I'm a 42 year old hvac technician in Mobile, Alabama and I can positively identify Saxon pottery. Thanks Time Team.
Just wait until you start buying modern samian ware to use.
@@whyjnot420 Haha!!! I have several pieces, both decorative and functional!!
Being from Bubbabama you aren't allowed to believe in dinosaurs correct?
HA! Best comment. (Now, tell me, how and why did one of the conduits in my Venmar air exchanger unit fill with water?!)
@@harbourdogNL If it wasn't sealed then the dry, low pressure of your cool indoors pulled in the humid, high pressure of the outdoors. Once it got to the part of the conduit where the temps changed then the moisture in the warm air condenses and will fill the conduit with water.
My greatest garden find was a Chewbacca toy from the early 1980’s. Minus it’s right arm. I cleaned him up and now he stands on one of my kitchen window sills.
You might wanna get into contact with Adam Savage. He might present a very nice cheque to buy it.
Sounds about my finds! Lol
Mine is in my little pony from 1984. I was so excited when I found it. Granted it was 1986
I met Tony - he is an absolutely lovely fella. Extremely cordial and pleasant chap.
My ADHD loves time team because it’s solid information, in small bite size bits. Everything I’ve learned from time team over the last 25 years has made me look much more intelligent than I actually am in conversations with people much smarter than me haha.
😅 Haha! I have ADHD/ASD. I so laughed at your comment lol. Know a whole lot about everything & nothing at the same time lol.
Hahaha! Mate I love this too! I too have the super power that is ADHD. And have watched this religiously since my late teens. I’m told I’m the king of “useless information” but it’s what I’m possessed by so I love it! I’m now re watching them all. I’m back in my Archaeology “phase” which as you know might last days, or maybe months haga. Hey do you love “film recaps?” I can watch 15 movies in one night! Haha. Cheers from Australia
I’ve been watching for so many years I feel I’ve grown old with Tony and the gang. I still love watching these episodes.
I laughed entirely too long at "come and see the dead Roman..." being said to school children. 😂😂😂😂
Would have got me that line....
I would have been upset to only see pots.
My best backyard find was a Clactonian flint lithic (material source, Leicestershire / Lincolnshire chalk), teardrop shaped, 150 x 120 x 50mm, with retouching and signs of use; a classical rhyolite flake 80 x 30 x10mm, with retouching (material from Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire); a hunk of fossil bone. All found when digging a flower bed in my own garden and dated to the post-Anglian Ice Age circa 450,000 B.C. They were the first ever Palaeolithic finds from this area of the southern West Midlands and are now in the British Museum.
Fantastic!
I can hear Phil now -- "Oh, ar -- foine bit o' flint there, actually." And Francis Pryor would probably love a crack at your garden.
@@haplessasshole9615 "Francis Pryor would probably love a crack at your garden."
See how long it would take him to say the word "ritual"...I figure under 5 minutes. 🤣
@@harbourdogNL Oh, well under five minutes, especially if there's a spring nearby!
@@haplessasshole9615 Or a misshapen tree 😄
Seeing Mick Aston with his multi-coloured jumper once again is so poignant.😢
Time Team was such fantastic show.
Potteryville was it? Just up the road! That's Monty Python!..."Dog Biscuits"
the kid at 50:38 is diggin hard for that ancient history lol!
Miss ya Mick
I'm so fascinated and jealous. I wished I could be this kind of scholar when I was younger
Tony is such a breathless little pixie who always has "just three days!!!"
Its important to understand the past to see where we are going in the future. Great work Time Team. Keep digging.
50:35 the poor boy picking his nose will now be immortalized.
I don't think Stewart gets the respect he deserves sometimes.
He saves much time and effort by just observing. He has taught me a lot. The other experts may be dismissive of him but very often to an independent observer he stands above the others.
The man is brilliant; the most critically important person on the show in my opinion, followed by John Gater.
@Ptolemy Jones - The Landscape Whisperer!
His sweaters don't get enough attention!
Thanks to time team, I know more of Britain's history than of my own country's...
Wonderful program. I know it's an old show, but it's the first show I've seen that isn't raining. On the contrary a wonderful sunny day.
This show doesn't exist anymore does it???
