Ian Powlesland was on TT almost from the beginning, and while he was usually quiet, is one of my favorite TT archeologists. He also operates the digger with the other Ian.
I've long admired Ian's skill with a digger scoop but scraping literally an inch from upstanding medieval ruins takes a special sort of moxie. Bravo to that man he sped up so many digs with his machines and greatly aided our knowledge of these things.
I just had the good fortune to learn of this long-running series after many years without TV (in the US). It is a treasure. I love the mix of personalities and approaches to archaeology. Thanks so much for posting all this!
Hell even us presumably much younger folks use a cell phone hot spot for internet and things like TH-cam for tv. Look up Tony Robinson on one he did a bunch of other shows similar to this. Also look up digventures here in TH-cam many of the people on this show have given lectures on these topics and they have a buncb. Really everyone on time team has continued to have awesome careers. Except Professor Astin. Sadly he died in 2013.
Dr. Aston was an absolute treasure. I find it depressing that he went to his grave convinced he wouldn't leave a lasting legacy. If only he had known how beloved he was by the Time Team fans. He had a hand in inspiring a new generation of archeologists, and made a huge impact on everyone he encountered. Truly a wonderful, yet complex man. The world is an emptier place without him.
Mick I bet was in his element here. He said he could live like a monk but he couldn’t deal with not having sex. Love and miss this Treasure of a Man. I know I never met him but watching this show you feel like you know all of them
this has to be one of the best shows ever its intriguing,its funny and you learn about history, thanx to all the team for bringing it to life theres great characters who are so enthusiastic and positive I learn and am hoping each dig they find what they are hoping to find
With cooperage you use the white and red oaks differently. White oaks have structures within the pores of the wood called tyloses. That keeps the wood from leaking and that is tight cooperage. Red oaks lack those structures and won’t hold liquids, so you would use that for goods like apples and that is called slack cooperage.
Won't Coopers also put Reed inbetween the Stakes for Liquidproofing? because I recall seeing a german TV Docu showing the making of a 5000lt Winebarrel, which was Waterproofed with Reed, stated by the Craftsman himself, that this was "what always was done, since Barrels were around"
@@samuelbhend2521 that would be similar to using oakum on ship planks which is a tarred rope. We weren’t taught the whole barrel making process in our class.
@@spacelemur7955 An easy way to tell the two types apart is look at the leaves. The tips of Red Oaks are pointed while white oak’s are rounded. Look at pictures of English oak leaves and compare to Red Oak leaves.
I'd love to see programmes like this also on other sciences -- the nitty-gritty of how it's actually done, all the uncertainties and the disciplined way of trying to resolve them.
Im so grateful i grow up and remember a time when Discorvery and History channels did wonderful thing like this instead of some real tv crap ......... real tv has nothing to do with history or discovering anything. Tv is crap now-a-day. Which is why i dont own a tv and i watch you-tube. Cheers!
@@chrissmith7669 Exactly what I thought. A serious issue is what the effect is of "factual" channels mixing serious stuff with all that other silliness about ancient aliens, Atlantis and various conspiracies. Not everybody can decide what's what.
Nate, my friend, it seems you could have watched a bit more Schoolhouse Rock and Electric Company. Don't worry about History Channel, focus on grammar and spelling.
@@SkunkApe407 atleast you got my point. I went to school back in the 80's and was pushed through the system and graduated with a 3rd grade education Ive had to teach myself to read and write based on that fact my friend I believe Ive done a good job but I will continue to work on my spelling and grammar Im sure until the day I die. thank you

For all Phil's undeniable charisma and infectious wit the show did occasionally reveal a contrasting, far darker aspect to his character. Indeed, when Phil was angry he could be a _very_ unpleasant individual. Good on Tony then for taking Phil's occasional rages in good humour, even when the latter bitterly (and unprofessionally) chided him on camera for minor misdemeanours!
My first Irish immigrant ancestor sailed from Waterford to St John's, Newfoundland in the 1830s. He and his son were coopers, supplying the cod fishery with barrels. His grandson , a cooper as well, came down to Boston/Cambridge, where there was a colony of immigrant 'Newfies'.
Operating a JCB with the skill of the Ian's is more of a zen like touch versus by rote learning, you become almost one with the machine. I wouldn't be surprised to know both the Ian's talk to their machine.
@@joshschneider9766 A motorcycle racer you say that explains alot. My brother was a dirt track racer and if he came into the pits and said the bike didn't feel right I was doomed to a full teardown. 99% of the time he was right. I became a heavy machinery operator and could feel something wonky through the control handle. Of course I always talked to the machine as well. Thanks for the reply.
