This is absolutely stunning! Imagine, these bones belong to people who once walked around and lived on this earth!

[@hobbelundahl6249]

That is why I do not want to be cremetad. I want explorers to find me twothousand years from now and examine my body and realise how stupid we were.

[@archangel807]

Imagining the love that would have worked those stone coffins for a burial....all by primitive hand......

[@silliaek]

Great episode, which touched on the choices they had to make versus just descending on some place for 3 days and then leaving

[@robertneven7563]

Alice Roberts is AMAZING

[@marypasco2213]

Would like to be able to do things like this. Watching is all I can do now. Biggest 'thing' that were to happen, working with all those accents, is I would start sounding just like them!

Fantastic video

[@Jerbod2]

great film!

My River recently took 25 (horizontal) foot of cliff face from my backyard. Quite a lot of that land slumped into the river, and there are trees with dirt packed root balls 20 (vertical) foot down the cliff. While the ocean is perhaps more destructive than a raging river, It makes sense that much of what was “lost” in this erosion may remain at the bottom of the cliff.

Didn't Time Team cover this already?

[@lianefehrle9921]

I think all of these graves should’ve been dug up and reburied. If not they sure would be lost in say 50 years.

[@gregedmand9939]

How do you descend onto archeological site, with just a few days to do an assessment? Follow the Time Team model, without using the name. When was this recorded: 2010 or there abouts?

If you look at 49:07 they give credit to Tim Taylor who devised the idea for Time Team. They wanted a team of skilled ladies to inspire other young women. I think Time Team did a nice job with sharing skillsets of women and men.

Interesting Wish there was more actual excavation done

[@gregorahler]

Was this a re-upload I'm having memberberries

[@randomvintagefilm273]

How fast is that beach head eroding?

[@hobbelundahl6249]

Where I used to live in Sweden the eroding has past 50 meters the last therty years... So say a meter per year...

[@sirensynapse5603]

Is it possible that empty graves are indicitative of people rising from the dead; i.e. zombies?

[@user-Mike755]

Imagine if these bone didn’t belong to someone who walked this earth or they came from the future.

[@marybeckham4495]

% of collapse?

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

I would like to know what it is that you keep calling "corn"? Corn was not available in Europe, and therefore Britain, until the 17th century. So what is it that you are referring to as "corn"?

[@archeanna1425]

Corn is grain in English.

[@archangel807]

Saxon christians....long before the Vikings invaded....

[@cathybenson5119]

Too much talking. I couldn't watch more than a quarter of this video. I wanted to see the actual excavation. 😢
