- Professor Alice Roberts and Dr. Nisha McWeeney take us on an exploration of Britain's West, revealing remarkable archaeological discoveries. Highlights include, an Anglo-Saxon dig in the Cotswolds, where high-status artifacts like a silver-gilt sword pommel and a silver buckle are uncovered, shedding light on early 6th-century history. Plus at Barrow Clump, the team finds human remains, examining the impact of military activities and investigating the unusual coastal burials potentially linked to shipwreck victims.

Dr.Roberts presentation is amazing , she is a British National Treasure!!!
No you are wrong she is nothing but a British unionist Britain is not a country
The editing is bloody terrible
nah, it would be much better were she wearing lingerie while doing it
She dissecrates graves and robs The contents. I don't see nothing great about her. People ain't even safe in their own graves.
Its really nice to see the enthusiasm of the people in this field. they all seem so energetic and excited to be doing this. Really wholesome and sweet
Yes but what's unsettling is the bands of tourist detectourists(sic) that come over from America to scour our land for finds.
I used to love watching Julian's Meet the Ancestors.
NOTE TO THE EDITOR: Please lower the volume level at your ad for History Hit because it makes me instantly stop the video to fast forward past it every time. I understand you do it to get the viewer's attention, but you're not thinking about viewers using headphones or people who are watching trying not to annoy or wake-up others around them with the noise from the video. I know I'm not the only person to comment about this so please consider it as I think more people would take more notice of the ad if it wasn't blasted at them in the middle of a calming history video.
And for those who wish to complain about my complaint,....I'm allowed to have and voice my views, just like you. Have a great day.
Indeed, I am with you :) Sadly, intrusive ads and promo`s are the plague of our times, and easily destroy any continuity of the subject being watched - and equally sadly, the History Hit promo is, as you indicate, unnecessarily long and loud - I always switch the sound off :(
I agree 100%
And they certainly are not thinking about disabled people lying down on the other side of the room who cannot suddenly jump up and leap across the room to their desktop to turn the volume down at 3 AM and fast forward past their garbage ads.

@@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095 considering I blew my knee out fencing, I was in that predicament 3 weeks ago. I'm more capable now, but I fully get ya.
@@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095 That's very true and that's me you're talking about too, so thank you for thinking of us as well. I'm often up at 3am watching videos because I'm in pain a lot.
Dr. Naoise Mac Sweeney has such a soothing voice.
Alice presents , This always gets my attention , Such a good presenter, The enthusiasm and knowledge are wonderful to watch .
My first thought when they mentioned the first graves were from non Christians who buried their dead with nice things, was God Bless Them! How wonderful. Not I’m thinking what I would like to be buried with (Christian, but I don’t see why I shouldn’t have things like transistors, vacuum tubes, micro chipped Garfield the cat, plastic Moon Lander. Things like that. Of, yess, also lots od costume jewelry!
Really? Each to their own but I don't understand why you would want to be buried with things that will leech and pollute the ground around you.
Really interesting series. Could do without the sudden stupid extremely annoying loud adverts which start without warning. Mute button, and 'skip' at the ready.

In England, Sir Walter Scott's romantic literature restored the dignity of the Saxons and, in a way, stimulated the development of both historiography and archeology. Echoes of this can be seen in Brazil. First in the romantic literature of José de Alencar, who later encouraged the study of indigenous societies and the archaeological sites they left in Brazilian territory. But no one produces TV programs like this in Brazil. Here the memory needs to be buried because there are still landowners who covet indigenous territories, invade it to cut wood, extract gold, etc... Businessmen like Elon Musk bought tons of gold criminally extracted from indigenous territories during the Bolsonaro government. Even today there is a well-structured political right that propagates hatred against Indians and encourages organized violence against them. These conflicts do not exist in England, but I suspect that the proliferation of programs like this serves another purpose: to divert the population's attention from the distributive conflicts caused by neoliberalism to concentrate income. The same problem (the institutionalized greed of the rich) produces the same results through different devices (erasure of memory in Brazil, overexploitation of the past in England).
