im 51 and have been a rusted-on TT fan since 1985...so many amazing digs and characters....just watched the previous dig here and was sad when episode finished - left wondering standing in my kitchen thinking , "gee i wonder if TT have gotten back to here again and WOW very next up episode from 3 weeks ago delivers. Thankyou Odyssey and Time Team
One does wonder how magnificent it would be to make a documentary about every single archeological find (...by one and the same narrator and presentation) in ones own country and not just of those in Britain.
What a beautiful little village at the end there. It would be amazing if it was rebuild and used as a BB, or small country hotel, with Roman style amenities, and even farm work, mosaic workshop, etc. for fun of course. Live, relax like a Roman. I think it would be a hit.
There is an interesting Rockshelter in Avella Pennsylvania USA at Meadowcroft Village. The excavation takes human use back 16000 years. I live close and it has been fun to see the site evolve.
indeed, I don''t expect our local underground plumbing to last anywhere near that long. 😄... absolutely astounding it had been lying under those fields for so long..
I had just started a new job when this was originally filmed, now almost 26 years later, I am 4 years from retiring from that job. Amazing how time passes so quickly.
Good grief I love this series. Mick - what a fantastic soul he is and such a fount of knowledge. I found this show after his death. Phil is by far my favorite archeologist of all time, and I would guess I echo this throughout these comments. What a knowledgeable, friendly soul he is. As an American with over 85% of my DNA from the British Isles and as a firm believer in reincarnation I know these guys are finding sites from ALL of our past incarnations. We tend to incarnate into our familiar places, families, and cultures. Although when lessons need to be learned, for instance, your bigotry can find yourself incarnated in the peoples you were bigoted against in a former life. In case you wonder about this subject of which I speak - reincarnation - a subject which will, maybe not in our lifetimes, become common place reality when spirituality meets science. The Universe is the 'Great Recycler" - and over 2 Billion souls now alive on planet earth are 'all in'' on reincarnation. Count this Lutheran 'adult' a firm believer in reincarnation. There are no other answers for the immortality of our souls. Which BTW - we are immortal.
The thing that gets me about these early Time Team episodes is the people you will find in the trenches with a trowel in their hand;. From Dr David Neal in this one, to Prof. Alice Roberts in the 2nd to last one i watched about the Shetland Islands.
I've just thought of a new drinking game. Take a drink every time someone on the team says the phrase "high status." You'll be drunk off your ass in ten minutes or less.
I always get a little melancholy pondering that the people who lived and worked here are all but forgotten. And their lovely homes and gardens and fields only have maybe the base part of them buried under a meter of soil. 😢
At that time not SIR yet.But still, this is and was and always will eb Tony Robinson in his element!!!!!! And since i haven't seen this episode yet, definitely interesting what -geofiz - came up in this - other part - of the valley.
Pedantry alert. At 47:30, the windows in the central aisle are named: clerestory. I was astonished to find out that the traditional pronunciation of this word (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary) is "clear-storey." Makes sense all round--that's what it is, a level of the building that is clear to let in light, and it's perfectly fine Middle English spelling. It's just so counter-intuitive that it could be so simple. What a brilliant series of TV programmes this is.
I know this is not a recent episode but I’ve always wondered how all of these buildings end up buried under the ground? Are they half destroyed and then the bottom half gets buried because of the way the soil moves around throughout the ages? (Can’t remember the word for that, sorry English isn’t my first language). Or is it the whole building? How do they end up buried underground?
It boggles the mind, perhaps it’s a Mansion that may receive travellers that need of food and a place to sleep. They would need to house horses, slave quarters a iron smithy brew house. Kilns so these are my thoughts only.
37:49 What’s the point of doing “experimental archaeology” if you are going to resort to modern tools whenever something doesn’t work out with period tools. What does it teach us about the period other than that we don’t understand it?
You must visit Trier! There is an intact Roman bridge (Romerbrucke), Constantine's basilica, an amphitheater, imperial baths, the Barbara baths and the best preserved Roman gate outside Italy; Porta Nigra. I envy your easy access to antiquity, there is nothing like the sheer volume of ancient sites in Europe over here in the states.
There are a lot of roman sites in Germany. I grew up in a 10k people town, and we have excavated a roman grange "Römischer Gutshof" in the vineyards nearby. Baden-Württemberg

49 years old and I giggled at Tony when he said, “While Chris is barbecuing the balls…”. Guess I’m not quite mature enough despite my age!

I'd love to know how long it took them to cart all the flagstone to the site just to create the covered channel for the spring water.

Why don't you continue to examine the whole house? Wish you did more on this villa.
Is it me or should he have had the torch turned up. The blue flame the hot part. Not the orange
Off camera Tony asked the realtor "Where's the room I can stuff my mother-in-law in?" ... Oh, that's off the main hallway, to the left.

3rd century or before… clever
So the Roman slaves got the original palatial villa... Jammy sods. I have to live in a two-bedroom flat.
Thats fancy! I live in a van down by the river!😂
I envy the English! There are no ancient sites in Germany😑
Why would you think that? Some parts of Germany were Roman provinces and the Romans operate anywhere between rivers Rhine and Elbe.
You must visit Trier! There is an intact Roman bridge (Romerbrucke), Constantine's basilica, an amphitheater, imperial baths, the Barbara baths and the best preserved Roman gate outside Italy; Porta Nigra.
