NORTH UIST, SCOTLAND—Recent storms have exposed a woven reed basket containing worked quartz and animal bones on an island in the Outer Hebrides. “It’s rare to find well-preserved organic material. It indicates that this basket must have been kept under water from the day that it was placed, or lost, there.

The basket, about half a metre in length, contains a handful of worked quartz stones, and a handful of diverse animal bones.