I agree with all you say but one thing. It’s not just the (far right) it’s the uniparty )!

Brazil is gross
Food on the grill. Good history show. Ale in hand. I'm good.😂
In case anyone is interested..... This is Season 8, Episode 1, WEST
Very nice,i hope this never stops.
Gorgeous Archaeology Documentarie’s! As always videos so adorable and classic! Dr. Alice put your heart and talent to create this video so perfect, love your beautiful personality, and everything about you is so unique and attracts the eyes and captivates the mind in an inexplicable way. They are intelligent and value scientific knowledge, and doing great for the soul. Congrats. Much thanks from St. Louis, Missouri. 🇺🇸🦅
I am constantly amazed that some viewers criticize on unimportant aspects despite the amazing information shown.
I love it thank you
Red is my favorite color ❤❤❤
So many burial grounds, cemeteries, battle grounds, killing fields, murder sites, etc..
Fantastic
A truly spellbinding documentary. I have such mixed feelings about the digging up of bodies. I understand the need to "know" but why can't they be left in situ and simply photographed after bone samples and some teeth are removed for testing? I'm fascinated by all the archaeological discoveries, but the 10 year old boy and his little teeth got me. My Grandson is 10 and that little boy became real to me. I wish he could have been left to rest in peace.
I like to believe that the little boy is in a much better place and no longer cares where the old bones he used to use are .
I've read your comment before watching and having grandkids my heart was in my mouth.
So now I'll go and watch it prepared for that bit and see what's so important that these remains have to be relocated.
Such a sensitive subject.
There will be something bigger behind it.
@@josephinemitchell9504 Enjoy. Please let me know your take on it😊
I always like 👍 k forward to this show
Good compilation guys thank you,one thing could you have the volume level for the ad adjusted to the same level as the rest of the video,cheers.
Thanks👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Does the tank do more damage than an archaeologist, who removes all the burials? Is a burial mound anything more than a pile of dirt after all the burials are removed? Is it worth protecting when it is just a memory of what it was?
Alice Roberts ❤️🥰
Watching Prof Alice makes me want to get into some deep exploration.
very good I like
Please try to ensure your programme and advertisement sound levels match so we're not suddenly having our eardrums assaulted by your ads! Thank you.
Glass is actually one of the strongest materials around It is very hard and very stable, it has very high compressive strength but very low sheer strength. It is also extremely stable. It is already a rock. I think it is so rarely found intact has more to do with the fact people don't generally throw out intact glassware, but the often throw out broken glass.
" If anyone knows where his feet are ! " 😂😂🙂
How did they misspell Dr Naoíse Mac Sweeney so badly?
The burial of the teenage/young man with the arms over his head wasn't put in there in some weird manor he was rolled in by someone who couldn't lift him or didn't care how he went in and kicked him in. The arms go like that when they are rolled in and the always land on their face like he was because of gravity, he was on his back next to the grave and then once they dug it they push or kicked him in and when you do that, they go face down 9/10 times.
You sound extremely experienced in this field…l won’t ask…lmaooo
Absolutely agree. Guessing you're a true crime addict like me!
When does grave robbing become archaeology? Just an interesting question , no malice intended
same.
@@KernowekTim just sad that they feel the need to dig up the dead
Wow, luckily, they didn't need to dig much to find this lot. Digging up the dead, it's mental.
This truly one time I would be crying. Terrible? 😊😢_
Digging up the dead. Is there nothing sacred ?
If i didnt have heart disease this is the women that i would love to follow around for the history of Britain
The walls the Narrator is standing in front of has some of the Archeology of the area. Evidences of creatures trapped within the rocks used in the construction of the wall, can be seen in every introduction she presents.
How old do graves have to be before it's okay to dig them up?
tanks would apply a similar pressure per area, as the infantryman who follow them
Another excellent episode: I'm surprised Richard Osgood and his team weren't climbing all over those Centurion tanks, after all, they are quite ancient.
I really don't see any difference from this and grave robbers- your digging up people's remains and taking out the physical objects as well.
