Channel Island Bronze Age Sheep

The spindle whorls found on Sark show that channel islanders were raising sheep for wool in the bronze age according to Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe. Latest discoveries from the  second millennium B.C site on Sark this summer include amber beads from Denmark as well as whorls for spinning wool.

This is the 9th year that Professor Cunliffe and his team have returned to the island.
