    I expect there has been a lot of erosion in that whole area over the last 2000+ years. It would have been interesting to hear from a geologist about how much land might have been lost, along with its archeology.
    Not a complaint though! This is a fascinating place.

      Some of the Iron Age promontory forts around the Pembrokeshire coast have been badly eroded by the sea, for example about half of the site at Porth-y-Rhaw, near Solva, has already disappeared.

    I can't help but keep looking at the gap between Gateholme & the mainland, & wondering exactly when the land-bridge collapsed. Here in South Australia I have seen land-bridges, that I walked over as a child, collapse during a big storm &, a few storms later, you'd barely credit that there had ever been a solid path between the mainland & the island.
    I find it highly credible that during the Iron Age, & possibly even later, there may have been such a land-bridge to the island.

    Mary-Ann Ochota studied archaeology and anthropology at Cambridge University, and was a former model.
    However, Mick Aston was less than impressed when she joined the team, as he felt that taking her on board was lowering the intellectual level of the programme. He considered that her appointment was a “dumbing down” of Time Team, and that the role played by “more cerebral members” (as he considered them) of the crew was becoming less important.
    Personally, I have no strong views. But even Tony Robinson described Aston as a “grumpy old curmudgeon,” although I believe Robinson felt affection for him.

  • @whitewalker9622

    That name, gateholm. It´s norse-ish. Holm is islet in our tongue. Gate is english. So gateholm is telling me from the name it´s the area name. "The gate to the islet". Trading or some other importance I would say. You don´t see the ditches in the pictures of the island? And sorounding areas on the main land. Where is Stewart Ainsworth?

    • @Schmorgus
      @Schmorgus 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Gate translates to street (gate, gata). So it's 100% Norse. Should translate pretty nicely to "the street on the islet" or "isletstreet". The bigger question is what it was used for to get a Norse name later on, since there's no evidence that it was ever used by the Norse.

      Series 19 was when the TV execs at Channel 4 brought in Mary Ann Ochota to supplant Tony, and Alex Langlands, trying to appeal to a younger demographic, and they told Stewart and Helen to buzz off. **That’s** why Dr. Aston walked out- they laid off half his team without even consulting him.
      Also why Francis Pryor and Neil Holbrook are doing the site director thing that season.

    • @andershansson2245
      @andershansson2245 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It's entirely Old Norse, in this case Gateholm translate as 'Goat Island' (if you know any Scandinavian you know it makes sense), looks just like the terrain where people even today breed livestock like goat and sheep. What's odd is with that name, where are the Norse finds? Amber of course being traded from the Baltic lonng before, and after the Viking era.

  • @alayneperrott9693
    @alayneperrott9693 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    From the Mesolithic for several thousand years, sea level was lower than today around the west coasts of Wales - hence the drowned forests at places like Borth, so walking across to the island and accessing marine foods around the shoreline would have been easy.

    They mentioned that the site had been excavated at least twice (that they know of). How do they know that what they were seeing wasn't potentially damaged site or refill from previous digs.
    even the Lidar images could have been misleading or distorted from previous dig pits. Would have been interesting to know how much , if any , information they had about the previous digs.

    • @georgedorn1022
      @georgedorn1022 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      There are probably records showing which parts of the site already been excavated.
      Any half decent archaeologist will quickly be able to identify when a feature has previously been dug and backfilled if they re-dug it.

    To an archaeologist, a religious site is like the Holy Grail! So, it stands to reason that no matter what they find, they're going to imply it has some kind of religious ties to it! So many of the "religious temples" found in the past have turned out to be nothing more than a simple residence or a stable.

    What is annoying to anybody who took history in High School. The illogical assumption of every site/people were or are religious artifacts. Remember in regression Therapy, everyone was a King/Princess!!
    It took "Tony" 20 minutes to realize that the "Island" was once a headland, quite obvious to the naked eye, that weather swept away the 'Bridge" to the mainland about the time they are assuming. The show would be interesting to any one that was interested, But what Tony And The Mad Professor are trying too hard to do, is make the show sellable to Private Networks to make monster loads of cash on the pretense of being a type of interesting movie that Indiana Jones would star in!! Utter Crap!!

      "Monster loads of cash" is a gross exaggeration. They need income to fund the new programme of crowd-funded Time Team digs. Archaeology is very expensive when you no longer have a major TV network backing you and you have experts, equipment, film crews, local food and accommodation, and a production team to pay for.