@@adamsjerome1839 I have a deep love for the big construction machines. The souls of all those guys who had the well paid job of human powering the hamster wheel cranes that built cathedrals no doubt smile on it.
@@joshschneider9766 if Ian did trials riding it explained his skill with the JCB. I have only watched European trails ride and those fellows are magic. That would well explain how his mental computer operated in 3 dimensions, spatial acuity at its best. I tried to operate a swing shovel but failed miserably. The constant rotation of the cab to 90 or 180 degrees gave me motions sickness. Have a great day.
A. Westenholz. Ah, but look around him...Phil has 4 barrels I can see.... 1 under his arm, 3 on his right and probably a couple three more we can't see behind him. Phil's my kinda prepper!! LOL ✌💜😸
No problem there. He knows how to make the stuff himself now and the barrel to put it in. That is a very satisfied smile on his face. I love to see him so happy.

The video is not really out of sync. It's just that Lindisfarne suffered an epidemic, that although harmless (and only lasting for 3 days), it caused everyone to have loose lips.

At 24:40 The cannonball found could have been a super heated, red hot(possibly soaked in tar, set ablaze) catapult round that may have deformed when it something?
Cannonballs were used in cannons, not catapults. If the ruins are from the 1600-1700's, then catapults had been out of use for a few centuries. Cannonballs also tended to explode on impact, as they were generally hollow. A lump of solid iron that size would require a massive cannon to make it an effective projectile. The most common cannons of that time were 8 and 16 pounders, and used cannonballs the size of apples and grapefruits.
Interesting about the horse being eaten. For sure they eat or used to eat horses in France and I recall as a boy travelling in France and seeing butcher shops advertising "Biftek" which was not beef steak but a euphemism for much cheaper horsemeat. I see no reason why they would not eat horsemeat in those times hundreds of years ago on Holy Island.
Horses are usually eaten actually, all over Europe. I'd watch out with animal bones in piles, might be an antrax-bush... A pit to dispose and keep safe animal antrax-victems..
The two presumable kilns they identified .. could that be nitrate boilers… often used two big boilers for the black powder nanufacturing.. they were not burned hot … that period it was very intense aquirement of nitrate for black powder … and it can fit for the site of the marine base there that period
Vikings destroyed it.. How dare you! My ancestors were just out on a nice sunday row, when they saw a fire in the distance, they went to help, and found loads of dead monks, so they saved the treasures from the fire just!! *True story*
@@deborahparham3783 you're correct, and almost every one of them was knitted for him or gifted to him by fans. He was a lovely fella. The world is truly an emptier place without him.
When I daily work in dirt, I use Surgical gloves. I notice the people on show rarely have gloves on. It has just occurred to me: What lotion or oil do they use for their skin?
They don't. Gloves impair the use of the trowel, where 'feel' (how hard or yielding a context is, where an edge is, and so on) is so important. Surgeons use gloves for keeping harmful bugs out of their patients, but soil seldom causes problems, as long as you remember the golden rule: wash your hands before eating. The only time you might wear gloves is when mattocking (using a large digging implement) to prevent blistering. People who dig for a living have hands like rhino skin, more or less.
Um, what? Surgical gloves for digging? You obviously aren't using real tools, or those latex gloves are tattered in minutes. You're also probably digging in potting soil, not rocky, debris littered dirt and clay. Sorry, but this is one of the most laughably asinine comments I've seen in a while. They're archeologists, not germaphobe gardeners.
Palace could be a corruption of palisades which could be a name for the pub. As in a shelter from the storm, a place to regroup. It could have also served as a palisade to stop ships from coming in and looting the supplies.
I thought that the brewery/pub could have had a name like "The Palace Inn" or something, possibly named after an actual palace in the vicinity or a large house nicknamed "the palace" - perhaps the neighbouring property, Hardbottle Place?
@@barbmcconnaughey3070 just wait. They have the classics. If those get enough traffic, they'll probably add the last seasons. Personally though, I could do without Mary Anne and the lack of Mick, Carenza, Brigid, and Stewart. The classics episodes are the best ones anyway.

i thought lindisfarne was in durham am i wrong lol. i have a friend who is leaving australia to visit this place dont want to send her to the wrong place. thanks guys
I wonder why they always take Phil away for a whole day so he can help recreate something that someone else that didn't dig could have done. After all they only had 3 days and I thinks it's much more interesting what is in the ground. Usually they don't find anything until the third day and then it's over. Another day could have been good too. Especially since it seems that no one will dig in most of these places again.
