Phil is an absolute tank! If i can withstand a fraction of the stuff he goes through when i get his age... unreal.
Stewart is a legend with his landscape reading skills. I can read perhaps localized sections but cannot put it together as a whole that's really another level.
It truly is s remarkable skill. Especially when he looks past and through current features and sees a landscape from a different millennia ago we can’t even begin to imagine until the surveyor is kind enough to gift us with a cgi representation
He really is brilliant - what a great mind and seemingly good person.
I'm pretty good at landscape reading but not on such a scale as he does.
I love the early Time Team cast the most. Just a group of over educated Hippies, digging up treasures.
fatnsassy 99 - It ran from 1994-2014, over 250 episodes!
J. Haven I have a lot to catch up on then. I’ve seen a few but not that many ... yet. Give me a few. 😁
@@HollyMoore-wo2mh If you have Amazon Prime there are about 10 full seasons there
Tim Kirchhof Thank you but I do not have Amazon Prime. I watch on utube.
Marimilitarybrat you have Mick with his colorful jumpers and Phil’s love of flint.
And it all began with Mick and Phil in a cash-strapped but extraordinary Time Signs ❤️
I got goosebumps when they stood that stone back up after so many generations. I can only imagine the spirits jumping for joy that their lives and practices are being rediscovered and honored. So cool. And I love how it is part of the show to have a well deserved drink and toast to the cool shit they do.
I think it’s very cool that there are others that this happens to.
44:03 that shot, coupled with the new knowledge of all the astounding finds and insights about this site, was sublime
Interesting theory of Dr Lynne Kelly is that henges may have been memory palaces that encoded stories and tradition and natural knowledge. People gathered there and passed along knowledge verbally, using natural and man made features to aid the memory since they had no writing at the time.
Wouldn't be suprising. Many aboriginal mobs in Australia had yarning places with much the same function.
I can find the crannog and the circle on current satellite maps. Very cool to follow along where they were working with an actual map off to the side.
I can't find enough episodes that i haven't seen at least twice. Bring the show back
And they have! Two brand new digs from fall 2021, and there are more to come!
my heart is always warmed when ever I watch any of these "time team" videos. thank you ,,you wonderful people. 5/23/20
Omg does Phil every make me laugh every time here surveying in the water! Soooo funny 😁
As Phil would say, "cracking" episode.
Amazing seeing the underwater dig part. Very different from digging on land. I love that wood survives in the water and silt.
Another episode of Time Team that I've never seen before, thank you for uploading!
You can find them all there :
th-cam.com/play/PLIiLqk8xb6kP5YRNqVH7Z-AhsVeuIVzin.html
I am doing the same. Slowly going through all of them.
Just found this channel and show! Very cool show! We need a show like this on tv now. This is a great way to get the young into history and archeology and even into the technical sciences. Pretty cool! There is so much history in Europe I wish all the countries over there did this.
Support the patreon to help get it back again!
I have read that Time Team has returned this year. Just search for time team 2021 on youtube
I've been watching the series for the last few months, (catching up since settling into my camp out here in Europe) was saddened to read of Mick Astons passing,
I’ve also discovered this gem during the pandemic. Mick was wonderful!
I know! I was so upset to find out that he passed. Such an amazing person :(
Me too. I just found out about this whole series a few months ago as well
@Andro mache I disagree. Some have better personalities than others n are better at presenting n running the show
Damn that made me check the age of the others: Phil Harding is 70 by now! And Tony is 73!
Btw is Phil's accent what you'd call a West country accent?
32:00 LOL, Phil is the best part of the whole show xD
Beautiful and very interesting episode, thank you! Especially Phil's choice to spend quite some time lying face down in the freezing cold water, and his hilarious hopping over the bottom of the lake, with that futuristic-looking pole, in a diving suit.
The entire Time Team, all members of it, are such good sports, and I laughed about Tony, telling us a clue or a plan, and run out of sight almost before finishing his last sentence, popping up a little later with a new discovery that changes the vision of what they expect to find, haha. The spunk and humorous logical remarks of Tony make him one of a kind, don't you agree?
Wat
They are certainly individuals of interest each and every one of them! :D
Phil is a tank. The amount of abuse he can take to dig is beyond anything i can imagine. If i can be a third of his mental strength when i'm his age... i'd be more than happy. :))
"I'm not going in there, Henry! I'm not going in there!"
You just can't beat a good episode of Time Team whilst devouring tea and crumpets!
That is my morning ritual.
