Wow. Thorough stuff. You didnt dwell much on the idea these are the 1st stone structures

Please can you supply your presenters with clip on microphones, this would make the audio run more smoothly, especially with the more mobile ones 🤗🤗

How to find such maps for Poland? Seems those featuring building outlines are quite rare. :(

My first thought given the arc of the tube was that it was worn on the head like a tiara or diadem rather than around the neck like a torc. Because the designs are on both sides it would further support a head-top use. Perhaps microscopic analysis would reveal wear on one side if it were worn on the chest. If they do an Archimedes displacement experiment, they might learn if the weight/volume indicates if the inside is filled with anything other than air.

Remarkable lecture, one of the most fulfilling ones I've had the pleasure to watch in the last decade.

Finding the bulla was one. I am a detectorist myself but never that lucky. Two is your talk about the sun pendant. IIt's a great find opening many doors. I learned a thing or two.

AS a maker I think this is a mistake. It is easier to do than you think. It may also be a change of mind. Although we try to make things which are symmetrical, it is not possible all the time. Wed can see the rear of the piece is considerably lower in quality than the face side. The whole design is skewed and the elements do not meet up very precisely at all.. The scale of working ois evidence of skill, but by using toothed tool we get multiple parallel lines, and it is quicker as well as more accurate. I would not call gold 3mm thick thin, far from it.

Excellent. Thanks ❤

This got me thinking. Had the same body, killed with a flint arrowhead, been found here in America no one could touch or examine it. That got me thinking about the differences between my hunter gatherer ancestors and Indians. Mine had wheels, pottery, and different animals. The Iroquois that used to be here only had pottery a few hundred years ago. Yet in South America they had pottery 2500 BC. Why did it take 3000 years for pottery to get here? Perhaps Polynesians gave pottery to South America?? China had it 18,000 years ago. All of this is very interesting to me. I feel many of the big stones in the UK were Gods to them. I never thought that pottery, in a way, is a man made stone. See what happens when you get me thinking?

Who found this? Ohhhhhh that’s right those metal detectorists…those redneck rubes that look low, vulture, and poor while swiping their "Rube Wands" over the earth and beach. I remember many archaeologists swiping derision at these blokes. The entire archaeological world owes a giant apology and following "thank you" to these heroes and victors. BTW. Can you age date this? If not, why isn’t this just buried/lost recently given the ridiculous quality and advanced workmanship? I don’t question the intellect, just the visual demand on ancient eyes.

First thing i noticed or checked was how many rays or triangles in each row and not surprisingly there are 12 on the outside and 7 on the inner with 3 or possibly two in the center either would work esotericly. 12 for the zodiac 7 for the planets

As a grocery meat department clerk, I wonder if they had a set of false weights?

Fascinating ,thanks

I have just been on ypur website, the facility is amazing! I have been fascinated with the meaning of the place names in wales for some time, I keep a book in the car for that reason. Your website is amazing. Thank you very much for such a valuable resource.

Utterly patronising & offensive! What on earth is happening when we the welsh have to change our own language & culture to pander to the apparent whims of others outside of wales? Even those within Wales? What is going on? Why should our culture & history be erased to appease those that seeming can't be bothered to immerse themselves in the magic of the land, the rich heritage, the depth of the language? We have every right to preserve the names in wales. I cannot grasp the reality where others would want to move to wales and then attempt to erase the history. It seems narcissistic to me to assert ones own will and desire over welsh place names that hold a depth of history & root the place in the land. Surely if you don't like the names & you don't respect the culture then it would be better to move elsehwere?!?!? I live in Caerphilly 🎉

Many thanks for a very informative and thought-provoking talk. I'd be interested to know why the lecturer dates the sun pendant to the late bronze age rather than earlier in the bronze age. It seems to me that the decorative motifs resemble those found on lunulae, which are thought to be earlier in date.

"Whoever can lucidly read the mountains shall know the future".

Fantastic presentation. I'm going friday. Amazing work you're all doing at CPAT to preserve our history. Thank you so much.

Fascinating presentation, thank you.

The last drowning of Cantre'r Gwaelod was the tsunami in 536AD.

Fascinating history. So glad to see the strong plan of conservation. My husband and I are visiting the hotel in two weeks and your video has given me new perspective and an added bit of excitement to see the ruins as well as the “new” build.

great job

Tiara of the Sun. See Sumerian and Egyptian icons Crescent Bowl or Solar Boat... denoting Solar Phenom. We all knew about what is to come.

