Ive found myself watching TIME TEAM a lot now days!!!!These guys and women are very interesting to start with.....There just really good at what they do....Im hooked guys!!!!!Love TIME TEAM!!!
The bulk of the archeologists, specialists, diggers, whatever, nearly all have regular academic jobs! They can only spare weekends! That’s the price you pay to be able to bring in highly qualified people!
Money, this show isn't free, All the professionals all the archaeologists all the equipment about 200000 pounds per episode plus it takes 5 days to set it up.
@@garethjones4742 Tea is amazing. There are hot summer days at work where a hot half cup of tea without milk quickly consumed will give a person a pleasant cool rush during break time after some back breaking work.
This episode is from 2010. LiDAR only really started being semi-regularly used for big-site archaeology a few years later and was very expensive. Its use wouldn't have made sense in a TV show that wasn't an entire series about a single dig.
This seems consistent with my theory of bands of semi-nomadic people meeting and forming temporary cities around harvest time every year, and dispersing to forage the rest of the year. Inevitably they’d be making improvements to their meeting place which are substantial enough to remain disused for months and yet still be sturdy enough to be used again during the following year’s harvest. If the process of annual improvement continues for enough centuries, eventually you end up with something along the lines of Gobleki Tepe or Stonehenge, or this place. 🤔
Uninformed Jack 🫏 comment. Other than Tony, they are all esteemed archeologists. Google them and see their credentials. Better than yours I'd say, Mr keyboard warriors.
Like the show but this episode illustrates academia arrogant nonsense. A few inches of a single stick in the mud, because it's straight, is interpreted to mean a highly organized society managing the woodlands? When my sons were 6 years old, they always picked up straight sticks to sword fight, pretend they were guns, and would often stick them in the ground. And the experts in this video decided, with zero evidence, that the trenches meant the area was used as a gathering point for a mix of different groups to hold religious ceremonies? Based on what? Same way the archeaologists decided the age of the pyramids and that they were burial tombs despite the lack of any real evidence to support either claim. Because they have academic credentials and that's what they say.
@@clarissagafoor5222 Yes, they proved there was a site there. But some of their biggest "conclusions" were just speculation... unsubstantiated conjecture presented as facts. An advanced degree doesn't mean your every opinion must be treated as proven fact.
Well if you folks were in Canada, BC got 40 degrees Celsius/104 Fahrenheit and within 2-3 points for a month. Nighttime temps have have only just dropped on the 23rd day of it. I so love the joviality and teasing banter amongst you all: have you done this job before? digger guy-My last sessions on Friday! Priceless!
These never get old.

The true hero here is the excavator operator. Holy moly!!!!!!! Cleanest cuts ive ever seen. In pouring rain. Amazing!!! Def the MVP
Having operated heavy machinery watching Ian Barclay make those smooth and clean cuts make me realize how inept I was.
Time Team brings History to life through their three day digs and banter between the Archeologists and Tony Robinson.
Love the show, hate the three day time limit.

@@margomoore4527 I understand that. It doesn’t stop me from wanting more. LOL

The new ones are longer but they don't have Phil.
@@czgator9000And Tony.
More fascinating than many Time Team episodes.
You need to add a Meteorologist to the crew and maybe a lifegaurd 😮😅😂
Be interesting to compare weather / rain amounts / sunny days/ temperatures etc from these shows and locations to current conditions.
This show is like 15 years old 😂
@@edwin5419 Thr new version isn’t
@@edwin5419So? Are you being forced to watch? I've watched these multiple times. Better than the new TimeTeam.
@@BritGirl-fg9gj what a weird take lmao. OP was commenting as if this episode was this decade where the show could do something about their personnel.
These are excellent "go-to's" for centering, just relaxing and allowing your energy/ frequency to rise. ✨
Time Team + Bettany Hughes = Really a Winner
Ive been watching this guy since he told children stories about frogs. Iconic voice.
Desultory. Thanks for using that word Tony!
If a person hasn't finished their cup of tea by ten thirty in the morning, it must be one real good big cup of tea.
My tea is poured at 6am. If I don't drink it by 6:30 I brew a new pot

Why not get a better LiDAR scan of 5he area first to pickup more details on the site?

@@paigecunningham exactly. Ppl need to just look at Sir Tony & you can tell this is 1 of the older shows. Love the TT staff & crew!!! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I just love his smart aleck voice!
I have a cunning plan! (Tony as Baldrick from Black Adder).
This was 2010. I wonder what has been happening at this site during the past 14 years?
That massive ditch/rampart looks like natural shale hillside to me.
You guys make me " SO APPY" 👍🍀😂

So......What became of the site? Is there ongoing work or were their conclusions merely speculation of the use of the site?
Condolences, what a great loss. Sending love from North Carolina ❤❤❤
What are you talking about?
@@karlkarlos3545 My question question as well.
You made me think Tony Robinson had died! Christ alive
Love this stuff but hardhats in an open field??? Cmon guys!
BETTANY HUGHES!! WOOP!!!!
So they found a fortified prehistoric events center?
Herefordshire except the chickens is a wonderful English location
Just postpone it till the good weather comes back then resume. This 3-day thing is a bunch of BS
🇧🇷 o love Baldrich.
I wonder what happened to that great hole they dug?
They fill it in.
47:43 : MMX 2010
Poor farmer getting his fields ripped up
He's compensated. Doesn't appear it's being used for crops. They aren't tearing up the entire site either.
bullshit Tony ... you are never anything but negative ...
Bunch of amateurs more interested in making TV than they are about doing real archaeology.
They are all professionals

But they proved what they set out to prove.

You basically summed up Graham Hancock’s biggest gripe with academics in archeology.