I love living in the US, but our lack of history that extends back for centuries is kind of a bummer. I love stuff like this.
That's why we extend around the world so we can see all the neat stuff 😊
Tony told off for skiving off the job by Phil lol
Tony I love your energy and have to say you give us a fair shake on finds, thoughts and history. Thank you to all of the Time Team.
LiDar would have been incredibly helpful at the Priory dig. It may have helped in exposing the remaining structures in order to give a better vantage point to the layout.
They barely ever used LIDAR in any of their digs. Remember this series started in 1994 and ran 20 seasons. This is 14, 16 & 17 making up the trio of digs shown here.
If you want primitive but awesome go watch the first episode and look at what they did with resistivity.
@@whyjnot420 I get that. I've been watching Time Team for a long time. I understand what was available, what they did or didn't use in the way of technology. I was simply saying that it would have been great if, at that particular dig, LiDAR could have stripped away all the dense foliage to reveal the remaining structures. It would have been really cool to see how it looked.
Agreed. Some of these old episodes should be updated with a LiDAR revisit to see if they were accurate ... and to see if there is more there to discover...
@@mondomacabromajor5731 That would be absolutely amazing!
Agreed! I'd love to see them go back to some of their earlier episodes with today's technology! Imagine how much more they could get through in "just three days" with Ground Penetrating Radar, 3D Imaging etc!
I love watching how the history is revealed, including the false starts and misidentified elements that keep viewers and experts guessing.
I had the pleasure of meeting Robin Bush, the original archivist on TT, about twenty ish years ago before he sadly passed away and as well as an immense amount of knowledge and a great love for history he also had some wonderful "behind the scenes" tales.
Most ingenious moment of this episode for me was at 39:47 when one of the guys uses a camera lens as magnifiyng glass. It really works and it's simply a cool workarounf.
Yes it does got a good butt beating for breaking them out of my parents cameras to play with them.....
Ah the life of a inquisitive young boy!!!!!
I always enjoy your programs and so wish I could visit the historic UK.
Re: Littlington As a geologist and gardener, I suspected that the villa was where the village is now. Reason 1: Landowners would have put the village in the ruined soil of a demolition site, not on good agricultural fields. A medieval village, with its higgledy-piggledy streets, could be built around the ruins, and in addition, using the old site meant hauling robbed stone a shorter distance. 2. I don't think I've ever seen such poor soil and such desperate-looking grass in any other English garden. And the people digging look like they're digging into a pile of bricks. I believe the soil on this site has never recovered from being strewn with the wreckage of the villa. I'm particularly suspicious of the plaster.
Mick definitely had the right tank top.
..by the looks of some of the local helpers, a genetic survey might help too..bet there's more Saxons above ground than below!
skeletons in the shed needs a second dig.... super intresting. so many layers of history.
Blythburgh in Suffolk? if so.. just up the road from me.
I'm listening with an old houndog who lost his sight and bark in the last 18 months and he's digging the descriptions.
Good thing he can still sniff out the finds
His mom and I speculated on the symbolism of a hound at ones doorstep. What do you make of that?
@lainecolley1414 we will howl with the hound at night ,
And walk through that valley with a friend at our right.....
Sounds good to me
The kid picking his nose at 50:39 is probably still getting razzed for it to this day.
😂
Wick Dive/Wick Hamon is my all time favourite dig
I love the way these have been edited, I can get three episodes done in an hour👌
More time for more!!!!!!
There is so much history under or feet in England, it must be hard to find places with nothing!
I wish we could find more evidence to show what life was like here before, during and immediately after the sea inundation/tidal wave that destroyed Doggerland.
Phil in shorts 😍
Bendoverjustonemoretime 😊
they really had those childrens attentions...did you see how enthrauled the little boy was who was picking his nose..?? chuckle..
The 2 episodes that I remember the best are The King Of Bling, and that one with the scammer who threw some artefacts on his land that he had for sale, to make it more valuable. (A sword on top of barbed wire, coins and buttons in a well but they were all affected by their previous surroundings in different ways etc.)
He was not responsible they think for putting it together he did try to profit from it.....
Hope everyone flipped him some" fun lip" for doing it
My three favorite Time Team garden digs were the Iron Age round house in Waddon, the Roman buildings in Papcastle, and the Anglo Saxon cemetery in Raunds.
