"A Bronze Age Barrow Cemetery at Picket Twenty" with Sharon Clough and Alistair Barclay
Five beautiful Bronze Age barrows, a possible mortuary house, cremation burials, and a rare Beaker grave... Hampshire's Picket 20 revealed a landscape that was once a focus for funerary activity, then suddenly avoided for the next 1000 years. But why?

Recovering and Remembering Lt John Fisher Jr, USAAF
Просмотров 323Месяц назад
80 years to the day, Lt John Fisher’s plane crashed into Suffolk woodland, as he and his copilot attempted the first Operation Aphrodite mission, targeting V-weapon sites in occupied Europe. In the ensuing explosion, Lt Fisher was killed. John saved the life of his copilot by physically ejecting him from the aircraft, and the lives of those harvesting in surrounding fields by skilfully manoeuvr...
Mick Aston Annual Lecture 2024: "Avebury: Rethinking a Henge and its Landscape"
Просмотров 22 тыс.2 месяца назад
Avebury is one of the great monuments of prehistoric Europe. It is often overshadowed by its more famous cousin, Stonehenge, and has not received the same level of archaeological attention, with the last major excavations at Avebury taking place during the 1930s. However, work within the wider landscape has been ongoing and the results of some of that fieldwork are presented here, with particul...
"A Medieval Punishment Cemetery" - excavations at Weyhill, Andover
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.6 месяцев назад
In 2016, in advance of construction at a site between Andover and Weyhill, Hampshire, a watching brief revealed human remains. The discovery led to the excavation of a densely crowded group of partly disturbed graves, and it soon became clear that this was not a normal community cemetery. Evidence of violence, punishment and disarticulated bone from 124 individuals soon became apparent from the...
"Uncovering a Bronze Age Barrow Cemetery in Salisbury" - excavations at Netherhampton
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.6 месяцев назад
In 2023, we excavated a site with a dozen round barrows of probable Beaker and Early Bronze Age date, ahead of a new residential development between the village of Netherhampton and the Harnham suburb of south Salisbury. Unlike the well-preserved earthworks of Salisbury Plain and Cranborne Chase, nearly all of the barrows had been ploughed flat. The cemetery was made of various clusters of barr...

We’ll be endorsing a sustainable approach to our cultural heritage and u...
Joan Pye Lecture 2023: "Writing and Power in the Roman World" with Prof. Hella Eckardt
Просмотров 5347 месяцев назад
Hosted by the Roman Research Trust and Cotswold Archaeology, Professor Hella Eckardt's talk explores the contribution of material culture studies to our understanding of Roman literacy. From looking at the iconographic, funerary, and artefactual evidence, such as the association of inkwells and other writing equipment with men, women, and children, what can we learn about the practice of writin...
"The Staffordshire Hoard: a treasure of the early Anglo-Saxon period"
Просмотров 11 тыс.8 месяцев назад
Discovered by a metal detectorist near Lichfield (north of Birmingham), in July 2009, the Staffordshire Hoard contains a unique combination of objects ― mostly military but with some of the emerging Church. Made mainly between c. 570 and c. 650 AD, almost all the objects are of gold or silver, many with inlaid garnets, and they display exquisite craftwork and artistry. However, the collection i...
Mick Aston Annual Lecture 2023: Roman Tile Production at Minety
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.9 месяцев назад
The village of Minety, 12 miles south of Cirencester, has long been known as a place where ceramic tile production took place during the Roman period, and in particular the likely source of tiles stamped with a series of Latin letters which are found in Cirencester, across the Cotswolds, and beyond. In 2022, Cotswold Archaeology commenced a community-based project at Brandiers Farm, the first n...

Whilst excavating at Vistry’s new residential development near Salisbury, Steve and his team uncovered a small Bronze Age barrow cemetery in an unexplored funerary landscape of over 30 ring ditches. Nestled near the remains of a Beaker child, they uncovered this beautiful little Yorkshire food vessel. The site is located to the south of Netherhampton Road, on the very edge of the World Heritage...

