I think I have found human bone

All finds of human bone must be reported to the police and further disturbance must cease until you have been granted legal permission to continue. 

Where possible, do not touch them and avoid disturbing the ground in their vicinity. Taking a photo can be helpful. 

You can report it to the Regional Archaeologist, Archaeology Service, Shetland Islands Council, who will liaise with the police regarding bone which might be archaeological.  

In Shetland, human bone is often found eroding from archaeological sites, either from the ancient past (prehistoric or medieval) or from more recent naturally disturbed graveyards (rabbits/ coastal erosion, etc)  - particularly St Ninians Isle.  

• If you believe that your find is likely to be archaeological (eg: it comes from a known archaeological site), you are encouraged to contact the Archaeology Service in the first instance. Please come to reception at 8 North Ness. The Regional Archaeologist will assess the situation and will assume responsibility for reporting it to the police. 
• If you are uncertain whether the bone is human or animal, you are welcome to contact the Regional Archaeologist. It is not always easy to differentiate, even for an archaeologist. 

If your find is in a suspicious location, has modern clothing or jewellery, or has soft tissue attached, please dial 999 immediately.
