- The team investigate a possible fifth century cemetery in a ploughed field, where they find a metal shield boss. One male skeleton is holding a drinking vessel. There are hints of much earlier activity as well, including a Bronze Age barrow. Using authentic tools, they fashion a Saxon shield. Conservator Dana Goodburn-Brown examines the details in the x-rays of the shield boss; while Phil and members of Regia Anglorum demonstrate how the shields are used in battle. They are joined by bone specialists Alice Roberts and Margaret Cox, who unearth some coloured beads among the remains.

Something therapeutic about escaping into history when life gets heavy for me. Makes me realize how much worse my existence could've been while simultaneously getting lost in time.
As an American from Alabama, my mind is boggled by the years y'all casually throw out like the 7th century. I love watching these videos. Thanks for all the time and work that has been put in to teach us all about your history.
Actually if you're English or western European its your history.. right?
In TX we dig of 1000 + year old native American stuff
its not their history, its your history... how ironic of a comment. everyone who used to live there now lives here. pretty much... america is a mix of german, irish and english. guess which one of the three are you. probably a mix of all three
@@andiarrohnds5163 Not me. I was born an American so I am not from there. 12 generations ago someone in my family was from there.
@@chrisrichard2526 but america is literally western europe... im not sure how you dont see this. america is rome!
I have always been impressed with the fact that no matter what direction you take a step you can find History in the ground in England
The "cheese glue" used to attach the hide to the shield is pretty much the same recipe used by Medieval & Renaissance artists to make up painting panels; it has often survived better than the wood itself.
So true! If you're interested watch Tudor Monastery Farm on youtube with Peter Ginn, Ruth Goodman etc. Ruth is a historian and in one episode she uses cheese to glue feathers to a "dove" for a play!
This what I always think about every time I go outside. I always imagine how many historical sites were buried beneath the concrete streets, and who were the greatest people who have set foot in the areas people in modern time do not know about.
@Rhonda Clark What asylum did you escape from?
Literal description of St Augustine.
@@shaunm9015 d
I do the same thing I mean I live in Illinois and I imagine what's buried underneath. In England especially there are still hordes of treasure buried either by the church to keep out of vikings hand or vikings sacrificing someone on top of a treasure horde to appeal to the gods. Egypt I mean imagine what's under the sand never found. There are actual cities buried then all the Pharos tombs still not found. Or even WW2 stuff like bodies or treasures still missing dumped in a lake somewhere like the chalice they found in the lake by the SS castle.
I like the Chicago streets because they built the roads literally over the existing brick streets
I get a little teary-eyed when I think of these people, who seem so real, yet who are so far away, forgotten until now.
Teary eye because they have had their graves robbed?
From an American, who has Anglo/Norse/Celtic/Galic heritage, this is like real-time historic archeologic decoding how many of our working/agrarian class 5th Century citizens may have lived & died. Thanks Tony & Team for this insightful History Lesson !
Same background here 48 per cent Norwegian 27 per cent English 17 per cent Irish
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁
It's not TONY's team!
the UK has so much history. It's amazing to make such a find in Lincolnshire. The Anglo-Saxon history uncovered in that field is amazing.
Rowan Atkinson’s Edmund Blackadder was such a great comedic performance, but Tony Robinson’s Baldrick was pure brilliance!!!
So neat to see Tony as himself!
This is the type of content that I could watch all day. I can't imagine holding something that's almost 2000 years old and not freaking out. Truly incredible. Thanks for this.
haha then dn 't come to my house i collect mayan artefazct more than 4000 yars old for some of them
K. Russell, I totally agree...I could watch this kind of stuff all day long...very very interesting
@@FunkyPyramid weird flex, but ok...
I would love to visit Europe to see all it’s historic places. I feel the same way...would feel so astonished and privileged to touch things so old.
My dream was to become an Archeologist, but, due to no money for college I instead live my dream through show's like this. 😍⛏️
The story was presented with deep respect, appreciation for the opportunity, and excitement of any finds or no finds. Rediscovering of battle equipment and testing it out. I'm impressed with much Appreciation for all your talents and skill!

What? This crass carnival barker is giddily dancing on these people's graves. It's all about exploiting their bones for clicks, likes and ad revenue. There's no solemnity about this whatsoever. I hope this clown's bones are dug up, scattered to the wind and sold to the highest bidder some day.
