24:46 This archeologist has my appreciation for remaining open to the truth and not assigning his assumptions as truth, as many archeologists do. I also appreciate how they didn’t remove the remains out of respect for the dead. 👏👏👏
It is tremendous to see this happen. They explored, discovered, took a bit to research and study and recovered. What would it have served to remove all of the bones. Must honor their common sense.
Although the Mesolithic people are described as nomadic, surely it is likely that they had an annual "circuit" of some kind when they visited sites they knew would be favourable for each season or month?
While plywood (laminated wood in sheets) was invented in the late 19th century, "cheap plywood" didn't exist when those WW1 launches were built. The ribs in question were laminated to the forms required, glued up in layers from several thin pieces of wood, making them stronger than solid wood ribs steamed and bent to shape. Laminated ribs are easier to produce than steamed and bent solid wood ribs and the final product is stronger.
Great episode as always. Good to see the mesolithic platform challenges archeologist's ASSUMPTIONS about hunter gatherers and 'settlement' and their dogma that it was one OR the other. Never forget that this use of assumptions and teachings applies to most of their work on pre recorded language people
WWAAAAHHHEEEEEYYY. At last a caring archaeologist leaves the dead bodies to rest in piece where their family put them. 🙂. Dr Martin Papworth I raise a glass to you. 🍺.
My Great-grandmother and her 13 year old daughter emigrated from Glasgow to Edmonton Alberta Canada. They nearly bought passage on Titanic, but could get better accommodation aboard the Lusitania for the same price. That turned out to be a good decision all around. Every time I am reminded of what happened to "The Scottish Ship" in 1915, I regret not sitting down with gramma and recording her memory of the voyage and reaction to the news of Lusitania's loss in a 1915. If your grandparents were diary keepers, I envy you!
My grandpa was a diary every day of his life from 13 to 97. There’s a lot of note books. But the bad part. My grandpa when he was 13 make up his own written language. A few of our family and me was taught how to read it. But there’s a lot of note books full of unspeakable words that needs translating. I started going through them in 2020 during the pandemic and 4 years in I got 10 books done. About 300 plus more to go.
Brilliant idea, bringing all these sites together for us. The USA needs to do this too, a vast space, with countless universities doing every kind of dig. I don't think even an archeologist could keep up with it all here. Still a die hard Time Team fan too, if ya havent seen the new Sutton Hoo dig & ship in 2024, do yourselves a favor(Tony's back!)
Think it's time to rethink the whole "pre-settlement" phase. Star Carr is another site and is an indication that the "settlement phase" happened much sooner than we give our ancestors credit for.
I agree. I’ve often thought technology is our downfall. We need computers and calculators, they didn’t. I’ve always wondered how they taught math, to calculate in their heads. We’re getting dumber. It’s not the other way around.
Calling all of you clever people watching this video - This is out of context I know, but the prison hulks triggered a memory that I’m have trouble resolving. As a small child I saw an British movie. The movie was already old in the 1970s (I think). The only scene I remember clearly is of someone living on a windswept shingle/sand beach, in what appeared* to be a medium sized upturned wooden boat. There was a door cut out on one side and a small chimney poking out through the roof. A child was one of the main characters and visited whoever it was that lived there in the upturned wooden vessel. Outside the waves crashes and the wind blew, but inside the unconventional dwelling it was cosy and warm. *i think it was an upside down wooden boat’s hull, although it could have been some kind of traditional style of coastal dwelling. The movie was in English set somewhere in the UK. Does anyone remember this movie? The scene? The book it’s from? I keep thinking that it might have been adapted from one of the famous English authors. As you’re all such clever people here, I thought I’d try my luck and ask you. ❤any help is greatly appreciated.
@SecretSquirrelFun The book David Copperfield by Charles Dickens fits the description. The boat belonged to the Peggetts. I may have the spelling wrong. I have no idea if it was made into a movie in the 70s.
Maybe the young people that were buried were bound after death in order to transport them more easily to a safer, more meaningful, or more visitable burial site?
They were not made cheap they used laminated wood for strength so they could use a smaller support so it was lighter and would make the boat faster. Like using carbon fiber lighter and stronger. This is Britons future we should learn to love it.... THREADS the movie
I don't understand why they talk as if it is not well known that there were plenty of sedentary or semi-sedentary hunter-gatherer cultures a lot older than 6000 years. Or is this particular to Brittain?
