Well that's pretty ignorant. 99% of the time when archeology is planned, the owners calling them are already planning on renovating the site anyway. Knowing the renovation contains old history, only shows that the owners care enough to call them before they smash everything to pieces. Time Team most likely saved the owners a lot of money removing that floor for them. Sad that some people tend to think archeology is only causing a mess...
@@Schmorgus In heritage houses, you can't just renovate as you please. Also, if that tile floor wasn't going back, they wouldn't have taken (or tried) such care to get them up.
Good Lord that made me shake my head. Without cutting away the grout the odds of success drop considerably. What they needed was an oscillating saw, but I don't know if they were being produced when the show aired.

My late mother would have loved this show-this episode especially! Imagine living in a house that once contained King Canute’s hall-more or less. I mean, the floor tiles are placed on the actual soil instead of a concrete slab! Living cheek by jowl with real history! It would be fun to build such a building and live in it, but I don’t suppose it would be allowed, at least in Chicago-building codes!

When that chap was playing the flute pipe thing, it suddenly occurred to me, that in an alternative universe, some nerdy red head could have stopped, introduced himself as a specialist in Anglo Saxon music, and just played anything at Phil, nodding at Phil's admiring disbelief, playing more music from the fly poo above the words... Like a long, straight faced joy of inventing a person and career, and pulling it off... I don't think I could do it.

For the comments on the broken tile's far as i know from some of their behind the scene's video's if they damage property or things they promised wouldn't be they do have to replace them so in reality they can break as many as they want but also means their cost for the episode goes up granted im not sure how many experts they have for landscaping and such since i do remember Tony in a prior behind the scene's saying they have gotten alot better at landscaping due to Time Team.
Just because a house is listed, doesn't mean that all of the contents and building materials are as well. A house can be listed for "this wall, this door, those windows". meaning that recent repairs or remodeling is fair game for "sledgehammer removal".
Easy way to remove tile is to make a rubber "stamp" of the same size (maybe a hair over), it has to be thick, and of a hard durometer. You place it on top, and with a heavy rubber mallet, you smack the tile under in all corners using a stout wooden drift. in a circular pattern. In theory (because some tiles will break inevitably), you break the bond, and then it's just a matter of using a wet sucker to pull the tiles up. I've had great success with tiles up to 12x12x1 tiles. Works even better if they are laid with a spacing of grout.
Very funny; Jane (the owner) gives Phil a look as he is folding up the wall tapestry like... be careful with that your folding it wrong. Meanwhile Phil is going on about trenches and excavation in the house.
First time I've caught this episode! Matt is so young! Great find, @Time Team Classics. Victor's drawings were so lovely. What an artist. I truly could picture King Knut there.
I remember a different TT episode, in which they were talking about halls built with a beam slot, and the supporting post holes on the OUTSIDE of the buildings rather than the inside. I don't know which period of history that referred to but I thought that was also Saxon. Might that be an explanation of why the walls and the posts were so close together, and the hall was mostly on the outside of the house, just all destroyed by later work?
"This is a sheduled house and the tiles have to go back as we found them" They start smashing them with a pickaxe and a sledgehammer hahaha gotta love it.
Saw there were 10 seasons on Amazon prime Sweden. I suggest you contact them and ask how many are available in your region, maybe you could watch all 20 season in your region?!
No cellar? I am greatly suprised! In New England it's in the cellar you can see the original foundation stones and you can almost tell how old the building is, if you are skilled enough!
His name was probably Knut (Norwegian) or Knud (danish), not Cnut. And the pronunciation is a bit wrong in English 😆. The pressure is on the u, not the n. This name is still in use in Norway and Denmark.
I know this is an old comment. And although I have seen this episode twice before. I just went like: "What is she saying?" Quite funny in retrospect. 😀 I never noticed this before.
No, his name was Cnut, alternate spelling Canute. It doesn't matter how YOU think his name ought to be spelled; the common modern-day spelling has nothing to do with it. I think we should change the spelling of YOUR name to something else. Who cares if your name has been spelled the same way all of your life, on all of your documents, chosen by your parents, and everyone you know has been spelling it that way? I don't happen to approve of how your name has always been spelled, so I'm changing it. 🙄
@@edennis8578 I'm Danish, as was he. His name was Knut, pronouced Knutir - but called Canut in English, because you don't know how to learn other languages or respect other cultures, in your history. Knut den mektige (norrønt: Knútr inn ríki; født ca. 995, død 12. november 1035), også omtalt som Canute på engelsk, var konge av England fra 1016 til 1035 og av Danmark fra 1018 til 1035!
@@edennis8578 Don't be an idiot - Canut is the English alternation of the name, his name was Knut. He is, and always has been called Knut in Nordic nations, as that is his name, his birth name. :D
Knud (Cnut) is an old Nordic boy's name originating from the Norse knútr (= knot). The name is available in several variants, here mentioned in order of frequency: Knud, Knut and Knuth. In Flateyjarbok it says that Gorm the Old's father was named Knud and grew up as a foundling and slave, but ended up as king. That Gorm's father was actually named Knud is probable, because Gorm's eldest son was named Knud Danaast. Even then, the name must have been widespread, because Knudstrup is a common place name, also in Danelagen; and it occurs in Normandy, where it is also known as a family name. Förstemanns Namenbuch mentions an Old High German Chnuz from the period 774 - 786, and a Knut is known from Dutch territory in 834. The first with the name in Norway is Knútr of Jathri around the year 1150, but he was the grandson of Svend Estridsen, and probably named after relatives in the Danish royal house. Knut was a common name in Norway in the Middle Ages. More than 30 people with the name are mentioned in Regesta Norvegica (from the period 822-1430). The name came to Sweden with Swedish warriors in Knud the Great's army, and by marriage between Danish and Swedish princely families. In Latin it was perceived as Canutus (= the gray-haired, venerable). In England, the variants Canute and Cnut are known side by side in the Domesday Book from 1086.

