I found this information about the roof of the huts. 🙂 Because nothing survived of the structures' roofs, we must assume that they were made of a perishable, organic material. It is likely that whalebone, or driftwood, beams supported a roof of turf, skins, thatched seaweed or straw.
Thank You for the full tour it was wonderful. Gave a great feel to how the kept warm with all that wind. Very smart people .
I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. Skara Brae really is a wonderful place 🙂

It’s crazy how mammoths were still living long after Skara Brae was abandoned.
That was exciting! So what would have supported the grass roof?