Maybe so but I just think 3 days were not much and I was always eager to see what they might find:) Phil was my favorite:) Doing fine and you?? I still have an old one side picture from 16 magazine of Jack Wild from when I was about 10 years old. It still has kisses all over I made by borrowing my mom's lipstick and kissing the picture all over:) Did you watch Oliver Twist? Mark Lester was also such a cutie:) No one in my country knows who Witchiepoo is:)
Doing so also gives younger archaeologists opportunity to gain valuable experience on a dig. I'm sure that if anything really important is discovered Phil be be there in a flash!
Yea he like to do it i would to he loves to rebuild things that he finds to. making his own neolithic tools metals so on, he gets into a dig when he is need the most like when a site is really ruined.
Celto Loco Since that "tool's" remarks are gone from this thread I don't know what he said that got you up. BUT as a Dad (any ass can be a father) as a DAD of three girls I am with you all the way. Too many dudes (they're not men) do not treat females as anything but "a piece" and that doesn't cut it with me either. Thanks for taking the lead, and I am right there shoulder to shoulder with you all 200lbs of this high iron (tower climber) guy.
No doubt, I've seen your behavior (it's always good) and I figured his remarks were beyond the normal ignorance sometimes found in the average comment thread on YT.
Celto Loco I thought I was the only one who would "reconsider" my posts. As far as "buttons pushed" I'm the same. I've got ten and heaven help the poor soul who tries for number 11..I may be old (59), but I am creative. I don't get "mad" but I do get even....HAHA
My reasons are much the same when I reconsider. Sometimes what struck me as humorous when I wrote it, 10 or 15 minutes later, doesn't quite look the same as I had intended in print. I have a "George Carlin" type view of the world and many don't appreciate or comprehend that bent...
Celto Loco And most are sadly lacking in their ability to communicate as well. I grew up in the 60's and 70's myself and I take pride in articulating my thoughts no matter how "off" they may be from today's "group think"...

A dodgy butcher wouldn't have slaughtered and sold off horse meat as beef considering horses are significantly more expensive than cows. Unless they weren't in the middle ages for some reason. Or unless the horse got lame or died of old age and the butcher in question still wanted to make profit of it. Which would bring with itself several new problems if the animal was old or a carrion. It would most probably render the meat very hard and unpalatable. The horse was slaughtered and eaten because there must've been some situation of crisis that resulted with the inhabitants of the castle facing starvation. My grandfather who was a horse artillery soldier in the first world war (I am almost 40 and a late child of late children) recalled an incident from the front where the troops had been cut off from the provisions for some time and had to kill a few of their horses to not die of hunger. They mourned the animals greatly as they were very attached to them, but also noticed that horse meat is very tastful. Still, horse is too expencive and too useful in so many more ways than other animals are and in normal situation it's not economically sensible to breed horses for culinary purposes. I'm not forgetting the horses which as of today end up as an ingredient of some dog food variations. Those are the unfortunate creatures which were bread for all sort of purposes starting from the horse races and ending at the farm work. But along the way something got very wrong for them, got severly injured and were no longer able to serve their original nor any other practical purpose that would make feeding any keeping them financially justified.
Phil - I'm gonna have to bestow upon you - the Title: "Sir Honorary Irish Beer Knight" 🍀 - the man has an uncanny ability of "Digging up - Everything Brew Natured"! *lol - He's a "loveable lil Digger"!*
Tony never thanked the Cooper for the pint in the end scene just ignored him and cheersed Phil 😳 he could get kicked out of the British people union for that.

@@deborahparham3783 you're correct, and almost every one of them was knitted for him or gifted to him by fans. He was a lovely fella. The world is truly an emptier place without him.
@@SkunkApe407 Very well said. He was a very special man and is sorely missed.
17:54 ironic considering the scandel of a few years ago.
I also really like Ian!
We did start eating horse at some time. It was uncommon, but horse sausage was for sale in supermarkets. Indeed it appears it is still for sale.
Horse really isn't bad. I've eaten it a few times, and it wasn't too different than beef. Much leaner, but the taste was fairly decent.
Phil phuckin' rules!
Phil is a trip!
When I daily work in dirt, I use Surgical gloves. I notice the people on show rarely have gloves on. It has just occurred to me: What lotion or oil do they use for their skin?
They don't. Gloves impair the use of the trowel, where 'feel' (how hard or yielding a context is, where an edge is, and so on) is so important. Surgeons use gloves for keeping harmful bugs out of their patients, but soil seldom causes problems, as long as you remember the golden rule: wash your hands before eating. The only time you might wear gloves is when mattocking (using a large digging implement) to prevent blistering. People who dig for a living have hands like rhino skin, more or less.
