To the kid who said “that’s an Iron Age pint, innit?”… don’t ever change my dude
I have lived virtually alone for the last 10 years and whenever I need to hear friendly voices I watch one of these episode's. It doesn't matter now which one it is, I've watched them all, several for a few of them. They never grow tiresome and I learn something new every time.
I agree - I love these episodes. I'm an Anglophile born and raised in California and I marvel at the history and what they uncover in these digs. I hope someday I have the chance to visit England but until then it's the Time Team! lol
Every Sunday I used to go up to my best friend's house (RIP my dearest) and we'd watch Time Team together. These uploads are my comfort viewing now, too. Stick one on in the background and the housework virtually does itself.
I will likely never go to Britian, only found these during the pandemic, but they are a comfort to me, too.
Have faith in the blood of Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Nothing we do in the flesh will ever surmount what Christ did on the cross for us all. The KJV bible is the best translation... I love these videos too haha
Why do you feel the overwhelming need to interject your Jesus and religion into a conversation?@@21EpicFail Give it a rest, believe as you wish but, don't push it on others, it's such an abrasive behavior.
During COVD I made a hobby of finding each site on Google Earth Time flew by and I learned UK history and geograaphy painlessly !
what a great idea.
I share Micks scepticism about dowsers. And I wonder why Tony was so enthusiatic about them . But this makes the whole show so relatable bc they are all different people with different characters.
Dowsing is not only an ancient art but an easily acquired skill if your mind is open. As a former teacher from Vermont I still find it amazing how some people prefer to stick
their heads in the sand
@@caroleminke6116Well, as a skeptic who has seen several double blind tests and observed dowsers in action, I always find it amazing, how many people keep their head up their behind and don't realize it's utter bunk. Of course, if they do make money from it, they do have a vested interest.
I love Tony Robinson's style. His excitement is infectious. I really feel like I'm there with him, learning about the site along with him.
Keep on making these wonderful documentaries.
They are all so quirky and loveable in their own way. They all seem to be such lovely people and would be so interesting to talk to any and all for hours.

😊😊
Love these old episodes... all the excitement and the "ugly" sweaters are just incredible archeology in itself... a time capsule and cultural immersion from my youth, lol
lol, and from my 30s. I must have missed the "ugly sweaters", I grew up in the 80s, these look like standard ones to me.
What sweaters have to do with anything I'll never know
@@James-kv6kb Mick Aston and Robin Bush are prime sweater examples !
Me too.
Then you just don't get it. Carry on.
Just randomly chose this to put me to bed and...IT'S BALDRICK!!! Awesome
Sir Baldrick in the middle episode. I as QE2 knighted him saying " I dub thee Sir Baldrick !"
It most certainly is.I said this very thing when I first discovered this gem. I loved Borrick more then Black Adder.
The Personability, Enthusiasm and Knowledge of Sir Tony Robison is infectious. Time Team was a great show and the various experts are such interesting and captivating characters.
Tony Robinson was the presenter. The soul of Time Team was Mick Aston, without him the show never would had lasted 20 years. Before this season he had left and it is no surprise, that the first year without him turned out to be the shows last.
@@crownhouse2466 thanks for that gem. I like TR as a presenter, whatever he does. He certainly never claims to be an expert yet his manner is endearing. Cheers.
@@justinludeman8424 - And he should not claim archeological expertise. I found him to be in over his head on "Time Team" and an annoyance. Some of us watched the show IN SPITE of Robinson, not because of him. In the documentaries where he flew solo and stuck to the script, he was much better. I especially enjoyed the documentary where he helped to debunk the so-called "holy grail".
@@MossyMozart - fair enough, although I suspect he is a more adept presenter than the real archeologists might have been, indeed, I find it hard to imagine the show without him to oversee its narration and presentation. I concur regarding the Holy Grail debunk and Da Vinci Code noise, that was excellent viewing. He has a rather sly and dry wit too.
Not to me he does this a twit
Don't care if I've seen them before. Anytime I get a 3 for 1 set of episodes is a good day.
for all Americans ...corn is term described for wheat,barley etc.
what you call corn,is called maize in the UK.
