  • The team arrive in a large square field about 20 miles from Colchester. This is an area typically rich in Roman activity. Several remains have previously been dug up, including coins, an elaborate key, and Samian ware. Adrian Thorpe, the farmer, wants to know more. The indications are of a settlement with high status buildings, maybe timber-framed. With recycled fragments of genuine Roman glass, fired up in a homemade furnace, glassblower Ed Iglehart creates an authentic conical beaker. Among hundreds of finds is a metal owl brooch.

    Doing a bit of my own technological archeology, I'd say this was filmed sometime in the early to mid 1990's. The extensive use of pre-windows DOS based Autocad in which the final version to support DOS was in 1994, 3.5" floppy disks, optical pen based digitizing tablet, general clothing fashions and quality of the video artifacts all support this hypothesis.

    • @bullettube9863
      @bullettube9863 3 года назад

      They were there, you just have to look. In some episodes cows and chickens help dig along with various dogs. Farmers mow the grass for them, or harvest the area where they are to dig, and in many episodes including this one you meet the farmer who owns the field.

    I'm fascinated by archaeology, but also amused by how this show progresses. The diggers look at faint blobs and tiny shards of flint, using phrases like "that suggests that..." and "this might be..." but by the end of the program we hear a bazillion "absolutelys."

    When you talk about Rome being in Britain for 300+ years, North America was colonized / invaded only about 450 years ago and The United States is less than 300 years old. So things surely changed so much in that time.
