More more more!!!!
Maybe make this a patreon member feature, starting to wonder why I pay my fee as everything is free on TH-cam
Wow! I never knew John Gater discovered the Ness of Brodgar. Absolutely brilliant work. Much respect.
there's a reason John stays on the team, he's damn good at what he does!
@@ghomerhust Absolutely agree. All the more interesting is the tongue in cheek way the Time Team used to lambast John mercilessly. Great humour mixed in with the archaeology.
I had no idea it was John either. What a catch for the guy who taught us all what geophys is and does.
Seeing John is like seeing an old friend! What a light he’s been in his field.
Many fields..........
I was featured in the intro! OMG guys I'm so freaking flattered that you would include me that way. Thank you so much it means the absolute world!
I'm really enjoying Time Team News. Dani is a wonderful presenter!
This is a wonderful addition to the time team programming. It’s such a treat to discover all the amazing work being done in the world. Being in the US, it was great to learn about the dig in Oregon! I had no idea this was going on. Amazing to discover evidence of such an ancient culture here in the US. Thanks ever so much for all you folks are doing. I’m proud to be a supporter!
The Univ. of Oregon came out and mapped the rock shelter at my place in Oregon. Most of what they found was from Indigenous occupation, hunting, and camas harvesting. It was fascinating to learn about!
TIME team suggestion. I’d enjoy a full episode discussing the advancements in geophysics. How the technology and resolution has changed. Limitations, ideal use situations etc.
With some technical explanation slightly dumbed down for us non-PhDs.
To think the very first TT episode when the biggest success was Geophysics revealing of the building layout or the water bottle counter weight on researchers back for balance
That scene where they were the first to see the floor plan of athelney Abbey in centuries is something I'll never forget.
Definitely!
I’ve watched Time Team for years and was sad when it finished. Now I am so glad it’s back
A brilliant effort. The "Team" I am certain is going from strength to strength which gives me great joy. I am certain Mic would be proud. I share John's achievement in part from what little I have done in my profession in roughly the same time. Please keep on keeping on. The Time Team have done a great deal in boosting my moral during difficult times over many years. Knowing Tony is now involved has pleased me greatly.
So glad to hear of John rightly blowing his trumpet…..that’s a real legacy we are all grateful for
We absolutely loved seeing Orkney in May. I am in love with the Stenness site. We were there too early to visit the Ness site, but we were thrilled about it all the same.
Someone please hug John Gater and buy him all the ale he wants, in gratitude and kudos from a couple of American fans. Well done!
Love and Husband and I are so proud to be a supporting members of Time Team! This NEW Time Team News is awesome! More please!!
Love the '99 Problems but a Ditch Ain't One' shirts.
Yea! I showed up multiple times in the background on the Abby segment! It was a fantastic dig and everyone was fascinated as the in situ floor was revealed and Hugh realized what had been found. I was inspired to join Hugh’s dig last year in Crowland and this year in Cerne Abbas after watching every Time Team episode on TH-cam during COVID lockdowns. I am looking forward to joining Hugh and his great team next year, and will of course keep following Time Team.
Really love the archaeology news from around the world!
Let's remember that Time Team is a global phenomenon, not just in the UK, as the type of news articles exemplifies.
I’m loving this format and proud to be a Patreon right from the start - please consider joining, it’s dead cheap and you get so much more content!
Oh, this is wonderful!! Thank you so much for making this available!
Thanks for letting us all be a little part of this amazing work.
I live in Titusville Florida, and in the early 1980's, an ancient burial ground was uncovered during construction of a subdivision. The bodies were buried in a bog, and date back to, I believe, about 7000 BC. It would be fascinating to see you cover and share this. Originally, they reported the DNA was European, but have since changed their minds. It's called the Windover Dig
Oregonian here, so glad to hear you guys mention this! There are so many incredible finds here
Loving the monthly news. Perfect!
Lovely to see John Gater, one of my favourites, and looking so well. Many thanks
WWAAAHHH I'M SO EXCITED!! You guys mentioned the Rimrock Draw Archaeological site that's in my region! I actually had the privilege of going to a local community talk by Patrick O'Grady where he explained what they had found at the site. At the time the carbon dates hadn't come back yet so actually hearing the dates is new information to me. Thank you so much for including Rimrock Draw in today's news!
Well done Dani, as always. This is a great addition to Time Team, enjoyed both so far and looking forward to more.
This is so great! Just what we need to help us follow world archaeology!
I really enjoy the opportunity to catch up with the latest archaeological news via this format. Discoverer of the Ness of Brodgar . . . John Gater rocks!!!