Thank you for the clarification
What you call "maize" in the UK, we use as a term for a winding series of tortuous passages.
Isn't English wacky place to place?
@@Synathidy joking? That's 'maze.'
@@Synathidy No, that's "maze", not "maize". The word "maize" comes from a Native American word. Most European countries use a derivation that. Look it up.
@@ColinMcCormack Hopefully we can civilise them in time :P
My uncle was a dowser- his business was drilling for water for farmers in Queensland Australia. He was very successful.
miss Victors'drawings,Micks common sense ,and Stuarts brilliant insights in the landscape😢
Me too!!!
I totally agree
Time Team needs more Time, they only ever get like 3 or 9 days. and then it rains...
But sometimes they return.
Don't forget, during the week many of them have other jobs. Mick is a professor at Bristol University, Robin is the archivist for Somerset, Phil works for Wessex Archaeology, Carenza works for British Heritage.
I wonder if TimeTeam will ever do a return to series to show the follow up archeology for their work.
hat would be incredible!!❤
They do, sometimes! Also, I think one of the new episodes they just finished working on is actually revisiting an old site from an episode years ago -- the Anglo-Saxon graveyard, I think?
They have done several new digs. I believe that they crowd funded the new episodes on Time Team Official. Though for the new digs they had a new presenter. Though Tony and some of the old crew have done a few 'recollections' vidsnfor the chennel. Im always amazed that more people arent aware of it, considering how popular it is. Also check out Time Team Classics....just search those two titles inbthe youtube search bar and hey presto....
It does
Love the enthusiasm over our shared history. Wonderful! It's a joy to watch and learn. To think you would laugh out loud over a broken stone in a dirty ditch: ' It broke. Somebody said something rude in Stone Age and got rid of it...'. Wish kids had such history teachers
One thing to consider is sea level change over the time period of 2000 yrs is much different in the southern part of Great Britain than in the northern part. When the glaciers covered the northern part of the GB island, they weighted that part down tilting the small sub-plate that is Great Britain and Ireland so that the southern part rose up while the northern part sank down. When the glacier melted the northern part (the hinge line is somewhere around Newcastle) rose back up again and the souther part sank down. (Isostatic readjustment). The average sea level rise is about 3 ml/yr. In the the south of England sea level is rising about 8 ml/yr. This rate of sea level rise drowned the estuaries of the rivers like the Thames, the Blackwater and the River Frome forming Pool Harbour. So 2000 yrs ago Green Island would have been about 16 m higher above sea level. This might have made it bigger and the distance to shore shorter and therefore a more attractive site for a settlement.
Wait, sea level RISE means island was lower relative to sea level, meaning sea was closer. Ramparts would have been sea storm protection along with other advantages, I would have thought?
Tony taking the piss at them is pretty funny. He does have a great voice for these shows
Any time I’m feeling a bit blue. Time team comes through, and lifts me up. I’m just jealous that I didn’t have anything like this growing up in the states. Time team America is just not as captivating.
Right? We’re totally missing out in the history department here. This kind of show would have been amazing to watch growing up.
Time Team America: “oh look! We’ve uncovered a wiffle ball circa 1960”
Nor Canada. Altho' I think there was so much more to find all squeezed up in that tiny island that there wouldn't be much to find here. Except flints, much to Phil's delight. 😁
It sucks too because not only is the US an amazing place for paleontology, there used to be an amazing variety of native people whose lives and heritage have been completely disrupted and destroyed. I wish there was a way we could work with existing tribes to trace back their heritage and treat their archaeological sights with the respect that they deserve.
Although it is important to mention that there are a number of native peoples who have these sights and (understandably) absolutely do not want outsiders messing with them. So it's better to do it with the full permission from the people you're researching
@@ainerobertson78 Very well said.
A second episode starts at about the 47 minute point, and wow, they all look so young! Look at the hair! This must be a very early season.
Phil looks like he was torn between archaeology and joining an outlaw motorcycle club 🙂. Clearly he made the right choice.
