Drawing on the results of an extensive programme of fieldwork in the Bay of Firth, Mainland Orkney, the text explores the idea that the physical appearance of the house is a potent resource for materialising the dichtomous alliance and descent principles apparent in the archaeological evidence for the early and later Neolithic of Orkney. The results of major excavations undertaken during the Cuween-Wideford Landscape Project are described and discussed in detail here, enabling tracing of the development and fragmentation of sociétés à maisons over a 1500 year period of Northern Isles prehistory.
