#UnearthedHistory #Archaeology #Documentary
Well, another outstanding and rewarding episode, and presented by the equally outstanding and brilliant Prof Alice Roberts. I feel some genuine regret that I am retired to the far side of the planet, but through the internet I can remain fully informed regarding the important archeological finds, and keep up to date with the latest research, with the consequent adjustments to our understanding of pre-history Britain.
Amusingly, I recall one or two of these discoveries being made, as one of my past colleagues and ardent archeologist would hurtle into my rooms, excited to share the news of the absolute latest find from some very muddy dig :)
We are very fortunate indeed that this fabulous series continues to be uploaded to RUclips - thank you !!!!!!!
Yesssssssssss
Good luck with your relocation and subsequent 'new' life, Sir.
I’m sure even in Australia or New Zealand there are things worth excavating.
@@einsam_aber_frei Well, indeed. A young post-grad I know has been gaining experience working in a number of digs, both in NZ and at various Islands. However, NZ is a young country, and only settled by Europeans a few centuries ago. The Maori - indigenous or not depending on one`s point of view, were, fundamentally a hunter -gatherer society utilizing stone tools, but with no written language and timber construction of dwellings etc.
Consequently archeology is a bit then, as I understand it, but there are, undoubtedly artifacts which continue to be found, and there are a number of outstanding Maori historians whose deep knowledge of their culture is absolutely vital for greater understanding and appreciation :)
@@user-ck3uu8rj3x Thank you, you are very kind. My wife was a New Zealander, and wished for us to spend our retirement in NZ.She is dead now, so that I live in a country that I have little familiarity with, and as an Emeritus Oxford Prof with a ' posh ' English accent, I most definitely don`t fit in :(
36 hour flight times are no longer a rational choice,but I remain in good contact with many academics and professionals to keep me in the loop and abreast of current advances in a range of research that are still of interest to me - distance is only a small disadvantage - thank you, and take care :)
Dr. Henry Chapman! Congratulations Sir
This episode was filmed in 2011, so Dr. Chapman has held the title for some time now. :) But I get it, it sounds "new" to us Time Team watchers. :)
Henry Chapman sounding a bit like Francis Pryor…love it👍😊
Great to see Henry again now Dr Henry Chapman well deserved
My grandmother had such a flour grinder the handle of the upper piece was wooden .I remember my mother grinding flour and rice.Although we had mills for a large quantity in the area people still used the stone mills in their house.Now all those items are in the traditional museum.In old times people kept their tools and utensils!And use them!I come from Greece and I am 68 !Thanks for your work and reminding me of my grandmother!

Brilliant series by amazing archaeologists and professors. Well done
Alice does it again. Beautiful.
I always enjoy watching her programs on the archaeology in Britain.
Yes she is! Alice has had my full attention since she first appeared on Time Team, back in her strawberry hair days. Beautiful and very bright.
she doesn't know it yet but i will marry her 100% 🤣🤣
Get in line, man.
@williscopeland7114 There's something so hot about osteoarchaeologists, isn't there?
So much information to absorb and reify, I had to watch it twice. I love Dr. Alice Robert's sheer enthusiasm and how she presents the findings. She makes the information personal as well as exciting. Great jam-packed show!

The work put into making that walkway is huge. People working together, having time and foodstuffs so they could take the days and hours from hunting and herding, and growing food to down tools and work felling and tiding the stakes, shaping the points and then driving them into the mud. That done they had to create the walking surface! The effort equivalent to Stonehenge! I’d be fascinated if one of the Archeologists could do a video on how all this was done and how long it took. How much upkeep had to be done?
Thank you, fascinating video.