I've loved this show for decades, I can't imagine why so many in the comments are whining about the music. It's Time Team music, up until the second episode at least.
Or an outlaw bicycle gang!
Tony was so young he still had the optimism of being superstitious regarding dowsing rods :D
Tony in Francis grinning at each other like school boys in the gator when it goes up the hill really just warms my heart.
These Time Team dudes make me smile. lol They are just...refreshing I don't care how old these episodes get.
Thank you to the family who owns the island for allowing Time Team and all of us to disrupt your beautiful land. From Bakersfield California USA 😊😊
Dude really danced around the subject of ramparts. They serve to define the boundary of the community within it. It lets outsiders know that they are approaching and stepping onto someone else's territory when they see those huge ramparts and maybe a few large local tribesmen standing watch.
The ramparts can also protect against dangerous wildlife and if big enough, might serve as a weather break - they are on top of a big honking hill. Ramparts don't have to be military to be protective.
A rampart may do all those things, but a rampart is strictly a military device. If it were built to do something else it would not be a rampart.
I have such a hard time with these series 20 episodes. I miss Stewart. I miss Helen Geake. I miss so many of the old crew. And what’s the deal with the music?
It was shortly after Ochta joined that Mick left the show.
Thankyou I agree music is irrelevant.
It’s so wonderful to see the kids come in, and learn about their own history ‼️😍 Thanks for your generosity. My favorite video was of the soldiers who came back with pain in their lives. Your Team gave them a chance to work with you all. I would love to see more of that. Love
Love watching these shows especially when I feel a connection. Watching this on June 1 2023. 123 years ago on this date my Maternal Grandfather was born in Cardiff.
💚🏜 the Harry Potter music is too much, love time team 💚
'Just about as much fun an archaeologist can have with their clothes on!' Yep...level of excitwment on par!
I love the dowser rambling on to explain why it didn't work.
It is so weird seeing everyone so young. It's great
I chuckled when the woman told Tony "Keep what you're thinking in your mind." Where else would he keep it? In his pocket?
Maybe she was hoping he would keep his mouth shut and not say anything else snarky about the dowser.
Ilove antiques because of the history associated with them. As kid my brothers and I found what I think was an old dump site from the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century we found probably fifty old patent medicine bottles with cork stoppers and one carnival glass bottle. Carnival glass being iridized during production.
An Oregon woman/girl here. I just love, love, love Time Team!
Phil Harding have you come back to Time Team???
God Speed
❤️🙏❤️
Enjoyed the introduction and music on this one. Of course the whole episode is pure Time Team and pure enjoyment.
I heard an episode last week to much music.All music is tp much.
I've been really enjoying these! helping me get thru a dreary winter....
one thing is for sure, their laundry bill must have been fantastic.
wonder what the local dry cleaners were thinking when they all brought their wet, muddy, loam and clay covered clothing to be laundered...
So how did they supply those hillforts with water? Were there wells or springs? Did they carry it up? Been watching documentaries on that stuff for ages now but never really thought about that. Because no matter if they were defensive "castles" or communities, that's crucial infrastructure...
many think that hillforts weren't constantly occupied, just used in times of war. On a daily basis there was probably no one up there
Rain is a near daily occurrence in the UK. A nice little cistern to store it and Bob’s your uncle!
Children are sent to fetch water. The hope is that enemy will not kill the children. But also children are kind of expendable in their eyes back then. So many died anyway and they can make another…
@@beastshawnee Highly unlikely Hypothesis...
My God! That guy can drive a backhoe!
Whoa, super longform Time Team with Sir Tony? Thank you!
Ian Powesland always seemed like a very knowledgeable archeologist. Wonder why he hardly got any camera time.
I LOVE that he has a ginger kid working on the project
I actually spent a month excavating at Caerau, South Wales, in the summer of 2014, whilst studying for a degree in archaeology at Cardiff Uni. Professor Niall Sharples was a fantastic tutor and always gave fascinating lectures.
Wonderful to see Craig expanding his horizons and getting into primary production and retail.
