I love at the beginning when Tony and Phil check out the flint mine and Tony speaks of the bulb of percussion on one of the stones. Years of contact with the King of Flint, Phil, has rubbed off. Love it!

[@ChrizRockster]

Then he goes and misses the roundhouse at 10:17 - taking him back to the drawing board!! Haha.

I love when Phil says "soon you'll be addicted to flint like me," and Tony shut that down with a quickness.

Phil would love the Flint Hills in Kansas, lots of finds all over. Walk creek beds and find all kinds of flint weapon heads, scraping tools, knives, petrified mammoth bones, bison bones, etc…

[@titarutledge431]

I was just going through my collection of sharks teeth and to my surprise I found 25 tiny flint and obsideon (?) arrowheads! I would not have recognized how important this was if not for Phil. They are probably for birds by their size..1/2" and smaller. Some look like Christmas trees and some are Eiffel tower shape and a few are like tiny three pointed throwing stars. Beautiful smalls I collected sitting on the beach in the Keys of Florida. Thank you time team for teaching us!

[@bethbartlett5692]

😘 me too,l! But I love it when the "Standards of Science and Research" are followed. Mainstream Archaeologists don't really do this and it affects the story, almost every time. (You can't hold a Theory as your foundation if Fact. The 19th Century Darwinian Theory is Theory, and it isn't gaining any strong support from any venue. It will be retired 8n the near future and along with toy the Paradigm they created around it and its linear Timeline. That will open the top on Everything History! It will be a delicious feeling of finding the truths and they will be wonderful. Not restricted by narrow minds clinging to a story that has been their idea of reality. That's sad for them but far greater for the whole of Humanity. 😘 G0 IRISH!!! 🍀

As a mechanic who went into engineering, I find the radar cart to be poorly designed. There's no reason it couldn't have larger wheels. You just use a drop axle. That would allow the sensors in the radar to be close to the ground but still having much larger wheels. You see the same thing on poorly designed for lawn mowers. The radar card was probably designed by electrical or electronic engineers. The frame and wheels should have been designed by a mechanical engineer.

[@urituba6993]

A drop axle eh? What, kinda like this 0-_-0 ? I enjoyed ur comment v much btw.

[@Libbathegreat]

You're right. The creators of this equipment never envisioned it being dragged across terrain like that. It was developed for finding pipes, services and cavities under lawns and other flat ground. I don't know enough about it to say whether the type of rig you're suggesting might interfere with their readings on certain machines. That said, this episode aired over a decade ago; hopefully they've made some improvements since.

[@GordonjSmith1]

A 'raider' community was actually my first thought, 'defensive' yes, but rather to 'defend' the bullies from those they were stealing from. With so few resources on the headland, how could such a community sustain itself? From an 'economics' point of view, each house must have been expensive as the resources to build them had to come from further and further distances, and be very well built to withstand the weather conditions. Additionally as the raiders continued to 'raid' they would have needed to travel further to find cattle herds to steal. Very interesting 'dig' which again creates more excellent questions! Love it!

[@lorrainearmstrong7587]

'Bullies' and 'victims' can be used virtually interchangeably. IF you are the one being 'bullied' then you are a victim. Occasionally, victims also bully the bullies. Strictly out of self defense LOL

[@faithlesshound5621]

Robbery is a zero-sum game for society as a whole. Once Ireland developed kings who ruled more than their own hill fort, it must have made sense for them to agree to stamp out cattle raiding, which needlessly wasted property and lives. Much like our police forces today try to stop gang warfare, rather than let the gangs wipe each other out.

[@Libbathegreat]

@@faithlesshound5621 I'm not sure whether cattle raiding did get stamped out, at least back in those days. There was so much romanticizing and mythologizing around it, I wonder whether it might have become a sort of ritualized time-honored tradition in more stable periods. Sort of the way neighboring villages keep rugby rivalries alive for generations as a form of sublimated and (relatively) bloodless warfare. Really it's anyone's guess, I just happen to like mine :)

Great episode. Though I can't help but wonder what changes there have been to the local climate and landscape over the course of those 4000 years. Somehow I suspect that both were somewhat different at that time of the settlement, but I do wish they had actually mentioned what it actually was so I wouldn't have to speculate. However, it was already a rather packed episode as it was and perhaps it was impossible to squeeze something like that in.

actually thats a sad disease historians and archaeologists have "dont understand what it is? Ceremonial!" It is too easy to dismiss mystery that way and it completely ignores the fact that throughout history, people have done seemingly pointless things for reasons other then ceremony or religion. Art and decoration are reasons in themselves, for instance. But somehow it seems like they think art for arts sake only started around the late middle ages or smth.

[@Iazzaboyce]

@@pathwanderer1183 Far too much supposition in these areas. Many academics seem to think their ideas are somehow fact. It's a mental disorder of sorts and leads to bad results. The truly intelligent and balanced mind can reason there is insufficient evidence to form a factual explanation.

@@pathwanderer1183 "ceremonial" is a very broad term. At one end of the scale, sitting down to eat together with your family is a ceremony of sorts, just as a coronation or a state funeral is.
