Another great episode
I love the look of this video!!!! Excellent work everyone!
I love TH-cam--all the wonderful paleontology, geology, archaeology...and Dr. Dilley and how to make gorgeous tools and why they were made and when and where...Absolutely mesmerizing!!!
And Kilmartin Glen--WOW! What a beautiful, beautiful place! So peaceful and green.
Well done, thank you.
🙃
such a high-quality content! Thank you very much!
Thank you for another great video. The cameraman work it highly appreciated.
2:39 It would help a lot if you were showing illustrations of flat axe, developed flat axe and flanged one - it is difficult for an uneducated person to understand the difference.
the idea that seeing patina on native copper may move people to look out for rocks of a similar color is exactly the sort if idea that fascinates me, thank you! all “ancient knowledge” is rooted in human experiences thay could happen today as easily as they did millions or thousands of years ago…
I was waiting for this for so long.
🙂
Me too
Super vidéo🤙🤙
Beautiful gents! Very well maneuvered! I've always wanted to smelt my own copper axe. But fire is a very scarce thing where I live.
Outstanding content. Thank you!
Fantastic video ! Im hoping to get over to your 2 day axe course the whole process is fascinating 🤟
This is a beautiful video on a fascinating subject ! My connection to the study of prehistory is through fiber crafts, but I love to learn about the facets of prehistoric life, and tool making is just so interesting to me. Thank you for these videos !
Cool stuff!
Did the bell beakers who arrived in Britain come with the knowledge of alloying bronze? Or did they learn alloying copper independently? Just that by 2400BC the near East had a huge history of bronze already by this point and the bell beakers came with gold like the amesbury archer. so were the bell beakers simply making do with copper? Using the Irish copper mines until they found Cornish tin? Or did they just not know what to do with it?
@@eh1702 I don't think it's possible for copper to have been more valuable as gold. Copper occurs too regularly in it's native solid form compared to gold. The effort to collect so many tiny nuggets and flakes of gold and melt them into something small would always more more time and labour consuming in gathering compared to copper in it's native solid form. Copper on its own is still very malleable. The tools will bend if abused and edges need retouching regularly to keep them sharp.
@@eh1702 That's it though. The near East and Egypt were already using bronze by the bell beaker period. The Bell beakers knew and worked different metals so presumably knew something of alloying.
7:55 That's some gneiss schist you got there.
Fantastic. What is the book you have there a 7.00 mins in? I'm guessing out of print but keen to track down a copy.
😎 video but you need louder audio especially in the field 😉
i have potato hearing and a potato sound system, is fine for me? maybe its because im so fond of potatoes?
Is it likely that bronze was invented because they were mixing copper with all sorts of other materials and just happened on very rare tin?