The only skull that Hubert Savery showed me, soon after excavation from Pen y Wyrlod, seemed to us female - no occipital process, no supraorbital ridges. She was in a niche and apparently when the farmer took a digger to the mound and the stone fell away, leaving the skull for him to see, he rightly informed the local policeman, who was archaeologically inclined and sent to the NMW. We thought she had been a good-looking young lady - teeth not much ground, probably a dimple in her chin. The skull also had some deposit on her molar teeth, which suggests that she cannot have eaten much for a fortnight or so before her death. We can think of various conditions that would cause this. DNA was not around for archaeology in those days. So presumably the face reconstructed for the model must have been from another skull. I am just wondering where he was found.

Diolch yn fawr iawn for a very interesting talk, we have checked out the maps and found the original names to the fields near us.

I wish my country had a bunch of canals so I could get a boat and sail on an inland adventure.

Thanks for the talk, very interesting. My hobby is metal detecting (a legit one who respects the law and History) and I often take into account field names in hope that they will give a clue as to what was previously on the land in the past. Just as an example, one of the field names on one of my permissions is 'Cefn yr wchyn' which according to Google translator means 'the back of the weasel' surely that's not what they have called the field! What could that possibly mean? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Very interesting - thanks. I volunteered on the dig at Llanllyr in May last year. It was my first dig and I really enjoyed. All the staff from Portalis and UWTSD were great.

Wow ... I didn't know that both Dr Samantha Brummage and Prof. Martin Bates are "Trans" ... @0:44 Isn't it amazing what kind of things you find out on the internet. I am so glad that Master Bates became a Professor, it must have been dark hiding in that closet.

Great video, thanks for sharing! This content desperately needs Promo>SM.

Let’s see some live excavation.

every time I go to the black mountains I feel weird, like somethings not right, the same way I feel about Drumau mountain in Skewen, or dan-yr-ogof and many other places in south Wales. I feel like the landscape is hiding something, the geography just seems special, the minerals seem interesting and the forests are like graveyards for ruins that seem to be buried. History as it is written just doesn't seem to fit what I am seeing and it just fills me with a delicious suspicion and curiosity. Sometimes the evidence seems questionable and the conclusions always seem to be aiming for the same objective that just doesn't make sense to me at all. It's like putting together hundreds of different jigsaws, only every single one turns out be be some sort of duck, only after you put in the last few pieces. Either I'm crazy or the Romans are still diddling in our affairs :) our preserved history is always someone else's - Norman, Roman, Christian, Saxon. All our native history is either hidden, buried under new forests or making up flat stone walls on farmland. It's just a little hobby to keep me fit and active, but what a fun hobby it is :)

Thoroughly enjoyed your well paced & interesting talk.

Hooray. Sorry I missed the original lecture

noisy lot !! LOL

Looks like everyone is having fun 😊

🙈 P-R-O-M-O-S-M!!

Very interesting and enjoyable. Thank you.

Really interesting talk. I stopped for a rest on Beacon Ring while walking Offa's Dyke last year. It is a lovely spot and it is good to learn more about it.

Very interesting, well-paced and informative and added a good bit to my gradually accumulating knowledge of Neanderthals. Just got Rebecca WS's book for Christmas so it was also nice to be able to put a voice, if not a face, to the prose.

If *(if)* you want a real genetic discovery, I submit to you that every ancient civilization can be identified by their paternal Y chromosome. These sixteen ancient civilizations are as follows... Greek Thracians L, Greek sea people T, Europeans R, Italy K, Medes Q, Siberia N, China O, Aramean F, Lydian F2, Assyrian G, Elamite H, Hebrew/Arab I & J, North African E3 M81, Egyptian E3 V12, Canaanite E3 M123, Ethiopian E3 V32. These sixteen ancient civilizations correspond to the sixteen grandsons of Noah. Neanderthals are Japhethite descendants and Denisovans are a mix of Japhethites and Cushites. (Not Semitic)

Brilliant speaker, brilliant talk, thanks so much.

Excellent, thank you!

2.7% Neandertal, 2.5% Denisovan, 100% European. Likely Siberian deep heritage. I LOVE Neandertal peoples. They are cute, as anyone who has ever loved a troll can attest.

Very interesting lecture. I live near the "Pontnewydd" site. However it's actually in "Bontnewydd". The initial sound mutates to "B".

Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you for posting.

An excellent presentation. For 25 years I have spent altogether 4 years on many personal field missions to the Moroccan Sahara, Tafilalet and Draa region. I'm very interested in the migrations of hominids from the Eastern and Southern sub saharan regions during interglacial periods. The Daoura river flowing south from the Atlas ends in a fossil delta similar to the Okavango delta. And would have been a corridor of repeated migrations. Earliest modern human skull was found at Jbel er Houd in Morocco. Hominid fossils are rare there. However 1.5 million year old to the late stone age tools are abundant and extremely interesting. Thanks for a very interesting vid.