...or a fat spliff and edibles
32:34 i nearly died
reconsidering studying archaeology
poor Phil 😂😂😂
So crazy to see other surveyors doing their work. I used to survey myself. Not in England, but in Texas USA. I surveyed the oil fields in midland west of Texas and also surveyed local homes in Fort Worth / Dallas. I wish I would have kept with that career and maybe ended up doing something like this, digging up old sites.
Also I used to survey in New Mexico, not for long maybe 3 months. We found old Indian burial sites in the hills and we even sometimes would come across old Bomb shelters way out in the middle of nowhere. They were bolted and barred up most of the time, but if you were lucky you could look through and see a ton of stuff like canned food and what not.
@@BillyTheKidOfficialYT the Arctic explorers sheds has been untouched for the last 100 years the tins of food remain the same as the day they were brought there.
@@clioflano421 and it’s crazy to think they can stay good for most of that time too
@@BillyTheKidOfficialYT global warming will sort that out!!!///what's the story with your name? Apologies for if that happend when you were 9
Good Lord, this brings back memories... 😊 Just have to start from the beginning s1 e1. Thanks a lot for uploading these. 🙏🏻
Just found this series a few weeks ago. Been binge watching and running out of episodes I did not see before. Found one tonight. Making the best of a freezing cold covid night.
Time Team ran for 20 years and has aprox 250 episodes, took me 3 months to get through them all. And check out Mick 's Time Signs which was the starting of this project.
This was always one of my absolute favourite episodes!!
16 mins in a question comes up, what the water level would have been back then. If Scotland was overgrown by forests that got harvested to fire steam engines, then all those woods would have held significant rainfall and the water table would have been much lower.
Another question is about precious objects that seem to have been imported - there must have been some economically value in the region to enable buying the expensive objects that came from very far away and must have been transported via several middle men, each time doubling their price.
Why build a house for only one family on an island? - was my question.
@@HollyMoore-wo2mh - Island house? (a) in a boggy, peaty or swampy landscape you have a soggy bottom all the time. (b) On such land, you are swarmed by biting insects, when some 10 or 15 meters from shore they are not around anymore. (c) In homo sapiens' evolution and migrations we see prolonged episodes of them living in coastal areas that provide relatively easy access to abundant protein sources.
So if you have the time, physical resources, and access to sufficient labor, this is very worth wile. To me it makes a lot of sense.
For one family? Well, that will have been an extended, likely. Solitary family? Avoids conflicts with, and ritual killings by, alphas (big mouths, big dicks, big swords - M/F). Mystical thinking (a psychotic personality disorder in today's DSM) has killed lots of men and children. If you can escape that ...
JP dJ I had thought of the insect aspect of that. Thank you.
The trade wasn't necessarily capitalist based.
Basically you see your neighbour has a cool thing, you offer him a bit of your stuff done.
You don't think thing is cool anymore, so pass it on to your neighbour on the other end for food etc.
And that's how small trinkets can travel huge distances, without any for profit motivation.
@@emilychb6621 - I used the word "value" not capitalism. Profits got made already thousands of years ago, even if there was no money, but barter alone. Amber was used as amulet, e.g. in Egypt. One pharao felt he paid too much, sent his son to figure out where the source of the trade was, in order to bypass the middle men. That prince traveled to Crete, Balkan, Alps, Switzerland, Germany to the Estonia-Lithuania region. The word for Amber in other Germanic languages than English is a form of "burn stone" (as it will burn). The Swiss capital Bern, now with bears in their coat of arms may actually have been a transfer market. Middle men kept their trade routes secret in order to protect their livelihood. Walking to bring amber from Lithuania to sell in Bern, traveling dangerous forests, marshlands, surviving climate had a price. I imagine that the "sea peoples" that raided around the Mediterranean started to do so after the big volcanic eruptions (Santorini) wiped out Crete as middle man and they could not "sell" (barter trade) their products for return goods their peoples had become dependent on. This is well before 3,000 years ago (from today).
As soon as cultures and civilizations (this implies existence of a civic/city culture) spawned labor division, barter became everyday life. And with barter come both value and profit - generally at the expense of the weak, vulnerable and naive.
I have always loved Time team, they have the best job in the world. They must enjoy them selves every day. I am soo jelous, wish I had such job.
You can still re-educate yourself into an archaeologist. :)
I love Time Team. Recently found and binge watching
One of my favourite episodes . . . which is saying something.
Love the show! They seem to have such a good time!
Love these stories! Soo interesting
Phil is the star of this entire series for me...
Same here, he’s such a spunky, gorgeous ginger genious! :)
Great program!
