I live in the states and have in the last 2 weeks found this time team stuff. I had no idea that some are 27+ yrs ago!! Love this stuff always wanted to find treasures like this in history. I'm way to old to start now (67) but can relive some childhood thru these shows.
Enjoy time team. You got plenty to watch... Time team was one of the reasons I got into archaeology myself. Studied it in Galway, Ireland. A BA and MA (landscape archaeology) later I moved to England and worked 2 years in commercial archaeology. Knees gone, back and hands do not fare much better. It's like road building or landscape gardening without machines. Would not miss it for the world but it's a young man's game.
I am 63 and struggled in my younger days between a career in either being in archaeology or Botany. Growing up on the island of Crete and visiting every ancient site and museum I could there (and also in Egypt) lit an intense love of antiquity in me! At the same time I fell in love with ALL things plants ! I chose plants and now that I’m retired i adore these digs! Hats off to the land owner! I’m now on a “tear” with Roman history breaking towards the history of Britain! What an indescribably lovely country!
Why is this surprising? Rome was a polytheistic Civ before Christianity. It would not be over stating that the "old religions" held on after the conversions to Christianity. Thus, statues of pagan deities would have been hidden or just forgotten. This is not rocket science.
Aside from the wonderful archaeology, what I also enjoy about this episode, and later subsequent episodes, is about English Heritage and the discussion of whether to dig vs. preservation of the site. What you can clearly watch by following TT over the years is the changing attitude to that issue within the field of archaeology as a whole. While they still do schedule, they are far more willing now to dig some part of a site to at least have some record for prosperity of what was there, not to mention wanting to be quite certain as to what is being scheduled. Also I think everyone involved over time realized there were limits to how much one could blindly rely on what the new technology could tell you without some sort of confirmation, as Carenza seemed to argue for at that moment, and even in later episodes she herself seems to have changed her opinion, at least somewhat, on this point.
This is an amazing find that has been treated so harsh that if you took yrs on it bet it could reveal a lot with extensive digging. Amazing. Robin is such a character!

"I have a cunning plan to confiscate this farmer's land." And I've personally been to Britain multiple times and have visited as many British-Roman sites as possible, but the subject of this statue is unfamiliar. I have seen statues and reliefs of Mithras and Coventina and Rosmerta and the Three Mothers and most of the Olympian pantheon and Jupiter Dolichenus and probably Herne but I have no idea about this god here. The staff did make me think it was Aesculapius at first glance, but the expert says not.
@@lindamaemullins5151 I suppose it's possible, but the god is dressed in what looks like a Roman toga. There was Roman influence in Britain before the Claudian invasion, but, not, I think, on that level. My best guess is that this is probably some kind of local Celtic god who's been Romanized during the Imperial period.
BTW, a number of Cathedrals and Large Churches, particularly in Europe and those going back to 15th Century, have a variety of mythical creatures and what can be called pagan sculptures that decorate their exteriors, including Gargoyles.
The mosaic at the end said 1994. Tony and his dark wavy hair has a nice career ahead of him. Kinda prefer the more modern episodes. Seems like they have better content and more interesting dig sites.
Access to better dig sites came with time as the programs work gained prestige. At the start they were highly mistrusted by most academics. Looked down on as a gimmicky show that couldn't possibly stick to rigorous academic standards. As the years went by there was jealousy over the sheer number of papers they produced, but a grudging respect came with time. This has to be one of the very first episodes.
It seems that if Time Team hadn’t taken an interest, the farmer would have plowed the field deeply and the place would have been trashed in one days work. A minimal dig would stop that if there is anything of interest with 99% of the site intact.
That farmer and many before him have plowed and to some degree damaged the site already. That is primarily why they found stuff...plus storm damage and runoff.
Every one of the original Time Team addicts please pray to your Gods that somehow a cast of this brilliant show can be assembled again. Alas I am pessimistic about this, even with Devine intervention.
They don’t want to dig because it could be of historic importance and they don’t want to ruin it. But the farmer who owns the field can plow it and destroy it without a second thought. Like huh...... You’d think they would want to dig as much as possible and record it as quick as possible for historical record before the farmer plows it. But what do I know?
Have heard of Swindon. Have certainly heard of RAF Lyneham. But have never heard of “Tockenham” - or whatever it’s called. Mick Aston - dead. Robin Bush - dead. Victor Ambrus - dead. I’m a fan of TimeTeam, but there ain’t many left of the original crew.
God Bless Mick's Soul with Abundant Positive Energies. He was such an endearing man. Truly a genuine Academic, and I didn't agree with him on several points, but that never conflicts with my perspective on the person. A trait I wish the 48% of this USA shared.
