Ian was a master machine operator that worked for Phil and many other people at Wessex archaeology. He could and did on camera unscrew a bottle cap with his machine. The guy was also known to spot things even before Phil due to being higher off the ground. He was no man's assistant. May he rest in peace.

Not really sure why Stewart thought it a good idea to scream at the top of his lungs directly into the radio to fire the cannon? He didn’t need to scream at all considering he was ten feet away from the guy firing it lmao… If anything he should have warned anyone not standing there through the walkie but it was a blank anyway lol. Weird he seriously gave it everything he had in his screeching.

That little piece of flint does not have to be neolithic at all. It can just as well have come off an 18th century flintlock pistol...it is shaped exactly for that purpose..... also the earthenwork mound or ramp does not have to be a defensive build at all. Often these ramps were built for the purpose of siege attack. It is an old method used since the greeks and romans did....... Everything they have concluded can be interpreted in a completely different manner. Form your own opinions..... The tiny arrow shaped flint found between neolithic pottery will be neolithic and one would expect a structure like this to be built on earlier foundation especially on a location so well suited for defensive purposes.
I have the answer to all these questions: because it's what people expect. Patients walk into a doctor's office wanting a diagnosis and a cure in the form of highly touted pills put forth by the pharmaceutical companies who spend trillions of dollars making sure we take their drugs for the rest of our lives. I'm also a CCRN and I've seen stuff done by the medical industry that has literally taken someone who was only moderately ill with a problem that would be easily treated with a vacation and some decent sleep and kill them with medical treatment.
Effective at killing what was hit sure but good freaking luck hitting what you aim at regularly. even muskets made in the 1800s at the end of muskets weren't reliably aimable at that range.
@@vrisbrianm4720don't assume someone that knows the entire history of muskets doesn't understand battle formations from multiple centuries too. It's rude.

Other than to TRY to be more exciting, why do they always only have 3 days? They aren't even done digging till the last hour. 1: What if they've started finding something, they just going to stop and leave? 2: Are they going to just leave it all uncovered? They're out of time!!!1
QBecause everyone involved in the team had weekday nine to five jobs, because these dogs are actually really expensive, and yes to add drama. The digs had pre episode scouting and preparation as well as post dig documentation and reset. It varied by site but was mostly just filling the holes back up. The reports of record as required by law were filed by and are available from Wessex archaeology. Which is where Matt and Phil work to this day coincidentally.

Wow!!! Once again the peasants become cannon fodder. Shame it must have been a really terrible place to live. It reminds me of how the local folk suffered in The Battle of The Somme in France. What can we commoners do? I can just say thank God I was not there.
Britain had the largest colonial empire in history, abused its territorial subjects, and was basically history's villain until a century ago and they're STILL more popular than France. What does that tell you about the French?
Make it simple, which sunset empire do you think Germany likes better, La France or the United Kingdom. That should be an unbiased opinion. Or so biased it’s unbiased.

Very solid..
Phil acting absolutely despondent at the Shelly mortar bit had me in stitches…at that moment I’m sure all he wants is a cosy pub and a pint 😂😂

Crushed shell was used in the 13th century. While shells started being used about a century lstrr. It's as verifiable as a fingerprint
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stone the crows
And mortars with shells in them are possibly 1940s German

Thank you for uploading my favourite TV programme!
I'd sure like to sit and have a few beers with Phil. I'll even make the beer to drink.

He's a funny guy who loves his beer. But what a great archeologist 😀
He maintains an office at Wessex archaeology and there's even a life sized statue of him hoisting a pint at the entrance to the Salisbury museum.

Oh, GeoPhys. Most of the time you struggle to find a wall, and here you have giant walls, so you look for ditches.
Kind of ironic
"I'm losing the will to live"
Same TBH
This video is great! I love castles.
the whole series is just terrific
17:40"It looks like it is a corner of a round tower". My question is, did round towers have corners and why if they were round?
I think it’s a metric thing. Must have been a metric round tower
why did you highlight this? I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.
duckworth burela because large sections of the round tower have fallen away, leaving cross-sections of tower that have corners. Imagine eating a pizza and the corners that exposes.
Round towers were built on square foundations. Function of physics of stone.
From a vertical view, A flat wall, intersecting with the bulbous D shape of said tower would roughly make a 90 degree corner.

No corners on round towers
Yes there are, if a substantial part of the original tower is missing, exposing the edge of the walls. A broken plate has corners.
Also since arches don't work horizontally stacked the bases were always square to spread load outward and do so evenly
😂 I love Phil.
38:32 nope, he should read again on musket effective range.
Stewart was standing at about a 100 metres away from the castle. Early musket was effective up to that range.
Effective at killing what was hit sure but good freaking luck hitting what you aim at regularly. even muskets made in the 1800s at the end of muskets weren't reliably aimable at that range.
@@joshschneider9766 Battle formations were a lot tighter back then, which increased the hit probabilities of the muskets if they were fired by ranks.