Lz l
really? you think so?
the person clutching th ecup was presented as "a drunk", the possibilitiy that this might have been a significant person who perhaps was a shaman or spiritually important person was not even considered...if he´s holding the cup with the psychedelic substance, my first htought would not be "a drunk". and they smashed one skull with the machine, while i get that there are liminted funds and such things happen, it didn´t feel particularly respectful to me to not even mention that critically.. :/ and then the sexist comment about the tall woman... "she wasn´t pretty"...really? that´s the first thing that comes to mind?
So...while i found it interesting to watch, "respectful" was not the word that came to my mind.
Love Phil he can make color changes in the dirt exciting with his enthusiasm (I was devastated when Mick passed away) love this show, I've been watching for years
I love the eccentric people of the Time team and their contagious excitement and optimism.
Not eccentric but enthusiastic and scientific and professional. Tony Robinson has contributed much to history and archaeology and entertainment in his historical walks and TV programs.
Andrew Riddle the metal detectorist with the long blonde hair has the most welcoming, contagious laugh!! Made me smile everytime!
Recreating the shield was brilliant - especially seeing how it held up to different blows. Truly remarkable the skill they had to create such things. I was especially amazed with how simple it was to make glue! We're so used to picking up such things from the store, already made and bottled, that I'd never even wondered where it came from. Very well done presentation. Always enjoy this team!
simple cheese glue. other alternatives are bone glue or wheat flour. The last one is usually what is used to put wallpapers on walls, but industrialized nowadays.
It is incredible how shallow the finds are. I used to be a farmer and my boss explained to me why you are always picking rocks and what not is that you have to think about the dirt in a field like concrete. The more it is watered and work the heavy stuff flows to the surface.
That's a startling amount of history revealed in only three days!...well done, Time Team!
I never get tired of these. Watched them all in real time in when the show was on, and love revisiting them.
I love the fact that they included the person who first discovered the area even they themselves could have employed one of their own. Such a nice gesture very wholesome.
Man. Knowing myself. If I owned that farm and realized there was a burial site that massive, I would give up as much time as needed to excavate everything. Profits be damned, history like this deserves to be preserved.
Ditto. How wonderful would it be to have that much ancient history in your field? I'd be as happy as a pig in mud out field walking every day.
I never get tired of watching these awesome shows. What an amazing find in the middle of that field, bravo!
Incredible. 45000 yrs of history. The wonderful people who lived and died. It's fascinating. Thanku T.T. from new Zealand.
I went to elementary school in the southwest United States, (an area with extensive archeological history) and on recess for fun, we scoured the playground for pottery shards which were numerous. Years later during construction for enlarging the school, a small ancient pueblo was found on site. I felt quite bothered knowing dozens of us perhaps had bits and bobs of archeological evidence that might have been useful. Ugh. Fortunately the site was deemed common to the area...
Wow those Red Arrows are awesome.....here in the US we have the Blue Angels
Even though they complained about the metal detector guy not recording the location of his finds, without him, this whole thing would not have happened.
And if the metal detector gy had done even a basic location marking, the crew would have saved a lot of time.
True to the point 👍👍👍👍
And to avoid the problem, all they had to do was give him a bundle of those little flags utility people use to mark any hits. They have to make the show interesting though
There's no reason for him to record. They are like the scouts, fast intel with just enough information to peak an interest for the specialized forces. SURE, it would've been smart, to record the position, but that's not what a metal detector does.
I mean, it's extremely rare for them to even canvas an area.
Why doesn't the government subsidies the farmer????
I absolutely love Time Team's approach to history.
It’s explorations such as this that add to and, refine history of the past, that justify continued exploration in the future, I’am thrilled.
Thank you all for this video.
Where I'm at in So. Indiana, I get excited when tractors drudge up arrowheads. I couldn't imagine living somewhere I could actually find bronze artifacts.
I bet there's a lot more in Indiana than you'd be willing to believe 😏
I know, right? ...and then there are the lucky kids in other states that find DINOSAURS. It’s just not fair. There aren’t a lot of fossils in New England, although there are occasionally ancient settlements found.
You do live where there are all kinds of Viking relics and other Roman artifacts. Peoples of Europe or Tartarus as it was then did travel to the Americas. The mound builders built mounds as those are sites of import. There are things buried there. Starts digging!
@@runsontrails3091 Sorry, no Roman or Viking artifacts in Indiana.
Same here in rural Illinois nothing but arrowheads cool but no ancient metal working
At 38 minutes and 22 seconds you will see a very very very rare thing that occurs in England.... You will actually see the sun!
