- The team attempt to solve the secret history of a well-preserved female skeleton found in Launceston, Cornwall, and examine a possible connection to a leper hospital. Was a female skeleton found in Cornwall a leper, a Civil War casualty, or a plague victim? Time Team has just three days to solve the mystery of the Cornish skeletons. They aim to determine the context of the burials and investigate the boundaries of the leper colony. The excavation faces challenges due to disturbed land from sewage works and the possibility of finding traces of leprosy.

Gotta admire their commitment to the show, given the terrible conditions they are working in.
Mick just standing casually in a puddle, lol. I sure miss him
American here: I've obsessively watched TT on RUclips and any other channel I could find for the past few years and this is the first time I've seen this episode. Anyone know why it isn't included in international series? Happy to see it!
no idea, but I lived 10 miles away from there, for those that know, pronounced 'lanston'
Leprosy is eminently treatable these days. One of the medications used these days, as well as appropriate antibiotics, is thalidomide.
Did Tony just lament the incompleteness of skeletons in a former *leper colony* ?
Leprosy has to be on the list of top five worst ways to live until you die. Death is probably welcomed with open arms (and deformed, pointed, little fingers, also, it appears).
Sorry - not live - but great fun to see you on/near Mt Baker!
The new Time Team series sadly lacks the magic of Tony's "everyman" style of presentation. Please keep the old ones coming.
I always liked this one.
I am surprised they didn't remember the first Willy Wonka movie, and the kid who loved TV... Phil looked the part...
LOL well this is older than my maiden aunt lol
Leprosy loves colony 😅
Im curious about the British climate. Are the summers hot and humid?
Humid yes, hot it depends. There are years with mild temperatures, other years can be hotter.
@elbalirachid2658 it stays so humid here I can't stand it. Cloudy breezy climates is what I would prefer.
@@TravisBrady-wn8fr more like the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and France maybe
That pc has almost the same age as that skeleton. 😄
When I was young, there were 2 graves buried outside the cemetary about 100 yards across a field. They were identified as leper graves and people feared they could get leprousy by being anywhere near leper graves.
I was thinking that might be why a sewage works was on the site - even all these years later people might not want to live there.
Love TT , but I always wish they said original airdate ✨✨
This one seems super early.. Robin is young looking (well, they all are..) and Tony is just a little bit less sure about presenting.. funny, the long run of the show means there's a bit of archeology to be done in the viewing! ^_^ :D
@@kerrizor And Carenza's bobbed hair puts it in the first few seasons. Second or third, perhaps?
It took a bit of goggling, it's season 4 episode 2.
Stewart and Phil look so much younger!
That computer!
Ynyone get the last item they sliced and added to the Cold medication they were concocting for Phil?

Leprosy ? "Ah well, I mustn't crumble"
Do you Brits have any idea how crazy it is for us Americans to see how casual everyone is about finding skeletons? It's like they're everywhere you sink a shovel over there!! 😆🤣
Finally found this Time Team Series 4, Episode 2. With the popularity of these Time Team episodes why do they make them so hard to find?