So there is the way to find out diet from bones. Why this is not presented everytime. I answer myself, the knew evolution of consciousness, based on diet. It's called animal desire, and there is difference to eat for taste or to survive. Alegory of Noah movie.
When do we whites get our reparations for Roman slavery?
Is it just me - this yank is having more than a small amount of trouble deciphering this nice lady's British accent. Seems like a fantastic lecture though!!!
I think I remember reading that this was the site of a pub. It's turned into a bit of a nature reserve recently. I hope they make a little park out of it, but I guess that's just a dream.
For anyone interested this plot now STILL sits empty, a wasteland reclaimed by nature, abandoned right in the centre of the town. I'm pretty sure it floods and creates a pond every half a year, a fense has been kicked in ,and you sometimes see the odd homeless tent pitched up in there. shame, you'd think someone would want to preserve/develop the land.
7 to 10 % of total population, well today the neoliberal paradigm ensures that a good 50 % are trapped in low-wage slavery.
Thanks for uploading! Pity the audio is so poor. - Nevermind, the poor audio was just the intro.
@abQUINTON1 Thanks for the extra info on audio. I almost turned Neil off, due to that... I'm a true TT fan from California (in the Redwoods) & just heard about Time Signs & found this from another TT admirer who put this all on YT. A great spot is Reijer Zaaijer's channel and he has all 20 seasons, plus the failed US attempt, the TT Extra by Robin Bush, Tony's shows, Mud Men...etc. Love intelligent shows like this. Wish I could do a new life & have a career in Archaeology & Paleontology. I'm a rockhound & love digging in the dirt...lol. Cheers !
Great lecture!
Great to hear you found it interesting!
I'm currently watching a program about this castle and I can't help but think it is actually on top of an older structure given the location on top of a huge almost pyramid style hill. I would be interested in learning if there are researchers who have entertained the same idea.
Hi Edward, great question! The huge mound that Clare Castle stands on was built to take the castle in the late 11th century. It is particularly tall but typical of the early motte and bailey castles of the time, where soon after settling themselves in England the Barons built large mounds with wooden keeps on top, as a symbol of power and to maintain control. There is an image of a motte and wooden keep just having been constructed on the Bayeux Tapestry. It is quite possible that it is built on older remains, but we don’t as yet have any evidence that the earthworks themselves are anything other than Norman. The possibility that the pre-Norman, late Saxon town had some defensive earthworks cannot be ruled out…but whether they were any of these is unknown. There are other notable sites, e.g. Thetford Castle, that was built on an Iron Age defended site, but as yet no evidence for that at Clare.
Great work. Wish I had found this earlier.
Anna's favourite site find is a sherd turned spindlewhorl, which is pretty cool!
Can't argue with her! 😊 Megan - you're in the draw! 🎄🎁🎅
Why are they called corn dryers? Corn wouldn't arrive in Europe for another thousand years? I have done some research but I can't find an explanation for this?
Hi Joseph! Corn is just a generic UK term for cereal grains (wheat, oats, barley etc), as opposed to the American direct meaning of corn. The main species in this corn dryer was spelt wheat (the predominant species of wheat in this part of Britain during the Roman period). Wheat was cultivated as a crop in Britain from the early Neolithic and the earliest dated spelt wheat in Britain is likely from Thanet, where it was dated to the end of the Early Bronze Age (Barclay et al. 2011; Martin et al. 2012). Hope that helps explain! :)
@@CotswoldArchaeology very helpful thank you Kama because I was reading some literature on Roman cooking and it was talking about salad corn and corn dryers, so I looked into it and couldn't find anything.

Well that brought back a lot of memories of working on those sites. Nice one.
Pleased you enjoyed it Pete 😊👍
Isn't technology brilliant.
It's making so much difference at the moment, in particular. Being able to share models like this at least in some way makes up for not being able to get people onto site! If you like this sort of thing, you may enjoy our SketchFab page: sketchfab.com/cotswoldarchaeology - Rosanna
Miss you Yoda Mick
Great job lake
Brilliant lecture- thank you.
Thanks, Paul - great to hear you enjoyed it!
Wow Simon, You'll have to give us a dendro date on those timbers when you get them. I'm trying to organise a test pit to be put in a field over a possible (Norman) Manor House. I had it Geophyised by Tony from Archeoscan, but he said nothing was there. So I bought my own Geophyis machine (wow they are expensive) and found something. So I thought if your rapping up your excavations and could spare a digger?? It's near Yate.
Oh wow, that's amazing :D
Thank you! :D
How do these sites always get buried under so much earth? And then they are usually in very good condition when uncovered.???
Hi David! Because hypocausts were underground (the floor was on top), once they fell out of use they quickly got buried - either deliberately filled in with rubbish or just filled up with natural products like earth, decayed plants etc. So could be quite well preserved when found by archaeologists. - Rosanna
So glad that this video was uploaded. Learnt a lot. Really interesting.
Thanks Laurance, pleased to hear that! We're intending to post more lectures in the future, so keep an eye out :) - Rosanna
Hi Simon :D