Very true!!! Lol
I live in the Pacific NW (in the state of Oregon) of the US and we have the same weather 9 months out of the year. Every now and then, on those days I get photographic proof.😂
38:22 for a tan
Truly remarkable. What a joy to be able to be a part of this historical moment.
Didn't someone sing that you can get a tan from standing in the English rain?
Absolutely fascinating. This has to be my favorite episode so far.
Though I’m an American, these are my ancestors, too. I’m 91% British and 9% other Western Europe. I find this so fascinating.
Anglo-Saxons were not really British though, back then the Celtic folks (Welsh, Cornish and Bretons) were the “real” British. As mentioned in the docu Anglo-Saxons have a Germanic background. Hence they worshipped Germanic gods. This is very apparent in the naming of the weekdays. Tuesday (Tiw’s Day), Wednesday (Woden’s Day, Woden is another name for Odin), Thursday (Thor’s Day), Friday (Freya’s Day). Paganism was sadly basically erased by Christianity. But modern English is still very similar to German, old English is sooo much closer though. Makes it really easy to tell where Anglo-Saxons originated from or were at least heavily influenced by. When French started to mix into it, around 1000 AD, which was because of a Viking ruler who lived in Brittany and took the throne English became a lot closer to how it is today. French words are the now more ‘posh’ English words while the Anglo-Saxon’s English is considered more colloquial and ‘lower class’. Just some fun facts you might enjoy ☺️
@@sesam.koernchen The Anglo-Saxons were a cultural group who inhabited England. They traced their origins to the 5th-century settlement of incomers to Britain, who migrated to the island from the North Sea coastlands of continental Europe.
Because *
My paternal grandmother was descended from Saxons who lived in The Weald of Kent. They even kept their surnames through the centuries. To make clear , The BRITISH people who were there when the Romans invaded, were not Angles, Saxons,Danes or Franks, they were British. The people of The West Country, Cornwall were a different ethnic group and because of the tin mines people from the then known world came to trade, presumably leaving mixed race children,along with artifacts from North Africa (Phonecian glass) and the Middle East, thus proving that to divide people by skin colour, as they do in America, is absolute twaddle. The Angles were tall and blond, thus they fetched high prices in the slave markets of Rome, also giving the lie to anyone asking for reparations from merely two hundred years ago!
@@joseeallyn9950 that’s really good information. I have a question for you. My great-grandmother’s surname was Polkinhorn and it was from a line that goes all the way back to the 12th century. And they lived in Cornwall until 1850s when my 2nd great-grandfather needed to find work when the tin mines were drying up. I think that branch of my family tree (or that family bamboo - lots of kissing cousins in my family ☺️) Had rarely left Cornwall to go into Devonshire. There’s no evidence of anyone having lived in Devonshire. As far back as I can go through DNA, I’m British. I’m English, Welsh, Scottish and everything else is a trace from the Nordic region. The DNA matches up with the physical genealogy. So for my question: Apart from my Cornish ancestors, my ancestors from the Fens and from N Wales and scattered all over from London to the Lochs, does that seem like I’m truly British or what? Do I have no way of knowing whether the Saxons, Danes, Angles, Franks were any of my ancestors?
I love this man's documentaries. He's always so enthusiastic. Unfortunate the government doesn't protect a land that clearly deserves to be fully excavated. There is so much to learn from the past. Everything from what they did, what they wore, what they ate, their health/age/gender, their ceremonies, and their stories. I guess we are lucky enough to know this little bit.
Farmers need to feed their families.
@@thehairyhominid9972 Farmers feed everyone 🙂
More work is done on these sites after time team does their work and leaves it to be completed.
You don't understand the scope of archeological wealth in some areas - in places that have been nearly continuously occupied for a few thousand years, you have no choice but to document what you find, lift the precious stuff, and let the user have the land. No one would ever build anything or grow anything in some areas if they were kept preserved because of archeological finds. And that's just archeology - there is still paleontology, which adds another layer of discovery - and complication - to these sites.
It doesn't make archeology redundant though. It's still good to know people had found the location just as useful for living as we do a thousand years ago, but a land only remains alive if it's used. UK specifically is one of the best countries when it comes to combining history with modern occupation. I haven't encountered another place where viable historical buildings would be kept occupied, used and actually sought after to this day in such large numbers.
I always wanted to be an archeologist. So exciting.

If movies taught me anything archaeology regularly involves finding biblical artifacts and fighting Nazis.