Cool shot of a couple of hang-gliders at 25:32. (I had to zoom in on it to make it out due to the distance.)
Mick is without his striped sweater. Be still, my foolish heart!
Many in shorts too, must have hit a whole 20° that day.
c1ph3rpunk Hahaha! I live in the American West, so when I hear or read about folks complaining about the horrible heatwave (80-85 degrees F) in the UK or Europe I wonder what they would do with 100+ degree F weather. Someone will argue that it’s more humid in the UK which is true, although we’ve begun to have much more humidity here in the summertime compared to when I was growing up. But I’ve been to New Orleans and Atlanta in the summer when it’s 95 degrees and 98% humidity. I’ve also been close to the Equator at the same time of year and can honestly say that the two US cities were absolutely unbearable in comparison. Global Climate Change is doing weird stuff everywhere.
Mike kept in shape. Go Mick!! Great man
@@monicacall7532 Check out S4E1 of *Time Team* if you want to see this load of Brits experiencing a Chesapeake Bay summer in Maryland. I think there are instances of every one of the core Team members saying, "It's the humidity that's killing me," or some variation thereof. The fairest of them all was, of course, Ginger John Gater. He wound up sporting a ball cap with a bandana hung behind to protect his delicate neck from the sun. He still had a nasty sunburn.
@@monicacall7532 I live in Liverpool, England. Believe me, when you get 360 days of drizzly, cold weather, 5 days of 80-85°F IS a heatwave! Hahaha! The thought of 100+°F on a regular basis is terrifying! On the other hand, I couldn't stand the extreme cold either! -20 and below regularly is just as frightening. If we get 1 - 2 inches of snow the whole country grinds to a halt!!
it's just so interesting what ever you find,i sometimes wish i was there.
Good God, the commercials are very intrusive, RUclips.
Unfortunately when something is ‘Free’ results in being inundated with advertising. That is the payment. RUclips have exploited this to the extreme. Fair payment is acceptable, but this level of intrusion reminds me of the outrageous interest charges of loan sharks.
it has definitely got Much Much worse over the last six to twelve months.. Definitely
i used to think the amount they did run adverts was fine (for free viewing)
i have asked Google about it
Tony always running like he stole something. 😂
Thanks!
Fantastic work by the team!
Though every time I watch these I keep thinking I bet they are kicking themselves about not listening to Phillipa Langley 😂
We had this show on the telly in New Zealand, not anymore, hasn't been screened for many years.
It must've been one very hot day in Blighty. How rare. 30°F+?
Some great to see your collection of glass seals. I happened upon a beautiful 17th century glass seal while digging, detecting in a field! Keep up the inspiring work. #tidelineart
Mick was great👍🇬🇧
Fantastic work
Three days on a budget to explore our history and an unlimited budget for war to kill people we never met.
I love the way we live out lives.
Ironically, what they are often digging up is evidence of huge wars and invasions into our country. Romans, Saxons, Normans, Vikings. It's all evidence of the amount of money spent by these invaders to take over our lands. The Romans were here for centuries, the Saxons even longer and the Normans are effectively still here. They just settled down and became English/British!
A nice miserable way to look at this show.
Yeah we don't want to watch a real version of what the past can show us.
Why didn't they do this dig a few weeks later, after the wheat had been harvested?
Scheduling. You can't suddenly change hotel bookings for a whole TV team, catering, equipment hire, the booking of guest experts etc on a whim.
Or harvest the wheat, even if it was a few days early!
@@susanmercurio1060 There's a window during which grain has to be harvested or it won't store properly - get mould etc. The farmer's livelihood comes before entertainment!
No doubt the farmer got more than market value for lost crops.
Channel 4 isn't short of a few quid, what they lost was minimal in comparison to the harvest anyway.
always love this.
Great to find the old team again with the new members,.Be Blessed thankyou
haha! That kid listening to Phil talk about the bath house - is probably 25 years old now and been on TV once - claim to fame - picking his nose!!!🤣
This was a fun find . Jenny 🇨🇦
Matt Williams. What a legend
Stewart is the nuts
All that wheat and they didn’t take the opportunity to make some crop circles before they flattened it all. 😂
Thanks.
