Greetings from Florida in the USA. I’ve been following this series “Digging Britain” for quite awhile now, and this episode is one of the most fascinating that I’ve seen! 👍 & Subscribed

I'm in Tennessee and love the archeology Britain has! Super jealous but Dr. Alice Roberts is amazing. I know she's much older than me but she's a very beautiful and intelligent woman. I enjoy her voice most of all, calming yet builds the stories up in a way no other can, other than Sir Tony lol.

I'm fascinated by archeology. I'm not sure what I'll study but archeology is a definite contender.

Ive heard Native American elders refer to rocks as "the bones of our ancestors," which I always found quite poetic, and in terms of the Earth's elegantly efficient natural systems of recycling, rather accurate. Love this show. Alice Roberts is the bomb. )

Funny, you're spot on with the diet I'm thinking. I went meat based diet 5 years ago. Turned my teeth right around. My dentist was puzzled how my teeth are getting better and better. She said she has never seen it before, a jaw getting stronger and more dense. I'm 60 and once thought dentures were in the near future, now I'm planning on keeping my teeth another 60.

I love that acoustic guitar theme. You can hear it at 1:30. It always makes me feel like I'm going on an adventure in the year 2010. There's something cozy and comforting about it.

I live approx 20 miles south of Hadrian's Wall in a little town called Alston. There's the remains of a Roman fort on the outskirts of the town called Epiacum, which has hardly been excavated. There's so much history around this location, such as a stone circle called ' Long Meg and her daughters', I find history so fascinating

Could the villa with the 97 babies have been a maternity hospital type location where mothers went to give birth and then recover? Was there such a thing as a midwife or doctor specialising in births (and possibly disposing of sickly or unwanted babies)? Whatever happened at that villa it's incredibly sad that so many full term or close to full term babies died. I can't help but imagine how those deaths were seen by parents, family and society... Were the people around them sad, grieving the loss of precious lives or were they giving their babies to gods to try to ensure that they had a harvest free from disaster? To me a baby is a miracle, someone to be treasured and protected. I can't imagine the heart wrenching feeling of giving birth one day and holding the baby only to then have it die/be killed... I'm just a big softy when it comes to kids. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot

I figured even back then a brothel would have some herbs to end a pregnancy earlier than waiting til birth. I also thought it could have been a hospital type place.

See the programme on ‘The Amesbury Archer’ (Digging for Britain?). They did exactly that and the results were a surprise and truly fascinating.

A theory regarding cave art- The colors represented the seasons The drawings, what they do during said seasons. So for example a black fire would mean that those people live in the cave during the winter where as a red deer meaning during the fall, they are out hunting. Consider it like an ancient answering machine "sorry we're out, if it's summer we're on the water, if it's the fall..." Etc.

Regarding the infant bones (too young to be gendered), could it be that they might be females, as with some current cultures, a male is preferred for familial financial benefits? Or maybe that the “common soldiery” (thank you ‘Life of Brian’) required replenishing with males?

Britain was the breadbasket of the Roman Empire? Where in the world did they get that nonsense? North Africa, and then Egypt supplied a majority of Rome's grain supply. Iberia contributed a good deal later. But cool, rainy Britain? Think about it.