I notice your tomatoes in the background, Dani, and as a keen gardener myself, I'd love to know more about what archaeology can tell us about gardening, rather than agriculture. The mention of the cloister garden in this episode, and then the repurposed 'plant pot ' fascinated me, but we don't often hear about evidence of gardens. What might have grown in those plant pots? Where and how did people grow herbs and flowers in the past? What do we know about the tools people used? How have advances in environmental archaeology opened new doors in this area?
Wow those sandals were fabulous I hope mine look as good in 10.000 years. Ha,ha!
Great to see John rightly being proud of the Ness of Brodgbar-The Orkneys must surely be the Northern Stonehenge and the source of legends about mystical isles across an impassable sea full of mists, wild currents and deadly whirlpools. There is a rich history of pre-colonial North America that I am pleased is being investigated to hopefully further research into humankinds ventures out of Africa. Great bulletin and more full TT please!
Well, I can die happy now.
So glad to see the Ness featured!
I'm really looking forward to this episode👍 Norway and Orkney have always been close friends 🙂
Me too. It is all exciting!
@@TheInternationalist01 In the words of Monty Python, let's not bicker and argue about who killed who! A new Time Team is a happy occasion! 🎉😂
I really love the Time Team News 😀 ! Please keep it.
Thank you all for another wonderful episode. Prehistoric findings from outside Eurasia are always so fascinating to hear about.
I'm really enjoying the Time Team News and thrilled for John Gater. I hope there will be a bit more in depth look at the Ness of Brodgar in the future.
What a delight! Wonderful presentation by Dr. Wooten. By Jove I missed Time Team!
10.000 year old sandals, and so well preserved. Seems like 80% intact. That's really amazing
the more info the better! love these, please keep these going!
John you’re the best ! Favorite cast member from way back.
Exciting to see the new format, building upon the great Time Team legacy. Thank you, all.
The antler looks like button production. I love this monthly news update! Thank you Dani and Time Team!
As an Oregonian and a Native. I love the digs here that are broadening and deepening our understanding of our ancestors. I can't wait to see the full report when it is ready.
Same here up in Washington State.
Love this new series!
Absolutely another great episode!
I first found out about Orkney via a children's book called Boy with the Bronze Axe. The story was based in Skara Brae. My then 6 or 7 yr old son read that book to pieces, literally.
Ah, our Dani Saturday. Love your reporting Dani, and your enthusiasm for the past.
Good to see John. Fifty years of geophys? I’m in awe!
The northern settlements like Brodnar are fascinating. Why did people decide to live in such hard areas for survival?
First of all, Yay Oregon! My home state ❤️. Obviously, that is a famous Orkney massage ball! 😅 Love these news stories! 🎉
I love this new format-I think it will be broadly popular as well.
Just loving this new feature.
Fantastic! Thank you Dani for pronouncing Or e gun (Oregon) correctly!
This was a really interesting programme. Such variety! I especially liked the piece about the footwear. I am so pleased you are also including information about what is going on in other countries. Even for those not directly involved in archaeology, it certainly expands our knowledge and understanding. My thanks to you all - and I look forward to the next one.
I haven't seen Episode 1 yet, but I'm already hooked. Old friends and new friends, what could be better.
Love time team. Bring back Phil! A national treasure.
I think he is retired. :-) He deserves some peace and quiet if he decided to not be part of the digs this time around.
while i do adore Phil immensely, he is getting up in age, and i think he's decided to hang up his boots and hat. this kind of work is NOT easy, much harder than what Stuart and John do, especially with the knees and back! he's given us many years of wonderful entertainment and insight, i think maybe we can let the old fellow relax with a pint and kick his feet up from here on out!
@@ghomerhust hes younger than Tony and we got him back, i know digging in a trench might be a bit much for him but he could come back as some sort of walking archaeology encyclopedia lol. maybe work with Tony on the bits hes doing, thats a double act i could watch all day....
That's what I said. I think he's retired and deserves some peace and quiet.:-)@@ghomerhust
Phil's done a number of videos for the Wessex Archaeology TH-cam channel but after decades of digging his back and knees are pretty shot. There's a wonderful life size sculpture of him in the Salisbury museum if you ever get to go visit there. But yes he's mostly done now.
Wow! Excellent news from around the world.
Archaeological news from precolumbian America is always very welcome information. Hopefully we'll hear someday that someone has found a cache of birchbark Mayan codices...
🤞🏼🙏🏼
I went to college with Patrick O'Grady back in the 90s. He was a grad student and I was undergrad. He's a great person and a great archeologist. I'm glad to see his work recognized.
I thing the stone balls are part of a game. My guess is it had some sort of tossing and/or rolling envolved. There were probably levels to the game needing more and more elaborate made balls.
I thought it may have been a sort of dice or knuckles that were tossed up.
