(I know, it sounds weird)
Neolithic carving raises eyebrows
Richard Strachan, senior archaeologist with the Historic Scotland cultural resources team, said: “Initial comparisons do show a similarity in use of this eyebrow motif and may point to the possibility that the markings in the cairn are meant to show human eyebrows and eyes, as the style is very similar to the figurine.
“Alternatively, we may be seeing the re-use of a motif familiar to the carver and applied to different contexts with different meaning.