Excuse but Archeologist miss spoke, a whorl is not for weaving but for spinning. Or was it a weight for the loom for weaving the fabric? Hard to tell for sure from the image I saw.
Mosaics were usually applied onto a layered base of concrete and wood, I believe. The many tesserae that made up the mosaic itself would be adhered onto the topmost concrete layer. I'm unsure of the exact steps involved in constructing said floor over a hypocaust heating system... Miss Google could answer that a bit better 🙃
Plywood was not a cheap nessesarly a cheap material in WW1, only invented 50 years prior to that, already recognised as a flexible and strong material it is commonly used in marine construction today. Though it was a technology still in development and what we know as Marine Ply was not invented for another 15 years.
Wiltshire is good for history, but you cannot entirely escape the tourists I’m afraid . Try Lacock , Avebury, Stonehenge, (crowded with tourists) Salisbury Cathedral, Stourhead and Wilton House , but the quietest spot in this county would be Tisbury tithe barn and Wardour Castle and the nearby little villages of Ansty and Ashmore are worth a look .😊
We shall call it 'Bob'. Shouldn't be that difficult to reconstruct if they documented where the pieces came from. But do they have any idea what the sea level was when it was in use?
Amazing amount of investigations and digging going on in this presentation. Very interesting with overseeing by Prof Alice Roberts now a redhead. Prefer blond. The professionalism and handling the human remains to investigate and return them to a grave and the clay modeling seeing the face of one gentleman 200 years or more after his death. Also I may have missed the DNA analysis were some relatives discovered that are living? Finally the underwater recovery is due to the water level of the ocean increasing as the glaciers melted. This level must have been right at sea-level at that time as it was a raft or walkway very wet. Site 11 meters under water that is about 36 feet is doable but with water currents making it very difficult. I would love to help on that as I am a diver. Very interesting indeed. Good Luck.
Professor Roberts wouldn't care less whether you preferred her hair blonde or red I imagine. Totally her choice and absolutely nothing to do with this programme and something that doesn't warrant comment.
Thoss people probably fell several times through former made platforms and figured out they had to interlock the beams to become tighter and stronger?!
My husband noticed that the one team had MOLA on their workwear and wondered if the team that worked on the site prior to them were called PRE-MOLA but couldn't get their teeth into the site..... Oh come on, it is Saturday night after a curry. Don't worry, he's already got his coat. Very interesting to learn about that native Dorset tribe that didn't care for Roman culture or religion.
Lol, it's wood stacked on top of one another thousands of years ago. A wood pile, that's all it is. Dead wood piled up by heavy rain torrential flooding.
Motor Launches... The USA was never neutral in either WW1 or WW2. It was always about making money until 1917 rolled around and it was looking very much as if the Allies were going to lose the war. At that point the US became an active belligerent and changed the course of history so as not to lose all of the money that their banks and Wall St had invested in Allied victory. The same thing happened in WW2. Who wins wars has NOTHING to do with right and wrong or good and bad, it just doesn't.
Maybe God decides who wins & loses wars..?? She decides who lives & dies..!! USA was definitely NOT "Neutral"... It was all about "Public Opinion" and 'Proper Timing" to ensure re-election for the 'Party In Control'... It's always about 'Profits & Power'.... Just Look at President Kennedy... They took Jack out b/c he did not want a War and put Johnson in and got what was necessary to make tons of money... Congress gave him the authority to send in fully active troops, not just advisors, increasing from 20k to 190k soldiers, w/o a Declaration of War.
I so wish our government would just stop sticking their noses in things that aren’t any of our business. Our people are going broke just trying to feed ourselves, and what does the jackass in the Oval Office do, he send Millions $$$$ to Ukraine. Why?? Our American people 🇺🇸 need it here, we need the cost of food and gas and everything else lowered. So frustrating and it makes me 🤬🤬🤬🤬.
After WW2 the world was forced to use and purchase American made products for decades. With the premise that the States would help bring the world out of starvation and poverty. In a realistic world that isn’t possible. Now that the world realizes and understands this the world now wants the States as an “equal”. I truly hope the world is ready for the world we have now stepped into. The States have lived well beyond what much of the rest of the world has. The resources that are extracted and stolen from other nations is sickening at this point. The future looks “bleak for the States. @@charitywattenburger4550.