Great Ep!
Wonderful episode, especially as a Flanagan. I was admiring her hair, and when it first revealed her name was so excited. Such a cool site!
Thank you.
Wonderful Episode
This has made my day , thank you.
This is really cool. I think tribes here in New Hampshire, US did similar things but no one seems to want to look into it. Burial mounds have been taken apart and used for fill.
They didn’t.
Lol
I love this series ❤️👍😁
I just really enjoy watching the time team working.
The wood post got me thinking about something. I found a piece of petrified wood that seems to have been a pruned branch at one point. The reason why I noticed it was because I was pruning some bramble (nut trees) encroaching my yard and when I raked the bits and pieces up one of them was heavy and didn't rake well. It honestly looked very much like the bits I had just created except it was old, old enough to be petrified. This is a bit of a curiosity to me to think that many moons ago there was someone in that very spot doing the same thing I was. This is all a fantastic thought until the idea that the forces that would have petrified that limb would also have drastically change the landscape. Surely the same type of vegetation didn't remain there all those years or even come back... I mean what kind of time and forces would have petrified a small limb in the open air that wouldn't have just rotted it??? That said I have found areas where saw dust from modern saws was petrified. What would cause such a thing, or am I somehow mistaken. Any of you scientists know???
So good.
What gems these video's are
Thank you
They are very rare.
There is another Crannog, called Mehigan's Island...Lough Allua, near Ballingeary and Inchigheela County Cork, Ireland; the only one.
An O'Leary Cheiftian is to have been buried within...
...it is very and beautiful there...see pic's...!
Henry Chapman is quite a looker.
Stewart mvp like every episode
Very cool I love watching this stuff. Thank you for sharing 🌞🌞🌞
I like Dr. Alison. She is very wise.
45:52 Tony's been probably carrying this bottle with him for the last 3 days :)
My thoughts go to the people who lived there in that time. Did they have fun? Did they do things that made them happy? We know they had some form of worship and buried their dead. I wonder what their daily lives were like and if they enjoyed life.
The crenock/island in the lake also lines up with the notch and sun.. maybe an extension of the henge.
i love Tony's "join us after the break", it's always impressively staged :D
man those highlander have been badasses since stone age times. what a bunch of gangsters, building out a place like that by hand and stone tool. Most people today would break down crying if they had to work like that today.
No lazy chavs on welfare benefits back then.
@@harbourdogNL man stick to peeing on dock pilings you ignorant pillock. We should have failed to evolve socially in the ensuing millennia? Dumbass.
Gangsters, no only royalty would have the time. Every one else would have to work.
@@ericjohnson7234 lol didn't even think of that but you are one hundred percent right. Dudes worked very hard indeed to make these im sure.
@@joshschneider9766 ;/ Hard work does not give time for people to go out and commit crimes.
Up sunrise to sun down, to raise crops and herds, to transport everything, no it is incredibly hard to do. Later on, sure, i can see that, when there wasnt a need to keep an eye on the farm or the grazing fields.
Not a whole lot is known about pre-Celtic Europe but if Irish history is any guide, there were probably five or more people groups that had settled Britian and Ireland before the coming of the Celts.
Time Team: come for the archeology, stay for all the different British accents.
Dear internet, please don’t make that dirty.
Wow.
Wetsuit Phil! Yeah!
These Scots sure seem like fun people, I think I need to check all this up close !
We are, ha. Hope you like whiskey, though. It's the national drink 😀
@@InquisitorMatthewAshcraft ? No worries, I prefer rum but my Irish and Scottish ancestry hopefully left me some sort of predisposition, so I should stand a chance ;- )
... once we get a wee dram inside, yes. Scots seem by nature a bit wary of visitors, but once their purpose of the visit is clear, we are quite welcoming. History has a role in that, too.
@@InquisitorMatthewAshcraft What about IRN BRU? ;-)
Phil looks like he's on Star Trek NG.
I love this kind of show. My dear Grama's line was from the Highlands. The McMaths.
A narrow entrance is also good for defence.
I like that a more complex wooden thing
Episode 110 (Series 11, Episode 3): The Crannog in the Loch, Aired: January 18, 2004
Anyone pop up to where the notch is visually? I would consider it!
Can you please make this available in Australia? There are many fans here that are missing out
I love this show so cool
Can anyone tell me, where I find the music from 5:01, 13:21, 54:57?
Bay-an-uck-let, blessings on you, and as you could say, agus oo hane a haritch, you as well my friend.
