Monuments to the Dead with Phil Harding - Lockdown Lectures

- In a special lecture for the Council for British Archaeology's Festival of Archaeology, Phil Harding reflects on the excavation of the site of Bulford Camp in Wiltshire. From the earliest times, mankind has felt the need to mark and memorialise significant places, and Bulford is no exception. In this lecture, Phil recounts the different eras uncovered during excavation of the site, from early burials, to ring ditches, to pits with sophisticated grave goods. From there, he traces a connection from the Neolithic to the Napoleonic through his work on the battlefield of Waterloo.

Phil Harding ! A British National Treasure!
to true!
Love archeology..the eternal return,always learning about our ancestors..thanks
I was researching Phil on the internet, and stumbled upon these video's ! So happy to see him again. We watched Time Team in the Netherlands, and because of Phil and the rest of the team, I know more about the history of the UK than I do of my own country. Now we are living in Brittany France, and being surrounded by Neolithical monuments, I often think back to Time Team. We decided to watch them again on You Tube, and it is still so interesting and fun ! We need much more programs like that on the TV ! Time team, House detectives etc. Now I have some new interesting stuff to see on You Tube. Thank you Phil Harding !!!!!
Thank you Phil Harding. I will never be in a trench finding scrapers thousands of years old, or finding buttons at Waterloo. But listening to you tell us about it is surely the next best thing
Neither will this Canadian ever get to dig ancient remains or find on the ground, but often the "lumps and bumps" and mountains all around BC Canada make me smile to reflect on what Brit's consider hills & mountains! archeology here would be First Nations ancient villages pre-Colonial remains, and currently exposed Church hidden & unmarked graves of Indigenous children without parents oversight, awareness or legal rights to stop;!
Hundreds, thousands of Hidden graveyards where it begs White peoples to support the digging up of babies, children violently stolen by Britian's genocide driven Colonialism
I went to Stonehenge in the late 60's and was struck by the feeling of permanence, and a feeling of the antiquity that was all around me, its a magical place that I have never forgotten. I have never been to Waterloo but have a medal that was made honouring the 200 year anniversary, I treasure it. Phil Harding is a wonderful speaker, he speaks with such passionate enthusiasm about archeology that makes me feel excited too, though I have loved archeology and history since I was in primary school in the late 50's. Sadly I was not able to see my dream of being an archaeologist as I was needed at home but I still love it and Phil brings it alive to me, bless him.
I could listen to Phil talk all day. I really love his accent.
Just wanted to let you know how much you are appreciated , and many thanks for all your years on Time Team, and for sharing all your digs, and knowledge of them as well, as the history that is attached to each dig and trench.
Dear Dr. Harding, you are awesome
Phil is such lovely dude
Ever since the early days of TimeTeam.
Oh how i miss that show
Me too. Though it went seriously downhill at the end with the new producers that wanted to make it more 'accessible" by replacing Mick Aston with some bimbo photomodel and the digging became some side activity for a 'how did they do this?' type of show.
Time Team died with Mick. One of the most inspiring archaeologists ever... He did so much for the field. Miss him every day.
Egads! Phil with a new hat.. I never saw such a sight before... I really like this guy...
Always a great day when we get a new video with Phil!
Thanks Phil your passion is the reason why I’ve come to be so engrossed with British history. Keep up the good work mate. 👍🏻🇦🇺
I found Time Team on TH-cam in America and love watching it phil makes it fun and interesting hope to see you again.
We need more Phil in our lives!
Criss { Lastname } Never enough Phil!
Phil, you make it sound so appealing, I just want tp take the first flight out of Fort Lauderdale to Waterloo!!! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm...it's contagious...always has been!!!
What a great communicator! I always enjoy listening to Phil. I look forward to hearing him talk about the latest finds at Stonehenge.
Legend in his own life time 👍🏴
Thank you Dr harding for all the great memories from time Team and now this it made me smile when I found this.
Thank you Phil.
Very interesting.
Michigan USA
Just watched the clip of phil's on waterloo what a legend. Really miss the time team progs am an avid history and archeology fan in NZ. Love yr sense of humour Phil.!! Marie.
thanks for this....more phil harding lectures please...could listen to this stuff for hours [and will :P] :)
TT fan in the USA since the 90's. I know Phil is up in years now but I would love to see someone in the UK give him a TT style archaeology tv show of his own to lead and host!
I would love to take a year of from work, just for the opportunity to be Phill Harding's apprentice. He has an amazing wealth of wisdom.
Wessex archaeology takes volunteers. As does digventures. Google their websites and email them you may be surprised
@@joshschneider9766 unfortunately I don't live in the UK.
The LEGEND is still fascinating to listen to
Protect Phil Harding at all cost
Nice to see an archaeologist taken up with the craft. Still crazy after all these years. In a good way. :) :) :)
Accidently bumped my volume up to max on my inline volume control for my headphones when putting them on to watch this... "Bulford!" scared the crap outta me lol. Phil just sitting there calmly and suddenly says "Bulford!" is something I may never forget, and a fond memory it will be.
I plan to go there to Haugemont Farm and play my pipes as Phil you've discovered my Regiment was there and I'm so proud of that.Scots Guards and you see them there on your video buttons in Threes. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️
Loved this video, Thank you Phil Harding.
TOP MAN
There was a hole in my sole till time team came
Along and filled it in or dug it up 🤔🤔 thanks Time team ..❤️🇬🇧
I also saw this and it warmed the cockles of my heart....I subscribed first and watched later. It was not a disappointment.
