Research Seminar 2: The middle Bronze Age revolution?
Просмотров 8493 года назад
The years between 1500-1150 BC have often been seen as a key period of change in later prehistory. Settlements and field systems become more visible in the archaeological record, in what has been characterised as a time of ‘settling down’, or even a ‘second agricultural revolution’. It may be a good time to reassess these ideas, as sites are being discovered in regions where few or none were kn...

My son spent time in that prison, he was treated very well lol
There is actually local stone that n Cambridge! Cherry Hinton and barrington quarry’s were used to build come of the universities
Thank god these poor souls are sleeping peacefully now and not having to endure these inhumane conditions
honestly its sad to know what lancaster used to be and what it is now. half of it is a crack den and half of it is just students
Sounds very exciting!
So if you 2 are from Lancaster how come you both dont speak with a northern accent?have you both been living here in London for the last 10 years or something?
Thanks for that, very interesting. Nice to see the old footage, is there anymore of it?
Can you excavate hackensall mound in knottend near the windy harbor site. Someone has placed a wAr memorial on top of the mound, presumably to hide what it contains
Really interesting
Very interesting insight into Cambridge’s Roman history! Thank you for sharing with such enthusiasm and expertise
Great video, thanks very much.
Thank you, looking forward to watching this.
Hope you enjoy it!
Archaeology. A career in ruins.
my husband works on the building site at whitington way and he's always bringing home anceint bits of pot, qourn-stones and arrowheads! the kids love it. makes u wonder what was going on there?
Thankyou everyone
Thanks for a wonderful presentation of a site that is virtually on my doorstep. Every time l have driven past l have wondered what has been found.
At 2:04: 00 Alison > Chantal said it. The Overlap.
What is going to happen to the site? There will be very detailed Ordnance Survey maps showing the exact layout of the various streets and courts available, and possibly images of the houses as they originally looked, and now that the groundwork is visible it's possible that a exact replica using recycled bricks, tiles, paving stones, etc could be built on the actual site or maybe in a museum.
A housing tower block now stands on the site Simon.
Such a thought provoking area, and I'm glad it has been preserved as part of Manchester's history.
Great insight - thanks for the time and effort put into making the video - added to social media
I’m interested in social history, angel meadow in particular, nice presentation, thanks .Salford.