Yes, my immediate idea was some sort of gaming piece too, and that quite independently. They look like knuckle-bones, probably ‘standardised’ so that they roll more evenly. Perhaps used for divination, or for an early form of boules? If there were varying numbers of dots on each of the external knobs, I suspect the archeologists wouldn’t need to ask what they were for!
Dani is such a good presenter! ❤
I have a growing fascination for medieval floor tiles. Too bad we don't have any here in California.
The 1st segment was so interesting in its own right of course, but also because I am re reading the Brother Cadfael books and a look at a monastery, especially Benedictine is really a treat. And, living in Oregon it's a treat to see this segment. Well done to the entire team. Oops, can't forget the finds. How interesting and what a huge amount of work.
I read a couple Cadfael in HS, but remember little about them.
I'm from Oregon too. I loved the Brother Cadfael books. I went to college with Patrick O'Grady and helped with the zooarcheology on the site he did for his dissertation. I love this new show and really love Time Team.
This was excellent! Thank you. Proud to be a Patreon member. Go Time Team!
Like I commented on Episode #1, I really enjoy the new “Time Team News”. Thanks Dani and crew!
I remember getting covered with Mt St Helens ash too, but I'm not quite prehistoric yet, lol. Thanks for all the great stories.
Ooooo, Orkney!
Soooo exciting!
Excellent to see news from N. America. I love this format. Thank you!
Brilliant. Thank you. Hopefully it get some more support for you.
Thanks for that. Been a Time Team fan for many many years
thhis to me is one of the most important programs
Orkney looks so amazing, I hope to visit one day and enjoy some of the wonderful archaeology. Thanks for the link to the donation page, I'm happy to support this fascinating new discovery!
It is an extremely interesting place. I had five days there about fifteen years ago and have wished ever since, I had spent more time there.
Time Team is awesome!
“Balls” in Orkney are probably weights used in weaving. Making fabric had to be done constantly. Loom weights are found all over in different materials, shapes and sizes.
so excited at new show thank you
Such an excellent coverage of archeological discoveries all over the globe. It was great to see Jon at the site he discovered.
Brilliant format Dani, lovely to see how it is developing, kudos to you all!
Honestly so chuffed I found this channel. I'm having such a good time 👍👍
Brilliant! More please....
Way go john gater! Thats a beautiful site up there.
Thanks for the great job as always Dani see you next month
Yep loving these updates!
My 5 penceworth on those carved stone balls is they are to do with loom weights and yarn. Wound with yarn, in figures of 8 for example, preserves a skein of essential cloth threads, especially wool in northern Scottish Islands, prevents unwitting, and allows for a much longer bolt of cloth to be made than a looms height. Also the oils and waterproofing of the yarn would be preserved. Essential in inclement weather or sea faring. And the oils would polish these stones beautifully, helping preserve their beauty for all those years before being found.
The Orkney peoples extracted the most out of little, and often made everyday objects beautiful as we would desire today. Its our loss time, sand and tides have left us so little remains of the colour and artistry they made of their world.
To all of the negative nellies and debby downers in the comments, your comments fuel the algorithm and provide much hilarity. The rest of us are happy to continue supporting Time Team.
Great episode! And wonderful to see Miles Russell again.
I'm excited to have heard about the dig in Oregon. Beautiful state. I'll have to do some research. Thanks, Time Team. So happy to hear of John's work. I didn't realize he discovered the site.
Enjoyed the updates and learning familiar voices from Time Team.
What a great update! Fascinating and well presented!
All of this show was fantastic!!!! Love watching it! The finds in Oregon were of particular interest....in America, archaeology is a non-starter with too many people. Bulldozing is a enforced norm...sigh.
Woot for Dani!!!!
Love these news episodes!!!!!!
Thanks for covering international finds. As a North American, we have theories about early migration and settlement, but they are being undermined by archaeology - thank goodness!
Another great video.
I love this new series!
Really enjoyed this format and the way its presented
Love this News format. Mike 🇦🇺
Greetings from Oregon! So glad you covered RimRock draw site and our museum!
Great how overseas digs are also included.
Slingshot came to mind of those polished stone balls, always loved Time Team, keep digging 👍❤️
Love it! Fascinating stuff.
So well presented! Proud to remain a member.
This is all amazing.
The Oregon site looks really interesting to me.
Excellent work, more please! One thing I've realised - archeological digs (and in another way analysis) is BLOODY HARD WORK! And thanks for inspiration - last month I walked the Cotswold Way keeping my eyes open for finds. Nothing much. A piece of orange Roman thermal tile, too big to pocket! I then did the Peddars Way and Day 1 - A (circa) 5,000 year old flint arrow head. Absolutely pristine, absolutely beautiful!
