What a great episode. I loved Mick’s reaction when Stewart pointed out the Roman street from the helicopter. There was a little bit of everything in this one. Discoveries, History and good humor.
I've always loved history. But the UK has some of the most fascinating archaeology in the world. So many time periods to study and discover. Doggerland and the mesolithic are my favorite atm. But Romes occupation of Britain is absolutely intriguing. Thank you Time Team. Without this show I probably would have never been introduced to these layers of my heritage. 🙏
Spain is perhaps a bit more fascinating, as there one finds human bones 500,000 years old, cave art 20K y.o., the last Neanderthals, diverse Celtic, Iberian, proto Basque, Phonecians, Greeks, Romans, Goths, Muslims. It's breathtaking, IMO.
If anything, he at least really succeded academicly, currently lecturing at University of Chester as Professor Ainsworth FSA, MCIfA. He most likely enjoyed being more home with his wife and kids too, as he stopped doing the 3(4)-day excursions every week after leaving TT.
Mick always stresses me out hanging out of that helicopter lol, he’s always on the outside. Rest In Peace Mick, Victor and Robin. I love this show so much, history and archaeology have always interested me.
Absolutely fascinating! An entrepreneur diving head first into the new Roman way of doing things and, presumably, making a fortune from his prescience.
This is one of the absolute best TT episodes. Given so much freedom to dig (I am assuming a freshly harvested hay crop), and with so much expert advice and collegial good will, they produced a very satisfying end result. The first time they mentioned how close three villas were, I thought the builder of this one must have moved, and they actually mentioned it as a possibility.
I'm from Massachusetts so I'm used to graveyards that are at most like 400 years old (hell the one near the art building at my college is 300 years old at most, but not in use, because it's historical), I have been to Arlington though, it's amazing. But, being partial to Ma Plymouth plantation is quite the sight to see, as is old Boston (just follow the freedom trail to Revere's house and you are walking on original cobblestone). yet with all the old we still put plaques on hundred-year-old houses as if it's a marvel.
Hello from England! We are blessed with our history over here. I have been too Windsor Castle, Hampton Court Palace, and the Tower of London, all 3 are amazing places to visit, with plenty of artefacts on show.
Be glad there are the plaques if you want any hope of those 100 y.o.'s getting to any great age. Although as even real, alive people's desire and legitimate claims de protect their land and property of any age are being trampled under the corporations' hordes of lawyers (abuse of eminent domaine for private interests) and bulldozers, there is absolutely no guarantee anything can last over there.
Try being in the west USA. We have Native American sites but they are hidden to protect them so we marvel at things that are 50 years old. We have a few early 1900s buildings but beyond that nothing for the public to see so we just admire the natural scenery and we have that in abundance. I’m so jealous of the Brits.
The tribulum threshing sled was usually ridden by the operator. The same artifact was employed up to the 1950s on Cyprus, where the last industrial flintknappers worked making teeth for such sleds. I have postcard showing one in use. The farmer has wired a kitchen chair to the sled to sit on as he guides the donkey around the threshing floor.
Almost exactly the same devices were still in use in rural Spain and Portugal a generation ago. And I have seen the circular threshing floors on some quinoas here in central Portugal. Sad,y, such features are not valued, recorded or preserved.
@@judeirwin2222 I was mostly interested in the sleds at the time I first heard of them because Cyrpiot flint knappers would travel around "retoothing" the bases of the sleds. Oddly, around 15 years ago (maybe more) I and a crew walked into a restaurant in Henderson, Nevada. An interior decorator had shipped a cypriot threshing sled all the way to to Nevada, just to lean it against the wall by the door. It still had most of the flint teeth. The hostess was baffled by my strong interest in an old "thing."
Geez but my ignerent Murican arse do loves these shows. LOL In all seriousness, thanks for posting. So much history to catch up with, so little lifetime. Keep on learning.
"Dig done 23 years ago" "dig in 1978" so, this episode was filmed in 2001. And, being the 8th season, it means Time Team started in 1994. (If I got my math right)
Hello dr. Phil I really like the flint-knapping it's fascinating to understand from the Stone Age all the way up into the steel age the Iron Age were they made iron heads for the arrows but flint-knapping was used for a lot of things they made hammers they made knives with them and all sorts of other things that they can imagine some arrowheads you can find in Jasper which is really nice so yeah I do like flint-knapping it is great without it you couldn't survive just think of that Doctor Phil truly wonderful to see this brilliant just brilliant Elvis I'm still in the building man I'm learning the boat archaeology anthropology and specially the art of Flint knapping
According to Wikipedia's list of Time Team Episodes, this is episode 4 of the 8th season, and the preceding episode in your playlist is in fact episode 5 of the same season.
