Is This The Best Archeological Find Of The 21st Century? | Digging for Britain | Unearthed History

Alice Roberts and the team are looking at the best archeolgical discoveries from the East of Britain. Must Farm is one of the best preserved Bronze Age sites in Britain, so much so that it is even referred to as 'Britain's Pompeii'. From complete roundhouses to glass beads, the archeological implications about the Bronze Age that can be gleamed from this site are endless. Could this be one of the most exciting finds of our lifetime?

When Prof. Roberts says... " This is where archeology gets really exciting for me... forcing us to confront our expectations.. it's going to make us change our minds.".
I'm just an amateur student of archeology... but I couldn't agree more.

I love that we can put away the idea that humans were not grunting Stone Age warriors. These discoveries and stories make me realize that people have been much more sophisticated than earlier thought (and taught). Thank you from New York, USA.

Not only is she a brilliant anthropologist, but she brings it to a point where even someone with minimal education in these fields, like myself, can understand it. Thanks Dr. Roberts!

If I was 20 years younger I’d study Archeology and move to The UK! I got hooked watching Time Team, and the US doesn’t have the endless history like the United kingdom

[andrewdowns]

It is always a pleasure to listen to Prof. Alice

It is so exciting to see the archaeologists getting actual joy from the things they are finding.

This episode was the most astonishing & exciting to watch & that’s no shade to other episodes at all. I was utterly engrossed from the start & even speaking aloud the same words as they were said on screen. To the burned roundhouse that so much of their household items were lost in the fire & the loss of them the hardship of the people to Christian people buried in carved out trees. The seventh century bed burials of highly regarded women of faith that didn’t need a man or marriage and had important work to do all the way through to our “Thane” & Alfred the Great being on the same coin and yet in recorded history in the chronicles being changed by the finding of the silver hoard by the intrepid & persistent (nothing for 5 hours) metal detector man was so amazing. To see the coin and jewellery that was obviously telling the story of the alliance between them was gobsmacking!!!! Thanks Alice & everyone else, I love digging for Britain. I don’t comment usually but sending *virtual hugs* all the way from Perth Western Australia ❤

This is older than I thought! However, I've never heard of either a bed, or tree burial! Every day's a school day!

The old team was so good. I miss them. Their interactions were formed over years of close work together and it showed.

[johntucker]

With the details of the roundhouse you are revealing their humanity bring the connection closer

Unearthed history is one of the best archeology channels, every time I get a new video notification I go rushing to watch it knowing something new and incredible to learn about will be on every video.

Can't get enough of archeology shows. Keep them coming!

[MrTorleon]

Well, isn`t this marvelous, another splendid episode in this outstanding series. In retrospect, Time Teams self imposed time limitation of three days per dig placed serious impediments on their ability or expectations of making making a major discovery.
The success of this series, by contrast, is in each dig making a film record on a daily basis, which could then be edited, as each dig would last far longer than three days, and then the results incorporated into an hour long episode - a terrific concept, and one that British archeology has gained a heightened profile and a substantial following - including me :)
Prof. Alice Roberts leads a team of highly qualified presenters to make each discovery easily understood, and, invariably, exciting

[ruththinkingoutside.]

Do we get a Phil sighting in this one too!!? That’s awesome! 😁

[marvellousmarvin]

Thank you Alice for another bit of history 👍❤

What an amazing discovery of the Viking period coins. Coins from this period are rather scare and expensive for collectors. You can for example get nice Roman coins from 500-700 years earlier for as little as $20-50, but Anglo-Saxon and Viking coins tend to go for $1000 or more each!

[craigjones]

I'm a Canadian far removed, and still I watch as soon as I'm notified.

[raymondsmyth]

For all our modern day accomplishments we are so naive when it comes to evaluating our past those poor simple souls that lead to our existence. This is the best archeological series of all time, as we are shown all the people involved from dedicated excavators to superb experts and great amateurs but who brews the tea and coffee? Leave no one out congrats to all involved.Thanks from a future ancestor.

[giovanni]

Best presentation ever would include Lucy Worsley and Dr. Alice Roberts collaborating on some profound Tudor discoveries that have come to light. PLEASE!

[MickRiley]

I just love these new finds and often wonder what else is to be found on these great Isles