I grew up in Cornwall and now I'm back in my home country and just fining out about fogous
"Can we find it in only 3 days?" There's no need to worry. I'm sure he has a *cunning plan.*
Just great - and including the community is a fantastic idea. So interesting.
In Los Angles geraniums are weeds. In san francisco they are flowers
Whomever added the music over the old episodes added something super distracting... I love old time team episodes for what they say and do, which is hard to hear over all the added ovatures
Yeah, it's a common theme in modern TV doco's to "add tension".
It's a Doco, not a Transformers film !😩
Totally agree
Those responsible should be sacked.
It’s distracting and totally unnecessary. Very bad idea!
It seems fine to me can hear the speakers
I think I am in love with Phil Harding. Sigh.
Take a number and get in line . It's a pretty long line but Phil is worth it.
oh my god!!!!! Back in the day when dinosaurs walked the earth, the volcanos spat theire firy flames and rocks upon the surface of the earth, the ponds were so deep you could drown an animal the size of the moon in them and the most important thing of all....back in the day when Sir Tony Robinson the honorouble Knight in his shiny armour made of T-Rex skin and Dragonscales, still had loooong nicely full, but already grey,ö HAAAAAIIIIRR. xD
Im just joking of course but i had no idea that there are still videos out there when Tony still had his hair.
I really enjoy watching him narrate Documentarys and stuff and tellling stories about the ancient Times and the middle ages and that right now. This video right here jst made my dayxD Its only 6:46 am hiere in germany, i just got up and what do my eyes stride upon. Beautiful bush of hair on Tony Robinsons head.
Have a good one lads :) Cheers to Great britain and Tony Fín Robinson
I might be alone in this, but I wish they recorded the commercials too. I'm weird but I like old commercials.
Back in the Iron Age one of the ways to prank some of the dumber people, was to tell them to stand in the corner of a round house.
Nice hat Tony. Haha. Love the show. Saw your "The real William Wallace" show you did years ago. Good stuff man. 👍
To compare, I just watched a show last night where they were digging before a high speed train goes in, at a site where people were buried with small "buckets" beside them, and some of the "buckets" looked very much like the drinking vessel shown here at 23:08. They didn't have handles on the side, but on the top like a bucket. Still, it makes me think that maybe there was some connection. At least one of them was made with wood, and metal rings around it like this one. Some were hammered metal with designs.
"the dowser's trench isn't looking too good" I'm shocked at that news!
I love this show, been binging for about a year now I watch for the knowledge and what I am learning. So much about the kings an round houses and Neolithic times vs Copper or bronze
Love Francis Phil and Tony
I did not expect to see Baldrick on this episode. Nice surprise!
I love all who know Sir Tony as Ballrick. In my family every Thursday and Saturday night lovers of the BBC at my house in Waukon , Iowa watch Boack Addar in the kitchen by the cook stove.
Love watching the wire dowsing. As a professional geologist who spent 20 years chasing drill rigs in urban places, I can attest that it does work. No, you can't tell exactly what it is usually, and there's no thought process involved (no "keep it in your mind" or "visualize it") , it just picks up either gravitational forces or something that nobody can put their fingers on. But for finding pipes and ditches down to several feet, it works very very well. And I have taught a number of "unbelievers" and seen that same look of amazement as the person feels the wire turn on it's own. It is also really good for picking up buried electrical lines.
Oh dear, they dug that woman's lawn up, only to find vintage bottles. She was nice about it though, you could tell by the tone in her voice she would rather have not had that done.
It's a lawn, the bottles are more important 👍😂
She'd have been bragging for years of they'd actually found anything interesting !
Thanks for the spoiler
@@rheinhardtgrafvonthiesenha8185 Hot 🔥 Tip - Watch the video first... LoL
@@edwardfletcher7790 No doubt. I'll never fathom why people go to the comments before finishing the video and then get all upset. Common sense is becoming as rare as archeological finds in that woman's yard, anymore.
Of all the things to complain about, spoilers for Time Team episodes 😄 hilarious.
