You are a gem Dani! Thank you so much for these very clear explanations about finds that are frequently shown but rarely explained in depth as you have here. Very very Informative and filled in all sorts of gaps for me. Please more of these long programs from you. A very long term Time Team fan and Patreon supporter.
Thanks a lot, Dani, for again such an informative and enthusiastic story about people living there through the ages. I am looking forward each time to the next story! 😘✨
Dani is such a treat. Her enthusiasm just beams from her, her engaging way of explaining things is wonderful. It's brilliant how the new Time Team, with fan sponsorship, can do so much more than ever before. Longer and deeper episodes, behind the scenes nuggets, these shorts on interesting finds, interviews with the archaeologist... just brilliant. Loving it!
Thank you so much for this extra insight into some of the fascinating items found! Really appreciate how this new RU-vid-based format is allowing for more indepth exploration of context, ongoing post-dig research etc.
I love this - paying special, extra, attention to specific finds! We get to learn more about the pieces themselves plus we get to learn more about how these bits and pieces fit into and flesh out the greater picture. Thank you!
I love this follow up ! I love seeing the photos of restoration of pots and other items showing exactly how they were used. Thank you for the amazing follow up !
I just happen to have the 'subtitles' on during Dani's commentary...loved the way shale is used to make omelettes. Who'd have guessed! That aside, all very interesting, Thanks
I absolutely love this in depth look and description of the artifacts! Thank you so much for sharing your love of ancient history, and for including us on this grand adventure!
Loved this one! My grandmother and my mother, I remember both used the irons. Alongside the old wringers for getting the clothes less wet before hanging on the clothesline. Fascinating also about the burning shale. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all! ❤️🌈🍀🙏🏻😇❣️
Extraordinary finds! My favorite has to be Pan. The complete analysis of the Bronze Age pot should be exciting to get. So much love 💕 to the Time Team❤
My great grandmother (1870 to 1957) lived in Stepney London UK.and was a tailors presser in . She had several different flat irons of different weights and sizes to use on different weights of cloth. Pressing cloths were of thicker or finer cloth and she had several wooden bangers, that also matched the cloth of the garment, used to bang out the steam after pressing. She was banned from using my grandmother"s electric iron after she broke the first one using it like s flat iron. Ie with a lot of force.
Dani, thank your expert hind sight into some of the finds discovered at Boden Vean Fogou. This history of all of them is just fascinating to me, to have things found, that look so simple and yet have such a history. Thank you for sharing.
I remember my mother using a box iron when I was a child, some sixty odd years ago. She probably had two or three, so she always had a hot iron to work with when ironing. I now feel like a piece of 'archaeology' myself.
Really interesting! I'm familiar with solid pre-electric irons (flat-irons) but hadn't encountered box irons before? The weight of them would be great (in my experience modern irons are often too light to get washing wrinkles entirely out of cotton or linen even with lots of steam) but getting temperature right & keeping it there seems like it'd be a majpr challenge, even with the standard "spit test"!
@@annastevens1526 Now You made me think and search the web for pictures. Didn't help much. I'm pretty sure I remember relatively tall irons in which my mother inserted hot material. The irons stood on the big stove(AGA or similar, oil fueled) in the middle of the kitchen, seemed to be very heavy and I had to keep clear of them. This might be one of my oldest memories going back to the second half of the fifties.
We have something similar that my mom has used as a door prop since I was small. It isn’t a box one though. I guess this kind came after… it is all iron, handle and all. I suppose was heated on the range then a rag wrapped around the handle so it was useable. I remember playing with it when I was little sliding it around pretending to iron 😂
Samian ware looks like the inspiration for Wedgwood jasperware. The “woman dancing with the scarf” looks like a scene from the villa of the mysteries in Pompeii
The "box" iron is still used in the US. It's usually used by the religious group known as the Amish and can be bought from a shop in Ohio called Leman's. Though it's called a sad iron.
I bought a vintage (50s-60s) electric flat iron at an estate sale a few years ago and it irons/presses better than just about any modern iron I have ever used--i can see why Karl's grandmother refused to switch to the new-fangled ones when the older one works just as well or better!
I have a kerosene powered iron that belonged to my great granny. I also have some solid metal ones that you heated on the stove that was her's. Got a good giggle out of going to the museum to see one. I'm 42 and remember her still using the metal ones, well after she had electricity in her house. She never did like an electric iron.
Can't do patreon but am able to send a boat load of coffee. I wish to volunteer to do a special series on Norway's history. Including visits to churches, cathedrsls , historial museums, and truly more than is ' mentionable " at the moment. Envision this as being stunning. Have done some research already . This medium is slightly difficult as a means of communnicatin but in the event that you are intersted, and should you search gabriel / namsos, you WILL find me. Domains take take priority! In you r honour we shall at the earliest opportunity, brew up 22 literes of the 'black stoff' Cheers, Captain Gabriel, Bouvier M.A. Sense of humor included. Takk så mykket, all mulig slags takk skal dere ha ,vi "tåler' dænsk etc. Typos eradicatd.
When I was a kid we had no electricity (we lived far off in the countryside) My mum used an Amber Iron. It's all about blowing gently on the clean clothes in front of the Iron, so they stay clear of ashes and sparks. But now that I saw the video, I recon it wasn't the best alternative.
Dearest Dani, Your absolute love for Your profession radiates from Your adorable face. Thank you for bringing some Joy to my day with this fascinating update !:-) 💜🙏⚡️
That's how my great grandma did hers.My grandmother said the same thing when I watched.those stone tools you showed in passing look virtually identical to the Paleo and archaic tools I pick up
Interesting, but I would have assumed the iron object was a plough point, especially found in that context (A field). Why is it thought to be an iron? Similarly, Samian ware would have been easier to make as a disc of clay, then pressed into a split mould and then placed on a shape to dry and then fire, far faster and easier. Bracelets have often been coloured in the past, with lacquers, even oiled with perfumes. Shale would be a good medium as it is semi absorbent, wood can be used too, but would not last long in the soil.
I am curious as to why they say that it is a face mask being held by Pan on that bit of samian ware...Looks far more like panpipes to me! The shape is a rectangle, and a bit long for a mask...I'm not seeing eyeholes either.
If we didn't know what it was ( my Mum would have used these), how would anyone have worked out what this piece of iron was? I pity the archaeologists of the distant future trying to work out such an object.
We call them celts here in the US... well at least the professional archeologists do. They are not good for chopping trees as evidenced by the Time Team video.
I've seen a flat iron used but I didn't pay a lot of attention. Maybe 30 years ago. Same person may still be using it. She's a waste not want not green type.
Strewth Bruce, the aborigines didn't have metal. And even when metal arrived do you really think stone use was just stopped? Stone was still used well into the Bronze Age here in Pommie land, market forces were a thing even back then. But yes it can be proven that the axe was of a certain age range, as like modern cars, the design and even the workmanship changed, stone axes of the Bronze Age weren't up to Neolithic standards. Anyway toodle pip old bean. I have to make my tea as the butler is on his break.
So, possible evidence that Australian aborigines secretly visited England during Roman times or perhaps even up to Elizabeth? Wouldn't that be something!
Interesting, but way to much talking head and not enough visuals. I don't need, or want, to watch the narrator talking. If you're going to do that; take note of experts like Mr. David Attenborough.
I loved seeing excited Gus at 13:00. (Also, the shale object that’s a disk with a central hole looks like either a loom weight or a spindle whorl. I hope it is. )
Metal detector folks should get more credit. Archeologist seem to steal the thunder from finds made by Metal detector people without even a mention of the persons name.
