Time Team Dig – Viking Settlement – Fetlar, Shetland Islands

http://www.channel4.com/history/timeteam/2003_fetlar.html for the Viking Settlement Fetlar Programme

Time Team were involved in an archaeological dig on Fetlar from August 26-29th 2002. The programme was shown in the 2003 series.

On their recent visit to Fetlar, Shetland a visit was made by the Yell Young Archaeologists Group to the two sites that were being excavated by Time Team. Yell is the second largest of the Shetland Isles. The membership of YAC in Yell is the whole of Cullivoe Primary School school, all 9 pupils!

They all had a grand day out, and the 3 P7 pupils from last year who have just moved to the local secondary school at Mid Yell also joined the party. After they had finished visiting the site, they then went on a tour of Fetlar listening to stories and tales about the Isle. The school secretary took these photos and has very kindly allowed us to use them on the website – He is actively trying to get other schools involved in Yell, and Unst.
