The Mystery Of The Mesolithic Footprints In The Sand | Time Team | Timeline

Huh. Of course I knew that mesolithic people used flint a lot, but I never thought of tiny shards of it as being a mesolithic Swiss army knife before.

A great insight into the lives of people who were living in the mesolithic age. I think the cut of the dress drawn in the picture is both modest and practical. A full dress, either long or short would impede movement and give no covering when a woman is crouched or sitting. The split in the sides allows for free movement and also provides a cover for modesty.

A very informative slice into life at that time. Brilliant episode

Mesolithic footprints preserved by Mesolithic tsunami? The next day?
Washed over the whole island? Crazy, but... .

Curious to know how this site has fared since this excavation.

The footprints has changed not only time flame , but image of First Americans. There were no Mongoloid in that era (Dr. William Howells, Harvard) , so new question should be asked. Who were they? It's also already indicated that they were not mammoth hunters by experimental archaeology researchers. Peopling of America, new migration route & people, link with evidence in South America, ancient Luzia in Brazil has to be discussed now.

"'Ave you got a low centre o' gravi'y or som'in?"

Tony could of been a gentleman and helped Brigid out of the mud. No, he’s too cynical. I love it where Brigid and the young boy made foot prints together. So cool.

You will always be Baldric to me.

"What do you reckon we can do here, Mick?" "Well, let's DIG A TRENCH..." 😛

Much more clear, recognizable footprints than these were found in stone by a river in Glenrose, Texas. They even brought in the Dallas Crime Lab and asked them, 'Are these human footprints?" They confirmed yes, they were and forensic assumptions of height, foot size, stride have been made from these footprints. Yet because the rock they are in is far too old for paleontologists to accept, they are rejected as footprints.

Why do they only have 3 days to do it?

I want to become a footprint expert.

I always thought that humans had to have 1st come here over 20000 years ago if not 25000 years ago. now I might even be thinking more like 40000 years ago. You have to realize how slow and dangerous migration was for humans that long ago. It might take generations before any of them picked up and migrated again. Cuz they had no pack animals, they had to carry everything themselves. I was watching the show about Native American Indians before 1492 and they said that in Columbus 1st landed they estimated there are a 100 million people in North central and South America I would think 50 million the most. Think of how long it would take for small groups of people to go over from Russia into Alaska and then populate all the way down to the tip of South America and increase the population to a 100 million people.

One Thing I noticed about the Foot Prints in New Mexico are the Length of the Toes.

The kids making the footprints we're running around like that to avoid the stork sized 🦟🦟🦟 mosquitos

There is billions of humans on this planet, if we ALL worked together and everyone done there part we could do anything? Solve any mystery on earth and have peace forever after?

intro is tooooooo long

I really loved the “Time Team” series.
“We have found the low walls of a roman villa, which indicates that romans were very short people.”

It's too bad they couldn't use plaster mold for the footprints. I just started watching this particular episode.

We need to explore history 100x more. How much is hidden around the pyramids?

Brilliant.

It’s not gone forever. Oceans warm, eventually another ice age comes, oceans fall. It may be another 20-30 thousand years. But 4ever is much longer than that.

The shorts!!! Haaa- styling .

I would think that these people would have trapped fish in some type of caging or even reed nets.

I love Tony and this programming.
‘You can replace it with an exactly similar piece of flint’. Nick Barton. What is ‘exactly similar’? Lol

Love from the old lady in Texas may God bless you always and forever

everyone is out there in hip waders except the eccentric man in daisy dukes XD

This is archaeological silliness at its most extreme. What an extraordinary waste of time and resources.

Love the footprints. Took a picture of this last night. Is it a footprint too? Once I figure out how to get it here.

All of it too far fetched for my taste

2022... watching this on a mobile magic card I keep in my pocket, surrounded by forced heat in 20 degree weather outside. I fear and welcome the inevitable collapse.😶👍

Phil in daisy dukes lol my sides

No mention of the possible use of atlatl in the hunting of the auroch

I would suggest concrete worker kneeboards for moving about the muck.

And now we have people making tik toks 🤣

All these stories could be told in 15 minutes!

It’s Yeti Sasquatch Bigfoot

Netflix Canada sucks

As I am watching the archeologists wallowing around in the mud, I am reminded of a line from a favorite movie ...
"Dennis! There's some lovely filth down here!"

Love this show I think Phil Harding is crazy cool 😎

Don't Usk Wye!