@Mary C Actually, the Caduceus (Staff, 2 snakes and wings is the traditional symbol of Hermes) is not the medical symbol. It is the symbol for Alchemy, wisdom, the underworld and other things. The Staff of Aesculapius (staff with one snake, is the true symbol of medicine (Aesculapius was the god of medicine and healing) .
always wondering with all the new technology of 2021, is there any way we can scan, inside these old churches to see IF there is any older foundations?
The Romans were very good at record keeping and history. I am surprised that more written records of their time in Britain did not survive after they withdrew in 410 AD. Perhaps some day more records on sheepskin will be found like a British version of the Dead Sea scrolls. Who knows?
@@Patrick_Cooper don't think they killed everybody...when they landed in the Northeast the took over a lot of abandoned Roman forts and farms etc... intermarried with the locals over time.
Carrenza loves to embarrass people on camera, Tony is going off to sulk, she also asked small boy how he likes his dress while he was modeling a tunic! If you don’t have anything nice to say……
dolor (according to Dr Google) translates to pain or sorrow. In another episode they settle on Tempus Grex, which translates more generally to "time gang", but it was the best compromise they could come up with.
I thought about that also. I imagine that for a British farmer inviting archeologists to ones land is a risky proposition. I wonder if the British government compensates the land owners when they "schedule" a site, or if it's more a case of "It's Her Majesty's land, and we're taking it over now."
I mentioned once to a German fellow that the 2004 Athens Olympics were way behind in construction schedules and he said 'you can't kick a stone over in Greece without some ancient thing being underneath it. Then the professors come to dig with their spoons and toothbrushes and it all belongs to them now. That's why when most people find something ancient in their yard they quietly bury it again and never tell a soul'. This farmer didn't get the memo I guess.
@@N1RKW Not quite. I suspect the farmer's capacity to earn a living was not affected in any meaningful way. I think he was probably only allowed to plough the topsoil of the land down to a certain depth. Apart from that, he wouldn't be allowed to alter the usage of the land, but you'd need planning permission to do that anyway.
I should imagine that at the very least it would have been geophysed again using more modern technology, which is far more accurate than that used bck then.
Another ridiculous Documentary with a 'Time Limit' leaving more questions than answers with a lot of speculations and assumptions. Why was there a 3 day limit and why couldn't they take all of the time they needed to find out what is actually there?

Christmas is Pagan, Easter is Pagan, the Cross is Pagan, wedding rings are Pagan... Christians bow down to Paganism on a daily basis... so, what’s new?!?
Jesus said, “You will know my disciples if they have love among themselves.” John 13:35. They would also be obeying his command to “Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19, 20. They would be fully involved in the teaching work that Jesus started with his first-century followers. They would not be taking sides with man-made governments but would support Jesus’ heavenly rulership. Only his government can bring an end to crime, violence, war, sickness, death. Humans have never been able to do that!
Christianity is the old pagan religion. They just changed the name from the pagan God to Jesus but the practices stayed the same, such as Christmas and Easter, both pagan rituals.
Not quite ! Catholicism combined Christmas and Easter with pagan holidays to make it easier for pagans to join that church. Easter coincides with the Passover which is a Jewish observance. Jesus was born in the spring because lambs were being born to sheep. Please study history and the Bible before you make silly statements.
@@choxxxieful That is not quite what the word means. Christendom simply means the area (geographical or influential) covered in some way by Christianity in all its many forms.
Pagans were allowed to keep much of their religion and then say that they had ‘converted’. Jesus never mixed pure worship with false, nor did he force conversion.
I've got mixed feelings about this episode. First, you start out with a church who has a Pagan deity in its outer wall.... This doesn't surprise me as Christianity has always had Paganism mixed with it. Next,c you have The English Heritage and Time Team confiscating the land of a local. Is there royalties afforded to this landowner? It seems to me that the landowner is getting the short end of the stick.
I've known people who had a lot of land but were not interested in maintaining / using it but were only keeping it because if they sold it someone would develop it. So they donated it to the city with a stipulation it remain undeveloped. I don't know what the city got out of that (in at least one case kids are allowed to sled on it in winter) but the owner didn't have to maintain it anymore or pay taxes on it but got to keep their lovely unobstructed view. I'd like to hope the field's owner had some similar upside to calling in the archaeologists.
If the land had been confiscated, which it wasn't, then the landowner would certainly have been compensated. As I understand it, he was still allowed to plough his land but only to the depth of the topsoil.
19:52 Men are interested in results, and women are interested in "following the process". This is why some bureaucracies, especially ones with too many women, just take forever to get anything done.
Oh, ain't that the truth! I work for a non-profit organization with female-only membership. The husband of one once said to her, "I don't know how you expect 7,000 women to ever agree on anything." He's not wrong.