Um, what? Surgical gloves for digging? You obviously aren't using real tools, or those latex gloves are tattered in minutes. You're also probably digging in potting soil, not rocky, debris littered dirt and clay. Sorry, but this is one of the most laughably asinine comments I've seen in a while. They're archeologists, not germaphobe gardeners.
If there was nothing known to be there before TT arrived, why was it scheduled??
Palace could be a corruption of palisades which could be a name for the pub. As in a shelter from the storm, a place to regroup. It could have also served as a palisade to stop ships from coming in and looting the supplies.
I thought that the brewery/pub could have had a name like "The Palace Inn" or something, possibly named after an actual palace in the vicinity or a large house nicknamed "the palace" - perhaps the neighbouring property, Hardbottle Place?
@@kathilisi3019 I was just coming here to say "the Palace" was probably the name of the pub that went with the brewery 🍻
I loved the ending!
I always imagined Mick to be a Hawkwind fan
Nice camera work on this one...
When you have a brewery, who needs castles, and palaces anyway.
Can anyone tell me, do the people who own the land get to keep any of the finds?
Used to go up to Lindisfarne often
I think they probably called in The Place at first and then it got gradually changed to The Palace.
That round ball at 24.48, looked like a (suspect) stone meteorite,this is why you have a magnet on hand when digging
You can find Time Team series on Amazon Prime in the U.S.
Sent71 Not all Seasons, though. 😕
@@barbmcconnaughey3070 just wait. They have the classics. If those get enough traffic, they'll probably add the last seasons. Personally though, I could do without Mary Anne and the lack of Mick, Carenza, Brigid, and Stewart. The classics episodes are the best ones anyway.
A few days ago Sky News morning show had discussion of trying to ban the UK Nat’l major race & racing
due to injuries to the horses. Might you contact Sky
w/Legends story? Current topic in UK!
Perfect intro to Legends story!! Please think about it. Try!

here you go hunni :) www.english-heritage.org.uk/content/properties/lindisfarne-priory/portico/north-britain-map
Thankyou
There goes Phil after a hard day of archaeology riding of in the sunset with a keg of beer
Why not? A man can work up a powerful thirst doing all that digging. We don't want the poor guy to get dehydrated.
I wonder why they always take Phil away for a whole day so he can help recreate something that someone else that didn't dig could have done. After all they only had 3 days and I thinks it's much more interesting what is in the ground. Usually they don't find anything until the third day and then it's over. Another day could have been good too. Especially since it seems that no one will dig in most of these places again.
Maybe so but I just think 3 days were not much and I was always eager to see what they might find:) Phil was my favorite:) Doing fine and you?? I still have an old one side picture from 16 magazine of Jack Wild from when I was about 10 years old. It still has kisses all over I made by borrowing my mom's lipstick and kissing the picture all over:) Did you watch Oliver Twist? Mark Lester was also such a cutie:) No one in my country knows who Witchiepoo is:)
Doing so also gives younger archaeologists opportunity to gain valuable experience on a dig. I'm sure that if anything really important is discovered Phil be be there in a flash!
Yea he like to do it i would to he loves to rebuild things that he finds to.
making his own neolithic tools metals so on, he gets into a dig when he is need the most like when a site is really ruined.
I think some of the "recreation" parts are filmed at different times to make the stories more fluid.
Leopararouen - Hello from Dayton.
Sadly, the Audio on this clip is horribly out of sync starting about 15 mins in and gets worse as it goes on.
Celto Loco Since that "tool's" remarks are gone from this thread I don't know what he said that got you up. BUT as a Dad (any ass can be a father) as a DAD of three girls I am with you all the way. Too many dudes (they're not men) do not treat females as anything but "a piece" and that doesn't cut it with me either. Thanks for taking the lead, and I am right there shoulder to shoulder with you all 200lbs of this high iron (tower climber) guy.
No doubt, I've seen your behavior (it's always good) and I figured his remarks were beyond the normal ignorance sometimes found in the average comment thread on YT.
Celto Loco I thought I was the only one who would "reconsider" my posts. As far as "buttons pushed" I'm the same. I've got ten and heaven help the poor soul who tries for number 11..I may be old (59), but I am creative. I don't get "mad" but I do get even....HAHA
My reasons are much the same when I reconsider. Sometimes what struck me as humorous when I wrote it, 10 or 15 minutes later, doesn't quite look the same as I had intended in print. I have a "George Carlin" type view of the world and many don't appreciate or comprehend that bent...
Celto Loco And most are sadly lacking in their ability to communicate as well. I grew up in the 60's and 70's myself and I take pride in articulating my thoughts no matter how "off" they may be from today's "group think"...
