Why are you jealous and unenthused? Is 30, well I guess you are 31 now, too old to learn from these folks? Just because you weren't lucky enough to live in an area where the time team would be working doesn't stop you from benefiting from their work.
Most Americans are bitter. By the time we hit 30, we realize we were lied to. Then disillusionment occurs. After that, we spend the rest of our lives trying to do the best we can with what we have. Bwahahahaha.
When John and Frances are arguing, why don't they have Phil come over with this trowel and give them an answer in 5 or 10 minutes? I've never seen anyone better at telling a story from changes in color on the ground.
That's the way Carenza was with all the diggers, only she was taking credit for finding it while the digger was still digging. So happy she left the show.
"Corn" could refer to any grain here, but it will probably be either barley or wheat. The word corn usually refers to a dominant cereal grain: today in the UK to wheat; in the US, to maize (or "sweetcorn" as we would call it in the UK), which was the dominant cereal when first settled by Europeans.
The old varieties of what a modern person calls corn or maize in the US are quite interesting grains. There is a sort of movement in the South to preserve old grains. Stone ground corn grits have been a signature feature on New American style restaurants. Here, New American means not just your boring meat and potatoes traditional meal that clearly comes from our British ancestors. Farm to table ingredients, local sourcing, skillfully cooked proteins, etc. There is a whiskey distillery here in Texas that makes products from a native blue corn. Makes a fascinating, rich corn whiskey. I believe that Balcones can be found in London and some other UK cities.
"They say something rude in ironage and throw it into the Ditch" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 As much as I'm uncertain of what to think of Mr.Pryor, I absolutley love his Humour!
I must say i like the Phil shown in the earlier episodes, much softer and kinder person that is far less assertive and aggressive than the one shown here.

Just so everyone knows, CORN is an English from England word referring to any type of grain. The corn from the American Continent is actually called Maize. This is because the English and the Spanish (mostly) named what they found based on their own language, not how they were known to the Native Americans (who by the way, are not just from the USA, but from ALL the American Continent)
In the UK you use the American term "Native Americans" or "American Indian" which somehow implies that even though they were here well before the US they are still American. In Canada we use First Nations, Indigenous and Aboriginal, all indicating that their cultures predate British, French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese etc colonisers. We are Canadians, we don't live on the American continent, we live in North America, or in the Americas.
Every time they did an aerial view of the site we would see what looks like a fort at one end of the hill. It was frustrating because it seems as if they were intentionally ignoring something obvious.
They should have taken that drinking cup they made down to the local pub and asked if any of the regulars would be able to empty it. I'm pretty sure there would be quite a few who could drink four pints.

4:40 Iron Age ? wtf ? I look at the initial overview and immediately see what, in New Zealand, would be instantly recognized as a Maori Pa site. That is Stone Age ! Things about this pa are the ramp, the size and the flatness of the plateau. How many guys would it take to defend those palisades from a concerted attack - hundreds. So this is on a colossal scale with a huge population to draw on. The ramp is cow friendly. Most are not. This means that herds were protected on the top as well as families. This does help account for the enormous size. The flatness of the top would have taken years of work, and yet there are ditches dug through it. This indicates a long intensive occupation that may have reworked the plateau several times over. This all suggests the surrounding area was rich cattle grounds, possibly even intensive.So they dig across a ditch that has to be later than Stone Age. 5:40 Tony's criticism of Neil Sharples is right on point. For crops to be grown on the plateau a water source would be needed. The plateau certainly appears to have garden/grazing areas. But this would only work in a wet climate. The stone age climate may have been wet enough but certain events like volcanoes disrupting climate may have cause it to fall into disuse a number of times.
This isn’t New Zealand it’s England that’s two totally different cultures in two totally different parts of the world who did things completely different than one another.
@@lonewolftech Pa sites are like mini hillforts so there is a similarity in concept. The difference is that the pas were occupied during the middle ages up to the late 19th century while the hillforts in the British Isles were largely abandoned by the middle ages in favour of castles with the exception where castles occupied former hillfort sites.
Always curious about what the cups containing the molten metal were made of and what did the ancients use as tongs to handle these cups filled with molten metal. No idea and no suggestion from the archeologists
Fort is a military ficility. Ford is a place in a river where people or animals could pas. Like hertford cowford etc. Vancouver is from Couvorden in the east of the Netherlands, meaning where the cows could pass the water.
At about 27:00 Tony talks about grinding "corn" under the stone they found. Problem is that corn was a New World food and not available. Other grains, absolutely, but not corn.
Given that the site predates the Romans, who fought a 25 year guerilla war against the locals (per the reference in the show), wouldn't they have razed any settlement that might have posed a potential resistance point? If not initially, then over the course of 25 years of warfare, perhaps that might explain the lack of finds?
Pet Peeve: "Hill forts were built to impress the neighbors." You can hear this many times over the life of Time Team. It is beyond obvious that hill forts were built to keep the neighbors Out, not to Impress them. The forts were a practical and necessary large investment in time and effort by a whole community to protect their wealth which consisted of sheep, goats, cows, gardens, grains and storage of same; plus tools, clothing, houses, etc. They may well have been impressive, but that was not the primary purpose.
My question is, how does a single piece that dates that far back enough to date the site accordingly when everything else indicates a much younger age? Did nobody at the time collect things from older generations or other places? Isn't it just as possible that somebody had an "antique" bit of crockery, possibly passed down through the family or maybe just collected? It seems pretty obvious that it was a community of some size, but the age of the site seems pretty unclear. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems like you would need to dig deeper and see if you could find more, similar aged, artifacts in other locations in order to safely make a claim of the sites possible age being early iron.
Sounds like, to me at least, is because that pot sherd is so old it's thought improbable to have been kept around for the better part of a thousand years. Til the time of the later Celtic-roman stuff they found here. I believe it was a livestock enclosure.
Or you could extrapolate from other iron age forts: we know roughly when forts of that type were being developed. Which is also why they expected to find something earlier than Romano-British in the first place. And we know it was probably made on site, because people didn't wander around with those things: they lived in fixed communities. But even if it did come from outside, it won't realistically be much earlier (a few years, maybe a decade or two) because those things actually didn't last for generations. They were functional utensils, not prized possessions. So taken together, you can be reasonably confident of approximate date.
The answer to this is based on the condition and edges of pottery and items. Items with sharper edges and less wear mean they were broken or lost near where found and didn't travel far, as opposed to items passed through generations that wear over time. The exception is coinage, which was re-minted often esp roman.

