The first episode on this post, the lady who was found, the “river worn” pebble with the ring thru it is a hagstone; there’s a long folkloric tradition of these being used as protective talismans against hexes, curses, and evil spirits, as well against harm, it’s also believed that looking thru a hagstone would let someone see the unseen, looking at the spirit world and fae folk
Thank you for sharing! ❤
I get really excited when I find an episode of time team that I've never seen. Great show.
They have all 20 seasons of the classic TT on prime. It's so fun to go back and watch the early episodes!❤
I like guessing how old the episode is based on Tony’s hair. Or lack there of.
Got a little teary eyed at the end of the first episode, the young lady with her loyal friend and pet
2:11:25 Not sure as to why they would be so confused about the proliferation of double burials at this site. Back then cultures were so localised that it is entirely possible that these people had different practices and probably even a very different dialect than the folks 50 km down the road. Trading was widespread, as far as the Med, but cultures remained very distinct form one another for centuries. That's still reflected in the UK today. Ask any kid from Jarrow today to listen to a voice recording of someone from 80 or a hundred years ago and ask them if the accent is different; It will be, but it still won't be mistaken for anything other than Geordie. Although there are still subtle differences between Jarrow, and South Shields and area that local speakers can pick up.
The small dog in the young woman's grave 😢 my imagination goes wild thinking what their lives were like
Holy crap !!!! Guys there’s a day four ?! In all the history of time team . This is an amazing amazing episode!.
Being new to the show - great show by the way - why are they limited to three days? Is the dig just shut down or is more work done later? Thanks
That's just the constraint the format of the show put on itself. They could spend years at each site, but the whole Hit and Run DIY style was to entice and reveal to the public how much history there is and how "easy" it is to reveal more about it.
This episode specifically really hit home the setup, that went lost a little as the show grew and got more access to stuff, about how the woman who found the skull initially is central to the story of the episode.
Annoying because I watched this 2 maybe 3 weeks ago on another history channel. If you havent seen it, its one of the best episodes.
the first 49:44 minutes was uploaded by this channel a month ago.
@@Foche_T._Schitt... I was about to agree with the commenter, til I read your mesg😂 and realised that you are right😂😂
This episode is brilliant❤
Literally came on just to say the same thing. Silly clickbait stuff I’d guess.
@@jacquiedwards160😊
Don't watch it than
Just a wonderful episode/episodes. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you. Just remarkable finds 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Thanks guys,greatly appreciated,especially coverage of the last rewarding dig,mystery is why the dual burials,further examination skeletons etc could reveal more,cheers.
This video is fascinating!!
Haha nice...Tony looking young and sprung😂
I wonder why geophysicists doesn’t include a shallow seismic survey. I would think it would do a great job of identifying graves in limestone
My guess is permitting.
The first 49:44 minutes was uploaded one month ago. Skip ahead for the next video if you already seen it.
RAKSHA ALWAYS MORE RAKSHA😊
Baba kanush.
One really weird thing is that for some reason people aren't able to comprehend the idea that even though the average age of death of people was much lower, that most people lived to beyond their 60's in history as well. The average age of death says more about the death within the first couple of years of life, than all the years beyond that.
Amazing!!!!!!
Where do all of this channel's documentaries come from?
Time Team has its own channel too
Beautiful episode! 👏👏
love to see a piece of history unfold, but i wonder if they are really anglo saxon and not roman who lived and died there
Why?
Would be great if someone dug these skulls out of whatever storeroom they're currently gathering dust in, and tried to extract DNA to see if they were indeed related.
An even better larger project would be to collect as many DNA samples as possible from the various archives and establish descendants over time, as there are sure to be many...it would be no surprise to match a medieval skeleton with a Dark Age ancestor.
There brave taking his items that were buried with them 😳
The dead people aren't using them anymore. Would you rather they corroded into red and green stains in the soil? Besides, the artifacts are usually stored with the skeleton they were discovered with, so as to remain in context.
I always wondered what the difference is taking from the newly dead from taking to the centuries-old dead? Isn't it basically the same.
@@susieturk1 No. The centuries and millennia old dead no longer have living members of their close family alive to be offfended. We also know exactly how people in the last few hundred years lived thanks to written record keeping and eventually recordings and video. There's little to no written records that remain from certain periods. That's why stealing dead great-aunt Tillie's brooch is grave-robbing and digging up the grave of an Anglo-Saxon from 600 AD are different. Which is not to say that we shouldn't treat the remains with care and honor their beliefs when known.
Okay. I now want to be buried with my dog's ashes. God that part proke me.
👍Pat and Morris!
If nobody has proffered an answer for the weapons: maybe this was a tribe of Anglo saxons that believed in Valhalla.
Wodin is just their word for Odin. So maybe, even though most of their neighbors didn’t, this tribe believed in Valhalla.
hmm. Middle aged, Eh? Henry is falling apart. Periodontal disease, osteoarthritis, neck deterioration. Are we going to attempt to get some DNA out of his teeth? What was his diet?
Life was a lot harder and people aged faster.
If you watch to the end, it shows he was sixtyish based on his teeth . Quite elderly for the time.
Just goes to show no matter where your laid to rest eventually it ends up built over with time, which then makes you wonder how many more are buried deeper within the earth 🧐
Someone dares to wear short shorts 😂😊
Yes, Mick, and it's not a pretty sight. And a lot of the women have their boobs hanging out. You gotta wonder why. It doesn't seem professional, but maybe it is just for the show.
Ah. Archaeologists specialising in the medieval period not medieval archaeologists at all.😅.
Thanks. Yours sincerely.💝🙏🕯
Yes. He was certainly interpreting the sculpture based on his own biases, thus completely subjective, and completely off-putting.
i love stories about Pre Viking Saxons and Pre Christian Saxon stories.