Also, the Old Testament was written 3,000 years before his birth, and the New Testament was written 200 years before his birth. You were given horrible theological instruction.

The headline "8,ooo year old Sunken Structure" had my hopes up. I felt misled and disappointed to realize that this so called Sunken Structure was only a pile of black rotten, worm eaten wood with a few chert stones, found on the bottom of the ocean not buried in a sunken chamber. The chapter in this episode of Unearthed Archaeology only gave 10 minutes video time (after another 10 minute article) to this potentially interesting find. It would have been nice if the article included the amount of wood found, how this wood was dated, a sketch of what this structure may have looked like or more information on the Mesolithic people of Britain.
I LOVE how Rob had the site survey of the Roman settlement on his shirt and gestured to it while he was explaining. Brilliant

David Copperfield (Dickens). Google Peggoty's house. I'm sure there have been several film adaptations over the years.

Great to note that the Roman boundaries have persisted as field hedgerows
@UnearthedHistory 29:18 The Lusitania did not get "ripped in two and sink in 18 seconds". The ship sank in 18 minutes, not 18 seconds.
Had to do a double take when I noticed the pottery was being stored in a plastic Haribo box at 7:19.
Dig, Dive and Discover !!

I love watching you Alice
Love these ❤❤
I could dig it!!! I do!!! Wonderful work!
Maybe the young people that were buried were bound after death in order to transport them more easily to a safer, more meaningful, or more visitable burial site?
I think we need more questions like this! We should have a lot of “what ifs” so we don’t get tunnel vision. Great question! 😊
Wonderful, thank you.

Makes sense to recover and remove the bones where the site is being eroded. Hopefully reinterned elsewhere and not to storage somewhere.
Exactly when was the mesolithic platform above water? Might it coincide with Pulse 1b? Might it be 12ky?

It would be great to have subtitles to your productions. My hearing is impaired and I struggle to hear your narrations.
Excellence , compliments
dig past the Romans and you will almost always find pagan, celtic or druid foundations and artefacts in Wales, Scotland and England
Did the local Dorset tribe reject adopting Romanisation or did they just not see significant Romans until shortly before they packed and took off??
Excuse but Archeologist miss spoke, a whorl is not for weaving but for spinning. Or was it a weight for the loom for weaving the fabric? Hard to tell for sure from the image I saw.
Oops Alice! The Lusitania sank in 18 minutes, not "seconds".
Somehow I cannot believe that someone brining products to England first thought is "How / where do I pay import tax"
Could the platform be a floating pier?
What I wish someone would tell, is what were the Roman mosaics sat on? Sand, lime plaster, or anything less obvious?
Mosaics were usually applied onto a layered base of concrete and wood, I believe. The many tesserae that made up the mosaic itself would be adhered onto the topmost concrete layer. I'm unsure of the exact steps involved in constructing said floor over a hypocaust heating system... Miss Google could answer that a bit better 🙃
Archaeologists are not necessarily good at math. The Lusitania did not sink in 18 seconds... It was 18 minutes!!!
