What Was Daily Life Like For A Medieval Peasant? | Time Team | Chronicle
Time Team archaeologists have dug up the best preserved medieval village in Britain. The distinctive grass-covered remains of the deserted medieval village of Ulnaby are a landmark in the Durham countryside, and although they've been photographed, surveyed, and written about, they've never been dug. What can Ulnaby and other lost villages like it tell us about normal life in Medieval Britain?

It’s so wild that previous centuries are basically swallowed up whole by the earth and we just blithely live right on top of them!

It seems so, afterall, they're finding Roman roads still in tact in some places where it was buried below another road, park, or new builds and excavations are finding them! 😊😊

Someday ours will also be swallowed up and succeeding generations will wonder about us😊
I love that the people are into digging up history in their own backyards and willingly seek out the experts to find out what is down there. One of many things I love about England, so many centuries of history!

If anyone's interested in the Medieval English peasantry and the Medieval countryside in general I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's social history playlist. It's plenty of stuff

Stewart Ainsworth never ceases to amaze me.
This video transported me back to medieval England and brought daily life in a village to life. The excavations at Alby Hall Farm were fascinating, especially the unexpected discoveries like the Tudor mansion. It's amazing to think about the people who lived there centuries ago.

Her knowing about the _lace end_ blew me away too, b/c I thought it was a nail. The girl deserves credit for being in the know. She must be an expert, dedicated to her field.

the people there are so friendly and nice. The history you guys have is amazing. We don’t have anything near that old here in the US besides maybe Arrowheads near where I’m at in Alabama. I think what you guys are doing is so cool

If you're interested, AL has the Moundville site. It was established in 1000 I think. It was the biggest city north of Mexico for a while there too. I think it was the site of one of the most powerful cities in what would become the US! I've wanted to visit but haven't made it that far yet. 🙂
Oh goody! Just my style. Dig away and see what's down there. Ancient Pensioner's Plots? 🤔🤗 I wish you could take your sweet time and not be rushing so. Rome wasn't uncovered in a day!
I would refer Schwerpunkt's social history album to everyone curious about the mediaeval English peasantry or the countryside during that time. There is a lot of material
looks great. will watch later. thank you
😊 We hope to visit England (London) in 3 years, my goal is to visit one area where archaeology work is in progress! ❤ On my bucket list. I've already been to Ellis Island and saw the Statue of Liberty about 10 years ago! 😊
Awesome! I'll be interested to see if the store bought peppers breed true or if they are hybrid. Even if they are hybrid, they will still produce. Might be very similar to the parent or they might be very different. Either way they will be a lot of fun.

I have ancestors from Wales. I wonder what they got up to back then.

Do you worry about plague in the soil? Or maybe the plague wasn't around back then? I've always been interested in medieval times.

The plague bacteria can only survive at best a year and that’s if it’s airborne. It is susceptible to drying out and uv light.

Maybe that mound was going to be some kind of fortification but was abandoned before it was completed?

What's crazy is they seem to be finding stuff a couple feet underground rather shallow
Oh, that biting cold of Great Britain.
What did mediaeval people think static electricity was?

With butter, cheese and baby milk now having security tags on in many English supermarkets I’d say there are still plenty of peasants in the country. Shame you never all got rich with voting Brexit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 only the rich got richer 😂😂😂😂

Really I couldn’t work with someone like Phil. He makes mistakes but other peoples mistakes are sooo much worse. He points at everyone. And his accent is just too annoying to listen to.