The jumpers didn't appear until later. In the earlier series he wore his Sight Savers T shirts, championing a worthy charity that provides operations for thousands of people in places like India and Africa who are blind simply because they can't get a simple op. In those days 2 quid would pay for an op and give people their sight and lives back. Like Mick I was a supporter and it felt great paying my 2 quid a month knowing it would help someone see again! You don't get many bargains like that! When he first appeared on my screen in his T shirt I was like 'Wow! I am going to like this bloke and this programme!' When I found out he was born not far 'up the road' from me, I liked him even more! The stripey jumpers came later. He wore the original in some cold weather episodes and the viewers loved it. Some lady started knitting them for him, and by that time the producers liked the idea of them having a trademark look - Mick¡'s jumpers, Phil's' hat, so the jumpers got a starring role. Like Phil's hats it is not the same one over and over. If you look the colours and stripes change. www.sightsavers.org
Josephine Potts... Was walkin' 'round her lot... She tripped on a thing in the ground... What was it she had found?... Miss Potts had discovered some pots.
People forget that the Roman province of Britannia lasted longer than the British Empire even existed - and that there were many Roman provinces that had been in existence for hundreds of years before Britannia became one of Rome's later conquests. Nevertheless, far from being just a backwater, as many earlier historians thought, Britannia became a very thriving and important part of the Roman Imperium, both commercially, economically and militarily - having one of the largest provincial armies in the whole empire, as one can clearly see from the amount of military sites found in Britain from the south of England to the north of Scotland. 😋
hello Tony how are you and dr. Phil and dr. Mike I hope we're going to explore something really wild and exciting I love these shows man I'm so addicted to them it isn't funny and I take it as dr. Murray May recommend dated I find time team a fascinating program the reason is to explore strange areas and seek out the knowledge that it contains and if you have a slight drip get some Fisherman's friend it's great for Kohl's but I like time team I can't get enough of it I like the educational part of it always like to learn and if I can't get enough time team I just can't find anything else that will relax me I have studied archaeology and anthropology throughout my life it's freezing up I can't get down on my hands and knees and do it myself I have a pituitary gland brain tumour and I need a hip replacement anybody know the nearest garage where I can get this done great sense of humour but back to The Dig so I can hear about this exploration fastening just fascinating
one really has to watch more than one episode to understand that - we have only 3 days to find out - spiel. And one thing i am sure off, not everything the team says, Tony Robinson, Professor Aston, Varenza Levis , the -Geo Fizz - team and Phil Harding is scripted. Their -bantering - ist just priceless!!
What is so pervy about finding someone attractive? As long as they're not rude about it, I don't mind, and fail to see the problem with it since it hurts no one.
Why is it always 3 days?? Why not 3 months or 5 days? Why so short a time?? I mean they are very good but 3 days would just scratch the surface for the historian in me...
Rachel Collins Its a weekly show, they need the rest of the time to edit the footage, write the narration and record it. Many of the sites went on to be excavated and some a museums now.
The time limit has nothing to do with editing, that was all done by the network. The limit comes because all of the archaeologists, experts and others have 'day jobs'. Tony is an actor, and the others work for Universities, County archaeology departments, or are in business for themselves like John Gaiter. They basically take a Friday off, do this show on the weekends, and have to be back at work on Monday. Many times, however, some other archaeology group come back to work more on the sites dug by Tie Team, especially if they find something unique.
They start out with a question (or more), and 3 days are enough to answer them. As a TV-show, not a full on dig, 3 days are perfect to get everything needed done.
@@basstrammel1322 thank you for taking the time to reply even tho the question was a year old. This was one of the first episodes I ever watched...it took me a few more to get the format of the show but even from my first episode I was hooked.
I think I'm going to put a thumbs on up on this one Tony it's really fascinating I'm really enjoying it with the lessons on the side is truly extraordinary I'm flabbergasted in this dick to see the things that I seen I do believe that woman's brooch that you found belonged to a Slave in some of the movies Roman movies that I have seen over the years the slaves get the the worst of the worst
Depends on what you are trying to make, for example a scraper or cutting edge is pretty easy. On the other hand an arrowhead or spear point is a very different story.
I found a worked flint piece that had different edges chipped on it for different jobs. It fit my hand perfectly as each thumb well was perfect in size and located on either side so the piece could be used by a person with small hands. Obviously lots of skill is needed to make it fit to someones basic hand size and making a multi use tool. It's from Northern California and I found it on my property I had then, about 25 years ago. It is my favorite piece of neolithic tools I've found. Most I recovered as the shape was unusual. I didn't realize they were stone tools until I watched this show. I feel very honored to have them. I don't remember where I picked them up. I'm a rockhound and pick rocks up wherever I happen to be. Thanks T.T. for educating me and developing my eyes to see edges of shapes when looking for specimens.
Love it when a tent just casually walks by.

I don't remember where I picked them up. I'm a rockhound and pick rocks up wherever I happen to be. Thanks T.T. for educating me and developing my eyes to see edges of shapes when looking for specimens.
