- Time Team are in search of the real-life Flintstones at one of Britain's major early Stone Age sites at a holiday camp at Elveden in Suffolk.
The site dates back 400,000 years when our early ancestors shared the country with lions, rhinos and elephants - but, contrary to the movies, definitely no dinosaurs.
Every time Phil gets to wax poetic about a flint I can't help smiling.
i love the bit starting c. 25:10 where they're using a photo of Mick Aston as a model for what early man might look like, while Mick himself is doing something right outside the window!
26:32 'here we have a decent face to go on...' with mick lurking outside the windows wondering what the lil' buggers are up to now!
ha hah ha.... time team is really great!
I found a fabulous flint hand axe whilst digging up my garden in Maidstone to lay the base for a shed. You just never know what's buried beneath your own feet
I wish the United States had archeology like that. I'd love to find Roman pottery or flint axes or Saxon pottery etc in my backyard.
My uncle found some native bones and the province was going to charge him $100,000 for the archaeology investigation. His wife has status so they got out of it eventually but it was like a year of arguing about who pays for the anthropologists to investigate his property.
@@edlingja1 since you say ‘province’ I presume you are speaking about Canada? It certainly sounds typical of the atrocious attitudes of successive Canadian governments in dealing with Native peoples. Little wonder why said Peoples have so many problems making any headway in settling claims ever since Confederation.
Mick Aston and Nick Ashton, for some reason those names together made me smile.
Phil is like an over-stuffed Worzel Gummidge. I love him.
He's a total wanker. I dislike him.
I like watching Phil's antics, but I was sad that Matt wasn't in this one :)
I love these episodes about prehistoric times... And it makes me wonder - we know who found a way to harness lightening for electricity. And who invented the telephone. But wouldn't it be great if we could pin down the first person who picked up a piece of flint and made a tool? Or the first person who found out how to use that tool to make fire? It would be amazing just to know where in the world these things happened... (aside from somewhere on a continent). This really is a great show. TY for putting it on YT. 💜😇💜usa
Yep, that moment, one you missed, maybe what you could eat....
Thrilled to see another episode around where I once lived! Barnham was a lovely place to live!
This is one of the funniest episodes of TT. I laughed so hard when they made fun of Mick 😂
I love Andy Currant from the Natural History Museum waxing lyrical about vole teeth!
Yes, Andy Currant is great!
Lisa Kilmer Do you know If he's part of any other time team episode?
@@Peter-ri9ie isn't he in the Cheddar Gorge episode as well?
Gertjan Nolten yes, I'm quite sure that he is part of at least one more episode, although I don't know which. Have to check it out. Thanks!

This was the first Time Team I ever saw, yrs ago when I was first exploring YT. Made me hungry for more! Thanks for leaving these up. Much loved!
I love Phil's accent.
I just took a weekend class on knapping obsidian. It's fascinating!! Given another decade, I might be able to create something that Phil wouldn't LOL at. Maybe. People who can knapp well are very talented and skilled!!! Respect 🙏
In your defense one is a stone,flint the other a glass.
A rock but glass I've tried I understand.....
I loved that map which showed that they were in spitting distance from where they tried to find the Norman cathedral on the school grounds
Andy's headdress has Python skits running through my head.
MY BRAIN HURTS
Given his accent, however, he can't be an upper-class twit. But yeah -- I keep thinking about them, too.
Andy is hilarious. I'm still giggling about the time he was pretending to be a paleolithic horse trying to escape from Phil. That was the one where Carenza was crawling around in a muddy cave in Scotland looking for bones.
This is Phil's episode!
Loved how when the different skull shapes were being looked at to speak of the differences in man..out the window "modern man" Mick was fumbling around with a jacket or the like & looked all lost. Comedy lol
Looked like he was fumbling with a plastic garbage bag picking up trash.
This was a very high spirited episode.
When they were building the Elveden Centre Parks, I was bringing the air conditioning units in from Germany.
Do they watch TT over there? Someday I'd like to visit the Alsace-Lorraine region as some of my mother's people came from there. Amazing how strict Lutherans ended up as Southern Baptists in just a few hundred years ( other relatives, not us)
"Cup of tea?" Early Grey with Milk and sugar please.
USA Irish girl raised on Tea, I actually don't drink coffee.
🍀🇺🇸🍀
"...might look like tiny pieces of flint to you and I..."
Ouch.
I think Phil might have had a crisis when he first held the flint at 8:10
He was struck by what the Italians called the lightning bolt.
Love this episode..
@9:28 John how you gonna find the river.? we're gonna use electrical imaging.
meanwhile we're all thinking ... where's Stewart?
The first site is here:
52.392274°N 0.658067°E
And Carenza's site is here:
52.373908°N 0.753570°E
Though not much is visible through the dense trees.
But the dark lines in the fields that follow the river channel seem to be here:
52.376284ºN, 0.722353ºE
So the first site is a country club now?
I wonder if the "3 parallel rivers" are actually 3 different courses of the same river over time?
Rivers meander, of course. And courses may widen, have islands, narrow, thin to braided riverlets, and so on, due to weather and seasonal event.
