The Ancient Graves Found On A Welsh Cliff | Extreme Archaeology | Absolute History

In south west Wales the chance discovery of ancient coffins weathering out of a cliff face entice the team to examine who the graves belong to and how many people are actually buried in the area. As evidence is uncovered many of the team go through strange emotions as the truth about the site is revealed.

Im an american and ive been watching so much of these history shows from england, that the american accent sounds foreign to me.

I’m an American and I watch so many of these shows now ! It’s cool to me because these are my ancestors too!

This program started in 2004, some of these are really old. I think this particular episode was from 2004 also.
Alice is now Professor Alice Roberts. I love the programs Alice has done since. Britain’s most Historic Towns is a good example. It’s also here on YouTube if you’re interested in history programs etc.
Thanks for the upload 🐿👍

Love that dome. It is much better than one of the rectangular tent for shedding wind. I wonder what the coastline looked like when the graves were constructed. Were the people fishermen or farmers, or both?

I am an American raised on an off base in Germany. I love English history. I have been to England several times. I was surprised when I found my birth father he was an English history professor after he retired from the military. I could watch English history everyday.

It's neat, the layered readout she uses to see the coffins underground looks a lot like the musculoskeletal ultrasound screens we look at to guide needles for procedures and things.

"Cleared the cliff face of vegetation"? The stuff actually keeping the cliff face from eroding even faster?

[celticphoenix]

Question: When excavated bones with no identifying information are reinterred, what is inscribed on the grave marker? Excavated burial from x location dated to y year containing z remains? Or something different?

As an American who's been binging on Time Team lately, hearing Meg's accent was a surprise 😅

[feefee]

“We don’t want to destabilize the cliff edge as much as possible”, they say as they remove all the brush holding the cliff edge together... 😂 umm sure

They all make a great team. I really enjoyed this video. All are so knowledgeable

[tmoigor]

WOW I am glad I found this video, very informative and yet sad about the baby's grave. I think I like this more so than the normal time team fare.

[Metonymy]

The new Time Team. Without that amazing historical artist.

i love this type of stuff thank you so much for putting it up. but Chrst what a lot of commercials seems like every two minutes.

I recently had a similar experience. I would like to point out however that although Wales is part of Great Britain, they are most certainly not English.

Are these bones being dna tested and the results shared with gedmatch for us genealogy dna researchers?

[Blessings.]

What I think of relatives had to go and find pieces of stone to do the job of forming the graves. This Flores me, to go out with that on your mind. The heart wrenching emotion of the mother and the family, my goodness . Where they praying saying a rosary ? I always know it’s never finished as there are always more questions, there are always more questions.

Do any of these ladies have their own YouTube channel as well?

[nutsforbeauty]

Oh my goodness. Where in Pembrokeshire? My husband and I used to walk in the national parks of southwest Wales.

Looks like rocks and dirt but it's so much more.
