Mick, Tony & Phil were the obvious stars but my favourite was Victor Ambrus, his wonderful artwork brought the dry, dusty archeology to life. Brilliant programmes.
I'm very impressed by Tony's questions. They are both intuitive (advancing the investigations) and basic (helpful for non-archaeologists). In the early programs I was wondering why he was there. Now, I can't imagine him being absent for these programs. The Team overall is brilliant in their diversity and in their interactions. Brilliant! Compelling viewing.
I see what you did there.... Brilliant!!!! 😆 I have long thought a great drinking game would be to take a shot every time someone on Time Team utters the phrase, “Briliant!”! 😁
This is one of my favorite things ever, I have watched most episodes more than twice. I wouldn't have known about the show or seen it at all had you not put it up. Thank you!
Loved the sight of the guys hanging out waiting for the quickly made furnace to heat up enough to melt glass. I had a flash; 2000 years back, the lads slouched about in the dark. Handing a big crock of beer back and forth. Just the light in the furnace. Dark every where else. Quiet conversation. Laughter. Shop talk. Life hasn't changed much.
I agree, we aren't much different from our ancestors. I love hearing people today in their arrogance how they think we are more enlightened now. In some ways maybe we are, but for the most part, they were more practical, harder working, and sacrificial than we are.
Picturesque thought but glass workers would have worked in daylight and most likely in the open, not at night or anywhere dark. However, the way you hand make a glass bead has not changed much in two thousand years, not the basics.
We are more informed, but they worked more in natural materials and had talent with them that although not lost is not as common. The "Dark Age" people were better poets than we are today on the average; not from anything magical or even any great mystery, they just made it a part of their daily culture more than we do and so they got better at it. And yes, this world would starve were it not for "Farm Boy Engineering", the practical kind. So they were 99% of anything we are.
@@Seeker386 They sure had to be to survive! We have it so much easier, the arrogant ones never seem to realize how many centuries it took to reach such so-called "enlightenment".
@@wolfdancer4038 Wrong. Didn't you watch? Didn't you listen? They had to tend that fire all night to maintain the proper temperature. Sandra is spot on...
I just finished the entire series, including all the specials and out of desperation to find peace of mind in the world we're inhabiting at the moment, I started all over again. I can't believe I"m already in Season 3. :D
Contrary to Tony's thoughts that all their viewers want to see are the pretty trinkets, jewelry, and coins, I find the everyday lives of the everyday ancestors much more interesting.
Me too. I am always interested in how the most common things got done before the advancement of machinery and mass production. I enjoy churning my own butter, for one.
YES, it broke me up into gale's of laughter as that is true and that the land owner/dedicated viewer of the show saw & pointed it out ; similarly Mick has called Tony Eyeore, as in Winnie The Pooh story character & commented in his anxious, worrying behaviour patterns all with a smile and good humour. It's true and he needs a come-upance sometimes. Nice guys, character, British teasing and delight frmo Phil makes me want to hug him. Oh, he'd have some mighty strong arms, hands and shoulders to wrap around yah.
All the burns and pottery shards seem to me, to be evidence of a potter's kiln. Often, old school potters would cover newly firing pots with shards of older, broken pots because they could withstand the heat and not break down or lose shape. They maintained structural integrity and kept the kiln functioning through the entire firing and cooling cycle. So perhaps this was the homestead of a fairly well-to-do potter/farmer family.
In Caesar's Gallic War(s), more than once he writes about having thrown up wooden structures after skirmishing with a tribe or two, or just trying to position himself and giving the legions a day or so of RnR. The point is, they didn't use just stone, especially when on long marches, they threw up temporary wooden garrisons. Places you find more artifacts than others could spell winter garrisons.
I wonder if in this episode they were giving Carenza the directorship of this dig. She seems to be doing Mick's job, and she's okay but not as charming as Mick. And yes, both Mick and Phil identified a "look" for themselves and stuck with it. I think I have counted 5 striped sweaters/jumpers that Mick affected throughout the 20 seasons.
@@OUigot We watch @@OUigotdoing their obsessive best to trash Carenza, episode after episode. Apparently a life's work. We wonder: is @@OUigota male who corrosively hates assertive women?

Spelt being mentioned as a type of ancient wheat only grown mainly in Germany when the show was made but today it is quite popular again as a healthier alternative in a much bigger area. Shows imo that modern inventions aren't necessarily superiour to old products and that people from the past weren't as backwards as a lot of people not into archaelogy and history seem to think.