@@matthewsmith3078 And avoiding getting your face melted off by certain artifacts? 🤣
Me too or a paleontologist.
I know the theme of the show is 3 days, but man, i wish it would be a week. An entire week to dig about and work things out. Rushed things are never as good as doing them right.
Why is Matt wearing white pants at 40:00 , how do you dig in white pants?
My eye for detail has improved thanks to Time Team. I can see everything now.
I’m just gonna keep saying it!! I am obsessed with the Anglo’s,Saxon’s and the Vikings! I really think I was a britt in my past life…..ever since I was a child in school I always wanted to learn more about it but in America at that time we weren’t taught any of this!! I don’t know why..maybe it was because I went catholic school or something..I don’t know!! But I’m always here for these videos!!! Your country is beautiful ❤
A thousand years from now, archeologists will discover cell phones in our graves. They'll still be getting spam calls.

Me too. ☘🍀☘🍀☘🍀
Mr. Tony Robinson. Your life is so much more exciting than mine. Keep up the good work. I am a Saxon from the European side. My whole family loves you.
I love these digs. The people doing the heavy lifting with both knowledge and muscle power are the best. They draw the watchers in and we want to be involved. And these people who've been dead for so many years...I'm made to feel them watching over shoulders, too. I love these programs! Thank you all for what you do.
They enjoy what they are doing.. They are full of energy and enthusiasm.. Thus I enjoy watching it too and found myself laughing with them.. Amazing dig! Excellent narration!
Awe I love Phil. And Tony! What wonderful people you’ve got for this show. This is the BEST channel on RUclips. I can’t believe this is free to the public :’)
This one really got to me. I wonder how they feel leaving the field, knowing most likely there are more graves in the ground.
imagine what the farmer must have felt now knowing for certain of all of the bodies on his property... I'd be freaked out
this is incredible, I really enjoyed the sketches of the people whose remains they discovered.
Victor was a great artist.
Greetings from France ! Your show is very interesting and pleasant to watch, i like the atmosphere. It made me realise how useful metal detectorists can be when declaring potentially interesting finds to archeologists and showing the right spot to scan and "dig". The legislation in france encourages to declare finds but also represses the use of metal detectors "in the aim of finding artefacts that could represent interest for history, arts, archeology" which leads to the paradoxal situation where detectorists can't risk declaring important finds and being sued for clandestine plunder. If well organized and supervised, metal detectorists and archeologist could work together and encourage a better knowledge of our land and history and decrease illegal looting of artefacts.
I like watching the metal detector shows from Germany and France and England and even the mud larking Because I know that they have to report their finds to the government. In the United States so much history gets lost because people don’t have to report anything to the museums or the government.
It's crazy to know this field had been farmed for so much time and this discovery just found. I mean turning the soil decade after decade and just found.
Doesn't take long to vanish history my friend. Not to mention when dealing with grave sites which are already buried. A few extra centuries and that is all she wrote, gone as gone can be. But given the age of the planet one could theoretically dig in virtually any location and eventually find something. Be it dinosaur bones, Ice Age bones, anything really. The path we walk is one that has been walked by trillions of creatures over a billion years. Give it a try one day and you will see what I mean, I tried it in my own backyard and found massive, and I do mean MASSIVE wolf bones. It is everywhere we walk and most just don't even consider it. My Father used to say that every place we walk has a story to tell and one we will never know. And he was right, every space we walk has history but alas most is forgotten and never to be known.
The battle done the fallen resting in the field. Honors and praise to warriors of old. Remembered for generations lost. Forgotten on a field of gold. Found again in times to come.
Did you just make that up?
@@buffycleaveland8116 At the time yes.
I couldn't farm that area again if I owned the land. I'd set up something around the cemetery boundary and just mow it until I could be sure that everything had been lifted from it.
Except there is hardly anywhere that doesn't have history.
Go look for your local area and you'll be shocked at how close the nearest battlefield is.
“The world is mostly just a big ol’ boneyard, Newt. But pretty in the sunlight!”
Robert Duvall as Gus, from “Lonesome Dove”
He still has to make a living.. you know, to actually keep the land? Also like someone else said, the entire world has history, if humans stopped using land that people have died on before.. well you wouldn’t be able to walk pretty much anywhere lol
I'm the same way.
We have a grossly abandoned and neglected cemetery in our city, and I've petitioned the land owner several times to fix it up to no avail, even offering to help.
