- In East Sussex, UK, Tori and the team explore a shipwreck from the 1740s, discover a prehistoric well shaft, and investigate a harbor that took 63 years to build but only worked for four months.
---
Every day, on a sandy beach or a rocky foreshore, fascinating historical evidence appears and disappears as the tide rolls in and rolls back out again across the British coastline. Palaeontologist Dr Tori Herridge and experts from CITiZAN (the Coastal & Inter-tidal Archaeological Network) investigate the stories behind these intriguing remains. From abandoned villages, prehistoric footprints, shipwrecks, submerged forests, we follow the clues to how people have survived on the coast, how they’ve learnt to live alongside the sea. It is an archaeological race against time as Shoreline Detectives battles to capture a vanishing past for us all to see.

I have lived in Rye since 1980 and my mother born in 1902 came from Iden her father , my grandfather, was the lock keeper where the Rother meets the Military canal. This film informed a lot about the history. Thank you for
posting.
Thoroughly enjoyable. It was a great episode, well presented and thought out. Everyone on screen was knowledgeable and likeable. Well done to all involved.
I'm looking forward to seeing more!
Cheers.
I totally loved this thank you and stumbled the process it by accident…. I grew up just over the railway line from the Amsterdam ship wreck and all the other places mentioned were part of my childhood and early adult life before I moved away….. so totally and thoroughly interesting to learn these things that you shared. I was there on the beach the day after diggers came across the Amsterdam back in the 80s…. if I remember correctly, the contractors were digging to extend a sewer pipe when they came across the wreck of the ship…..
Thank you for such an excellent program
As a missive Time Team fan… I am here for the history aspect. Looking forward to watching more episodes. The shaft is just amazing… and the ship such a treasure.
But must say that Charlotte is rather lovely - and without a wedding band. If I was in the UK I would take her out for a coffee.
Bevanpop37924. You're mistaken: you weren't COMPELLED to say what you said about Charlotte; you CHOSE to say it. It is not only an unnecessary comment; it is insulting. When listening to scholars and broadcasters, respect their work and comment only on that.
Get rid of the annoying music and I might be able to hear you speaking
It appears the volume of the music is determined by an interaction between CZcams itself and the platform you're watching on. Not something the uploader can control
@@cassieoz1702 thanks, as I have to listen through headphones I am perhaps more sensitive to the sound balance. I have to have my finger poised over the mute button if I have turned the volume up to hear dialogue and know I am going to be zapped by an ad break.
Is it really necessary to have the music?
At least it’s not like American videos that have drumming as the background ‘music’.
Great program would be better without the music
I also think we need to find out who decided to build cliffs out of chalk, I bet it was some Labour council's idea.
No, it was the thieving Tories who spent the money on themselves and their friends instead of buying quality stone.

Is that why social housing
built by Labour councils
is the greyist, grimmest grimiest place to live,
and where mental illness
is so common,
hordes of university-trained Marxists
depend upon it
for their very comfortable livings?
Conservatives have faults.
Labour has faults.
Both
are directed by Marxism.

we need a new system of government.
It is coming.
And not WEF.

