The Buried Roman Mining Town Hidden Under North Wales | Time Team | Odyssey

The team descend on the village of Ffrith in North Wales to discover if it is built on the remains of a Roman mining town. The main street runs along the route of Offa's Dyke. The dig involves excavating two gardens and the playing field, but the team are frustrated in their attempts to find a Roman bath house. The team are joined by archaeologist Chris Martin and historian David Mason.

    You've made my afternoons after a long day so much better. Having consistent, high quality uploads of these documentaries is one of the highlights of my evenings. Channels like yours abolish the need for cable. Keep up the good work.

    I know how Phil felt when he came upon those bricks in his way. I was living in a rented apartment at the back of a storage warehouse that had a small yard. I decided to put in a garden. My shovel only went down 3 inches and hit bricks. The entire yard was paved with them! I found out it used to be the parking area for warehouse office workers and I was living in their old offices.

    Who dug the original trench in the 1960's? I'm sure the senior archaeologists are no longer alive, but they probably had some assistants who are alive. You should have had them come and give first hand accounts of their dig...

    Given that mineworkers in the Imperial Roman period were more than likely slaves, often sentenced to the mines, I'd not really expect any permanent structures...like the poor people sentenced to the mines, the buildings would have probably been disposable.

    When you have two walls come together in a j hook. Is that because they started both walls at the same time, and found when they got to the corner that they didn't line up?