Mick outside the window, he’s like “oh shit” 😂
There goes Phil in his short shorts again.
25:00 is where you can tell how old this is. They now do know that those early stone age people are not particularly related to any of the later peoples who colonized Britain.
Well you kinda are if you lived an fled
Am I the only one laughing at two academics laughing like schoolboys at a "brown stripe across the landscape"?
Carenza has all the luck this episode!
Phill has nice legs for a man ,loving the show.
If such a limited amount of hhuman bone has bone found, why would they expect to find animal bone? From what I understand, the assertion is that the buckets will contain significant numbers of vole teeth and bones.
... How can pre-history be dated?
The flints are spectacular!!
I do find these weekend digs fascinating.. I keep thinking to myself, "I wish I was there."
Tony, " We're short of man power, where's Carenza?" I don't think he meant it the way it came out!
Mick Aston and Nick Ashton. Nothing says they are related, but they sure do look like father and son!
In areas of America we get Flint and we get Obsidian (volcanic glass)
And a lot of chert?
Is it a fair observation that some archeologists are eccentric? :-)
Only if it's a fair observation that some humans are eccentric. ^-^
I don't know the algebraic equation but typically the way it works is something like: Passionate + Single-minded + Dedicated + Smart + Intense then somehow factor in varying levels of Obsessed and Quirky, I suspect it usually equals your basic eccentric personality? I think you probably right in that the scientific scholarly professions likely tend to draw high populations of one kind.
However I suspect one might say the artistic professions may have a much higher percentage?
@@mrs.schmenkman What a great, considered reply.
Everyone in an anthropology department is usually fairly weird. The archeologists are the sensible ones, by contrast, although they also have an allergy to writing articles and a compulsion to write personal letters to their buddies, instead. (Which is the real reason why Time Team is proud of the number of their published articles. It's a freaking miracle that they got even one done, much less tons of them.)
As an archaeologist, yes that is a fair observation.
Phil Harding has an enthusiasm that is boundless ! It's infectious . And his accent is charming . Is it Yorkshire or what ????
Wiltshire?
He's from Wiltshire but more generally it's what's known as a "West Country accent."
@@GrahamCLester It's Wessex.
Born in Oxford, raised in Wiltshire. Currently living in Salisbury.
in the intro, "Four hundred thousand years ago"???
Homo heidelbergensis. Human footprints were found in Happisburgh they think may be a million years old. It’s fascinating!
Dang Phil! Those shorts!
Leopararouen I believe everyone is jealous of Phil's legs!
The man has a damn fine pair of legs. Enjoy the eye candy while it's still on display.
Cuz it's got hand axes in it! Yes, that's a good clue.
The difference between "eccentric" and "crazy" or "mad" is about a million dollars. If you have it you're eccentric and people are trying to be nice to get a piece of it, if you don't well, nobody cares what they call you or how harsh they are about it. Typical!
wish my strimmer would start first pull !
Thank the Lord for Swan Vesta!
Phil has got his denim hotpants on in this episode lol
Torbay 74 got to love Phil in his hot pants!
He comes from a time when men were not afraid of their own legs, lols.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 I think most people spending so much time in the sun and heat would get over it pretty fast instead of getting heat stroke
Hahaha, 😀👍👍
An interesting site in France is Disney World in the area east of Paris. Formerly the Forest of Brie-Comte-Robert (77), to satisfy the planners extensive geology was done for a report which included recommendations for the infrastructure needed to and from Paris
42:53 whoa, now those two really look like they were separated at birth
Omg, TT episode which I still haven’t watched! 😂
Is it a fair observation that Brits are powered by tea? They must be.... :-)
I can confirm that... Can't work till I've had my tea!
@@lupus67remus7 , I'm allergic to caffeine. Imagine my surprise when a dr. told me that tea contains more caffeine than coffee ...
So get the decaffeinated kind of tea.@@corneliawissing7950
Mick Aston and Nick Ashton. And Nick looks really similar to Stewart. That confused me for a second. lol
@regaltwo: The other one is called Ashton.
35:47 sick old school Airwalk T-shirt ( :
Mick Aston and Nick Ashton - very confusing!
Thought so too bad hearing I gots
Please download season one to five reiger
Am I the only one who gets John and Stuart confused?
Stuart is the one who gets results.
Used to before I watched a few dozen episodes.
thought they were one person until i saw them standing next to each other
Lol! I think I did to, but don't remember.
Hypatia4242 I have to stop and think sometimes if I just see their faces, but in action they're pretty easy to tell apart. It did take me a number of episodes to get to that point, however.
First aired February 6, 2000.
4:20, lol of all the headwear you could choose.
Is it just me or did Tony say at the start “400 millennia”? I think he meant centuries 😅
I don't understand the focus on the attire rather than the science.
I worked at at centre parcs
Nick and steward looks more alike than steward to john
46:28 "Thats what we laughlingly call modern man" :D :D
400,000 years ago about the time a hominid probably Heidelberg man split into Neanderthal and the ancestor of Modern Man.
After all this, I'm more keen than ever to know... who made the not-very-good tea? Sacrilege!
Why it always rains in England? Thanks for anyone who can answer. 😉
Can someone explain the difference between flint and alabates to me?