Time Team need more than 3 days to dig. I hope on the latest episodes they extended their digging days. In that way there will be more discoveries and detailed results.
its rather sad to see the armchair archaeologists get downright crude in their insults towards carenza. just because she was grounded and serious in her analysis of data, she was a buzzkill apparently. i guess cheeky banter is more of a prerequisite to some posters than, i dont know, multiple degrees from cambridge.
It seems people fall into different camps some like Tony some don’t some like Carenza some don’t.it seems to me she is a intelligent woman standing with a group of men and she wants to get her point across and the men interrupt her and she interrupts them.if the men want to mate with her she needs to be able to remember them the best way to do that is to disagree with her
RabbitSlippersBlog From Wikipedia: “Robin James Edwin Bush (12 March 1943 - 22 June 2010) was the resident historian for the first nine series of Channel 4's archaeology series Time Team, appearing in 39 episodes between 1994 and 2003. He also presented eight episodes of Time Team Extra in 1998.” “Robin Bush died on 22 June 2010 after a long period of illness.He is buried in the churchyard of St Nicholas's Church, Corfe, in Somerset.”
@@bettygreenhansen Thanks for your reply. I love Time Team and wish I was able to watch this show while it was on TV. I live in the USA, but in my heart I'm an Anglophile, who loves history from humankind's early days to more contemporary times. I love how the British look at history and do so much to preserve and educate. It meant a lot to me to get to know the personalities who can explain things so well. Thanks so much for your reply!
@@bettygreenhansen Robin was the best, and as a historian he was looking in the trenches wanting to know more and learn more. Thankfully he didn't see the bimbos with half his knowledge that would replace him after he died.
@@deborahparham3783 I meant goons in the most jocular manner. All the members of Time Team are true professionals in their respective fields and my admiration knows no bounds. The banter and jabs at each other are truly priceless and hilarious. I meant " goon" in the context of the ancient BBC radio show ( featuring Pete Sellers, Spike Milligan etc) called " The Goon Show", a truly brilliant feature with wonderfully gifted performers.
They said earlier that Roman glass was very rare as they recycled it. Then they bring out a box of a bunch of Roman glass to melt down... Aren't those archeological finds?
They explain that. They’re allowed to use that particular quantity of glass because there’s a very large quantity of it found in a Roman-era dump excavated in London.
The programme had to work to a budget and strict filming schedules. Time Team was famously very expensive to make (cost was a major factor in its eventual demise).
Yes of course, Mick was a professor at Bristol University so he had plenty on his plate, Stuart worked for English Heritage, John's geophysics business had other clients to attend to, and so on. For many of those guys, Time Team was a nice weekend earner and I'm sure they had a lot of fun doing it, plus of course it gave the stars of the show a strong public profile they could feed off for future work. @@genkatqltr737
Archaeological digs can - and usually do - take years, which wouldn't make a good tv show. Regardless of expense, the 3 day "treasure hunt" format was specifically designed to broaden its appeal to a mass audience - giving a beginning, middle and end and building suspense along the way.
The format of the show from the start was to conduct evaluation archaeology at unknown sites. When looking for a new site, archaeologists do an exploratory dig to see if there's anything there worth looking into deeper. That's the only way to convince private organizations or universities to provide funding for a more extensive survey. In fact, many of the sites they found ended up becoming a fully funded archaeological survey in their own right. Coventry Cathedral from Season 7 - Episode 7 is a great example of this being done. TT even went back 18 months later to show what the full survey was finding in Time Team Special #7.
486 66MHz machines most likely. As they were producing graphics they probably had as much RAM as they could get but at that time I think it would have only been maybe 8MB. That much memory would have cost an arm and a leg back then! I once bought a 1MB RAM module for my old 486 and it cost me over £100
I'm only 10 minutes in, and Carenza is driving me nuts. She keeps asking John from GeoPhys a question, then doesn't give him time to answer it before she butts in and talks over him. When he was first trying to explain the results, she just kept talking and he couldn't get a word in edgewise. I've never noticed her doing that before. Wonder what her problem is. Hopefully it doesn't continue thru the whole episode, and onward to any more.
This is only a sample of her, she gets progressively worse until she finally leaves the show for good in 2004. She is the most obnoxious person ever on TT, she continuously cuts people off, pushes people out of the camera shot, steals credit for the finds of other diggers, and takes credit for other people's idea's, and quickly passes blame on others when her ideas fail. She's also very sneaky, calls English Heritage behind the Teams back to block digs. She wanted Mick's job, she thought she should be the boss but it was Mick's show. She had other TV appearances but they failed.
