The guy looks like Mark Twain.

sounds like long and tedious hard days , I'm so grateful I can buy cloth already woven and I don't have to grind my own wheat to have bread !

I wish I was born in those times to be honest

Beautifully explained 👍🇮🇳

Excellent

They never just cooked grain porridges? Seems much less work all around. The Scots fermented theirs for even more nutrition and a handy snack (kept well) They discovered soaking grains gave more nutrition and lessened cooking time/fuel needed too

Very cool!

Brilliant.

Man, you’ve got a great teaching cadence, immediately subscribed. Great way to learn about the Iron Age.

Brilliant

Im in the process of building my own round house and love your videos. I took your advice in the video and put the door facing east.

Wonderful. Our family had the opportunity to visit Durrington Walls in June. We walked over from Stonehenge. Not much to see there if you don't know what to look for, but once you see the enclosure, and realize it was constructed without metal tools, it is quite astounding. The reconstructed house is much more relatable. I can imagine living in it.

Great speaker- more of him, please.

Fascinating - thank you.

No tomatoes!

Wish you posted more roundhouse videos. I'm trying to build one

I think there's a type-o in the video title

Knowlton church and site.. a place of peace... imo

This is my purpose to build these in britain....

And then Rome got here. Damn them!

Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed this fascinating video.

This person looks 100% like a Celt. That's how I imagine them.

Wow! I've never seen one made with the oak before. That's a lot of skilled splitting to get that material. Iron nails too. Expensive compared to the wattle and daub ones. Still, how much would all of that cordage cost in the iron age? You could start making cordage in the fall and have enough ready by spring, ha ha. The ladies making yarn and thread and the men making cordage. MUCH better than TV.

Fantastic little hut!

I'd really like to see how you get those rods in the wattle when you get closer to the top. I tried slowing the video down and still didn't see it. Do you just slide them in horizontally? Also, do you notch the small roof rods at the wall or are you just tying them?

Beautiful!

Such a great teacher!

I wonder if they used that straw as mulch on their gardens. That's what I'd use it for. Any other great uses?

This one lasted 19 years. Long enough for all of the trees used to grow back. How long do you think one of these could possibly last in this climate? I'd be interested in hearing about what people did when it came time to rebuild anew. Did they build right next door and take the old one down? Did they just move in with other families while they were rebuilding? Id love to know what the archaeological research showed. Like if we found 7 on a hill fort, were there really only 6 families and that odd excavation was always one that was being replaced? So, when we find a 10 family iron age excavation, was it really 9 families? Is it even possible to know? I'm being super geeky here, sorry, but these things itch my brain, Ha ha. Any info would be so appreciated!

David "The Man on the Ladder" Freeman! Great stuff!

What a great appearance David! Fantastic show, Time Team. You've introduced me to Dr. Peter Reynolds with your videos and I'm off to find more of him :) Forever immortalized!

Even though I understand that sometimes the project needs to move or the structure is no longer considered safe, it's tough to watch one of these beautiful building burn. Great KZbin channel, Mr. Freeman!

Great videos! Thanks for going to all the trouble to share this stuff. It's fantastic!

Great job on that roundhouse! It must have taken a month to make. Also, I love Francis' Iron Age work. He's such a great guy!

This video is a treasure! Thank you!!!

The view of the top of the roof from inside is really cool!

Please remove this video. It is my copyright, Butser management have ignored my requests to remove my footage from this channel.

There's no wall plate. How could that wattle wall with just 25mm uprights support the weight of the roof?

too much string.

will not last as long as the old one ( twenty years volunteer dave the mower).

I love these videos! I can't really explain my intense interest in the western European Iron Age beyond possible heritage since I live in the US and never went to university, much less studied archaeology. But even since high school over 15 years ago when that interest was about the nebulous "Celts," I have enjoyed learning everything I could about these peoples and how they lived. I am so glad youtube can be a place where such experienced experts as yourself can share your knowledge with laypeople like me. Thank you!

Wassail to you and Butser.

Ƿes þu hal, freond. Remarkable! One can imagine what a game changer it would have been for our ancestors to discover and utilise that technology. How effective was the bone "chisel" in removing material from the interior of the log? I recently made a Spangenhelm and made a "dishing stump" (a dished form carved into a wooden stump) to form the curves in the quarter panels that fit into the banded frame. I watched a few videos courtesy of KZbin for basic instructions on how to make the helm, however, watching other people's videos can only get one so far. Ultimately, I was presented with a number of technical challenges that were never covered in the aforementioned videos, and at some point, it dawned on me that I was solving problems that our ancestors had had to solve some two or three thousand years ago! It was a truly strange and unusual experience, feeling somehow connected across a vast expanse of time, knowing that, like me, somebody had squatted in the dirt, next to a wooden stump, trying to predict how a hammer blow will move the sheet of Iron, to look for patterns in the blows, the direction and the force of the impact, etc. We in the modern world take so much for granted and forget that we stand on the shoulders of giants. Be well.

Seems to steer well, but did they use keels in those times?

Great trip - I envy you both. The music was just right too.

Music is too modern, David.

Looks great - if I lived closer I would bring the old Delphic coracle down to join in.

What stone was used for the rotary querns?, the only readily available stone where I live is sandstone or limestone.
