Poole Harbour was a thriving port in the Iron Age, but could Green Island in the centre of the harbour have been a site of earlier industrial mass production?

I've just realized that the experimental archaeologist helping make the shale bracelet (Jake Keane) is the same guy who helped Phil smelt iron in the episode much earlier on where there was a Roman bath house in the middle of a golf course- maybe season 6 or so?

I lived on the island of Elba for a few years and when we dug a five metre deep pit to accomodate a sewage lifting pump we found Etruscan iron working deposits including haematitic ore (from the island) and charcoal. I enquired and was told by local experts that for each ton of crushed ore twenty tons of oak wood (Ilex) was required for the process. Very quickly the timber resources of the island were exhausted and the ore was exported to the nearby mainland for processing where timber was more readily available. The Green Island project missed the important fact that charcoal would have had to have been imported from elsewhere....

An island is not just defensive. In an age when the easiest way to move things around is by boat an island is ideal for a distribution center. Large vessels that have crossed big open water are unloaded and reloaded while smaller vessels for inland bays and rivers do the same.

My grandfather would have loved this video. He was a machinist, making a living operating machines like lathes, except rather than stone, it was iron and steel he was working. While he firmly admired education, he was equally firm in his belief that a man who could turn raw material into useful objects would always find a job. So Grandson Number One - moi - learned to operate every machine tool (powered by electric motors instead of human muscle) he had in his home workshop set in the garage by the time I graduated from high school.

It always amazes me how wealthy some people are. Time Team goes in to investigate a castle and at some point they interview the OWNER of the castle!!! In this episode, they need to move the people who own the freakin' island. THEY OWN THE ISLAND!!!! Mind blown. I come from working class stock. Nobody I know comes from this kind of background. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to own an island covered in ticks. That wouldn't be worth it no matter how wealthy you are.

This was yet another great episode! I just wonder if Iron Age people would really necessarily have separate domestic and workshop buildings. Since I'm no expert, all I can do is wonder, but to me it would seem more than likely when compared to other similar cultures, that sure in some cases they might be separate depending on the profession and individual, but in other cases there was only one building with different areas of activity outside around it. Which is why you would expect to find a mixture of domestic and industrial type waste.

Usually they let the sound guy do his thing at the BBC for example, while a documentary gets sent to them with horrible sound, the BBC fixes it themselves to have a certain standard. Sound engineers will make it sound different, a channel like BBC will want to have it all on one level.

Ticks means that the undergrowth needs to be burned. That is one of the benefits of burning the landscape. It is unlikely that there would have been many ticks in the iron age. Grazing cattle, horses, sheep and goats would have kept the grass short. And the landscape would probably been burnt regularly to promote new growth.
