Behind the Scenes: In the Field with Monticello Archaeology: Discovering Site 6

[@denisecaringer4726]

Fascinating. So well presented. I love seeing the sites themselves. Excellent job. Thank you.

[@johnoden2857]

Excellent presentation. Understanding the many complexities of Monticello is a very worthy endeavor. But always underneath there's this sense of Jefferson's unassailable mind presiding over an unjust system. At least your work brings back the human dimension of it.

[@ellenbeldean7442]

Very interesting video. Wonderful explanations of archeology techniques at Monticello.

Fascinating and I really appreciate all of the insights

[@myhappynest6125]

Wow, that was fascinating! Thank you so much for this education and all your hard work.

[@honeybee1888]

Excellent presentation. Clear, concise, interesting.

[@kevinchambers4848]

I agree, but sorry to hear all the young women speaking with "up talk" it makes them sound very unprofessional. So sorry this isn't corrected throughout the school system in the US.

Very informative and interesting-thank-you. I like that you let the people doing the work do the talking. I think they can genuinely convey their passion for the field and their findings. I wish I could have seen the Native American artifact a little better.

Not many native artifacts? Jefferson conducted a dig on a Native American burial mound near his home at Monticello. So that means there was a village there and would have been many items.

[@sophierobinson2738]

Jefferson would have kept any native artifacts. These were slave cabins, their things would have either been handed down from the big house, or made themselves or traded/sold.

[@writethisthat3613]

From Google satellite images of Monticello, it looks like there may be archaeology being conducted north of the West Lawn near the house? Does anyone know?

[@QIKWIA]

Thank you.

[@tyyoung8173]

Very informative. Wish the camera person would have zoomed in on the Native American artifact. I think she said it would have been used as an ax.

[@kelly3560]

I think I spotted pawpaw trees in your aerial of site 6.

Interesting how they both live different lives just based on location

The girl with the umms...🤦‍♀️

[@NewFoundPast]

Love the content. Several of you need to work on the ummms while speaking.

You need me and my metal detector..

[@miriamcohen7657]

Weird to refer to Mr. Jefferson as "Jefferson". Not tradition.

[@manax8775]

Remember that the next time you say, read, or hear the words Trump, Obama, Bush ,Carter or Biden. Read the paper today.

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

His name is Jefferson...

[@BeAConservative]

I notice that some of the people involved in the work are wearing masks. Unless this has something to do with the preservation of artifacts fine, otherwise I'm displeased to see them wearing masks in the outdoors where there is fresh air to breath. My hope is that this is not a requirement.

[@sophierobinson2738]

None of your business.

[@david6532]

just bloody p c crap as usual

[@lolodee3528]

Imagine wasting the time to text that..smfh.🤦🏼‍♀️

[@dangrease]

Wearing the mast is a symbol of a person’s solidarity with a belief system - similar to those who wear a cross.

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

Masks are the new swastika.

[@normanriggs848]

Anyone KNOW how well, or badly, Jefferson treated those poor slaves? We know how long he committed adultery with a female slave. Sorry, her name evades me.. Just curious!

[@mikekolczynski5665]

Sally Hemmings was her name.

[@normanriggs848]

@@mikekolczynski5665 Thank you!!

[@KMx108]

I found it interesting that the main house paid slaves for items they raised.

I love smoking hot archaeologists.