I married into Lund, even more generically widespread in many forms. "By the wood" Blacksmiths since forever, from Sweden or Norway had to have a forge fuel source, makes sense.
I’m glad the archeologists finally called Tony on his negativity. It’s exhausting. He’s like a soccer mom who has never played a sport, sitting with her latte, yelling at the kids what they should be doing and then grabbing the glory when they win.
Congratulations on another pretty darn good presentation. Thanks especially for pronouncing 'KNUT' almost perfectly; lose the 'A' in Canute and you've got it! Cheers from Knut in Vinland.
Knut the great, son of Svein Forkbeard/Tjugetjegg - literally the "beard that grows on trees" , his grandfather, Harald Bluetooth had no idea that the device we all carry on our devices would be named after him.
I just found this show and as an American this episode really caught my attention because like so many others can say, Harald the Bluetooth, Sweyn and Canute are in my ancestry. I know its not uncommon for people of today to be descended from them, but to me it still means something.
Would it not have been fun to use the floor stones in some manner to show the locations of the pre-Saxon archaeological remains underneath? It might have been as simple as just the pattern of the stones or possibly using a slightly different color stone to illustrate the history beneath? Talk about a conversation piece. And the fact that portions of the current home date from the 1100’s is absolutely fantastic. Here in Arizona an historic building will date from the 1830’s because there is nothing older for the bureaucrats to fret about. 🤣
The real heroes are the guys who put everything back after the show had ended.
25+ years experienced woodworker here fully agrees.

And in one episodes they said about permission to dig
I thought they said the tiles had to go back in? And then they just smash them lol
😂 Day 2 trenches always seem to be under the spoils of Day 1 trenches! 😂
Canute the Great, son of Sweyn Forkbeard. His grandfather Harald Bluetooth made the Danes christian.
Knut the great, son of Svein Forkbeard/Tjugetjegg - literally the "beard that grows on trees" , his grandfather, Harald Bluetooth had no idea that the device we all carry on our devices would be named after him.
I just found this show and as an American this episode really caught my attention because like so many others can say, Harald the Bluetooth, Sweyn and Canute are in my ancestry. I know its not uncommon for people of today to be descended from them, but to me it still means something.
Would it not have been fun to use the floor stones in some manner to show the locations of the pre-Saxon archaeological remains underneath? It might have been as simple as just the pattern of the stones or possibly using a slightly different color stone to illustrate the history beneath? Talk about a conversation piece. And the fact that portions of the current home date from the 1100’s is absolutely fantastic. Here in Arizona an historic building will date from the 1830’s because there is nothing older for the bureaucrats to fret about. 🤣
That flute sounded like a truck horn at first.
Thank you
Time Team theme!
At 21:01 I thought for a moment I was looking at a D&D map.
Those tiles by the door are going to be a bit of a pill to put back in.
Phil Harding is Tom Bombadil
Interesting figure in the window, second level and to the right of the door of the housed, at 0:18~
Window of the vehicle or lower window of the House ?
Tony can be a real pain sometimes. But I still like him.
I think the homeowner was very brave.
Preserve tiles and put them back in place. They should never have given the lady a sledgehammer who smashed at least two of them.
