Why Are There Human Bones Sticking Out Of This Cliff? | Digging for Britain

To those concerned about the excavation of graves - be aware that actual grave robbers operate in the UK, in the form of 'nighthawkers' - unscrupulous people with metal detectors, usually operating at night. I suspect that first dig in the Cotswolds was for just that reason - I remember a similar dig in a later episode where predation by nighthawkers was cited as a reason for excavation. Once word got out - those graves would have been destroyed by criminals, with all knowledge of the past lost. Far better to learn about those who went before...

Its really nice to see the enthusiasm of the people in this field. they all seem so energetic and excited to be doing this. Really wholesome and sweet

I am constantly amazed that some viewers criticize on unimportant aspects despite the amazing information shown.

Dr. Alice put your heart and talent to create this video so perfect, love your beautiful personality, and everything about you is so unique and attracts the eyes and captivates the mind in an inexplicable way. They are intelligent and value scientific knowledge, and doing great for the soul. Congrats. Much thanks from St. Louis, Missouri. 🇺🇸🦅

Really interesting series. Could do without the sudden stupid extremely annoying loud adverts which start without warning. Mute button, and 'skip' at the ready.

I adore the shirt "Possible Ritual Use" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

In England, Sir Walter Scott's romantic literature restored the dignity of the Saxons and, in a way, stimulated the development of both historiography and archeology. Echoes of this can be seen in Brazil. First in the romantic literature of José de Alencar, who later encouraged the study of indigenous societies and the archaeological sites they left in Brazilian territory. But no one produces TV programs like this in Brazil. Here the memory needs to be buried because there are still landowners who covet indigenous territories, invade it to cut wood, extract gold, etc... Businessmen like Elon Musk bought tons of gold criminally extracted from indigenous territories during the Bolsonaro government. Even today there is a well-structured political right that propagates hatred against Indians and encourages organized violence against them. These conflicts do not exist in England, but I suspect that the proliferation of programs like this serves another purpose: to divert the population's attention from the distributive conflicts caused by neoliberalism to concentrate income. The same problem (the institutionalized greed of the rich) produces the same results through different devices (erasure of memory in Brazil, overexploitation of the past in England).

Very nice,i hope this never stops.

Love Alice Robert’s!