People who have archaeological positions today, Carenza Lewis, Stewart Ainsworth, Ian Powlesland, Caroline Hardie, Michael (Mick the Dig) Worthington, Katie Hirst, Niall hammond. Niall and Caroline are married.
At the end of the video it shows Phil driving away in a cart with barrels of beer. Wouldn’t the beer 🍺 go flat with all of the shaking around ?
depends how fast you drink it. And the rate Phil was going, that didn't seem much of a concern ...
that round-ball looked like a stone meteorite..i hope they saved it
Or maybe because it was so lopsided, thus potentially dangerous, it was set aside and forgotten.
Maybe the "cannonball" was trebouchet shot?
A dodgy butcher wouldn't have slaughtered and sold off horse meat as beef considering horses are significantly more expensive than cows. Unless they weren't in the middle ages for some reason. Or unless the horse got lame or died of old age and the butcher in question still wanted to make profit of it. Which would bring with itself several new problems if the animal was old or a carrion. It would most probably render the meat very hard and unpalatable.
The horse was slaughtered and eaten because there must've been some situation of crisis that resulted with the inhabitants of the castle facing starvation. My grandfather who was a horse artillery soldier in the first world war (I am almost 40 and a late child of late children) recalled an incident from the front where the troops had been cut off from the provisions for some time and had to kill a few of their horses to not die of hunger. They mourned the animals greatly as they were very attached to them, but also noticed that horse meat is very tastful. Still, horse is too expencive and too useful in so many more ways than other animals are and in normal situation it's not economically sensible to breed horses for culinary purposes. I'm not forgetting the horses which as of today end up as an ingredient of some dog food variations. Those are the unfortunate creatures which were bread for all sort of purposes starting from the horse races and ending at the farm work. But along the way something got very wrong for them, got severly injured and were no longer able to serve their original nor any other practical purpose that would make feeding any keeping them financially justified.
Love visiting here and getting trapped on
Audio not synced for this ep, but its not far off…
The sync of voice is off I feel like I was watching a early American released Japanese movie / TV show like Ultra Man!
Clearing away the weed? Noooooo. Next thing you know they’ll be looking for pot.
Well it is a weed,and pipes are being found......you do the math there 😊
audio out of sync for anyone else?
Nope, you're the only one, sorry...
... apart from the thousands who reported the issue before, moron ^^
Phil - I'm gonna have to bestow upon you - the Title: "Sir Honorary Irish Beer Knight" 🍀 - the man has an uncanny ability of "Digging up - Everything Brew Natured"!
*lol - He's a "loveable lil Digger"!*
Tony never thanked the Cooper for the pint in the end scene just ignored him and cheersed Phil 😳 he could get kicked out of the British people union for that.
It's METAL DETECTORISTS! @38:25 :D
What is wrong with eating horsemeat. I'm 63 and eat horsemeat. Actually I liked it a lot. Dready meat.❤
Lol i just put the play back speed to 0.25x and i cant stop 😅 it makes tony sound like he.s hamered and slering bad just messing with the speeds its weird cuz mu phone never had that till i just did a update on my you tube red
I just tried that for the first time at half speed then quarter and laughed for probably 5 minutes straight. Very strange after hearing their voices for 100 episodes, to hear it so slow but at the same pitch
Only watching this because of the TV show viking
I mean the entire show not this episode in particular
First aired on March 4, 2001.
Tony is planning a dig back at this island in September as a tribute to Mick Ashton. Here is the link digventures.com/projects/dignation/
"What the hell's that?" LOL
Archeologists who don't know man was eating horses long before they were domesticated? They are very tasty by the way.
They are! I've eaten horse a few times, and found it quite palatable.
bison > elk > horse > venison.
@@TheShootist Horse tastes better.
@@Brian1Graves not to me. though it can be unremarkable in a well seasoned stew.
@@TheShootist Try a nice piece of sirloin, hot cast iron pan, knob of butter and cook it rare. Then only thing better I have tasted amongst game is Caribou. :)
It's funny the English were afraid of the Scottish considering what the English did to the Scottish.
Perhaps it's a reasonable fear of retribution for what they did to the Scots and the Irish and the Welsh and the Cornish. Not to mention what they did to the people in India and China and any place they colonized.
What makes you think I look down on him I admire him tremendously for the work he doeos if you notice there was a LOL after what I said I was joking maybe you should learn to read properly PS. I have met Dr Phil Harding and he is a real fun person to know and what I said before still stands I have never met anybody else that can knock back as many pints in such a short time as he does LOL
