#WaylandsSmithy #Longbarrow #Englishmegaliths Subtitles have been added by our community member: C. Brouwer! Thank you so much! Today we’re going to the South East of England to talk about Wayland’s Smithy in Oxfordshire England. It’s location near the village of Ashbury is along the same hill as the Uffington White horse, Uffington castle and close to the Ridgeway national trail, which is an ancient road. The current appearance of this monument is the result of partial reconstruction in 1962 and 1963. The site became associated with the mythological figure Wayland the Smith in the early middle ages, because of that the site became known as Wayland’s Smithy. The name Wayland’s Smithy was first mentioned in a Saxon chronicle dating from 955 AD. It refers to the Saxon smith God who was said to live in the monument. Wayland’s Smithy is a 2 phase neolithic tomb. It’s a chambered long barrow and it’s in one of the best surviving conditions when compared to other long barrows in Britain. It’s made out of Sarsen, a kind of sandstone that is common to the area. Sarsen stone is similar to the stones used at stonehenge. The tomb we see today is the later phase of the monument. The remains 14 of people were discovered in this first structure. 11 men, 2 woman and 1 child. Radiocarbon dating showed that the first burials were probably placed there between 3590 and 3555BC, and the last burials were placed between 3580 and 3550BC. The mound is about 56 meters long and 13 meters wide. Within the southern end of the mound is the burial chamber. A narrow and partially constricted orthostatic passage leads to a pair of side chambers, aligned east to west. Just like we saw in Newgrange the passage and chambers form a cruciform structure. The excavations in 1919-1920 done by Sir. Charles Peers and Reginald Smith, were of dubious quality and very poorly recorded. The majority of the excavated human remains removed at that time have since been lost. With the exception of 2 skulls archived at the natural history museum. In the 1962 and 1963 excavations were led by Professors Stuart Piggot and Richard Atkinson who restored the sit to its appearance in antiquity. During these excavations the 4 large entrance stones have been returned upright to their original positions. Radiocarbon dating showed this monument to be a strikingly late phenomenon. As it’s about 200 years younger than other long barrow tombs in England Destruction of the monument appears to date from the late bronze age, and from the iron age into the roman period. Most damage has been inflicted by the end of the roman period. This monument was a place for collective burial, perhaps involving successive rites, and of progressive monumentalization.

It seems like wolves and humans developed a certain kind of respect for each other while both benefiting from roaming together. Humans were kept safer, canines like wolves and ancient dogs had much more sensitive hearing than us humans and they would’ve heard danger coming from further away, giving the humans more time to defend themselves. Wolves and dogs are quite good at protecting their pack and they can consider humans part of their pack as well. Humans on the other hand would’ve given these canines meat, shelter, warmth with their fires and probably a lot more. Therefore you can see clearly that this is a mutual beneficial relationship for both species. There is a piece of tangible evidence for this relationship between humans and canines, this is in the form of footprints from a child that walked alongside a wolf in a cave. The cave where these prints are located is the Chauvet Cave and this might be one of the most famous caves in France. The walls of this cave are adorned with some of the world’s oldest paintings, some 400 depictions of animals were created on the walls around 32,000 years ago. But all the way back in the cave ancient footsteps of a child walking alongside a wolf can be found, these prints stretch over an area of 45,70 meters and they were originally made when the soil was soft clay that hardened over time while being left undisturbed for many thousands of years.