Wonderful presentation. I was arrested but had charges dismissed in Canterbury 1600's. Then out of Salem 1700's. It is amazing what is hidden in plain sight. Once one starts looking.
You can click/touch on the settings icon and then turn on captions.
The settings icon looks like a cog on the top right corner of the screen. I have an android phone.
May be different on an apple?
Smeaton's idea of using the power of water flow to clear silt from a harbour was used successfully at Ramsgate harbour where they built an inner harbour after they found the original harbour was silting up. The inner harbour penned in the water at high tide and was released at low tide into the outer harbour, clearing the sand and silt.
The flow was too low to keep Rye clear, how could it be enough further away? And it appears from the contemporary map they installed locks to make that river and the other flowage into canals as well; that right there would kill any chance of a consistent current clearing silt. One wonders what were they thinking? Full at high tide, flush on the ebb?
As far as the ancient forest, where I live on the west coast of Florida, there are tree stumps in the gulf of Mexico, that I know of, in 20-25 feet of water off shore. The continental shelf here in what we call the big bend area of Florida's gulf coast is approximately 200 miles from the coast, and is very flat. Flat as in it is very shallow for quite a distance from shore.
I've seen many tree stumps offshore in 20-30 foot of water while spear fishing.
Wonderful documentary !
my dad and his brothers and friends used to go and play on this ship it was more intact then had a deck and cabin where they played pirates..
Not sure if it is a serious comment or not
@@bluenick4577why would it not be?! His dad could have been from many decades ago.
This is untrue
Interesting programme, but your sound engineer/mixer/editor needs to find a new profession
That was a great programme. There are so many aspects of what is all around us that often becomes harder to see or understand. I live where there were many Napoleonic tunnels and forts but it has proven almost impossible to confirm the existence of some of them despite there being oddities that are visible. Perhaps its deliberate.
This was great. Thank you.
Stay tuned! We have a few more on the way.
I would like to ask the presenters for this programme why they didn’t consult people who live on the Sussex coast who know about the sea? I would also like to tell them that the Amsterdam wreck was first revealed in the late 1960’s and not, as they claim, in the ‘80’s It was first noticed by the people installing an offshore pipe (if I remember correctly it was a company called William Press)A group of us went down on a low tide and were excited to find odd relics from the ship (the wine that was retrieved was undrinkable!!) The wreck can only be seen at very low tides. To say that the Amsterdam sank into the sand is just not factual ……….over time the sand has built up around the ship. There’s a difference.
Also there has not always been sinking sand by the wreck. There wasn’t in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s……….the constant movement of the sea causes the shoreline to change. This is constant and therefore the shift in sand and shingle constantly changes. It will be refreshing when these “experts” realise that they cannot rule the sea!! There have been many efforts over the ages to rule the sea - none are successful, nor will they ever be.
Silly comments such as saying that the sea level rising and has covered forest etc., is immediately argued against by saying that Rye was once on the coast!! The sea does its own thing. I don’t see the point in these programmes put together by experts”. Who pays them for presenting less than accurate information? Save me from academics!!!
I found the organization of the presentation very confusing. An expensive program with very little archeological value.
Brilliant programme. Thanks so much.
Enjoyed, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! We've got some more episodes coming up.
A fine documentary to introduce new viewers to how archaeology is carried out and how different specialists join together. Time does not stand still
Fascinating study. Thank you.
I stood on the edge of the cliffs and wondered how people would’ve gotten down to the beach. The shafts give a probable answer. Tunnel down, hit the granite, tunnel out.
Please take care when going under cliffs that are actively eroding. And chalk is so soft! I don't want to hear in the news that four intrepid archeologists perished or were hurt while investigating shoreline archeology along the south coast of England. I am a geologist, and one day, my assistant and I were taking samples at the base of a cliff that had a slight overhang in Oklahoma. We quit when dusk came and planned to continue the next morning. When we arrived, the sampling site was buried under a cliff fail! We were sooooo lucky! Best of luck to all of you.
LOL I thought the man in the green jacket was going to say about the 250 year old wreck south of Hastings that "if you dig down about a meter, you will find organic material...seeds, pollen, fingers..."
I agree music really disrupts voices in places but interesting thanks
this is excellent. as someone whos interested in all things both nautical and historical you might say it floated my boat. do you see what i did there? lol. thanks to all the team. cant wait for more
We are glad this one put wind in your sails. 😉 We'll have some more episodes coming out soon! Stay tuned.
Imagine what will be said of today's engineering fiasco's. HS2 anyone. This harbour will look like a raging success in comparison.
Is it an old dinghy used by immigrants to cross the channel?
Please take that awful un requested music off of the video, so that I can hear what is being said, otherwise what's the point of having the video at all.
At Normans Bay there are a series of square/rectangular shapes in the shingle beach, outlined in wooden spindles, which sit between the high and low water lines. I have always wondered what these could be.
Williams boats ! but the coast line was different then it was navigable up to Boreham bridge to the east & Hailsham way to the west.
Yes I agree why do you need music when someone is talking 😊
Why is Charlotte's voice-over sooo quiet, compared to the recorded speech on the filmed portions?
One can hardly hear what she's saying. It's so frustrating having to either turn up the volume or turn on the captions, then not be able to see the whole picture in detail.
Poor post production editing.
Those "wreckers" came from Sussex and Kent.
I swear that they're telepathic.
Just like the country fading away
I’m sorry but I don’t agree with that statement that people would willingly allow others to carve up their buildings like that. Since sailors were ship wrecked off the coast, they probably turned the church into temp housing and was filled to the brim with sailors. I’d like to imagine someone had their bed right next to the column and spent an insomniac night withering away the ship graffiti.
Did Smeeton build the harbour so he could build the Beachhead Head lighthouse
Horrible editing going back and forth through the stories forcing the viewers to keep watching…
I’ve got a headache
Why are all having safery jackets on???
What would the Chinese do? Master builders? The resources to reclaim it are there….think outside the box maybe?
Create a ‘competition’ and/ or crowd source the solution needed?
THey should just call this "things I found on the beach" because there is zero archaeology going on nor is there anything of any scientific interest at all.What's the point of this TV series? Seems like the cheapest possible way to fill schedule time with some tourism fluff. Time Team it is not.
1:50 fart in a jar
Dreadful, overbearing, raucous music spoilt this documentary 😢
I asked these Shoreline so-called-"detectives" to find out who nicked my phone last August and they said it's not their job. So much for these so-called-"detectives".
stick to things you know something about. The sea level is not rising
lol. You mad? Many Polynesians will prob have a different opinion than that.
Why are all these archeology programmes always presented by women? Wokeness gone mad! Bring back the men
Wokeness? What exactly do you think being "woke" is?
@@snafufubar "woke" = doing or thinking things which offend prejudiced bigots.
Wow, Misogynist much?
@@lpeterman not at all merely an observation of facts
@@colinlaird8992 Sorry, not buying it.
good grief. liberal educated women and kids.. great archeology..
What on earth are you referring to?
As opposed to men who are sad old former public school tossers? And all certainly more of an authority on the topic of shoreline archeology (sic) than you, I allow.
Again, with the misogyny.
350 people, on that small ship. wow