Roman Christians, not having massive luxury of church burials with stone statue medieval knights and ladies effigies, ... maybe a lost local area British Christian Roman patron saint or bishop - with saintly healing powers.
Seems to me Carenza Lewis is more interested in office politics and sucking up to her boss at English Heritage than actual archeology. Time and again she goes out of her way to clog up the works with her interpretation of some obscure regulation.
An older vid, but as interesting as ever -- it is also "interesting" to observe the (thankfully increasingly obsolete) "social artifact" of the men repeatedly asking a female team member to weigh in, and as soon as she does, they talk over her and start man-splaining all over the place and her face just goes all, "Well F.U. too, mate!" Grow up, guys! LOL

I've really enjoyed everything AH has put out except this one, which seems to be chocked full of pompous, ego inflated wankers. Martin's hair, the dude with the bow tie, the stoic "landowner"...Although I love learning, I am so glad a school day counselor guided me away from archeology as a career path. Is the only way to distinguish yourself in historical academia, to be a odd, even annoying, eccentric that people remember more for quirky fashion embrace, peculiar behavior and arrogance, than genius?
The Time Team is al l a bunch of hippies. Which year is this episode from? 1968? Oh... Just finished and it's 1994. Very funny how the British class system is still so evident. The hippies - some of them with surprisingly nice teeth for Brits! - with the funny accents are low class to lower middle class, the owner, archeology chief are landed gentry and upper class speaking very correct British English. The owner's stiffness indicates a private boarding school followed by a fairly high-ranking university, though not Oxford or Cambridge. Probably London School of Economics or Imperial College at best, possibly Sandhurst. The Archeology chief with her preppy haircut probably did a stint at a US college or university (using "pretty" is a dead giveaway if a Brit uses it instead of "rather" or "jolly well" or some such [no, I didn't attend a Brit school, I'm just a keen study of language like Henry Higgins]). The rest'o'em with newly washed and blow dried hair to the point of looking like bad afros (though that was for day 1 - the hair gets greasy and hangs in strands towards day 3) are middle class or upper-scraping-its-bottom middle class with provincial university education or a University for the Creative Arts BA. perhaps a night school MA. Those Brits are such a barrel of laughs. I wouldn't have been surprised if one of the ditch diggers had raised his head revealing John Cleese shouting "right-o!"
A truly keen student of language would know that the use of the word 'pretty' is far from being an Americanism. II has been in British usage since at least the start of the 20th century. (In fact, I'm pretty sure you'll find in Dickens.) As far as the British class system is concerned, it certainly is still a continuing feature of English society, more's the pity, but you seem to have a ludicrously caricatured view of it. Yup, darn tootin', ah'm purty sure y'all got that every which way but right, know what I'm sayin'?

Not quite ! Catholicism combined Christmas and Easter with pagan holidays to make it easier for pagans to join that church.
Easter coincides with the Passover which is a Jewish observance.
Jesus was born in the spring because lambs were being born to sheep.
Please study history and the Bible before you make silly statements.
Correction : What is called Christian today has been infused with paganism. It is properly referred to as Christendom.
@@choxxxieful That is not quite what the word means. Christendom simply means the area (geographical or influential) covered in some way by Christianity in all its many forms.
Season 18 is the best I think
Tempus Bigas according to google translate
I have a vewy good fwiend in Wome named Tempus Bigas.
1994?
can that guy quit fondling the fish pipe so we can see it?
Too many commercials. Very annoying
Use adblock
Is that Baldrick??
@ 15.00 in my eyeballs started bleeding from the ugly sweaters and beta males
Hope someone wasn't making their living on that land and got compensated...
1994
Pagans were allowed to keep much of their religion and then say that they had ‘converted’. Jesus never mixed pure worship with false, nor did he force conversion.
Wow I am so early
Maybe they can find a hair brush somewhere in the field too
I’m not real religious, but thank god for x2 playback speed!
I've got mixed feelings about this episode.
First, you start out with a church who has a Pagan deity in its outer wall.... This doesn't surprise me as Christianity has always had Paganism mixed with it.
Next,c you have The English Heritage and Time Team confiscating the land of a local. Is there royalties afforded to this landowner? It seems to me that the landowner is getting the short end of the stick.
Very true the Christmas tree is from a pagan past nothing to do with Christianity as too mistletoe and many other. Things
I've known people who had a lot of land but were not interested in maintaining / using it but were only keeping it because if they sold it someone would develop it. So they donated it to the city with a stipulation it remain undeveloped. I don't know what the city got out of that (in at least one case kids are allowed to sled on it in winter) but the owner didn't have to maintain it anymore or pay taxes on it but got to keep their lovely unobstructed view. I'd like to hope the field's owner had some similar upside to calling in the archaeologists.