The problem is IF they find archaeology the gov restricts it and the poor farmer may not be able to farm it anymore. It could possibly put him out of business. Welcome to socialism/communism. The government is always looking after your best interest.....RIGHT???
Mick puts the immigration issue into perspective at 7:10....British WWII vets holding their not quite British or European looking grandchildren for the first time 😂 and pondering if it was all worth it or not...
In the fist 4 or 5 seasons they really struggle with how they talk and speak to one another. A sexist vibe continues through the whole 19 years. Carenza and Mick get their act together during the 5th season
Carenza Lewis is the most rude person. She ALWAYS has to get her two cents in (often, she's wrong) and talks over other people...even, Mick Aston. In later years of TT, it shows the producers reign her in a bit, to the point where she is taken out of the field and major team member to historian. Robin Bush was the best historian TT ever had, IMHO. His research was very thorough.
She always came across as grumpy to me, not really part of the team and seemingly disappointed that she didn’t have a bigger role. It may be just tat she had an unfortunate manner, but she never seemed to gel with the others. Example in this episode, in the helicopter, the only two things she seemed to come out with to Mick were ‘you shouldn’t be doing that’ and ‘why haven’t you done this...?’. Not a very friendly character, or at least that’s my impression from the numerous times I have seen her, unlike, for example, Rakshar, in the later episodes.
@@petersmedley459 Agreed! Carenza's lack of kindness and respect for others is grating. She's working so hard to show that she's capable that she comes across as a grasping, controlling and desperate person. She's very intelligent and talented as an archaeologist, but her attitude destroys that fact. Helen Geake is an excellent example of a woman showing competence in her field without being tiring to those around her. She is refreshingly brilliant! Unfortunately, most of the women of the feminist persuasion have the same problematic attitude.
Donna, I think that you may have nailed it...trying too hard, rather than just letting herself shine. Helen Geake has always come across as highly capable, talented and very able to share with others, professional and personable at the same time. I’m a little concerned over my original comment though as it was quite condemnatory but there was background information that I was unaware of. Corenza had difficulties outside of Timeteam which were most definitely not of her own making but which must have had a terrible impact upon her. I’m not sure of the timings, but it may be that outside pressures had an impact upon her frame of mind that ended up coming through on camera, without any intention for them to do so. I may have that wrong, but maybe it’s a possibility?
@@petersmedley459 I do agree with your assessment. I am aware of what she was dealing with at the time. Actually, my ability to sense her difficulties is mainly due to the fact that I used to be a lot like her. I assume that's why it bothers me so much. I also went through a life changing trauma and thankfully have learned to be more kind and forgiving of others. I'm even learning to enjoy Carenza's contributions. I hope that she was able to grow through her troubles too.
First class means serious and not acting as if he doesn't learn anything from episode to episode. Of course on every new episode there are new viewers knowing less or nothing about archaeology but if especially here in the 20th year of Time Team he only speaks for new viewers but not for those who know the series from the very beginning you can't describe his job as first class.
I am one of those people who has seen the series all the way through, from start to finish, and I think Tony's work was absolutely first class. His energy, his bravery in challenging the archaeologists, the balance he struck between feigning a lack of knowledge plus occasionally demonstrating his accumulated knowledge, all show that he was the perfect person for the job. In fact he was so good that Producers of other shows pursued him to present their programs as well.
Robin Bush was the quintessential british gentleman. The way he dressed and communicated.
24:15 Robin says ,” try not to get too much drool on it”😂
Mick, Tony & Phil were the obvious stars but my favourite was Victor Ambrus, his wonderful artwork brought the dry, dusty archeology to life. Brilliant programmes.
I agree totally
I love his artwork. Hope I can buy his works someday. It's sad he's no longer with us. We lost a wonderful historical artist.
He illustrated loads of books, even one with Time Team called *Recreating the Past*. Maybe you’d like that?
I'm very impressed by Tony's questions. They are both intuitive (advancing the investigations) and basic (helpful for non-archaeologists). In the early programs I was wondering why he was there. Now, I can't imagine him being absent for these programs. The Team overall is brilliant in their diversity and in their interactions. Brilliant! Compelling viewing.

All the burns and pottery shards seem to me, to be evidence of a potter's kiln. Often, old school potters would cover newly firing pots with shards of older, broken pots because they could withstand the heat and not break down or lose shape. They maintained structural integrity and kept the kiln functioning through the entire firing and cooling cycle.