When Tony says "Fantastic color..." @ 33:10, it really does look funny, on my TV anyway.
Looking all around this iron site hill fort location we see all manner of modern construction in the form of local houses and the like. I can only imagine the sheer volumes of actual bona fide ancient artifacts that construction crews likely unearthed and unknowingly tossed into rubbish piles when these structures were built over the past several decades! I shudder to think!
Hypnotic 🤓👩🎨🌿
44:15 naomi has a great reaction to hearing that was the first example he had seen in south west wales
I love Jo, he seems like a character 😊
I loooove mysteries ❤❤❤❤❤
Of course Tony can water witch....he's a Robin's Son. Fairy blood.
The first time I saw him in TT I had no doubt that he was Puck from Shakespeare's Midsummer's Night's Dream. Robin Goodfellow
Lives on!
Thank you Tony for all the fun and wonder over so many years..... and absolutely love your historical work. You make the journey so exciting. Thanks for taking us on so many adventures.
Why are buried objects always attributed to "offerings to the gods"? 21:54
Nowadays people stuff mementos in loved ones caskets. Because? Who knows, maybe this way the living aren't fighting over it? "If I can't have it neither can you?"
Parents like to tug in a teddy-bear/baby rattle with a baby or a ball/doll/toy that meant a lot with an older child. It gives the living some level of comfort to send off their loved one with a special keepsake.
I think there is way too much thought of "Religious offerings" in these history shows. I love to watch Time Line though 👍
We sent my dad, the "ice cream bandit" to eternity with a pewter ice cream scoop. Love to know what guys like these would make if that in the next few thousand years?
❤Ask the older folk about old folk tales songs ….as well as all the research you normally do
Well done. Love it.
I wanted to find out information on the team and started with Tony. I was in for a surprise! He is a comedian on a TV show. So I looked up the show on utube and was delighted to watch the show
Wow, you’ve never heard of Blackadder! How utterly bizarre and sad!
@@catofthecastle1681 "I have a cunning plan ..." 🙃
I still laughing at little every time Tony starts and episode because I first heard Baldric!
@@susanprather1021 How many sugars do you want in your coffee!
Man, the bread made from that flour would certainly give you some grit.
Yes. One thing archeologists often point out when they find skulls is the amount of wear that they find on the teeth because of the amount of stone grit that got into the flour used for bread. They can use this wear to estimate the age the person had been when he/she died, adjusting for how big a part of the local diet bread was at the time.
Enjoying 2 and a half hours of videos.
Odyssey best show ever
At least Tony got "Geophsics" out of his mouth, when talking about a Geophysical survey! And why is it I never see anyone shift through the spoil from the trenches?
USian comment here: "quern" -- I looked it up -- sounds a lot like "corn", and if Iron age Brits were grinding corn, that's like finding rabbits in the Precambrian, almost. Two countries separated by a common language... (An observation, not a complaint. I love the Time Team videos, and I can stretch my ears a bit.)
I love them with Mic most and Phil.
Slave labor hardy har har... It's muscle and character building... Good for kids to learn and have structure. Good ole Time Team... Here here...
I love this show
I hope baldrick found his giant turnip
Wonderful news, work. Thank you.
Geophysical Tony - it's not that hard to say!
I love when the teams in Walse.My thirteenth grand mother and grandpa came from Walse in 1600 to America last name Thomas.
Three brilliant eps!
7:30 I think he is really on to something. Certainly as tribal groups began to bump up against each other they would start to "compete" ... and that might occasionally lead to violence. Im sure the defensive military value of hillforts was one reason why they started to develop. But I think they also took on a quality similar to cathedrals in medieval France. Each local group felt that they had to demonstrate the importance of their own "tribe" by building one. You probably didnt expect your neighbours to try to attack you if you DIDNT have one (after all, while pre-Roman Celtic society did have some intertribal war, it was pretty small-scale and rarely involved more than one or two raids/counterraids). But at the same time, having a hillfort was an essential way to make sure your neighbors respected you. The bigger it was, the more respect you could command. Defense in times of war was only a secondary (albeit important) function. The main function was simply to advertise your local pride.