King Anna and his son were both killed there in battle.
Thanks I will investigate
Was the boy named Sue? 🤔🤪
I truly have enjoyed discovering "Time Team" (since about 2017 or 18) and it is a subject connected to my areas of Degrees (Sociology, History, Journalism) I remain interested in these areas, have continued studies and research in the Sociology and History areas.
I've come to adore the various personalities of this group, even though I don't share their "Mainstream Academic" perspective, I value their learned skills.
"Mainstream Academia" follows a "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline", and this stands in opposition to the "Standards of Science and Research", which prohibits using a Theory as Fact, and as a "Tool of Comparison",, (in application to Research, Academia, Education).
The "Standards of Science and Research" were the center of my training and studies in University. My Advisor and also Instructor in a couple of Semesters, was Head of the Department of Sociology, and it was a Premium level College of Sociology within the University of Memphis.
This whom fully adhere to the Standards are known as "Authentic Academics", and I expect the "Mainstream Academics" will merge into the "Authentic Academic" group over the next 5+ years, as findings in DNA, and newer discoveries in SE Turkey, continue to emerge with amazing facts that are placing us in a far greater fact-based plane.
Once the momentum gets moving, it will be like Niagara Falls in it energies, and with abundant discoveries. That is most exciting to anticipate.
Best Thoughts and Wellbeing to all ...

"Those who" fully adhere to the Standards...
@@susanmercurio1060 Out of that whole essay this is your only comment?
The body of the comment is fascinating and gives much food for thought. Dismissing it with a terse comment about ONE grammatical mistake is churlish in the extreme.
@@philgallagher1 : Sorry, Grammar Police in action.
Thanks

Hi Guys, Your programs are very interesting. Just one question, what do you do with the holes you dig? Obviously you don't take them with you, but do you fill them in?
They record everything, draw it all, photos, video etc, then they do indeed fill in the holes. That's why you always see them very carefully saving the original turf. They put it back and you wouldn't know they had been there. The only time they don't is if it's regarded as a site of National Importance. Then they cover it up and get people like English Heritage in to decide what to do. They did an episode called "The Street of the Dead" where they found a row of Roman Mausoleums outside an existing Roman Fort dig. They simply handed them over to the team already digging the fort.
8:57 Dog biscuits..what he actually means is petrified dog shite...
The nose picker at 50:40 ish....😂
Raksha at nine minutes forty six 🙂
dead cool
the drawing of the church @ 13:37 almost matches a church in Willard, Ohio
must have been one of the few days with sunshine ?
Alright I'm traveling to the next village to do some trading, I'll be back in ten minutes..
Penny's back garden was unquestionably the loveliest.
Good grief. Is that what passes for clever in your world?
@@acommenter5184 did you actually see the episode? It was me who couldn't keep the words " penny's back garden " out of my mouth. Are you offended?
@@acommenter5184 imagine thinking the comment section of a RUclips video is a place for geniuses like you to chat in
A Time Team dig W/O any rain ?
how the heck does the guy dating the pottery at 10:25 know it is 10th century?
And to imagine how it looked like.
From just 1 small piece.
I think that is amazing skill.
btw onwards: 10:30 onwards or so: we don't know if it is a ditch.
Wait, you found a ditch?
An actual ditch?
Where is my phone. I need to call the King.
A ditch, Wow.
So not like an intact sphinx buried under some cornfield, but an actual ditch?
Wow.
"sir, sir, we found it"
"What have you found, Holmes? The Holy Grail"
"No sir, much more interesting: a ditch"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, We Got It"
CNN reports the Ditch has been found, arrested and on it's way to face justice.
"Mission accomplished"
"Yuuuuup, got me some gold nuggets here in my little pan.........burp, fart, yuuuuuuuuuuuuuup. Gonna pan me some more gold if i can."
A little later.
"WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO, me thinks me finds the big treasure. I'm gonna be a gazillionaire. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Billy, go buy us some steak, we gonna celebrate this.
Wait, what is this? Hmm...... BILLY!!!! HOLD YOUR HORSES!!!!!
What have we got here?
O man, is this it? IT seems like it. Yes, yes this is it.
BILLY!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, we found ourselves a ditch!!!!!!"
