Very sad to hear the news that Colin Renfrew has passed away. Colin was not only a giant of prehistoric archaeology, but a great friend to Orkney, including being Honorary President of Orkney Archaeology Society. Our very best wishes to Jane and family at this sad time, he will be very much missed.