If the land had been confiscated, which it wasn't, then the landowner would certainly have been compensated. As I understand it, he was still allowed to plough his land but only to the depth of the topsoil.
Oh before worse jobs, only difference is hair.
do they not have barbers in england?
19:52 Men are interested in results, and women are interested in "following the process". This is why some bureaucracies, especially ones with too many women, just take forever to get anything done.
Oh, ain't that the truth! I work for a non-profit organization with female-only membership. The husband of one once said to her, "I don't know how you expect 7,000 women to ever agree on anything." He's not wrong.
@@TimeLady8 Try to get 7000 men to agree on anything.
Roman Christians, not having massive luxury of church burials with stone statue medieval knights and ladies effigies, ... maybe a lost local area British Christian Roman patron saint or bishop - with saintly healing powers.
It could be any of these Celtic Christianity (and Romano-British) saints as well. www.houseofnames.com/blogs/celtic-saints.
me: an American atheist who's never been to Britain
also me: I do wonder why there's a pagan looking statue in the wall of that church 🤔
Seems to me Carenza Lewis is more interested in office politics and sucking up to her boss at English Heritage than actual archeology. Time and again she goes out of her way to clog up the works with her interpretation of some obscure regulation.
An older vid, but as interesting as ever -- it is also "interesting" to observe the (thankfully increasingly obsolete) "social artifact" of the men repeatedly asking a female team member to weigh in, and as soon as she does, they talk over her and start man-splaining all over the place and her face just goes all, "Well F.U. too, mate!" Grow up, guys! LOL
Really?! Is this your comment after watching a great archeology video? You woke weirdos are plain stupid! lol
@@venator76 Really? Is this your comment after watching this video? I would say this comment is correct. I would like to hear what she had to say. Wouldn't you, or do you just want to hear part of the story?
this is a kind of a shallow analysis
I can't stand these people
Let's consult the proper channels
No let's rip it up for good television!
These are the proper channels! Tony got a knighthood!
@@catofthecastle1681 3 days isn't enough. You make grids and get down there with trowels and brushes. I sat all day at a university labeling lithics with ink and covering it with a clear coat of nail polish. It's painstaking patient work.
I can’t take this guy seriously that wears the same rainbow sweater In every episode.
So 2 things : there is at least one atrocious sweater in every scene
And 2. This is the largest assortment of unattractive men I've seen in just one half hour
I've really enjoyed everything AH has put out except this one, which seems to be chocked full of pompous, ego inflated wankers. Martin's hair, the dude with the bow tie, the stoic "landowner"...Although I love learning, I am so glad a school day counselor guided me away from archeology as a career path. Is the only way to distinguish yourself in historical academia, to be a odd, even annoying, eccentric that people remember more for quirky fashion embrace, peculiar behavior and arrogance, than genius?
Take a look at a few of the other TT episodes. I think you might change your view. This was a very 'old-fashioned' episode in more ways than one.
I PREFER PAGANISM
over all of the ridiculous jesus/god nonsense...
The Time Team is al l a bunch of hippies. Which year is this episode from? 1968?
Oh... Just finished and it's 1994. Very funny how the British class system is still so evident. The hippies - some of them with surprisingly nice teeth for Brits! - with the funny accents are low class to lower middle class, the owner, archeology chief are landed gentry and upper class speaking very correct British English. The owner's stiffness indicates a private boarding school followed by a fairly high-ranking university, though not Oxford or Cambridge. Probably London School of Economics or Imperial College at best, possibly Sandhurst. The Archeology chief with her preppy haircut probably did a stint at a US college or university (using "pretty" is a dead giveaway if a Brit uses it instead of "rather" or "jolly well" or some such [no, I didn't attend a Brit school, I'm just a keen study of language like Henry Higgins]). The rest'o'em with newly washed and blow dried hair to the point of looking like bad afros (though that was for day 1 - the hair gets greasy and hangs in strands towards day 3) are middle class or upper-scraping-its-bottom middle class with provincial university education or a University for the Creative Arts BA. perhaps a night school MA. Those Brits are such a barrel of laughs. I wouldn't have been surprised if one of the ditch diggers had raised his head revealing John Cleese shouting "right-o!"
A truly keen student of language would know that the use of the word 'pretty' is far from being an Americanism. II has been in British usage since at least the start of the 20th century. (In fact, I'm pretty sure you'll find in Dickens.) As far as the British class system is concerned, it certainly is still a continuing feature of English society, more's the pity, but you seem to have a ludicrously caricatured view of it. Yup, darn tootin', ah'm purty sure y'all got that every which way but right, know what I'm sayin'?