Why did they think those beer mugs (if that is what they were) we communal? The idea that it would make one person sick does not hold water in my opinion as I would think that passing around a single mug would encourage faster drinking. Are there actual evidence that this kind of mugs were (or are in some modern cultures) used for communal drinking?
Dumb question, but maybe they struggled to find Iron Age artefacts because it was continuously inhabited through the Roman era and consequent inhabitants effectively cleared the site? If you move into a new house you wouldn’t leave the last inhabitants’ rubbish in your garden, idk
Hi there, By medieval times, there was a lot more governance and it was safer to live in villages on flatter ground again. Hill Forts made use of height for security, visibility and defence purposes but they were subject to the weather elements and far from water and their crops. When things got safer, communities moved to more practical places. 😉
Why did he say they where grinding up corn? It was around 27:20 I believe he said they used those going stones for corn??? There’s non possible way wen it’s an Iron Age stone and corn didn’t make it too europe till the 1500’s.....idk just thought it was odd if any1 else noticed that 🤷🏽♂️
Because it was probably thrown in a heap when first broken and the pieces got separated when the heap was later used to help fill in the ditch. You'd only get a complete broken item if it broke around the time the ditch was being filled in and all the bits were thrown in at the same time.
In the terminology of European and UK archaeology, "corn" is the word for any cereal grains, and they generally specify "maize" for the plant called "corn" in the U.S. Technically, it's the Americans who are using the word wrong, but "maize -on-the-cob" just doesn't have the same ring.

Maize isn't sweet corn. It's a corn almost like field corn fed to livestock. Sweet corn isn't that old of a grain
The old varieties of what a modern person calls corn or maize in the US are quite interesting grains. There is a sort of movement in the South to preserve old grains.

Corn also refers to pieces of salt. Where corned beef comes from.
Thank you. I also was confused knowing 'corn' as understood by an American, didn't arrive in Europe until the 15th century :)
Its good to see that the locals are showing such an interest in the site. It's their ancestors that built this place.

Hi there,
By medieval times, there was a lot more governance and it was safer to live in villages on flatter ground again.
Hill Forts made use of height for security, visibility and defence purposes but they were subject to the weather elements and far from water and their crops.
When things got safer, communities moved to more practical places.

how were they grinding corn if it hadn't been introduced in Europe until the discovery of the new world?

In UK corn is not maize
If the grinder was broken why aren't the rest of broken pieces in the same place.?
Because it was probably thrown in a heap when first broken and the pieces got separated when the heap was later used to help fill in the ditch. You'd only get a complete broken item if it broke around the time the ditch was being filled in and all the bits were thrown in at the same time.
Tony is awesome story teller, but is there anything in UK other then something by a poodle parked 10 miles underground? :)
When they say corn grinding I presume they mean einkorn wheat rather than maize/corn. Am I right?
In the terminology of European and UK archaeology, "corn" is the word for any cereal grains, and they generally specify "maize" for the plant called "corn" in the U.S. Technically, it's the Americans who are using the word wrong, but "maize -on-the-cob" just doesn't have the same ring.
