Finding Bath's Hidden Roman Graveyard | Time Team

[@VintageCarHistory]

I don't know what I like most about Time Team: the archeology and history or the banter. Perhaps both.

@@TrophyNZ1 I think so as well. They all are wonderful, get along together well it seems. Now, all the old people like me just need to be more pliable. Trust me it's hard. We get set in a certain way, and of course dislike (some) changes.

That pottery is a key indicator of where society was at the time. It's not just trash. Rejected pottery shows what level of craftsmanship was considered acceptable at the time. If high quality product is being rejected, inferences can be made about how prosperous this place was at that time.

[@casperbetz1949]

No, those inferences can not be made. "Rejected in the firing" means the process didn't work out for one reason or another after the pot was formed and dried. If anything, that simply means someone made a minute mistake before the firing, and probably it was not even a fault of their own. Also, Roman pottery generally is a high-output craft compared to the eras immediately before and after - think of the amphora which were single-use containers and produced in the thousands. High-output means that you rather produce more, i.e. faster, and hence have a slightly higher percentage of reject, than do it slow and have each piece perfect. That is not feasible anyway, and attempts at reducing the reject before firing may just have been un-economically because they are taking too much time.

I wish someone could explain to me how a sticking up Roman wall ended up two and a half meters underground, without anyone actually spending several hours shoveling dirt over it at some point. Did it just get less and less tall with the dust of centuries as people walked by and some medieval Grandpa said, Hey, when I were young, that wall came up to past my waist, and now it's down to my knees."?

[@trevormiles5852]

Many times instead of tearing something down, they covered it up and made area level. Jerusalem , they are still digging down as well as modern cities in united states. San Francisco, After fire and earthquake it was covered over and piled and pushed into ocean creating extra land. In san Diego where I came from you see when streets are being dug up old trolley rails that wre covered instead taken out. Indeed in San Diego rooms and trolley stations have been found. The ballet foclorico in Mexico city, used have steps going up and now have steps going down. Mexico City was built on a lake. And like San Francisco is sinking where heavy buildings are built on soft dirt . Many cities are built on top of old native sites. Same is true in Europe.

this happens over and over again. A flood will bury it and rather than dig it out, build over it.

isnt it funny how in almost every episode they find signs of stone age/prehistoric/Neolithic activity and settlements and they are generally very Meh about it, yet where i live people would be over the moon to find evidence of Prehistoric settlements and occupation.

[@jonnynguyen6246]

It doesn't seem like a "tradition" to bury them in the ditches on the sides of the roads. I think given they were males in their 20s and 30s without many objects, they were possibly the road-builders themselves and passed during construction.

Why only 3 Days??

[@jansenart0]

Are we sure these roadside corpses are burials, or were they victims of crucifixion?

[@Ken_Scaletta]

Nothing about them showed signs of crucifixion, plus crucifixion victims were not permitted to have proper burials. They were usually left on the cross to rot and if they were taken down they were buried in common trench pits.

[@poletooke4691]

3 days was WAY too short for this one. You only JUST got started and then it ended. :/

[@davegnarlsson4344]

Sometimes your guesses and assumptions are just plain wrong. I can imagine a commander saying "Build the road here". It doesn't matter if the incline is slightly more than 1000 meters away. Also, imho, you can't conclude anything from small digs scattered sparsely across the countryside. Eithe dig it up completely or accept the fact that you will be wrong half the time.

[@michaelmckinnon7314]

Saint Andrew's in Bath, UK was the burial place of British Royal Family members for years (they were laid to rest in the church). Iron Age was before Bronze Age. The Romans wouldn't build a road over buried bodies (they believed it would curse the road) so that would explain why the logical route wasn't taken.

[@stevew8233]

Iron age came after the Bronze age. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-age_system

[@michaelmckinnon7314]

@@stevew8233 ok, then explain how Neolithic man made iron nails and hammer heads if they couldn't smelt iron then, it goes Stone Age, Iron Age, Bronze Age, Industrial Age, and Modern Age. Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information about much, it also says The Raid at Entebbe occurred July 4, 1976 and if I need a reminder of the actual date in 1983 that it happened, considering I was on the hijacked flight, had a Nickel plated Walther PPK held to my head, was in the control tower when the ATC talking to the IDF pilot said "turn back unless you want a missile in the cockpit with you" the unit that raided the plane was GSG-9, and of the first time I killed someone (with a Heckler and Koch MP-5 and it was a head shot, right between the eyes).

[@stevehuffman7453]

Since "Romans" lived and died in Bath, England, for quite a few years, why wouldn't there be some Roman sarcophagi there?
It wouldn't be practical to send all the dead dudes over the years back to Italy/Rome for burial.
Be more surprising if there weren't any "Roman" sarcophagi under Bath, or any other occupied city of the Empire.