Burying the bodies in peat is no explanation of peculiar assembling. If the buried bones were, indeed, in a tightly flexed position, then there is an enormous problem with why they were, in fact, mixed up. Assuming the archaeological crew are not the ones who scrambled the bones around, then interments were constructed - by the people who buried the bones, to appear as single skeletons, laid in an individual grave. That raises a lot of questions. I have worked at interment sites where burials were taking place more rapidly than previous interments decaying, and the earlier fragments were simply dropped into the grave pit after the new occupant was placed and any ceremony conducted. The older bones, sometimes still partially articulated, were dropped into the grave pit fill. That can create puzzles as you try to reassemble skeletons - _and_ serious acculturation problems for descendants monitoring the work encounter a reality their oral histories have never included. This is an entirely different class of strange, even compared to some Tibetan customs, or Native American platform burials employed by some Rocky Mountain societies. The mussel shells may also have been an instrument like a rattle, which were widely used in prehistory all over the globe.
The Iron Age posts might, in addition, or in addition to "making a statement", have marked a safe path through a wet land, even when the track submerged by flooding. It is a curious reality of archaeology that nearly all actions that people take, individually or collectively, "make sense" in several different dimensions, often ritually, socially, and economically, all at one time. The inclusion of "grave goods" in a burial, in addition to sentimentally sending gear and valuables along to the afterlife with the dead, also maintains or enhances the economic value of examples remaining above ground, regardless of whether we are finding tools, weapons, decorative items, or even evidence of storeable foods.
The burial in peat to stop decomposition suggests that the body was kept on display for a time. It's possible bits went missing over time, so I wonder if the remains were arranged in a way that gave persons a complete skeleton for the afterlife, even if two or three spirits had to share it.
@@maryanneslater9675 There is some strong evidence that around that time period, (Chalcolithic, Bronze Age, and perhaps even the later Neolithic) there was a widespread interest in the dead, and possibly in "consulting" them. I would like to know if there is any temporal span between the various parts assembled as a skeleton. Another possibility is that the various bodies were all thought to contain the same soul. There was a widespread belief in transmigration or reincarnation that followed the Indo-European/Iranian spread. Hindu beliefs (where Buddhism arose) still include it.
When your child starts talking about remembering brown eggs from when she was a little boy, or notices and properly identifies the odor of horses shortly before she even sees one for the first time, you start to wonder how they might have thought about that 5,000 years ago.
@@maryanneslater9675 I wondered something similar. Could it be that after a natural disaster, battle or other event in which people's body parts were separated, survivors put them back together to form a complete skeleton, even if there was no certainty the bones belonged together? It could have been an attempt to restore dignity to the dead.
It was a fence.
Thanks, just great to listen and watch 😊

We seldom hear about the large animals still present at this time, like wolves, bears , aurochs, wild boar lynx and others, making it a more dangerous place to be.

While bones, swords and pottery are wonderful, I want to hear the stories of the lives of the ordinary people. How did they use those pots? What did they eat? How did they educate themselves? They were mostly farmers. What was life like on a farmstead? How did they live through the seasons?
Awesome video. So much rich history on the island. All remarkable and some very sad. Seems violence was a ubiquitous reality in all cultures.

I'm always fascinated to learn about Raimen Baines
I love her accent too!
Nevermind, if mummies were more common.
I'm much more curious, about whether it was common to mix and match them, like Frankenstein's monster.
THAT'S what makes them so unique.
Right? Especially the one with two different upper and lower sets of teeth. So it's not like they cut someone's head off and put it on another body, it's a whole other jaw.
If the mummification happened while flesh was being preserved as this documentary implies, then surely it's quite a gruesomely made mummy of parts.
I wonder how the first person to make metal from rocks discovered this?
thanks
So interesting
Series 2, episode 3, first aired September 2011.
The more reent British "Mummies" can be found in the " Houses of Parliment" . Big Mausoleum next to the river, Can't miss it. don't be put off by the smell .
At about 45:25 the statement is made that the road is running in a straight line. Surprising for pre-Roman Britain. Surprising indeed. Once, when I was living in Winchester I was at the castle. I asked for directions and the person I asked said something along the lines of, follow the straight road, the Roman road.
Too many adverts but well done Alice love yr videos
One thing I would like to know is how in the head. Did they ever figure out that you could take the rock internet into metal? I mean, what could have been the process for them to have figured that add out?
And, how did they figure out how to add metal ores together to make it stronger??
If you mean get metal from ore, probably noticing a strange, hard shiny material coming from rocks under fires for cooking, funeral pyres or ceremonial fires.
@@kathleenmartin7498I guess curiosity, "I wonder what we'll get if we mix these 2 metals", and trial and error like most developments.
I suspect it came from the colour of the rock, they started out with green/copper, and progressed with higher heats and different colours, but how they went from pure copper tools to alloys is amazing really.
Clay kilns are likely the first sources of metal, as saif about other high intensity heat environments, less likely cook fires, mayby pyres, but a bronze age smelting kiln is similar to a pottery oven, and this is Potentially, how we discoverd smelting... By the hard, probably colourful, bits of probably copper. :)
How long ago was that filmed? I'm sure that the Calleva dig stopped for good about 10 years ago. It was a mile or so from Silchester where I lived. Used to go for runs around the Calleva site.
We seem more keen to understand how ppl live once they are gone. But in life we dare ask how ppl live in fear of the answers they might give.
DARLING-----I LUUUUVE YOU
Still waters allowed ancient people to literally see themselves. They were the mirror of the living. On the otherside of the mirror was "the other side"; the dark side: Death. The power of water, fire and speech are manifold. They are the basis for the ascent of humanity, I think. But I digress...... Thank you all at Unearthed History for providing so much fascinating information and great food for thought.
There is evidence of mirrors from 8000 years ago.
Did the mummies have their ancient dna sequenced ? My having South Uist ancestry makes it of special interest.
23:30 I was wondering whether it marked a safe route through marshy or otherwise regularly flooded land?
Being in the USA im so jealous of all the archaeology in England-Europe.
That has always caused me great envy, as well. People that can roll back the history of their homeland to the tune of THOUSANDS of years dont realize just how lucky they are when considering such an aspect of their national identity. Ancient Egypt and Feudal Japan also come to mind.

