The more of these I watch the more I think Tony’s job description is just ‘antagonize Phil Harding’ 😂😂

@SecondTake123 2 года назад

@karenklnck1377 Год назад

Tony's job is to provide a worthy foil so the pedants can give the audience knowledge without sounding pedantic and boring. This works well when he 'antagonizes' them and they can yell at him and display the knowledge necessary to make sense of things. And they're having a great time doing it. There's one episode where they're clearing brush out of a dig site, and Phil informs someone there he can put a large branch anywhere he likes--then realizes what he said, and tries to glare at the other man. (Except that they're both trying not to laugh...)

As soon as I saw that road I immediately thought of the bronze age roads (trackways) all over England and the presumably ceremonial Neolithic cursus (ditches) that connected (or align with solstices) some of the earliest barrows around 3600 BC. There were many of these just like there are monuments but most are incomplete or totally erased via farming. They were huge earthworks at the time and now they're practically invisible.

They've done it occasionally on the show, and it worked pretty well. I can understand avoiding the usage on areas with intense winds, but not just heavy rains.

@007vsMagua 3 года назад

Just like our freeways have on and off ramps to get our cheeseburgers it makes sense to me the Roman's might have wanted easy access to to the baths and have more privacy away from all the commotion of the main highway. The road is a detour along the main road and probably closed to foot soldiers and the common rabble.

That’s not how Roman roads worked. Especially not with wide built, surfaced (multi layered) with ditches. Please develop even the most basic knowledge before you pronounce. Thanks.

@dennisnicholson952 3 года назад

Hey, folks, I love your channel. Seeing the difficulties and triumphs of actual field archaeology is eye opening. As for what the gentleman on the copter said, his remarks about Roman roads following the lay of the land reiterates what I have heard elsewhere in that the builders would even go up and down fairly steep grades and not resort to such means as cuts or fills. Is this accurate?

@Cooper_42 2 года назад

You have to remember this was a television show with a number of episodes (and therefore related digs) scheduled for months in advance. If the Weather was bad at a site, they couldn’t just hang on for a few extra days because that would affect subsequent filming at other sites. Also, the people involved in the show had other jobs and responsibilities, so they couldn’t take an extra day or two on a site no matter how interesting it was

@yashistampedes5849 2 года назад

it would have been nice if they had explained why Romans buried the dead along side roads. i had to go look up why and learned they were buried alongside roads outside of cities most likely to prevent diseases spreading form decaying corpses. the dead reflected wealth and poor. if you were poor you were lain into the ground alongside the roadside as in a paupers grave. if you were rich you were buried in the family mausoleum alongside the road. you were either cremated or buried fully in tact. ironically cremation was an costly process associated with the wealthy using expensive and ornate burial vessels.

Every find is duly noted, where the archeology that is discovered is of significance it is uplifted, the site is plotted out correctly any skeletons found will be removed and sent to the museum for further study and maybe re-interred at a later date in consecrated ground then a full report is written up and recorded, these can be perused at Wessex Archeology about the excavation. As this is a scheduled area digging can only been done with the say so from British Historic Trust, the site is backfilled.
