Edmund Artis came up a few times on the show, and what I can tell, he was actually a pretty darn good archeologist, especially for his day.
My grandparents lived in Hamsterley for a time. One popular theory at one point was that the "castle" was the remnant of a border Peel/Pele tower which was never completed.
I wonder how many local barns and cottages are made of this conveniently quarried stone? Would love to go for a little walk around and look for familiar stones?
Usually quite a few. In Egypt for example, one can find stones stolen from older monuments to build newer ones. Even rulers stamping their names over older rulers. In Rome there was similar theft of stone from various structures including the colosseum.
Love the classics.
Whenever I see interesting sites like this, I feel sad for all the past we may never find.
Thanks.
Lucky we have learnt,past people didnt think like us,but yes,what will future peopke think of us?????

One day, someone will say the same about time team.
no they won't because they applied scientific measures to accurately record what they find, antiquarians were basically treasure hunters who only cared about finds
This was exactly what I was going to say. Phil's said himself on many occasions "all archaeology is destruction" and at some point we're going to have geo-phys tech good enough that we'll never need to dig again. At that point many an archaeologist will likely wish that the diggers of today had just left things be.
And they would be pleased to know their work was worth a second look! At least they would know their work was as up to date as it could have been!
Geophysics is great, but it’s never going to replace digging entirely. What it can’t do is establish phasing, chronology, or dating on a site, especially when you have multiple phases of use, or are dealing with archeology that just doesn’t leave much in terms of physical, in ground evidence (ie post holes and stains in the ground type stuff)
Like to use a Roman villa example, they were often occupied over long periods of time, and were modified, added onto, or remodeled over that period. So while Geophysics can establish wall lines, it can’t tell you the phasing, or the how of how a site changed over time.
The expert said that the steps weren’t rounded but they are rounded on the corners. I was like are they both blind it is right in front of them.
Steps rounded by wear and tear are more noticeably smooth and rounded. Its mindblowing how much even short term foot traffic and wear down stone.
Hamsterley, not far from Gerbilshire.

41:20 well not maize....
is it a hamster cage?
Nearly 20 years on and the caves don’t appear to have been swallowed up by rising sea levels.
don't seem to see any sea closeby?
20 whole years
Posted a link to their site. Says nothing about rising sea levels but coastal erosion. Kind of funny that hundred year old or more pictures of coastal sites shows little to no rise in sea levels anywhere that I’ve seen. Any one know of any that do?
@@AnnaAnna-uc2ff 20 years is a long time considering we’re experiencing ‘Global Boiling’ and in the midst of a Climate Apocalypse which will destroy the earth within 10 years. Or may be it’s just some mad bad global elites looking to make a fortune from greenwashing and enslave us all in caves with nothing more than lab grown gruel and bugs to eat whilst they sail around the world in their private yachts or fly around the world in their private jets washing down Wagyu steaks and caviar with champagne.
Well, you could Google the effect of the coasts eroding. It exposes fossils (paleontology) and destroys archeology. It's going to take more than 20 years to drown these caves, but it's happening... and happening much faster than natural cycles, all due to human activity. Science!!
22:22 The ice sheets started to melt, the weight was reduced, and the land started to rise up out of the water... Can someone explain the science behind this heretofore undiscovered phenomenon, please? Citations from reputable sources are required.
I think you’re referring to isostatic rebound.
@@WorldWokeApeCult Awesome, thanks. Always good to learn something. I found a couple of relatively reputable sources.
Archeologist or grave robber? Oh wait, I forgot...one in the same.
If so, it may be that the '3' mashups of different episodes made them less interesting and distinctive.
The Sloothlake Antiquarian society is proud to announce to latest addition to our collection. Pharaoh Smutethmus XIVI's perfectly preserved mummy! Stay for drinks, and a special after-dark event where we grind King Smut into powder and eat him!
Remember next week is our annual Sing-a-song and Minstrel show so bring your vials of King Smut to paint your faces in that sweet sweet Mumia. It's good clean fun! :D
In all seriousness? Victorians were filthy barbarians. Utterly irredeemable. That entire generation(s) should have been quarantined and scrubbed from existence with predjustice. Granted, then we wouldn't be alive, but, look at the world today and say that's such a tragedy.
The eons of history destroyed by those primped up tea sipping heathens.
Showing your own ignorance, preaching wiping out a people over their archeology methods. Different times, different people. What will others think of you?
@@scrubsrc4084 Calm down :)
What is the difference between a past antiquarian and modern archeologist? Just third hand acquired knowledge and modern tools. It is wrong to deprecate people that did what they could with the knowledge that they had.
Extensive taking of notes and other documentation. Did they carefully excavate a site and fussed over ancient trash, or just bulldozed everything looking for gold/silver treasure? Were they focused on knowledge or profiteering? Granted the line can be blurry, especially with people working for the British museum.
Bridge has a weird accent.
One day the satellites won’t b up there anymore and people will say. How the hell did they come with this crap map. Haha. Time will tell
WAITAMINUTE, is that @simonroper9218 at 51:19? Sure sounds like it!
Why don't they know how to build sea walls in england