Are you re-burying the bones or taking them for your archeologica
Studies?
To protect it from those rouge archaeologists out there. 😠.
Alice the Red 😊❤
She was Alice the pink back in her Time Team days.
Intact deposits could be tested for DNA to give a profile of all the animals and peoples that were present in the cave.
The neanderthal/human interface could be crucial to answering key questions on the story of neanderthals in Britain.
for a reasonably modern production, USE of B.C. should be B.C.E. and C.E. Not B.C and A.D.
Read Velikowsky!
Feel a little sorry for the guy who first found it. Seems like the archaeologists came rushing in.
@3:15 The grim reaper. 👹.
It's a sort of show about sort of digging sort of up sort of bones out of sort of dirt with a sort of shovel and sort of trowel and sort of guessing at a sort of explanation and sort of involves a lot of sort of guesswork.
“Eroding backward” as opposed to eroding forward?
arms above head shows he was dragged in and left
Because they were buried there and the ground eroded away exposing them ?
What a great program. I'm in live with Alice. What a pretty woman.
I want to help. I want to play!!!
I think that evey field in England has some history
Flood?
Who are we looking at? The founder of the first branch of Starbucks in Salisbury.
Does anyone knows know where his legs are""" 😂😂 haha
Could someone explain to the uninitiated, why older archaeological strata is lower to younger archaeological levels, is the earth rising as time goes by…?
If I chuck a bucket of soil on the ground and then an hour later I chuck another on top... the oldest layers are lower, unless something disturbs them.
The skeletons will be mostly .....................
What destroyed the village.
Pronunce your os pleeeease . Roving archaeologist becomes , raving archaeologist!!!!
Grave robbers 👀
It's a Bargain Basement Pound Shop Time Team.

Out "of" this cliff

"...converted to Christianity." At the end of a spear..
How many ads can one video have?
Get You tube premium and you won’t have any commercials!
‘Correct’ grammar would be more appropriate from a grammatical point of view…
Well the history of early man came out of the east and also out of the west, so is this a cultural argument or a geo political argument both have merit and none of the political science people agree with the former either so.... I digress.men had legs, boats, and they also had more wander lust back then to explore, and as well as we know every culture did the same, hence the history of man kind.
Interesting, but I do not like the way you say, in the first part of the vid, when you say "most Britons at this time were pagans" clearly the Anglo Saxons you watched being dug up were not Britons, but invaders and were pagans, but the actual Britons were very far from being pagans, I do not understand why you archaeologists constantly make this error.
If we went to the graveyard's And dug them up and robbed the contents like these people do we would go to jail. But these people do it legally and get rich. Even the Dead ain't even safe from the greed of these greedy people in this world. I reckon rest in peace.Don't really mean what it says .
I'm sorry... what? Who is getting rich? This is archaeology, science. Most of the people involved are volunteers and the paid professionals involved earned their positions and they do NOT get to take artifacts home with them. When someone dies the place their remains are buried does not belong to them in perpetuity... we'd run out of places to farm or build houses or do pretty much anything. Permits to dig are granted after very careful consideration. How does anything you say make any sense? WT actual F are you talking about?
Her accent is all posh and middle BBC English now, what happened to her West Country accent that she clearly used to have?
Where do you lot put the poor peoples skeletons after you have ripped them from their graves. 😪.
The ocean is going to take the bodies once the cliffs erode anyhow so what's it matter? Shouldn't we at least learn something from them, pay attention when you watch and that would be obvious.
They are reburied in consecrated ground if they are of a later date.
Grave robbers at it again.
Archaeologists are not "grave robbers".
Male skeleton with female grave goods? Dare we wonder if this is a gender fluid individual?
They trying to say he’s Alphabet warrior like the abc people in todays time
I can’t help but feel like they are doing wrong pulling people out of the ground who have passed and been placed there by loved ones. Not saying I don’t enjoy these types of documentaries. Just on the fence about it.
I totally disagree with you. Learning who these people are... is bring them back to life in a way. We bring their history and culture into our future.
