I absolutely love this show. If you watch the very early episodes, however, the “delivered with class” part may come into question. I was shocked to hear rather vulgar jokes in some of the very early ones. Monty Pythons-ish stuff. Glad they cleaned up. I don’t need my archaeology mixed with sexism, thanks.

In New Zealand somewhere I was when very young with my Mother & Aunty,Was a beautiful grass field & when walking we came across a hole in the ground/field that appeared to be a great fall into a hollow cave type system.In there once we went down& around to try& find the opening was at least possibly 3or more sheep bones just directly under the hope above.So in other words they all at some point naturally fell in. Was fascinating as a child.Cant for the life of me recall where this was.South Island is the most I know.
Some episodes were better than others, but I enjoyed them all. I think what made some better than others in my mind was just personal interest in the area of the dig and era.
I have noticed something different about one of Mick's speech patterns. I have counted about 4 times in this video already. Instead of saying "... look here," he says ".... here look," when he is pointing something out. I just thought it was an interesting speech variation. I do not know what part of the UK he was from, but it must be part of his native dialect. I am really enjoying watching all of these older Time Team episodes. RIP, Mick.
@@terylou-u2i I thought it must be a regional thing - and interesting that it is almost always at the very end of a statement. Interesting. I have heard others say it from time to time.

1:42:48, the black soil layer is where mammoth bones are found, in the southern US. It’s a thin, bog layer, and on top of it, is yards of wind blown loess. Good times, to very bad.
And , as usual, Tony Robinson and his Merry Diggers, sorted everything out in three day... though it is also understood, special by all the - every episode must see - viewers, that long before and even longer afterwards, it are the locals, the local geological or archeological societies, are doing the rest of the work.
our family had the potential for a nose like that, thankfully its not that big. however when my brother and I went to see our father in his coffin, as we were walking toward the coffin he saw dads nose sticking up and said oh no, Americas cup. and I had to check the coffin lid to make sure it wasn't going to squash dads nose. and I remember feeling sure dad smile as we were discussing it.
Loved the bit where Robinson named the wrong time period and had to be corrected. Not the first time he tried to intrude his own speculations thinking he knew how archeologists actually go about their business.
How on earth did the ancients get into this hole without flashlights. It is a mystery how people from BC did the things that we have discovered. People are the strangest creatures ever invented.
The fact that the second episode shown was on the edge of Loch Finlaggan and nowhere near the West coast of the Isle of Islay shows just how 'off' Tony's navigational skills were. Him pointing off behind the ruins in Loch Lannegan is him roughly pointing towards Sanaigmore Beach lol. I'm no Scotsmen, but the only thing off the coast of Sanaigmore Beach is ocean and more ocean for quite some time.
It seems that you are looking in the wrong direction from where he is standing. You can look at Google Earth and see where he was standing based on the land in the background. From there you can draw a line straight from where he is standing through Bridgend to the coast of Ireland.
its funny to me that your parents can go through the effort ot burry a child so noone will disturb them, then some bloke finds them and writes on the inside of their shattered skull
All those babies in the caves bring to mind old fairy tales where trolls, elves or fairies (with huge noses?) stole newborn babies and took them deep into their underground kingdoms. Sometimes fairy tales have their origins in real events...
Completely agree with Fran. The problem is that where are ypu going to find another mob of archeologists with a wealth of knowledge mixed with wry sense of humor.
Why so many children/babies?? Well, even up to the Tudor age only about 50% of children made it past 5. and if these were related, there might have been genetic issues that made survival difficult. But why the cave? Might I say this is where a very wider team with perhaps an archeologist who is also a mother might have at least given the option for speculation. Come on, the guys do it often enough! A cave is dark, you enter through a narrow opening. Sound like something a new born might know? To a mother, returning her child to as close to a womb as she could, would, I think, have been a comfort. And that is something to remember. Every child who was placed there had a parent who mourned it. Even if you knew the odds of survival were low, you still hoped your child would beat the odds.
I thought that the UK was pretty much forested in ancient times, but that the woods were all cut down for firewood, building and other uses... Hunters can hunt in the woods too, I'm just wondering, was it always that bare?
There were oak forest that the Roman's cut and burnt down to run the picts out. They address this in another episode. How you find time to watch more time team.
Your journey is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith. From despair to abundance, your story resonates with resilience. May your home be filled with love, your family a source of endless joy, and your identity as a child of God a guiding light. Hallelujah to the miracles of grace! 🏡👨👩👧🌈
Why the 3 day timeline??. I think there would be some damage and losses because everyone is freaking out to discover stuff in time to make the deadline for the TV show.
It would be helpful to illustrate what they cave looked like 3500 years ago. perhaps it was much more obvious and without all of the overburden and quite clearly a cave. Now its just a mossy hole in the ground.
Cute, "It looks like our site is cloaked in MIST-ery", while showing a foggy landscape. Baby skull next to adult femur seems, to me at least, that the mother and child died in childbirth and were buried together.
Haha see when they had satellite mapping of the area on the old school IBM DX2 PC's.. drawing nonsense lines on the screen.. show that was made during the dark ages of computers!

I like that it shows what an old episode this is when they still had to explain what GPS is.

Appreciate Tony’s recaps , always pulls the evidence together for us!

I want the unfettered truth.. production.. License.. contract… why only three days…
@SuperOverlord666 they said that's what they are going to do and show us.
Want documents look it up I guess 😊
All of the Team have other jobs.
They did the episodes on their weekends.
I love these shows but I don't understand the strict three day limit on these digs.
to add immediacy and urgency for the sake of TV., although a lot prep work was done beforehand.
The babies were probably returned to the 'womb' of mother earth.
That’s actually a beautiful, comforting thought!❤

Could the bones of all humans and animals were carried away with water into these caves ? Having a vast variety of different species ?
Why are there only bits and pieces of skulls and skeletons? Where are the rest of them?