Statistically, we live and work in a grave. still ,I'd hate to think of my ancestors' resting place being plowed over. Especially if people KNOW it is there.
At some point, a massive nearly intact roman vila with a beautiful mosaic scored by plow lines, but still intact. It was covered back up and the owner is still using the field. UK's government doesn't care enough to pay these people out, and therefore they don't care further than allowing stuff to be found. These are working fields.
It's amazing what they were able to gleam out of that field in only 3 days. What an incredible group of people. If I was the land owner I would set up that field as an excavation site for universities so the whole thing could be explored properly and more information could be gathered.
That's sooo cute! It is probable the landowner is not a farmer hobbyist. More likely he uses the field to feed his family.
thats a wonderful idea as long as the farmer gets paid lost wages by the researchers. hopefully those in close proximity to the farm dont depend on the harvest.
And one wonders why the kids are coming out of liberal universities with screwy ideas. Farmers need land to provide food.
@@williamekasala2861 this is what happens when humans dont have to hunt and gather to survive winter in primitive dwellings. too advanced too fast.
@@williamekasala2861 And one wonders how small you think that farms are nowadays when you believe that the loss of an acre would mean an existential threat to a farmer. Just to put your nagging into relation: The average farm size in the UK is 213 acres.
Geez I love Time Team. I seriously believe it should return to television screens in some form or another.
I love what is happening with Time Team recently and really hope they succeed in bringing the show back. Maybe with a more international scope this time?
Why? There’s plenty of history in Britain to get to the bottom of.

Finds of warrior women are always so interesting! I wonder if anyone has done any more research on this one, and if so, if that research is available anywhere. I'd love to know more about her, like her age of death, if she had any injuries, what she died of, what sort of diet she had...
No evidence she (if it was a she) was a warrior, none.
Haven't watched the full video yet, there is usually a university associated with this type of finds. Check with that institution's anthropology department. They would be the ones to describe the find.
There aren't any records. That's why they are called the Dark Ages.
Like anything in these situations, it's all complete guesswork based on very vague clues. For all we know it wasn't even a woman at all. Archeology is far from being able to actually tell us any factual history aside from "well, maybe this happened, I don't know".
@@darkdiddler1439
DNA analysis can say if the skeletal remains are missing the pelvis, which is distinctly different between males and females.
Also there are clues in the musculature attachments, the skull.
In many mundane activities, what happened in the past are very similar to what happens today or in recorded history.
A grinding stone is similar in shape and wear between the British Isles and Central America.
“Oh I was watchin’ the Red Arrows HA HA HA HA” lol
Why only 3 days to dig? Why not pay the farmer for a years worth of crops to have more time to dig?
It's TV, and they only have the budget for so many days that need to be used for X number of episodes.
They all had day jobs and started out only doing it over long weekends. The show was always intended on being limited to 3 days.
@@joshw9037 From Lil Giant Archeologists get paid very poorly-and sometimes they work without any pay. They’d have to find something important for anyone to finance a dig, and then the archaeologists would still get paid little or nothing. At least that is how it was explained to me when I was planning to become one. LOL
I would love being out with the M8's at time line helping out.
GREAT VIDEO GENTLEMAN. THANKS.......
Fascinating how all the intellectual professionals can put this amazing site together for all to see.
I can't imagine how it would feel to know my land contained such history.
I have land in west Tennessee hardeman county city of bolivar and found out there was a union post on my land beside the house. You can still see the rifle pits and make out exactly what their defenses had looked like, there is a grave yard as well, what I’ve read leads me to believe it’s an African American grave yard once the Union was having them fight etc I only know a little as I’ve just discovered this but there is a noticeable about of metal under the ground in a grave like layout from what my cheapish metal detector had told me! I don’t plan to dig them up or have anyone do so
Right. All we have to worry about are native burial ground ghosts.
@Hoghs “i’Ll BiTe”
I guarantee ur land does , just do some research
Farmers and others when they find something usually cover it up quickly.
If anyone is curious, Time Team have their own RUclips channel and actually have a Patreon to revive the show.
This is true.. I am a Patreon subscriber to Time Team.
Thank you
Time Team dissolved because people weren't too thrilled with the new "glam" presenters. The show became more about Mary Ann's cleavage jiggling around in sports cars with billionaires than scientific exploration. Once Mick passed away, things seem to disintegrate. Bear in mind most of the cast has gone on with their various careers, and even our dear Uncle Phil is 71. And we''ve regretfully lost some of our favorites.
