Archaeologists Investigate An Ancient Sunken Settlement | Digging For 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

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.

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!

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’s amazing how archaeologists are still learning from the past, still lot to learn, fantastic episode 👍🏽

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.

Archaeology is amazing.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺

@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.

Love the t-shirt, brilliant!

Our ancestors abilities are underestimated,always seems like they get the short end.

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

Love these ❤❤

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!)

Great to note that the Roman boundaries have persisted as field hedgerows

Wonderful, thank you.

I love watching you Alice

Series 8, Episode 3, SOUTH.

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?

Awesome

Very interesting 😊