So perhaps this was the homestead of a fairly well-to-do potter/farmer family.

Mick puts the immigration issue into perspective at 7:10....British WWII vets holding their not quite British or European looking grandchildren for the first time 😂 and pondering if it was all worth it or not...
Professor Aston has obviously never dug up a comb. He presents the appearance of the archetypical mad scientist.
I wish Crecenda didn't talk so much. She interrupts and talks louder to drown out others. I'd like to hear others opinions!
Watch how often the others cut her off in most episodes. Every once in a while she just insisted on finishing her thought.
In the fist 4 or 5 seasons they really struggle with how they talk and speak to one another. A sexist vibe continues through the whole 19 years. Carenza and Mick get their act together during the 5th season
Yes, she does keep talking above the geophysics guy in this episode. An annoying habit
@The Phantom She's a scientist what do you expect!
Carenza Lewis is the most rude person. She ALWAYS has to get her two cents in (often, she's wrong) and talks over other people...even, Mick Aston. In later years of TT, it shows the producers reign her in a bit, to the point where she is taken out of the field and major team member to historian. Robin Bush was the best historian TT ever had, IMHO. His research was very thorough.
Nope!
Tony’s ignorant questions and comments belittle scientific investigation in favor of glamor.
Love this show but Cerenza (sp) talks SO MUCH.
she's pretty quiet now... :(
I'm sorry, but Carenza talks way too much
Nope!
No, she doesn’t. It’s her job.
I wonder when Cardenza will stat showing respect by not talking over others
She always came across as grumpy to me, not really part of the team and seemingly disappointed that she didn’t have a bigger role. It may be just tat she had an unfortunate manner, but she never seemed to gel with the others.
Example in this episode, in the helicopter, the only two things she seemed to come out with to Mick were ‘you shouldn’t be doing that’ and ‘why haven’t you done this...?’. Not a very friendly character, or at least that’s my impression from the numerous times I have seen her, unlike, for example, Rakshar, in the later episodes.
@@petersmedley459 Agreed! Carenza's lack of kindness and respect for others is grating. She's working so hard to show that she's capable that she comes across as a grasping, controlling and desperate person. She's very intelligent and talented as an archaeologist, but her attitude destroys that fact. Helen Geake is an excellent example of a woman showing competence in her field without being tiring to those around her. She is refreshingly brilliant! Unfortunately, most of the women of the feminist persuasion have the same problematic attitude.
Donna, I think that you may have nailed it...trying too hard, rather than just letting herself shine. Helen Geake has always come across as highly capable, talented and very able to share with others, professional and personable at the same time. I’m a little concerned over my original comment though as it was quite condemnatory but there was background information that I was unaware of. Corenza had difficulties outside of Timeteam which were most definitely not of her own making but which must have had a terrible impact upon her. I’m not sure of the timings, but it may be that outside pressures had an impact upon her frame of mind that ended up coming through on camera, without any intention for them to do so. I may have that wrong, but maybe it’s a possibility?
@@petersmedley459 I do agree with your assessment. I am aware of what she was dealing with at the time. Actually, my ability to sense her difficulties is mainly due to the fact that I used to be a lot like her. I assume that's why it bothers me so much. I also went through a life changing trauma and thankfully have learned to be more kind and forgiving of others. I'm even learning to enjoy Carenza's contributions. I hope that she was able to grow through her troubles too.
This series would have been better with another presenter.
You really don't like Baldric, do you? I noticed from another comment of yours.
***** Well, who would you recommend? I think Tony did a first class job.
First class means serious and not acting as if he doesn't learn anything from episode to episode. Of course on every new episode there are new viewers knowing less or nothing about archaeology but if especially here in the 20th year of Time Team he only speaks for new viewers but not for those who know the series from the very beginning you can't describe his job as first class.
I am one of those people who has seen the series all the way through, from start to finish, and I think Tony's work was absolutely first class. His energy, his bravery in challenging the archaeologists, the balance he struck between feigning a lack of knowledge plus occasionally demonstrating his accumulated knowledge, all show that he was the perfect person for the job. In fact he was so good that Producers of other shows pursued him to present their programs as well.
***** Absolutely Robert, Tony's work is first class.
A real british or european glassblower would have made a lot nicer item with that roman glass than the horrible thing that yank hippy made lol
It was pretty bad
The toddler sitting in the bellows was delightful!
I know and you're going to show off baby video and a awesome show😊