Yes agree. They were buried with the items for a reason. But these people are greedy for the items and the science.
"Sticking out this cliff"? Proper grammar please!
I know. It's hard to trust the legitimacy of a channel that doesn't care to proofread their titles.
She said STICKING OUT OF THE CLIFF FACE……I BELIEVE WHAT SHE SAID IS PROPER GRAMMAR ‼️
@deborahbaker4770 the original comment is in reference to the video title,
Ebonics
Would it be a grammer problem or a typo?
The skeletons must conform to WOKE theorems or else.
Britain is not a country ffs
Ok then.. what is Britain?
@@The_Deaf_Aussie England, Scotland & wales is Britain
People are ignoring actual known human history. The actual historical records and DNA migrations show that everyone spread out from Mesopotamia. Ancient history is essential for everyone to know, especially the sixteen original civilizations… from the sixteen grandsons of Noah. Learn ancient history before trying to learn science.
1. The first inhabitants of Italy (K) Tubal
2. Thracians (L) Tiras
3. Mediterranean Greek sea people (T) Javan
4. Siberians (N) Meshek
5. East Asians (O) Magog
6. Medes (PQ) Madai
7. Western Europeans (R) Gomer
8. Hebrews and Arabic (IJ) Arphaxad
9. Elamites (H) Elam
10. Assyrians (G) Asshur
11. Arameans (F1) Aram
12. Lydians (F2) Lud
13. Cushites (AB, C) Cush
14. Egyptians (E3) Mitzrayim
15. Canaanites (E2, D) Canaan
16. Original North African Phoenicians (E1) Phut
The D paternal haplogroup Sino descendants of Canaan migrated from Canaan east to China all the way to Japan and Tibet. The C paternal haplogroup descendants of Nimrod migrated as far as South Asia, the Pacific, Mongolia and all the way to the Americas accounting for the Olmec civilization as well as the Q haplogroup descendants of Madai ancestor of the Medes that crossed the Atlantic to Central America.
The A maternal mtDNA haplogroup belonging to the Semitic N lineage accompanied the Eurasian Q paternal haplogroup to Central America. The C&D maternal haplogroups belonging to the Eurasian M lineage also accompanied the Atlantic crossing of the Q paternal haplogroup Medes and probably the C paternal haplogroup to Central America. The Semitic B maternal mtDNA haplogroup seems to have crossed the Pacific Ocean to South America.
The Mediterranean paternal R1b and the maternal X2a also found in Galilee represent another Atlantic crossing of the Phoenicians in the days of King Solomon considering also the Mediterranean paternal haplogroups of T, G, I1, I2, J1, J2, E and B in addition to the R1b in Native American Populations. J1 and J2 is Arabs and Jews. (I1 is most likely Dan and I2 resembles the movements of the tribe of Asher)
Of course there is also the Cohen modal haplotype of J1 P58 as well which identifies the IJ lineage of Hebrews and Arabs that are descended from Arphaxad. J2 M172 is the largest group of descendants probably of the House of the kings David and Solomon. Now you know a lot more of what is verified human history.
Neanderthals were Eurasians descended from Japheth and Denisovans are a mix of Eurasians and Canaanites and or Cushites descended from Ham.
LOL! Is this some kind of satire? "Grandsons of Noah".😂😂😂
What a buffoon!
@@chrisgrill6302 How many original ancient civilizations can you name?
fitting that you have 'jargon' in your name. what utterly incomprehensible twaddle.
Disrespectful to the dead
Digging up bodies to grind for fertilizer, tossing the opposite side’s bodies down wells, yanking out the teeth of any dead soldiers to make dentures leaving people to die alone, that kind of thing is disrespectful. These people’s bones are being carefully handled. No one is being disrespectful of them. The badgers aren’t evil either. “From dust we came to dust we will return.” I find Archeological work like this to be very respectful.
Wokery
Huh?
Learning is "wokery" now is it? LOL.
He was lowered into the grave via his arms and legs, which is why his arms are over his head.
