These look fantastic. Is there any chance that HS2 Ltd could get these Roman statues 3D scanned and make replicas that could go into Birmingham Curzon Street station?
Yeah but HS2 is a joke of company! Treat people like garbage. No respect at all. Disgusting firm mired in controversy. Anyone who actually has to deal with them finds them absolutely loathsome. Utter scumbags.
@@BritainsHiddenHistoryRoss as someone who lives very near the path of HS2 I embrace that as time passes there is change. I might not love the idea of having hundreds of trucks driving around but if there must be change then let the discovery of hidden archeological sites delight us and show us that our land has changed hands numerous times through time and it will again. We will preserve the find that are discovered and rejoice in there finding.
Actually, there are several HEXAGONAL jars that are stored at the Met Museum in New York, I can assure you. I have examined these on my visits when conducting my own research into 7th century Byzantine material. I would be interested to hear from the archaeologist which specific jar that she is referring to that is from Tunisia, [the accession number]? Furthermore, what other specific evidence has been uncovered to suggest that there was a Roman mausoleum ? Have the team produced a preliminary report for scholars to read, if so can you give the reference please? Many thanks indeed, for the filming of the material.
Thanks for sharing your insights about the glass jar. Here's a link to the one mentioned: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/249462?sortBy=Relevance&ft=gaul&offset=120&rpp=20&pos=137 You’ll see its exactly the same as ours but complete and clearly listed as 1st to early 3rd century AD. Further analysis and reports will be made available in the future. The site is large and there is a huge amount of work to be done with all the finds.
She never said there was only one hexagonal jar in the Met museum so why you need to ‘assure’ them I don’t know. She said it’s “similar to A jar found in Tunisia “
@@bvbinsane1vanity NOONE ASKED YOUR OPINION. The HS2 team, kindly responded to my query in a very polite manner 7 months ago. This matter has been resolved - and has nothing to do with you.
Its just amazing how HS2 has openly and creatively worked with archaeologists as the route progresses. No time pressures and some excellent facilities provided. This is just one of so many sites and the finds are worth all the trouble. Not sure other countries would do this so well done UK and HS2. This sort of things adds millions to the cost and STILL the tree huggers complain.... Go figure.
No time pressures? I think you'll find they are a constant in commercial archaeology, especially HS2. Speaking from personal experience the working conditions are far from great either..
@@acornhead285 This isn't 'Time Team' and they only have 3 days. My point was that HS2 have given all the archaeology teams along the route all the time they need to do the job properly. Now the people or their own organisations themselves may have time pressures but HS2 isn't one of them. I know any groundwork with hands and trowels and brushes is a mucky pastime. But look at the covering structures HS2 have provided over the top of all the various sites. They may get mucky but they won't get wet. I just think its rather a good thing that all these sites weren't just ploughed up and destroyed.
@@1chish The covering structures are for the medieval cemetery only, no other HS2 sites have them. To be blunt, I think you clearly have no first-hand experience and your view is quite naive. The job is done but not necessarily 'properly' in some cases due to working conditions and occasionally brutal time pressures (from HS2!). It's also worth remembering that HS2 is unprecedented destruction and the archaeological excavations are to provide a record of what will be blitzed beyond recognition.
@@acornhead285 It's not fair to say "no other HS2 sites have them". I've seen the documentaries of the archeology going on at the sites at Euston and Birmingham New Street and they both had them. It's very easy to compare HS2 with Victorian railway companies, like the Metropoltan Railway Company and Metropolitan and District Railway Company to see how past railway lines we quite happy to destroy everything in their path with no care, for the damage caused by Cut and Cover. In contrast to that, HS2 Limited is allowing this stuff to be preserved. (And it's also moving wildlife and connecting up different woodlands with a green corridor, that will allow wildlife to migrate more easily.) Could things be better in future? Yes. We could have a government funded rolling program of archeology to investigate all the sites that future HS2 extensions will need to cross. But given that we do need high speed rail to be delivered as soon as possible, so that we can start to have modal shift away from motorways and domestic air lines, I think that this is a fairly good compromise.
its a;ways a shame things have to be buried again,doncaster would be like york and ohhh how many things are still beneath the ground there , but the 70s council concreted over the top of roman donny, they didnt care less..Does this site now get an extention to try and unearth any more beauties
Good point. It’s as if people think the Brits were not capable of building statues or boats or anything else come to that. The archaeologists seem to have a fixation on everything having to be Roman. Ps. Sutton Hoo is British, not Saxon.
@@petrovonoccymro9063 Anglo-Saxons are just what we call British people from that time And the people who usually get statues were the rich, which would have been the Romans, not the native Britons You have a fundamental misunderstanding about history
@@isnitjustkit Nonsense. No historian would claim that only the rich got statues made of them. And Anglo Saxons were not British. They were German immigrants. The British were British, and they spoke Brythonic Cymric, the forerunner of modern Welsh, not the Germanic Saxon tongue. You are the one who has a poor understanding of history.

The Britons were celts, the British were (and still are) Anglo-Saxons and Germanic, as we are today

Looks fake to me. But justifies the whole HS2 project, cos we'll save 10 minutes in our rail journey that no-one is taking anymore (irony). Lets destroy all our ancient woodlands to find these British artefacts. I doubt that they had anything to do with Romans, Angles or Saxons. Did the British women not braid their hair too? Or was it the statue of a goddess? Unlikely to be the statue of a Roman woman, because they didn't make statues of women. Maybe it was a statue of Kelta?
More woodlands have been destroyed by the creation of the Motorways, Nobody like change, but we have a UK Rail network at a gridlock and we need to move our people about, People standing on over crowded trains like sardines, The WCML Can't cope and we need to move the long distance trains onto it own set of tracks to create more space for frieght and more local commutter trains, Not everyone can work from home.
@Mr Quagmire The main purpose of HS2 is to remove InterCity trains off of three existing mainlines, so that more stopping services can be run for the local people. The increase in stopping services is designed to reduce car dependency across the Midlands. It also allows for more freight trains to get from the North to the South. The separation of InterCity services is designed to make them more reliable and make them compete better against domestic airlines. If we can use the increased capacity on the rail network to reduce the number of lorries and planes in the UK, it would drastically lower pollution and lower the number of people suffering from medical problems related to pollution.