Don't uncover too much... all those lassies might want to make you their unmasked man.
After watching the entire video, I see it as locals being raided, building their island retreat, but being chased out,
why their valuables were hidden as they left their community. I've had that happen to me.
Tony is the time team Forman.
Thanks for posting I love the show.
No. He’s the muppet who talks to the camera. The foreman is mick, or Francis, etc.
LOL. No, he’s not the site director. He’s the presenter, and one of the producers.
Thanks for the clarification. I did get bored quickly. Theres nothing like Mick Ashton, Tony and phil Harding.
💚
I thought I watched all of the Time Team episodes but this looks totally unfamiliar and is dated 20 May 2020. Did this episode slip through the cracks or is it new?
No, it was UPLOADED on 20 may 2020, original airing date was 18 January 2004.
@@ginkarasu Thanks! The couple who now own the property were familiar but most of the show wasn't. Always good to see Time Team.

What year is this? there must be loads of fascinating stuff over there, here in Argentina we don't have that but we do have a bunch of dinosaurs :))
Dinosaurs are cool. I've been to the big pile of them up in Alberta, Canada. Really neat that they have them in situ as they fell into a river bed all those years ago.
And giants
Um , could the 'henge' be a community clock ? (sun dial)
Sure. Need to know when winter is half over, see if we need to start rationing
Phil reminds me of Darren from Graveyard Cars who does not work for me a couple days a week at my fillin station here in Springfield Ore.
Very interesting. We need a "Time Team" here in the US. Maybe the History Channel could subsidize this.
There was one “Time Team America”.
I have not heard anything good about it but you can find the episodes on TH-cam. I don’t know why producers feel the need to do that crap they do to Americanize shows in a way that ruins what made the original good. (Kitchen nightmares US/UK) “Time team America at moments, employs a approach much in favor at PBS, which worries - needlessly, I think - that the only way to make serious subjects appealing to the attention-deficit-disordered youth of our TV nation is to throw in plenty of zing, zest, and zip.... But don’t hold any of this against the show, because it’s engaging, thoughtful, smart, nicely produced and really, really interesting.” -Newsday
There you are, “Time Team America" 2 seasons 7 episodes :

Dear God, keep the effing History Channel as far away from it as possible. They'd have to dumb it down to the lowest level of your average US TV viewer. One can just imagine what a mess they'd make of it...they'd turn it into some kind of idiotic competition between different teams with horrible music.
Time team murica exist, but it is not so very serious nor professional made. The people in it are rediculus.
Damn you Channel 4!
We get it--you're an atheist. Move on. Religion is an accepted fact of human existence.
One has to wonder what types of idiots would downvote this, and their reasoning (or lack of it).
People who (unlike you) 1) Understand how the algortytims of TH-cam work and 2) got here by mistake ....or perhaps even 3) hit the wrong button by mistake (research shows this to be about ~1% btw)
@@GrumblingGrognard 1 and 2 don't explain anything bro
@@Piterdeveirs333 lol google it then! I am NOT going to explain how the predictive algorithms of TH-cam work to an idiot who is too lazy to do a search themselves.
@@GrumblingGrognard What will google tell me about the reasons people downvote videos?
@@Piterdeveirs333 You are a complete moron so apparently nothing...but who said anything about googling "down votes"? Idiot.
Why is it only 3 days at each site?
I'm Curious
atDrinkH2o , it gives them a timeline to follow for each episode and each episode has three parts (I, II, III) with commercials in between. Also many archeologists were invited to a particular episode.
@@paulholland3948 no. It was because it was a weekend thing.
Series 11 Episode 3
At the end..."They're from the very beginning of the bronze age, about 2000 BC. Which means we've uncovered 2000 years of human activity..." Ummm...wouldn't that be four thousand years?
Maybe they phrased it like that since the last 2000 years are comparably more well documented already? Meaning they discovered the 2000 years actually before Christ we didn't know much about?
I understood the comment to mean that the period from the construction of the henge
through
the habitation and abandonment of the crannog was about 2000 years.
Erma geeeerd! Is that Baldrick?!
How do you spell cranog?
Crannog
Omg it's Bauldrick!
I thought the same when I first saw this show in '97/98... Don't worry you get used to it really fast! Also he also did several documentaries/shows on called "Timeline" and "worst jobs in history". Oh and it's written Baldrick.
In thousands of years piles of stone will be found on my dad's farm. I do remember so well the annual stone picking in upstate New York
I guess working in the pouring rain all the time just wasn't enough water for them. So they go play in a loch.
Stewart is usually right.