The producers would have to find another congenial group of experts with charisma, and stop telling the females to unbutton their blouses.
Love this show!!!!! FUN & EDUCATIONAL!!!! Imagine that!!!
In the blink of a eye finding items bringing people back to live that many thousands of years ago.Timeline is very informative .
History. It's what you're standing on. It's wise to learn from it, IMHO.

I love the humor and the intellectual honesty, they don't assert their guesses as fact.

Hi there. I am Polish and watch TL since 2007. I just love it and kind of addicted to. Big fan of Phil and Tony . They always put a smile on my face.
It's sad that they have to do this cut-and-run architecture. There must be so many things in that field, you would hope there was the money and time for them to stay longer and really get an understanding of the area and pull out all the artifacts they could.
I enjoy the digs where Burial remains are discovered, due to they can still tell you so much of their life
Living here in California and all sun ☀️ but very hot right now and I’m feeling dizzy, and can’t move from the heat. Lol I need to drink more water. No beer here 😀😀😀. I enjoyed watching this and the history.
Loved it! Extremely interesting. I'm wondering if the drinking vessel held by the one skeleton could have been a sign that that man was the maker of "beer" rather than just a drunkard. Also, wondering why, in the beginning of the 1st day's activities, they sent folks to do a walk-over of the area, but NOT equip any of them w/ metal detectors to more definitively identify potential finds of metal items. And then, they just started digging a trench based on a pretty vague location by the original finder. Just seems like they wanted to start digging and the where didn't matter quite so much... Although, maybe I missed something re. those decisions.
My concern with the show, evidently I do not know a lot about it, is this three day deal. To me it seems like more of a marketing tool to produce the show. I wouldn’t be surprised if once the cameras stopped rolling they went back and did a proper archaeological dig.
The three day dig is the filmed part. The weeks or months in advance were spent looking at lidar, historical records, photography, and other research to prepare. You don't just go digging
I've always wanted to know the history of my husband's Anglo-Saxons . When he pasted on his death papers stated Anglo-Saxon. I'd love to take my children to visit the country he came from.
Oh my goodness. What a fabulous dig.
Thank you for the sum of grey matter, knowledge, enthusiasm, joy in researching and concise motivation. Warm regards to each and all and happy new year!
Much can be learned from these early cemeteries, but it is sad when the remains are disturbed. Hope that they were reburied...
This is so entertaining, knowledgeable and funny I love it more of this please. 😊👌👍
It took me a minute, but thats BALDRICK!!!
Great narration. thank you!
Love the passion, as always! Awesome finds.
A six-foot female warrior? 😳

She was only 5'7 her bones were spread out over time. She did have a knife and a shield though.
Its very satisfying when they find something on their dig. I hope the make their dig a bit longer.
I'm saving this for a post study hour treat. Cant recall if Ive seen it before. Hope not.
Funny thing about the bone-lady's discourse, according to QI, which I tend to consider a solid source, the overbite she talks about is a modern trait and if memory serves it is the result of modern cutlery. Front teeth that meet should have been very common back in Anglo-Saxon days.
I wanted to be an archeologist as a kid, I can hyper focus and love digging in dirt. lol
Fabulous find.
Another great story with awesome scenery. Thanks for sharing..I always enjoy your tales!🇦🇺
5:45 This guy is so funny 😂 " Meanwhile the digger is looking for bones"
I don't think the man with the jug was a drunk ,I think he was a brewer .
Maybe he was both? Lol
@@JBond-zf4dj Hey ya I never thought about that .You could say It was quality control ?
@@loganjohnson3589 exactly! I mean, I'D certainly be taste testing my product. 🤷
but thats not nearly as fun.
Good point!
facinating work! Thanks for sharing, good luck on exploration
My grandfather grew up in early 1900 Indiana USA on a 80 acre farm. He plowed with a horse on foot and often found Indian artifacts from arrow heads to stone ax heads and deer skinners.
That archeologist woman just dissed Tony for having small shoulders that can't accommodate the substantial 'broach'. lol savage.

Helen Geake, please.
Did you know that the ancient Armenian language had the word "hundj" which meant "a bunch" "a group". Actually we in Armenia have another multimillennial megalithic monument, consisting of large stones oriented precisely to specific stars and constellations, also East, West, North and South and it called Karahundj which is literally the same as Stonehenge Kar-stone, Hundj-group. It is around 7500years old, so basically having monuments with literally the same name suggests the possibility of relations between ancient Armenians and Celts.