Same with me! I didn’t have a clue how interesting and engrossing British history is without Time Team. 👍🏻🇦🇺
Cheers for all these great videos on a subject I've been interested in for 30+ years and thanks Phil for educating and entertaining us for so many years. I recently came across a show you did with the wonderful Mick Aston, Time Signs, didn't know about it even though I must have watched the later show, Time Team, scores of times each episode. Love Time Signs though, in my opinion, better than the latter. Thanks, you're top folk 👍
Thank you Phil.
Always great to see Phil. New hat a bonus.
Have subscribed thank you Phil 👍
Fabulous video, as usual from Dr. Harding. Well done, sir.
Great stuff Phil
What a great man , if only there was a way to make archeology current for the young generations, when I watched time team yeah it was brilliant but also their wasn't as many options on tv , now with sky, amazon ,Netflix, etc its probably only TH-cam we can learn from people like Phil, shame
thank you so much
Thanks Phil and Wessex archeology, I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance of 2 ancient burial sites , St Llythans and Tinkinswood. Local life has it that if you sleep there on midsummers eve you will either die, go insane or become a bard. I've known three who tested it out, all are as mad as a box of frogs now.
Lore not life ☺
Best Indi ever!! But seriously...put endcaps on your handelbar...pleeeeeeease ;-)
Wing Barracks, Bulford Camp was my first posting after passing out at Woolwich in 1972. In the November of that year I was posted to BAOR at a place called Hildesheim between Hanover and Hameln (Hammelin of the Pied Piper fame), in an old WW2 Luftwaffe barracks.
Thanks Phil. Nice hat.
Why are there always the sad people out there that feel the need to thumbs down. Need to get out more 12k of us really Dig The man just don’t watch 🤫
Nappers unite! Cymru am byth!
2 henges together reminds me of durrington woodhenge and stonehenge being connected.
I once met a rather scary man with a full back tattoo, standing bare chested outside an ink parlour, on a summers day. The freshly pricked drawing crudely illustrated another “the shutting of the gate” historic moment in English history.
However, I don’t believe the man had clearly seen the new tattoo or banked on the Polish inker having no cultural reference to said described historic act, or a clear understanding of the man’s local dialect (which was punch drunk anyway). Therefore, I concluded he must’ve interpreted the recounted narrative to the best of his abilities.
So I asked the bloke in question “what’s the dancing stick figure dwarves underneath the city gate all about?” And he said “dancing?”, and I replied “yeah, with handguns” and he glared back with those scary eyes. So I looked again, searching for the answer, and there it was, in type script scrollwork at the base of his spine....
“The Shooting Of The Gates by the Apprentice Boys”.
Are you sure he wasn't referring to an historic moment in Irish history? I may well be wrong, but it sounds like Derry (or Londonderry, if you prefer) to me. It might explain the tatooist's difficulty with his accent! ;)
Phil Roberts it was for the English crown, English history
@@DaraM73 If your man with the inky back identified himself as English first and foremost then, like King Billy himself, I'm a Dutchman. Everybody's history interconnects to a greater or lesser extent, but it would be more accurate to say that the particular event in question, so curiously commemorated, was a moment in British rather than specifically English history. Anglo-Irish-Scots history might be more accurate still, I suppose. (And I'd be willing to bet that in any case it was designed to be more a statement on the current state of politics in Northern Ireland than anything else. People can use, and abuse, history to make it fit whatever belief system they want it to.)
Sorry for the rant, but I am always uneasy when I see history pressed into service in the name of religion (any religion), or sect (any sect), or nation (any nation, including my own - which I suspect is the same as your own).
Im just glad phil finally got a new hat.
I miss the old hat.
It must be naturally waterproofed by now.....
''The old hat was better''
This hat needs a feather.
The old hat is on his bookshelf at home and can be seen in one of the recent remote presence interviews he did with Raksha.
Don't worry, Phil still has his digging hat.
Oh, what a guy to sit and drink with. The stories he could tell ... not just about his personal digs and studies .... but the history he could bring to life.
Mr. Phil, I've a couple of bottles of special whiskey [it's bourbon, not Scotch (sorry )] ... Come sit on my porch. We'll sit and sip and I'll ply you with questions along with the uisce beatha.
Vast sized mega cows you say? So science wise I've always been taught average human height spiked due to the industrialization of meat production during the Victorian and onward eras leading to far bigger availability. Is this something we need to reevaluate?
🤗🙋♀️🇺🇸
No playing up to the camera with comedy sketches and wildly exgerrated laughter here like in time team.
He's just being himself and not playing up to his yokel drinking joking messing about character that was created by time team
I want you back you back on my tv, ring Baldrick, he prob has a plan
Only Blackadder had plans. Balderick just "inspired" his cunning plans.
Can't we see him dig something or work some flint while talking freely
These talks are the entire purpose of weeks or months of patient trowel scraping friend.
There are videos of Phil flint knapping on the Wessex Archaeology Web site.
Cheers Phil and Wessex University. Phill you mentioned the lion’s mound. I do so wish, as thousands of others must have, that they would take that damn thing down. It truly does destroy the entire battlefield.
At Gettysburg there are many large monuments. But none that outright ruin the original terrain. What the Prince of Orange ( I assume that’s who was behind it) did by erecting it was just another display of his criminal incompetence.
How many hats does the man have?
Several. Some are felt, at least one is leather and now the straw one. Phil can keep his hat on.
Good to hear Phil using the term "BC" and not the BCE bullshit!
Eating Sea Eagles?
More likely burying a treasured pet with his or her owner.
But maybe eating. They wouldn't discriminate against eating falcon type birds I wouldn't think.
