not sunk into the ground but were built into mounds of pre-existing rubbish known as "middens".
Unusually, no Maes Howe type tombs have been found on Rousay and although there are a large number of Orkney-Cromarty chambered cairns, these were built by Unstan Ware people.

Stonehenge was first described by Nennius in the 9th century, who wrote that it was built as a memorial to the 400 nobles who were treacherously slain nearby by Hengist in 472.
Such motifs are however common to the peoples of Brittany at the time and it has been suggested that at least two stages of Stonehenge were built under continental influence.

The few bones found with the cairns, always without rich burial remains, may be an indication that the ancient people hoped the sun’s rays would touch the bones and somehow allow the spirit to reincarnate.
During the period of some 40 generations which the Megalithic people (also called the Grooved Ware People because of the distinctive style of their pottery) constructed these massive mounds, there would have been many deaths from natural causes.

While it is entirely possible that both the Megalithic and Sumerian peoples could have estimated the circumference of the Earth using simple geometry and careful observation, we do not believe that they could have calculated the planet’s mass or accurately assessed the dimensions of the Moon and the Sun.
Having observed and understood this remarkable relationship these people also recognized that the value 366 was important to the Earth because that was the number of rotations it had on its axis in the course of one solar orbit.
But these people, whoever they were, also understood the mass of the Earth in great detail and realized that the ‘366ness’ of our planet goes even deeper.
