One of the things that I really like about Time Team videos is that everyone truly loves what they do, the young lady with the cattle vertebra says " Another really nice piece is part of a cattle vertebra". To someone who isn't an archeologist that looks like a small rock, but to her it was a nice find. I think loving what you do for a living is important.
I can picture these fine gentlemen surveying in the field ending their day of hard work in the nearest pub, being content with the day's findings and having 7 pints of local brew. Each.
It's never too late. Amateurs with professionals are digging up dinosaur bones in Queensland Australia right now. And since it seems to me archaeology is almost everywhere in the UK there must be somewhere interested people could have a go.
I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely documentary. I learned so much. For example, coulter being the cutting part of the plow, and Scots cootyre being a safe place for cows. Colter being a horse herder. AND hollow way/holloway being a sunken lane, caused by travel over it compressing the soil. Holloway was my mother-in-law's maiden name, a milliner born in 1899.
This gradual decline in the 17th century, overlooks the generations stolen by the civil war conscription, Naval press gangs, and the early industrial revolution. It's not hard to imagine every able bodied man disappearing from these villages overnight, never to be seen again.
More like jnfantry and cavalry, but the country-side had well-fed strapping men, as compared to those press-ganged from the city folk 'poor'@@mrbrightside4278
They couldn’t. One, Ch 4 wasn’t going to fund expeditions longer than that; two, the archaeologists weren’t just hanging about at loose ends - they’re professionals and/or academics from different areas in the UK who have regular jobs to go to Monday mornings. That’s why TT episodes were filmed over the weekend, Friday morning to Sunday evening. And finally, Mick Aston planned the show that way. They’re not intending to completely excavate a site entirely; their goal is site evaluation- finding out the nature of a site and whether it warranted further exploration by local archaeology councils.
@PaulKinley54Those particular fields would be low yielding because of the stone debris close to the surface. Drought and fertility for nutrients would be concerns even if used as animal forage.
"Bridget always gets the Save!" ☀️ I dont always agree with Mick, but I always love him, and Stewart, Helen, Phil ......... and I know Mick soars with the Stars. ✨💛🌙.
Probably a coincidence, but swedish town/village names usually end with -by as well, since that means ''Village'' in swedish. So at first I thought it was an old viking colony. Ulna Village
By doesn't mean farmstead, it means village and Ulna is a common name here in Scandinavia, it comes from the sun god Ull. So Ulnaby means Ull's village.
@@LuzMaria95 She probably got it mixed up with bo, that means dwelling/home/nest. But at that time, it was more common to use the end "tuna" (example Eskilstuna) for a farmstead, but that actually describes the fenced in area. Tun are the word for the courtyard between houses and are still in use today, even if it's not super common anymore.
@@abrogard142 I had to dive deep into my books and the only source I found, was from a runestone in Katrineholm. It says the following: "inka : raisti : stain : þansi : at : ulai](f) : sin : [a…k] : han : austarla : arþi : barþi : auk : o : lakbarþilanti : [anlaþis" (Inga raised this stone after Olov, her heir. He plowed east with the bow and in the land of the lombards, he died.) Anlaþis means to end your life/die. But take that possible translation with a grain of salt. The name can have changed a lot if the people living there couldn't pronounce the Norse word anymore.
@@abrogard142 I dove deeper and checked out your village. The name have changed over time and it's the village of Óláfr. So yes, it's a norse village. Olof (as we spell it today), is a name.
And, ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you the difference between an archaeologists and me, or 'why I'll never be an academic': Them: "and here we have the lip of some pottery." Me: "funny shaped rock." T: "this rock wall isn't a part of a house, but the superstructure guarding the house." M: "rocks." T: "now, this shiny glazd means the pottery isn't from our target time, but actually the 18th century." M: "shiny rocks."
*picks up lump the size of a postage stamp* This is part of a dinner plate 11 inches in diameter, made of red lead glazed pottery in 1327 by a potter named Nine Fingers Aelfred in York. On Coppergate Street.
@mrdanforth3744 "He was wearing a shirt for the fourth day in a row, judging by the obfuscation in the ceramic layers. He always hated that particular shirt, if memory serves."
The village consists of a manor house, a road leading to a green, and a number of tenants' strips of land, extending perhaps a hundred yards from the road. So what is beyond that hundred yards? It's a long way t the next village .. is it all dragons and turtles all the way down?
Arable land and pasture land. The farm laborers lived in the village and went out to the fields to work. Plowing and planting, and tending flocks of sheep and herds of cattle. Droves of hogs were taken to the woods to feed in the day time. At harvest time the whole village would turn out to bring in the peas, beans, oats, wheat, barley, and rye. The woods supplied timber and fire wood. Only the lord of the manor was permitted to hunt the game animals that lived in the woods.
I'm curious, how does a village like that get covered up? Is it simply run off over the centuries and a build up of soil, or did some later farmer/etc cover it all in and use the land on top etc?
A combination of those things, plus vegetation dying, decomposing and turning into soil. Every year dead vegetation adds another thin layer and over time that could be several inches or several feet.
I am part of a modern farm family which farms land where homes once stood. Every once in a while, a sink hole develops where a basement used to be, and a tractor falls in...the past eating the present.
When you draw something like a plough you want to show all the working parts Iimagine. They didn’t use the books as a ‘how to make it’ manual rather as a ‘this was us’, social media of a sort.
What if the name Ulnaby is inspired by the old norse god Ull/Ullr? Ul/Ull/Ulle-names are very common in south-eastern Norway and east and mid-Sweden, and it is seen as a part of Swedish early-mid iron age expansion. "By" is most definitely from the iron age, perhaps later, and means "city in both Norwegian and Swedish.
Every now and again, I have trouble with the vision my favorite archaeologists are trying to show me. Try as I might, I see rubble , not walls. I see the village better on the geophys than in the ground, sadly.
To be fair, it can sometimes be difficult to spot in the field even for archaeologists, especially when there's a lot going on in the trench. I once dug the site of a medieval farm. We could only dig it in three trenches next to each other, one after the other (because we had no space for the soil). So we couldn't see the whole thing at once. We had many big pits, ca. 0.8-1.0 metres in diameter. But it was only when our surveying technician showed me the plan (with a grin) that I could fully see what was going on. It was jawdropping...the pits were huge post holes so on the plan the shape of a very big house (half-timbered, hence the posts) popped up right in front of our eyes. 😳😆 It can sometimes be very surprising to see the stuff on the plans, really, because it's hard to see the forest for the trees. 😂
St Augustine and other sites in Florida date to the 16th century, which is fascinating, but I agree. Visiting England and seeing buildings over 1000 years old still standing is pretty incredible.
Oh boy, I wish I could add to their geophys, this is such an old way of doing it. Geophys can outline items the size of tanks now with pucks the size of soccer balls that you set out for a week prior to work.
I'd like to see an epidsode where Tony is subjected to a "viva" examination (UK PhD oral examination) . He's had twenty years in the field, he should be able to handle it. Doing it as his "speech" at a graduation would make it double the fun!
Rite,, I have learned a bit of contempt for his stance on everything,, I know it's made to be "funny" but it's annoying. Watching the earliest time teams Tony is a quiet, respectful, out of place person .
3 days…. I really will never understand why the 3 day time limit. I mean as an archaeologist it seems an impossible task to excavate anything in 3 days unless you have 1000’s of workers and machinery which is always difficult wil how delicate archaeology can be
Usually digs have permits especially since this is on someone’s private land and they try to have them in between school terms cause otherwise professors and students would be in classes and also money wise they need food and housing or transportation depending on how far they live from the dig
