      Actually, I have now started in archaeology at uni and gotten into a trench. Much because I have always wanted to. This is a hard work but very rewarding. What they are doing in the trenches is very real, I attribute it to watching Time Team all over again that I finally did it and just went for it. Im 55 and had an office and driving career before besides being educated as a prescool teacher. Im bloody happy with myself now.

    Got hooked on this amazing series during COVID lockdown and have thoroughly loved every episode! After a while it's so very easy to feel that I somehow "know" these fine, talented people (even though of course I don't which is a sadness all its own). Makes me wish to return to a place I've never been. I'd love to have been able to share an after-dig "recap and unwind" bender with the lot of them.

    I like it how the snobs refuse to have their cultivated lawns dug up and instead direct them to a swampy load of sludge. Quite funny, actually, and the way Tony says to Phll: 'But you do realize it's near the end of day one and we still haven't found our shipyard.' 'Yes, that's true' or something like it. I like the clunky getting to work backgound music. I must have watched a near on backlog of twenty years of episodes in a matter of weeks! Oh, and the hosepipe scene. Very funny!

    The North river, between Boston and Plymouth USA, was once a major sailing ship center. When I drove down there to scout out fishing sites, it looked just wide enough to turn around a rowboat. It looked like I could wade across without getting my belt wet. I just couldn't picture big sailing ships there, even knowing that it was done. And that's only since the 19th century.

    28:40 Carenza's trench is more likely a refit and repair dock, not a breaker yard. Probably used to repair battle damage, replace rotted planks, and such. Highly unlikely to be a breaker yard because they'd be farther away from the building yards. Repair docks would be closer to the smithys and woodworking shops.

    There is a possibility that the "delft field" may have been built up in order to be a dry staging or work area for the building of the ship "Jesus".

      Have you never heard of forge welding,? A technique that's nearly as old as the iron age itself; I do it as a hobby.

      Look at a Damascus barrelled shotgun, or indeed, any gun made in the Victorian era and earlier. These are, of course the highest examples. Each piece of barrel length (about 4") was made of bundles of square steel wire and forged around a mandrel then the pieces were forge welded together to make up the full barrel length. Damascening itself is an example of forge welding too.
      Just about anything that, today we'd weld by arc or gas was forge welded., it's just a matter of the right heat (straw colour) and then pounding it so that the metal literally flows together. Hard work but satisfying. You might want to look on YT, I think there is a video of a bloke making a pistol barrel, though not Damascus. I've got a W. H. Watson 12 bore made for my grandad in 1884, it's got the most gorgeous Damascus barrels and I still use it; although originally proofed for black powder only, my dad had it nitro proofed in 1970. Strong evidence that Damascus and forge welding is not only pretty but strong.

      I'll take some pictures. Most of my work is rather crude; for instance just joining wrought iron gate parts without rivets and barrel hoops for wooden buckets, iron tyres etc, though I did make a copy of a Saxon sword which took me nearly a month. email me at:thelimey 39@gmail.com
      You must be a real artist and craftsman and I envy you. The only real casting I've done was a quarter scale cast iron 9 pounder cannon and for that had to use a friend's home foundry and green sand mould though I made a rather nice wood pattern, if I say so myself.
      What ancient weapons do you use? I might want to make some.
      Enjoy your day and continue with your arts and crafts. Perhaps you might invest in an anvil and tools, iron and steel are very easy to work with and bloody good exercise.

      I'm a retired old fart so have the time to mess around and make things. Very satisfying as you obviously know. I'd love to expand my skills and hope you can help me. I might be able to help you with smithing in exchange.

    hmm,money spent ? maybe only in the records...we do that in America...a local woman embezzled 53 million for a small town and nobody noticed until she went on holiday and a sub found out...she got some 53 million dollars U.S.

      @FESERFACE over your feser to begin with. You wouldn't stand a chance with a wart infested crone with poor eyesight. Your face being festered and plauged as it is. Why the put down of these archaeologists?

    Tony and his running about 😜 in every episode is just too much sometimes. I guess the producers think its important for him to keep doing that to keep up the attention of the audience?

    River surveys, like what they did in the first 10 minutes or so of this program, always make me a bit sad for the "Old River" that was tamed. It always seems brutal to the landscape.