Don Corleone, look at this. Is it not a beautiful sight? It is, isn't it? It could be all yours, if you help me kill the man who mistreated my daughter.
Yes, yes, i see. Wonderful. I will make you a deal you can not refuse.
But, first you must tell me what this is, what am i looking at that could be mine?
Don Corleone, is it not obvious? A ditch!
All yours for the taking, to own, capici you italian schmuck?

24:23 Not Death Valley - Middle Earth
Babbling Britt !
0:55 Knights do not wear bloody short, come on man !
The best part is the kids....
Shall we dig together......No...
A bath house...you say....I'll just pick my nose...
Wouldn't the famer harvest the wheat first before it was flattened?
Probably too early in the growing cycle (or he may not have been ready to take it in). He did imply that somebody had spoken to him and that he had agreed to a certain amount of wastage for the good of the project. I saw another episode where they were digging a farmer's field and he said "I've got many years to plant in this field, but only one opportunity for the Time Team to come and dig it".
I'm sure they used to plan these digs in advance, perhaps a couple of years prior to them putting shovels in the ground. And don't forget, people INVITE them to dig, they don't just turn up on the day!
I cannot justify payment for you digging my crop if there is no crop there.
Its only 300 plus to get started
Robert temple pedigree , much stuff was sold or given to people in United States of artifacts ancient
Lol. Put these hardy hats on for the bbc
Long ago, to lengthen a vowel in writing, scribes just added a random vowel after it. The English “Cloister”, pronounced as oyster, is a diphthong. It should be pronounced more like the Dutch “Klooster”, pronounced as oh in oh dear. Just saying.
50:39 Really? The editor must have pissed himself laughing to leave this in.
Poor kid! He probably *still* gets kidded about it now, over a decade later. His mother probably died three times when she saw it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A young archeologist learning to dig for treasure!
@@BacktheBlue60 Thank you for giving me my first smile of the morning! At 03:40, grins are thin on the ground.
😂
Oh no ,we found a brick
Can somebody tell me why the trenches are watered?
Seem to remember that if you water,or damp the soil it can show up post holes,or different soil compaction..👍
Possibly it makes the trenches easier to dig on a particularly hot and dry day?
Keeps the traces of Anthrax or the Black Death that the skeletons in the trenches died of, from blowing into the neighbours' houses? 🤔😱
Dry soil appears as one uniform colour. If you dampen it down you get to see contrasts/features more easily.
So colours show up.
why not use Lidar?
Probably because it didn't exist when these shows were filmed.
@@deborahparham3783or cost way too much for them to afford to use.
15:45 Shes really going for it! lol
Quick thought... if you did more than 3 days you could find out more?
The producers think the added drama of the time limit makes the show more intriging but the purpose was to disturb the area for as little time and as little disruption of the property as possible. Get in and get out and leave little damage.
@@janice1131 The added drama - sure (hey this is television!) But for structures that have stood up to the ravages of time, I wouldn't have thought going from 3 days to one week would have changed the earth's orbital trajectory. It could also be argued that spending longer would allow for greater care to be taken with site preservation. Many programme's findings are uncertain or inconclusive. More time would add a degree of certainty. I know this isn't exactly a 'smash-and-grab' grave-robber deal, but it always feels hurried and that we are running out of time. Perhaps what they really mean is that they are running out of money.
@@mathmandrsam you are right. I have seen them appeal to the public to get funds to continue the program.
Backyard? Were these three finds in the US?
No,the UK, normally would say backgarden.😃
Backyard does get used in the UK, when the thing out the back isn't a garden. People in terraced houses often have backyards.
Abu is it always underground ? Is the world getting fatter?
As much as I like them, Ben, and Niel were definitely the lead fappers.
Can't beat time team. Digging for Britain not as good
lol. Bob the builder? LOL.
I can't stand Tony Robinson, he is such a rude man in real life. Which is a shame because I love this programme. Coming from York with it's rich history, I remember time team visiting.
Why do these fellas always do these shows when the crops are almost ready or well on the way? Can't they fit in their work after/before the farmers work?
Too many adds , 4 in 8 minutes, I’m out
I don’t see any ads.
Thank you, RUclips Premium.
I found something here. Boredom.
that would have to be one of the most ridiculous and annoying english accents 13:14😒
