The research of Aberdeen University lecturer Caroline Wickham-Jones has been profiled in brand new magazine: Schottland, a German-language publication focusing on all things Scottish. Caroline's life as an archaeologist and work on past sea-level change around the Orkney archipelago forms part of a well-illustrated piece on Orkney which is the main feature of their first issue.
Schottland is aimed at Germans, both at home and abroad, with a love of Scotland. Around a quarter of a million German tourists visit Scotland every year and Schottland will be available, in print and digitally, twice a year. The first issue visits Orkney to look at the archaeology and other cultural attractions including the whisky! This is not just a brief gloss over the archaeology, however: there is an in depth interview with Archaeology Lecturer Caroline Wickham-Jones which looks at her motivation for getting into archaeology, the elements which she finds most fascinating, and the reasons why she thinks archaeology is an indispensable tool for the future.
