I’ve worked on a Mesolithic site in England. These are Mesolithic. You can tell by the size, shape, etc. Dates from other sites would be determined by doing radio carbon on associated organic material like charcoal so when the same type of thing appears elsewhere it’s clear what it is.

[@RobKoelman]

@@mysticfox1563 So you are saying that 'basic flint flakes' can be dated by 'size and shape'? Well. I have found a lot of flint flakes myself fieldwalking in the Netherlands and I can tell you that flakes themselves are NOT typical of whatever archaeological period. They are all the same, whatever archeological period or part of the world you are talking about. You need typological identification of tools (like arrowheads, scrapers, axes, etc.) and/or stratigraphical dating and/or dating based on associated artifacts that can be reliable dated...

Necessity of survival. It's a mound built up for security at night. They camped on the mound at night with water all around them. That way they could hear if a predator or enemy was sneaking up on them at night in the dark. A early defense. That is why they find flint on the mound. It was there in the safety of the mound they napped there flint. The stone pathways were there for them to walk out to the mound on so not to sink into the mud or get too wet. Only they would have known where the pathway was just under the water a few inches. I would expect the path to change direction at least once also. So a enemy could not follow very successfully. Even a gap in the pathway to stumble a advancing enemy. Again only they path makers would know where that gap was. Quite ingenious and impressive i think. Simple but very effective. Unless the enemy was of great numbers. Not everything is ceremonial. Survival was much more important don't you think. ??

[@LuisAldamiz]

Mesolithic and Bronze? Really? What about Neolithic and Copper?! Also what about some radiocarbon dating? I find most annoying that British prehistorians totally subsume the Copper Age (Chalcolithic) into "Bronze Age" (that honey colored flint is typical Chalcolithic, not "Bronze", and most likely originated at Grand-Pressingny, Loire basin, France) but what I find most astonishing here is that, having what seems very much Brittany-like structures (stone alignements, stone rings, the mound is probably also a Neolithic dolmen but will have to wait till it's properly mapped), and knowing well that SE British (and Irish and Scottish) Neolithic has Briton+ Megalithic origins (unlike NE English Neolithic, that has "Danubian" origins in North France and thus styles another type of monumental architecture such as henges/rondels), no mention is ever made to Neolithic, Chalcolithic nor any relationship with the continent at all (when it should be obvious for all those well-learned archaeologists). We know by now that there was a demographic replacement (and cultural and dietary as well) with the arrival of the Neolithic to the islands some 4000 years ago. So if these guys want to make a continuity correlation between what seems to be a wooden hut (claimed "Mesolithic" but maybe not) and the later ritual NEOLITHIC landscape, then that demographic replacement is a problem.

[@ptl9029]

Doesn't heat destroy radiocarbon dating? ... younger Dryas impact hypothesis

[@LuisAldamiz]

@@ptl9029 - I'm right now unsure if direct heat may alter carbon dating but in general that is not considered a problem by specialists who have been studying this dating system for 70 years already and refining the calibration curve, hyper-refining the methods of direct dating, etc. in order to achieve even better accuracy. There are other methods of direct dating like Th-U and thermoluminiscence, which are complementary and in some cases can achieve even greater temporal depth (C14 stops working at around 50 Ka BP). I generally trust C14 methodology, especially if complemented with other data.

[@georgedorn1022]

It seems that the 'copper-only' period in Britain and Ireland was of such a short duration relative to elsewhere on the continent that academics cannot decide whether giving it the title Chalcolithic is appropriate. As you say, it is often subsumed into the Early Bronze Age while some scholars use the term 'metal-using Neolithic' to describe this period. The collection of papers entitled 'Is there a British Chalcolithic?' from the Prehistoric Society 2009 conference is probably worth looking for if this is of interest to you.

[@LuisAldamiz]

@@georgedorn1022 - Chalcolithic is not about "copper" but about social complexity. When they began erecting Stonehenge, that was Chalcolithic.

[@markedwards9247]

Not the best time team documentary. A perfect example of how peer approval attempts to fit evidence to their theories, rather than fit theories around the evidence. It is absurd. Over the hundreds of generations that lived in Britain in the neolithic, the land was more used than it is by modern Britons, by sheer weight of numbers. That is in direct contravention of the "sparcely populated" rhetoric. Sparcely populated over thousands of years would generate the same amount of relics as heavily populated over hundreds of years. Neolithic activity can be found all around us, all the time. Why does any survivng evidence always have to be "sacred". Lots of people go to Tesco, and they all have the same basic construct.
