The 111 Medieval Peasants Found Buried In A Backyard | Time Team | Chronicle

Tony Robinson and the team head to Glendon Hall in Northamptonshire to unravel the mystery of the human skeletons found under an outbuilding. In November 2004 Martin Hipwell was working in the garden converting a Victorian brick shed. He had to stop rather suddenly because as he dug up the old floors he came across a whole host of human skeletons. He contacted the local unit, Northampton Archaeology, which revealed 11 burials inside one of the buildings. The density of the burials, the orientation, and the lack of finds and gravestones suggested that these were the graves of medieval Christian peasants. Bone analysis indicates that these people suffered from lives of hard labor and poor nutrition. Could they have been inhabitants of the lost medieval village of Glendon?

A long forgotten cemetery filled with long forgotten people. This makes me think of a line from that TV show Westworld, "you only live as long as the last person who remembers you."

Every time I begin a Time Team episode I think, " I'll just watch a few minutes and then I'll go ..." and the next thing I know I'm watching the recap and credits. Few shows catch my interest and focus as Time Team does and I never begrudge the time I spend watching them.

I recently bought a piece from a very old window from someone in England who was selling it online. It looked very old to me, and it also was just yellow and black with the etched picture of a bee. It was a gift for my daughter who is also an archaeology enthusiast, and she asked how old I thought it was. From looking at the speckled look to the glass and the etching I guessed 16th century. So seeing these windows in yellow and black, also with little specks in the glass makes me think I'm close on the date. I don't know what the bee symbolizm would mean, but her nickname is Bee, so I knew she'd love it. It was out of an old building someone inherited.

when he said "every builder's worst nightmare" my brain immediately went "mould in the basement" due to my extensive history of watching home renovation shows hahaha

It just blows my American mind that there are Roman artifacts, Saxon artifacts and Medieval artifacts in a field! Not only that, but that there are so many abandoned villages all over England. What a great job everyone did on this dig! Must be frustrating to only have 3 days. Doing genealogy research , my ancestors go back mostly to England, coming over here as early as 1621. And one of my family names is Lane❤

I adore this show. Aracheology can tell us so much, but it frustrates me because they only have three days. Imagine what they could find if they had more time? Amazing things .

Things like this make me wish time travel was possible. Imagine being able to go back in time to see what it actually looked like. Imagine a person who died then being able to travel forward and see our guesses. Would be awesome

The late Mick Aston's jumpers made such an impression on my two young daughters, so I had to knit them two jumpers! We were all addicted to Time Team, and I wish we had the programme today, as it was so interesting. They went everywhere, even on to the Isle of Mull in Scotland, to find an old chapel which had been entirely lost!

Blows my mind as an American, finding Roman stuff in your backyard.

I love these digs from England. There is so much that can be deduced from historical maps,i.e., properly maps including roads from at least the 1600’s. Our country USA has only a 400 year old written history and so many burial sites have been lost due to people not wanting to stop and reporting the find because they don’t want to thwarted in their projects.

That's Wild, I have always felt compelled to pursue knowledge and power in order to contribute to the betterment of humanity. Been seeking a means to be influential and find out more knowledge about the human race and about the things not everyone is destined to know. I wish to fulfill the goal of enlightenment passed down by our forebears!!

Maybe while Martin;s grandfather was moving into the manor house about 97 years ago, one of the removals men dropped a nice Roman pot, and then quickly buried the fragments so nobody would know he had broke this heirloom from Italy........

That’s super cool that they also found a Roman cremation burial. I’d also never thought through that the peasants might not have known what that all was if they’d dug that up instead. But, it’s true: I’ve wondered myself what we might not know from past civilizations, particularly Egyptian but also Mayan and Incan. Creating a pyramid as a 3D representation of their calendar that is perfectly aligned mathematically so that the moon illuminates the carved dragon only when it’s equinox is incredible to think about. The relatively recent LIDAR ‘discovery’ of road systems and other details previously obscured by dense rainforest is another piece that will, I think, really show how advanced South American peoples were.

The human graveyard being, as Tony says, unceremoniously hacked up, whilst the pet graveyardis not only neat but recorded is so incredibly human that I have to laugh.