Then you do not understand what Archeology has and continues to add to the history of the Americas. It extends back far beyond these findings with massive structures and civilizations.

Similar burial rites were performed in many places in Europe...once upon a time
Really interesting content, though music seems a bit overkill for science. Lol
I always wonder if things we think are rituals, based on very small samples, are actuslly the behaviours of serial killers or other outliers who performed their own private rituals on their victims. If you think of the remains some of our modern killers have left, you might think their personal burial areas were official, in hundreds of years time. Well, if we lost all written history.
you are so F-ing talented
owl is amazing
Who says there was no insurance? If the archeology shows us anything it shows these people were just like us. I think that’s a large assumption 😊
I think we need to put all our efforts into the present. And save humankind so we actually survive to look back into the past.

My vote for the very best presenter of all the best history/pre-history documentary presenters (and there are some very good ones) is the brilliant Prof Roberts. (Also my number 1 celebrity crush.)
The presenter's strong point is her melodious voice. Her weakness is, paradoxically, her strong point. Today I closed my eyes to better appreciate what Alicia Roberts was saying and I almost fell asleep. Her tone of voice captured me, calmed me and made me wander and I immersed myself in the dreamlike universe as if I were easy prey for a Greek mermaid singing information about archeology in English. But it's not necessarily her fault. I was a little tired.

Myth
Alice Roberts was doing well until the closing sentences:
"The Romans brought us writing, but written history only tells part of the story. Archaeology not only fills in the gaps; it paints a much more complex picture of our past, and connects us with the lives of ordinary people."
This is the kind of pitting of documentary evidence against archaeological evidence that is so partisan, and so unnecessary. They are just different forms of evidence, and they complement each other. I mean, it could have been equally said, "Archaeology only tells part of the story. Written history not only fills in the gaps, but it paints a much more complex picture", etc.
Can we please get over our immature reflex of pitting one discipline against the other, and learn to work together and respect each other's disciplines?
Agree, and I also see ancient written accounts being either accepted as factual or dismissed as being biased depending on what the scholars want to portray
Interesting th u
The Waveney site was interesting in that it showed how similar we "modern" people are to people of the past. The people of the past used planking and post to navigate across boggy ground and the investigating archeologists used the modern equivalent to solve the same problem ... modern day pallets. When lifting the posts from the peat, a log, rope and human muscle power. Are we really that different from the people of the past, or is it that our tools are just a little better.
However did those mummy teeth look so good without any added fluoride in their water? Dentists please feel free to elaborate 😂

I only wish that i had, had Alice Roberts as my history teacher at school. I would certainly have paid more attention to what she has to say, than the boring drivel we were fed by an obviously couldn't give a tinkers cuss as to whether we were learning anything deadly dull history teacher.
if Iron Age coins had the names of tribal leaders on them, surely writing must predate the Roman conquest
Obviously they traded and traveled to the continent, and Mediterranean historians mention Britons in various works predating Roman invasion. It's not too surprising to see more intricate and fancy accoutrements in Celtic Britain.
the Cara silver and gold coins have been found in Wales , Caratacus was the Cymric Chieftain and King Caradoc, certainly we have so many place names with his name and family around Llyswyrnwy and Pentre Meurig also at Twyn Caradoc and Caer Caradoc above Brynna , he in our History that was handed down, was Known to the Romans , we know there were Large Battles with the Romans around this area, because there are so many Roman Forts and Roman burials here, Caer Caradoc has one of the Largest Bronze Age Burials in Britain and there are literally within 10 miles more than twenty Hillforts, many were still in use when the Saxons entered in the 6th Century and left pretty well soon after coming back over the next 300 Years for Battles they lost.
Wales is a No No for archaeologists, why because there are answers here that the English establishment and the British Museum aka English Heritage will not want to hear and see.
Roman and Etruscan pottery has been found in South Wales the Greeks and later Romans were trading here from at least 800 BC. Celts also travelled to the European Mainland and Brythonic Celts were with the Etruscans in the Punic Wars, the Etruscan city of Caeri like Fiesole has many Celtic Burials.
We were as the British people a lot more sophisticated than you think, for Romans wore our Clothing in Rome, the first Gucci and Versace perhaps!
