I used to love watching Julian's Meet the Ancestors.

To those concerned about the excavation of graves - be aware that actual grave robbers operate in the UK, in the form of 'nighthawkers' - unscrupulous people with metal detectors, usually operating at night. I suspect that first dig in the Cotswolds was for just that reason - I remember a similar dig in a later episode where predation by nighthawkers was cited as a reason for excavation. Once word got out - those graves would have been destroyed by criminals, with all knowledge of the past lost. Far better to learn about those who went before...

Complete and utter nonsense, metal detectors don't go that deep not to mention this site would have never been found if it was for detectorists who make a massive contribution to archelogy in the UK, many artifacts would be lost for ever if it wasn't for the hobby.

@@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo Every story has multiple sides. Yes, predatory metal detectorists exist. No, not all or even most metal detectorists are predatory. Yes, metal detectorists are a vital part of the archeological ecosystem. No, a site with valuable goods is not "safe" if it is well known/publicized but not monitored. Ironically, while the graves in question might not have been in danger from predatory actors of all types _before_ the site was on national television, it most certainly would have been afterward. Since I don't know all the facts, it's hard to say here, but I'd remind everyone that the truth is most often found between the two extremes.

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).

A truly spellbinding documentary. I have such mixed feelings about the digging up of bodies.

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.

Depends on a lot of factors. If the burial is undisturbed and unthreatened by destruction, they usually won't even lift the bones. They will record what they find and rebury in-situ. In some cases the bones are taken away for scientific analysis and reburied later. In special cases the bones will be kept for future study. There has to be an academic justification for this though. In this day and age, nobody wants to keep old bones for the sake of keeping them if there is nothing unusual about the burial.

I think the beads were put in by a grieving mother! And the sword by a grieving father.

tanks would apply a similar pressure per area, as the infantryman who follow them

How old does a burial have to be for there to be no respect for the dead?

The stuff in that cave is a lot older than they think...

The Dunwich Horror...

Because it was a graveyard before the area was eroded over millenia.

To protect it from those rouge archaeologists out there. 😠.

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.

I really wish they would document everything then put it all back where that person was buried with all their items. Treat them with respect and reverence. The actual items can be x-rayed, MRI, photos and a mold copy. Why do they have to put it all in a box in a storeroom?

I think that evey field in England has some history

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.

Oh right, thats where I put those! Sorry, my bad.

“Eroding backward” as opposed to eroding forward?

These burials are really fascinating, BUT I can never completely feel comfortable about digging up someone’s grave and poking around their possessions. It’s a FREAKING gravesite, forCRYING OUT LOUD!That is sacred. I’d be out for blood if somebody dug up my husband‘s grave and started poking around his things. I mean this woman is looking at this glass bowl and they make the comment, “gosh, this could be even from the Roman times and an heirloom.” a private and treasured possession of this human being, carefully placed with him when he was laid to rest! Yet they’re totally OK with taking it. Kind of sickening when you think of it like that. So yeah I’m sorry I just can’t get past it. What’s really creepy is I recently saw a video of someone’s clothes taken off their corpse, put the corpse back in their burial spot but keep the clothes and put them on display at a museum. And I’m not talking about ancient ancient ancient grave, I’m talking about one that was in the 16th century AND they knew who it was, yet they still thought that it was perfectly OK to take their clothes and stick them in a museum. I’m sorry. That is a completely disgusting thing to do. I mean, how long does a person have to be dead before their burial items become “fair game“? So gross! It really cracked me up when the guy goes, “yeah we’re the only people that’s looked at this guy and his stuff since the day he was buried. I’m just can’t help but feel emotional!“ Yeah sure buddy. wasn’t emotional enough of an experience to stop you from grave robbing.
