Greetings from Florida in the USA. I’ve been following this series “Digging Britain” for quite awhile now, and this episode is one of the most fascinating that I’ve seen! 👍 & Subscribed
I'm in Tennessee and love the archeology Britain has! Super jealous but Dr. Alice Roberts is amazing. I know she's much older than me but she's a very beautiful and intelligent woman. I enjoy her voice most of all, calming yet builds the stories up in a way no other can, other than Sir Tony lol.
i love this program . im loving the enthusiasm that the presenter has too. it really encourages you to take notice of the history that is all around us here in our beloved UK.
Ive heard Native American elders refer to rocks as "the bones of our ancestors," which I always found quite poetic, and in terms of the Earth's elegantly efficient natural systems of recycling, rather accurate. Love this show. Alice Roberts is the bomb. )
Funny, you're spot on with the diet I'm thinking. I went meat based diet 5 years ago. Turned my teeth right around. My dentist was puzzled how my teeth are getting better and better. She said she has never seen it before, a jaw getting stronger and more dense. I'm 60 and once thought dentures were in the near future, now I'm planning on keeping my teeth another 60.
I love that acoustic guitar theme. You can hear it at 1:30. It always makes me feel like I'm going on an adventure in the year 2010. There's something cozy and comforting about it.
I live approx 20 miles south of Hadrian's Wall in a little town called Alston. There's the remains of a Roman fort on the outskirts of the town called Epiacum, which has hardly been excavated. There's so much history around this location, such as a stone circle called ' Long Meg and her daughters', I find history so fascinating
Knowing civilizations through archeology is a way to answer many questions: how did they live, what did they think about, what did they eat, what was their culture and customs?😊
A theory regarding cave art- The colors represented the seasons The drawings, what they do during said seasons. So for example a black fire would mean that those people live in the cave during the winter where as a red deer meaning during the fall, they are out hunting. Consider it like an ancient answering machine "sorry we're out, if it's summer we're on the water, if it's the fall..." Etc.
Could the villa with the 97 babies have been a maternity hospital type location where mothers went to give birth and then recover? Was there such a thing as a midwife or doctor specialising in births (and possibly disposing of sickly or unwanted babies)? Whatever happened at that villa it's incredibly sad that so many full term or close to full term babies died. I can't help but imagine how those deaths were seen by parents, family and society... Were the people around them sad, grieving the loss of precious lives or were they giving their babies to gods to try to ensure that they had a harvest free from disaster? To me a baby is a miracle, someone to be treasured and protected. I can't imagine the heart wrenching feeling of giving birth one day and holding the baby only to then have it die/be killed... I'm just a big softy when it comes to kids. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot
I figured even back then a brothel would have some herbs to end a pregnancy earlier than waiting til birth. I also thought it could have been a hospital type place.
Do those two Roman coin experts at 37:47 not look just alike? If not so much as just alike then absolutely they look like full brothers. I was convinced that when the 2nd gentleman was shown and his name and title was shown below him talking it would be the same as the first mans last name but nope. Also I found it interesting that the construction crew building that new road bed in Kent where digging down so far into the chalk to build the road on. It looks like it will naturally be hard to drain when a heavy rain or after days of wet weather. I mean it is Britain for goodness sake and it might be southern Britain and not some even more rainy place but it’s still a place where the locals joke about the rainy dreary weather often. I see that you could pitch the pavement from a high point in the center to drainage to the right and left but idk it just seems there’s a better option. What do I know about roadway construction.
While I agree that Caitlin started the draw of viewers. It is not her alone. The Fever TEAM have all brought the fans. This team would not be where they are without all of them.
Sorry I don't remember the metal detectors name but I hope you got credit or reward something that should be extra rewarding for calling in archaeologists right away and him not digging it up.
Regarding the infant bones (too young to be gendered), could it be that they might be females, as with some current cultures, a male is preferred for familial financial benefits? Or maybe that the “common soldiery” (thank you ‘Life of Brian’) required replenishing with males?
Britain was the breadbasket of the Roman Empire? Where in the world did they get that nonsense? North Africa, and then Egypt supplied a majority of Rome's grain supply. Iberia contributed a good deal later. But cool, rainy Britain? Think about it.

I'm fascinated by archeology. I'm not sure what I'll study but archeology is a definite contender.

@@invertevision4757she has a nice smile. But that's about it imo...
@@dabreal82 curious what compelled you to say this. no one asked. no one cares. all you've done is show that you view women as objects.
Well I live in Wiltshire manticore near stonehenge and would gladly do a holiday house swap with you in florida😂

She was on the series Time team years ago,nice to see she is still going strong.
What a great way to start the weekend and erase the frustration of the week! Thanks for posting!
Archaeology looks like hard work!! They must really love what they’re doing

Impressive work..just fascinating the voice of our ancestral legacy..
I love any type of archeology . Thank you so much for this series !

I think Alfred Cox should get an honorary title of archaeologist!!!

Could the coin horde in the large pot be the equivalent of a wishing well. The tradition must have started somewhere
No. It's just a piggy bank...
Coins need to be kept in something. That is all.
I love it 😁
A theory regarding cave art-
The colors represented the seasons
The drawings, what they do during said seasons.
So for example a black fire would mean that those people live in the cave during the winter where as a red deer meaning during the fall, they are out hunting.
Consider it like an ancient answering machine "sorry we're out, if it's summer we're on the water, if it's the fall..."
Etc.
Highly unlikely. They never had that large pallet of colours.

Amazing 😳
I hope it's been possible to test DNA to follow people groups from this time period , very interesting
See the programme on ‘The Amesbury Archer’ (Digging for Britain?). They did exactly that and the results were a surprise and truly fascinating.
Alice Roberts is so beautiful, I can't concentrate on the content of the clip. 🤣🤣
Love her necklace
Laid up bad back at present thank u this helps interesting
I love these kind of videos!!! Can anyone tell me which song is playing at 1:10:40?
Alice spoke of the volunteers coming from all over the country to dig and I'm curious as to where they stay while they work?

Because Cox found so many infant burials my best judgment would say there was a brothel there.
Dang it you guys are way overthinking you're too smart Alfred Cox dig site was a brothel not a Villa!!!! Yes 18:02 I agree!!!

Cattle are strong -
So a cattle skill must make the wall strong too.
Regarding the infant bones (too young to be gendered), could it be that they might be females, as with some current cultures, a male is preferred for familial financial benefits? Or maybe that the “common soldiery” (thank you ‘Life of Brian’) required replenishing with males?

Love the content, but way too many ads to get a like.
"Romeo and Juliet" isn't a love story, it's a murder-sui***e with a body count of six. Oh, and Juliet was 13 years-old, Romeo was about 16.
Blockbuster?
Right!?! There's the modern day archelogy right there!
WELL OF COURSE FORTS WERE THERE BEFORE THE WALL" YOU DONT BUILD A GIANT WALL BEFORE YOU BUILD SOME WHERE TO LIVE YA SILLY BILLY " ALICE.

Why are our "journalists" so pretentious...
Yes it is amazing but thay just don't won't to bee fawnd
Sacrifice rituals ?
What a load of bollocks about the coins being buried for some sort of religious ceremony.
Thank you Sherlock!