If you don't have something to mark your territory, then how is it yours? What's the difference between you and your neighbours? Earthworks like this can be seen from everywhere in the territory, and serve as a locus, a reminder of who this area belongs to, and a constant landmark. So they don't just command the territory, they stamp ownership and belonging on it.
Also, these tribes didn't just rub against one another, the tribes of Europe from the neolithic onwards were constantly fighting one another for territory - which is how they invented chainmail, the "griptongue" sword, the "Gallic" helmet used by Roman legions, and many other military technologies that the rest of the world later copied or adopted. These things are not developed as a result of a peaceful lifestyle.
Celtic culture was boastful and heroic - communal feasts with tellings of heroic feats, wrestling, challenges between heroes, duels, honour. We're talking about a warrior elite.
Don't make the mistake of thinking we're talking about small little groups here, some tribes fielded upwards of 100,000 fully armed, blooded warriors when they fought the Romans for instance.
all i can contribute here is that living in New Mexico has taught me to look to defensible high ground near a water source for stone age artifacts. somehow it seems respectful to leave them where i find them. (of course it's illegal to steal artifacts from federal land.)
58:18 is that Phil actually saying 'ooo arrrr'?
Sometimes he says "God Ah!" And then there is "Stone The Crows!"
Fabulous...just what I needed to hear❤
that ghastly music spoils this completely
I would assume the big mug is a single person's drink back then but no one knows for certain
Happy Birthday Molly! 🎊 ❤
With all the respect to Mick, i think he was wrong in his assessment that smiths would've lost their "charm" by that time. I mean, we have to consider that the church, in their blatant attempt to curtail any kind of education that might've liberated the 'flock' from under their control, culled all kinds of science except for a few vital jobs, like... smiths. They were always on the edge of the profane, and they always had knowledge that surpassed most other's. Let's not forget that aspect. Not everyone can be a smith, something that still holds today despite the wide proliferation of knowledge via the internet.
The high plateau is gorgeous. My question is where is/was the water source (s)?
After watching Time team for years, I take umbrage to the portrayal of Archaeologists in Graham Hancocks Netflix fanfic.
He paints a picture of bureaucratic conspiritorial academics, but I see Mick Aston, Carenza Lewis, Francis Pryor, Raksha Dave, Phil Harding et al.
The idea that archeologists refuse to dig the holes he wants probably has more to do the lack of funding than a refusal to confirm his opinions.
If he really wanted to 'find the truth' he could fund a dig rather than just critique other peoples work, and make conclusions from their toil.
Here's to the trowels of the soil scrapers, who make possible the little evidence of our past that we have.
We could advance society from studying the lessons of history. its a shame we don't.
Were you watching the same Graham Hancock show I watched? Because I found it to be quite true, and entertaining as well as enlightening! Quite different than what you might hear from academia in general, & for the most part - "true." I've no axe to grind with academia in general, I just find what he had to say very interesting.
@@vincentrandles8105 I mean from everything I've seen of Hancock his archeological theories are... extremely questionable. He ignores evidence, cherry picks and misinterprets data he does use and manipulates what other people has said. I have watched the same show and honestly I found nothing enlightening in there. It's nothing but pseudoscience, dishonesty and honestly has some very concerning undertones.
For clear perspective on the misteachings of Hancock, look at TH-cam channel World of Antiquities.
@@vincentrandles8105The TH-camr Minuteman made a a series of videos going through every episode of Hancock's netflix show and detailing exactly why Hancock is wrong and/or misrepresenting evidence in each. Highly recommend
@@davidbodeker6752 Or Miniminuteman - he did a whole series on Graham Hancock. Hancock came close to causing the destruction of a whole archaeological site in Indonesia with his "von Daeniken-esque" ideas.
Francis is giddy!
Wouldnt there need to be a well in the hill fort?
Yay Naomi great find!
Ive watched this recently on time teams own channel
Might have been on time team classics. This is a different channel.
cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ.
Tony with a shovel!
That's an interesting find!😊