Flint is, in general terms a green chert-sometimes pink or green-grey and can also be banded or laminated. If the rock has banding or exotic colours, it is usually archeologically referred to as alibate or alabate. This particular type of rock is due to silica fluid percolating or being absorbed by a type of limestone called dolomite which is chemically altered by very saline fluid either during limestone formation or after crystallization. The 'dolomitization' frequently causes or at the very least emphasizes layering-or banding in the rock and can make the rock quite hard and have a concoidal fracture similar to glass and chert/flint. Being a geologist, I've never heard of the term until I heard it used in archeology.
RB Robichaud
Thank you very much. There is the Alibates Flint National Monument here in Texas that the Native people used for centuries for projectile points (for hunting mammoths as well as modern animals).
I appreciate your instruction because it makes more sense than just saying both names as though they were hyphenated. To tie it with archeologists makes all the more clear.
Not a problem and you're welcome!! It is like archaeologists have a different language than other scientists. They all understand but other disciplines and common folk would NOT understand the differences. Also, the UK may have a broader definition than the US. However, it is good that we make the effort to understand!! However, hope you've enjoyed the Time Team group; I watch for as much the camaraderie as for the finds!!!
They are talking about 400,000 years ago. Who was that? I thought that we didn't even start walking out of Africa in earnest before 40,000 years ago.
Say what?????
Simon is doing it with his pole. can I come in your trench Phil, the inneundo's in this program..
400,000 yrs ago hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha
That's just absolutely hilarious 😂😆😆😂😂
Stuff lived it really did not just us monkeys, sorry great apes.....
Why would there be so many flint axes at one place? Was it made by a few people for trading? Was it a hotspot for food and someone lost their axe every once in a while?
Let me put this into perspective for you: 400,000 years. Our recorded history spans around 1% of that time.
They are not saying all of this came from the same day, month, or from the same century, or even the same millennia.
I would guess there was a good, easily accessible source of flint there or near by and the river bank was a popular place to butcher, tan hides, etc. People tend to organize their environment.
THEY MAKE THEM LOOK SO APE LIKE IN THE PICTURE BUT THESE WERE MODERN HUMANS LIKE US MAYBE A LITTLE MORE BODY HAIR LOL BUT THEN I'VE SEEN SOM GUYS ON THE BEACH THAT COULD HAVE BEEN IN THAT PIC LOL LITERA
LLY WE HAVE NOT CHANGED FOR 500,000 YRS
Except some of us don't use all caps :)
@@harbourdogNL Augh but he/she was really excited about it.
What are neander towels?
Why is Darth Vader breathing in the background?
Neander towels
Yikes that sounds like a ton of hydrogen peroxide. Wonder how it’s deposed of properly. And makes me wonder if England has had a pollution problem for decades now
Mick Aston and Nick Aston, no relation.
Nick Ashton. No relation.
as soon as I heard 400,000 years i couldnt watch anymore of it.
Why? Human footprints found in Happisburgh may be a million years old. They aren’t talking about Homo sapiens, but homo heidelbergensis, who are thought to be the ancestors of the Neanderthals.
Live in ignorance forever then.
@@zoltanz288 ignorance is for those who think the earth is that old or older
Demand your money back!
100,000 years hear that you god squad...ha ha
Who is the lovely Archaeologist @ 42:53? So pretty!
Geir Balderson Stewart or Nick?
Carenza s voice and manner are so self important,shame ..
Think of being told to sound louder an more forceful for the camera.....
Wait...400,000 YO humans? I learned that homo sapiens is 200,000 YO.
You learned wrong.
Neanderthals were also humans who made stone tools. Like they said starting 25:12
They have found evidence of archaic hominids dating back much farther than previously thought. Look up information on the Denisovan remains found in Russia and Asia. "Human" history is far more complex, diverse and older than anyone ever imagined.
400,000 years ago?
Humans as such, didn't exist!
This area has been through two or more glacial periods, so a lot of the material is terminal moraine.
It wasn't homo sapiens
The *fact* is, we do not know that. Because we found something, does not even remotely imply it didn't exist before, maybe even long long before.
You may want to do a little research to get yourself up to date.
Neanderthals were ASLO humans that made tools and they explained all that starting 25:12
In general the term 'humans' refers to Homo Sapiens.
The term 'hominids' is used for the remainder.
The planet has gone through so many catastrophic events, that hominids could have evolved more than once, and been exterminated almost totally on many occasions.
I quite accept that creatures similar or Identical to Homo Sapiens may have existed long before present times. The oldest remains of a hominid, considered to be identical to modern man was in Africa, and from memory was 2 million years old, but, so far, nothing in Europe. Its doubtful, given the repeated glaciation that anything exists of earlier species in Europe, or if it does it is so deeply buried, that the likelihood of it being found is zero, barring an accident.

Lip sync f****ed again; rubbish editing????
Jesus Tony, read a book on archeology or something so you can ask an intelligent question even some of the time eh...
+Pete Beauds Sir Tony is an expert historian and knows plenty. This is his role to play in the series.
His job is to ask simple questions to make the show accessible to complete beginners
