- Dartmoor National Park Archaeologist Dr. Lee Bray takes the viewer on a tour through time, looking at how people have lived on Dartmoor over thousands of years and the traces they have left in the landscape.
With so much to explore, the talk has been split over two evenings. Part two will be available in early December.
Part of a short programme of online talks held during lockdown (November 2020)

I lived on the moor for 6 years. On one of my local dog walks I was always intrigued by a granite outcrop near Blackingstone, that was highly polished in a small area about 10 feet from the ground. One morning a lady walking her dog enlightened me by telling me it was where Woolly Mammoths scratched their muddy backsides over a period of thousands of years, which caused the polishing to just one spot on the giant boulder.
Wow thank you , this is really interesting information , I will have to check it out sometime
So very informative. I wish I had watched something like this during the 70’s or 80’s when think about how much time I spent hiking Dartmoor and not having a clue what was literally under my feet.
23;01 top left Down Tor . Love this channel just found it . Dartmoor (Horrabridge) ex-pat back home in Medway Towns again sadly.
Very thorough and well considered, pre history has many possible situations that you have presented well. I like the view of stone rows being a way of recording a lineage, like an ancestory tree - this feels possible in my view.
At 31.19, Northwest is midsummer sunset direction, southeast is midwinter sunrise direction.
Excellent. Thank you. Looking forward to part 2.
Great talk. Thank you.
Absolutely love this! Thank you☺
MARVELOUS!
Yes, if you look at every culture that lived in an environment that got cold they pretty much all figured out trousers or some sort of leg coverings and a shirt/coat type arrangement. It is a bit odd there are bone/wooden needles and awls found way back all over the planet but pictures of "cavemen" nearly all have the thrown on bits of fur/hide and loin cloth look.
THERE'S A VILLAGE IN TURKEY

Why so many discrepancies? The images give one set of dates, speaker say another. Photo is said to be of Wistman Woods, but it is clearly not.
The speaker keeps saying "I can't remember..." about various facts and dates. Did he not prepare his notes before speaking? This is very interesting but also amateur in its delivery.
@@artieash6671I don’t think he has a clue really
Among other things, archeologists have a lot of trouble thinking of women as typical members of any group of people, judging by the overwhelming majority of illustrations on archeology channels being men. If there's a woman shown, she's sitting cooking in the background.
Come on, guys, make an effort. Show women building houses, gathering, sitting around talking with no men around.
Pretty please?
Also they would have dark brown skin too in this part of the world
