Extremely interesting, I made a video on this site after watching the Findings from the University of Aberdeen during the dig in 2015, amazing work to all involved 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Another outstanding and highly informative episode in what must be considered a landmark series, one in which not only the extremely knowledgeable experts, but the large army of enthusiastic volunteers can be appreciated. The series continues to be presented by the ever capable and equally knowledgeable Prof, Alice Roberts, adding, whenever necessary her own specialty in osto-archeology to the mix - absolutely splendid in every way :)

I have to agree about Matt. More recognition is deserved!

[paulmaddison]

i hated history at school..it was only several years after i left that i realised i actually love history .

[simonartley]

The Picts and their history seems fascinating and while much may be unknown that can make it all the more interesting .
Im originally from North Yorkshire and also studied about the Picts and earlier history while at Aberdeen University.

[alanconnors]

The discoveries are all so intriguing. I'd binge watch episode after episode if I could. Thank you Alice and all.

Alice is my favorite history person/teacher! Sorry this seems like I only speak in Iron Age….

A common ritual--- "Mum.... I broke the antler off my deer skull again" "Well dear, just toss it in the rubbish with the other broken skulls and I'll get you a new one tomorrow".

Love seeing Matt but he deserves a role worthy of his experience, imo.

[jodyknight]

I eagerly await each one of these episodes!!

Each time I see evidence of ancient religion, I am convinced that these people believed in their religion every bit as much as those who believe in religion today. Personally, I don't believe in any religion. But I am amazed at how modern religions have no respect for those who came before.

[Squarepeg]

Absolutely fascinating! Great programme thanks!

[JoJo-of]

Just love Alice, I’m hoping she will come and tell me a bedtime story some day !

[fester]

The necklace looks like a good representation of lineage record keeping.

[digdoon]

Looking at the pendant it looks a little bit like Ogam on some of the lines, could this be the earliest form of writing?

[sheilajudd]

Fasinating as I am currently reading Buried (a Christmas gift) and Arras and other locations connect with this book. Thank you.

Wish they would have been able to show the cleaned up Cross and it’s chain….
