The Forgotten Roots of Landscape Archaeology | Early Field Archaeology

- In this video, I discuss early versions of Landscape Archaeology that made the transition from a focus on monuments to an exploration of rural life through the evidence of field systems, canals and holloways, largely facilitated by the advent of aerial photography.

This is actually very well done. I studied archaeology at university so most of this is familiar to me but you've done a great job packing lots of valuable tidbits of info into such a short video. Deserves many more views than the current 700.
Wow, thank you very much for the very kind feedback!
I enjoyed this introduction to early field archaeology. It gave an insightful overview of historical studies and made good use of figures and photographs, as well as providing credits. Thank you for posting, it has piqued my interest in this subject.
Many thanks!
Beautiful work big man 🙏👍💪
Glad to see you do this. Here is some advice from a pro: your intro music is at an 8, your interview audio is at a 2, and tour voice over is at a 5. You want to shoot for all 7s.
Also, try to white balance your camera. Take the contrast down, or, if you're shooting on a real camera, drop your ISO to around 400. If you appear too dark through the camera, add lights to the scene, don't raise the settings. What we see is not what you see.
Get a lav mic to wear when interviewing. Connect it either directly to the camera or to a mixer if that is what you're using. As far as the audio monitoring, don't let the audio "clip" or redline. Shoot for that seven.
I look forward to the next one. I would like to see at least one a week.
Talk soon!
Thanks for the tips. I have acquired a lapel mic and will try to use that in future. I have struggled with both lighting and background noise when making these.
Great job 👏 ❤
Thank you!
Another great video thanks
Many thanks for your feedback!
I've taken two online landscape archaeology courses at Futurelearn and read several (rather dry) textbooks, but until you explained it, did not know exactly how the ridge and furrow marks were made, nor about looking for spoils as evidence of canals. You really have a gift for explaining things clearly without jargon and making it interesting. Just one question: What is a tell? Many thanks, Ani in the U.K.
Many thanks. And apologies for not defining "tell". It's a loan word from the Arabic for "mound" or "hill" but usually refers to the man-made hills that result from repeated occupation by people who build their houses from mud or mud brick.
amazing 🎉
Thanks!