43:00 Peatrified wood? lol
Certain early farming cultures would bury their dead under their houses! Not sure if that practice ever reached Europe.
There are examples from Late Bronze Age and Iron Age Britain as well as some cases of the burial of infants under the floors of Romano-British buildings. There is at least one example of a Neolithic longbarrow being built on the site of a dwelling, so probably a case of turning a house into a tomb.
Honestly we should all do our part to create more land
This is really cool. What a find. I had to laugh though, when they presumed the post was wood. If the post was actually made of wood, it would be the most hardy wood in the universe. Unless the wood petrifies under water, wood rots pretty quickly --definitely, before thousands of years have passed.
Depending on water temp and how much it’s been covered by other material wood can last a long time. There are some well preserved wooden ships sunk in Lake Superior, mostly because she is so cold year round at depth.
@@juangonzalez9848 Right. That is in water though, not in soil. I'm from Michigan.
There are so many sunken ships and they make great diving trips. People think the Great Lakes are just lakes and don't take them seriously. Then, they realize they made a mistake because it is like an ocean. Then, they sink. Lots of them.
Actually no, it completely depends on the acidity of the soil and the amount of oxygen in it
@@wynwilliams6977 So, then where is the wood of this post? Yeah, it rotted away.
@@VidarrKerr did you have a point at all or did you just not comprehend what I wrote?
This appears to me to be a large Sundial Time Piece considering the post in the middle aligned with the rising sun.
Very well could be, also maybe a type of calendar. They certainly knew about time back then. It played a huge part in their daily lives (possibility of life or death, planting, harvesting, animal husbandry, etc).
It really annoys me whenever archaeologists find something and immediately say it was religious. They don't actually know that.
David Mac Ritchie's Ancient & Modern Brits... Modern Occidental Europeans(Goethe Slavics) hadn't arrived yet...
Im serious when I ask this, I'm not being facetious or sarcastic at all. I'm actually curious for historical reasons: How is it that the team here can tell just by the sites shape and location that a religious structure was placed there and not just the house of an either lucky or rich man of ancient times that lived near the man made island because of the scenery or just being of high status? Or maybe even a worker/group of workers and/or priests that lived or operated out of the area to build and eventually serve out of the area near by and then in the temple itself or whatever before it all flooded? Or is the small circle before you begin digging it up just obvious as to what it probably was just BECAUSE of the proximity to the now flooded temple?
If anyone from the team that worked on the video or just in the comments is a trained teacher, historian, archeologist, paleontologist or whatever (please forgive my atrocious spelling, my phone's auto-correct didn't help here for some reason), please let me know what YOU know lol
Edit: I'm about to start a year long trade school course on Massage Therapy, so I can begin to afford supporting myself without a disability check, because I'm physically fine for the most part and on medication for my other medical needs.
Pretty much, I might be a little slower in the mind than I used to be, now that I'm almost 30, but I can do certain things I think at this point, as long as I take the extra time I know I need to learn something, I at least never forget almost anything once it "sticks" in my mind.
Edit: Point being, I can handle massage therapy, but it's not what I want to do forever, just until I'm maybe 50 and feel like relaxing a little more on the job, physically, and letting my brain do the work, so I won't technically need to retire until I'm either feeble or dead, if I don't feel like it.
But by 50 I want to have earned a doctorate in world history, music theory, theology, and "dead" ancient languages - specializing in the ancient Davidic Religions languages like ancient Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek/Latin and Old English for that and other literary reasons.
Look at it like this, in most UK towns and villages there are christian churches and of course houses, churches have a pretty distinct shape and set of basic features, the include external buildings with known uses and within a certain distance from the main church building you can be fairly sure they are connected and so do houses so even just by the basic shape of any remains you can tell pretty quickly if it is a church or a house
There have been others sites with similar characteristics.
Archeology in not only England but Europe has been cataloging for over a hundred years building on everything before.
Wow so the imported goods suggest that they had a kind of monetary system, perhaps the arm rings were used like coins.
You mean like manila bracelets? It could be.
I can't believe these prehistoric people actually lived under water... Well you learn new things every day
Never heard of selkies?
Ahhh, that's where Dubai got that idea!?
A billionaire Arab getting an idea from a Bronze Age submerged Island off the coast of Scotland...I guess weirder things have happened!
When they talked about the horde find why did they talk to people like It was found in their yard when the woman say it was blasted out of a quarry up the hill about 2 miles away sorta misleading
Well they did say their property rather than their yard. Apparently their property is somewhat vast.
