The discovery of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery alongside a Bronze Age burial site is a thrilling testament to the layers of history waiting to be uncovered

I always smile when I see faces i know from time team, It's good to see them working in their respective fields and in their element outside of just that one show. It's like meeting old friends by chance out and about. 😄

maybe a copper cased lead weight was a way of assuring it didn't get trimmed so an early weights and mesures control
-
I hope they find my dad who went out for a pack of cigarettes years ago 😢
-
never would i have imagined being able to see a ''fresh'' found blade being scanned AND getting to see such a clear result for pattern welding, amazing

I notice that quite often in these productions British Archeologists are under the threat of some dramatic time restraints when they are digging.

I read somewhere and not sure of its truthfulness, that the Anglo-Saxons, after winning a battle, didn't bury Viking dead in the traditional manner. They would strip the dead Vikings of anything valuable, then seat them back-to-back and cover them above ground with sod. Over time as the bodies decayed the mounds collapsed. As I said it might just be a story.

This reminds me of the joke about the difference between Europe and the United States: "In Europe, 100 miles is considered a long way; in the US, 100 years is considered a long time."
-
After inspection, conservation etc, will the things that belonged to the dead warriors be returned to them and conserved together? After all, that is where they should always be.

Very interesting so far :)

This isn't Time Team. I miss Phil Harding.

Always happy to see Miles Russell, who I recall from Time Team, appear here from time to time.

if badgers can destroy the site.. does it seem strange that in the thousands of years they haven’t done so already just by chance?
-
I found this fascinating! I very much enjoy your videos.

Sweet Prof Roberts…just read her book about the celts

According to this channel the " all seeing eye " ( thumbnail ) was prevalent in medieval times.

Alice is a real thing of beauty and purpose, and arguably only a man of power and wealth could conquer.

You have some crazy soil there, all those rocks in it!

You're working for us now

I’m surprised they’re allowed to make this program about our fascinating history without a hint of trying to discount our achievements. Spoke too soon, within 5 minutes the half black and half white badgers trying to negate our history.
