Are the star maps on a stone disk intentional or simply co-incidental? Let us know what you think!
I suspect star maps are never coincidental.
😉
I can see no reason to doubt that somebody in ancient times might make an image of the night sky. Different constellations appear at different times of year; and would be important for agricultural timing. The Nasca lines in Peru seem to be just such a calendar. If you painted the stone black except for the marks, the indentations would look like stars. So, when this pattern of stars appears in the sky, it is time to plant, and this constellation means that it is harvest time, etc.
If they are constellations, there appears to be no correlation between them (i.e. alignment.) However, perhaps the unidentified mark is simply the Moon?
I feel we modern humans can't possibly know the intention of the carver. It could be a star chart or someone testing out a new chisel.
I'm gobsmacked by Mark Corneys' passing. He always was very passionate when appearing on Time Team.
Just discovered Time Team last year and fell in love with all, not realizing it's been 30 years! That means I was 20 when they originally aired and they were my age now. It seems like no time at all....life is truly too short!
He made some of the funniest comments. Made me smile. R.I.P. Mark.
So sad to hear of Mark’s passing. He was always worth listening to (so knowledgeable) if only for the smooth melody of his voice.
I cant put a face to his name but i wind out who he is when i watch the video👍
So sad to hear this. He added so much to their Roman digs especially.
I love John Gater! And I would love to see more on the ancient chapels built on tidal islands. Thank you for this monthly updates! Love them.
HUGE thanks to Dani and all who were featured in this, yet another fantastic episode. My condolences to Mark Carney's family & many friends around the globe. I'm in Canada, but even I knew of Mark's wonderful personality & work via Time Team.💔
Bit of a shock to hear of Mark Corney's passing. He just grabbed you when he was on camera. Interesting, funny, knowledgeable and ill always remember when an early roman knife, cleverly changed into, half a pair of scissors. Classic 😊 RIP. lovely man.
A ROMAN KNIFE turned into a pair of SCISSORS HAHA😂 I'll have to watch that he must of got bantered by the team for a while😅
RIP Mark Corney
Condolences and love to Mark's family and loved ones.
So sorry to hear about the passing of Mark Corney. He will be missed by all Time Team fans. My condolences to his family and friends.
Your show keeps getting better. I love how the high-tech world is updating us about where the original settlements were. I teach 11-year-olds about ancient history. Every day I wonder how much has changed since my sources were written. I just updated that Otzi, the Iceman, was dark-skinned.I love how you showed the South American LIDAR results; the news carried the headlines without the pictures. It's so much better with an archaeologist telling the stories.
Thanks
It’s easy to get confused, darker of skin doesn’t mean dark skin. “Anatolian” heritage I’d definitely not call dark skin. He most likely looked like an early proto italian, which he is.
RIP Mark.
Sad to hear he passed away, I always enjoyed when he was participating, as others have said, passionate, funny, knowledgeable, I loved the Friars Wash episode, all going at it.
RIP Mark Corney
I wish You had a Show called Corney Idea's
You ARE very Entertaining Educating Me on Ancient Geography
Thanks Bud
Peace OOT Eh everybody
Rest in Peace Mark. I always enjoyed your knowledge and enthusiasm. condolences to the family and friends.
Another great show Dani. I had heard about Mark's passing a week or so ago, he will certainly be missed. He had that captivating voice, quick wit and sense of humor, coupled with so much knowledge. Condolences to his family. Thanks for the memories Mark.
Thanks for another great update! So very sorry to hear of Mark Corney’s passing. He was always one of my favorites. So knowledgeable, down to earth, and enthusiastic. I know he’ll be greatly missed.
Happy birthday Time Team! Thanks for 30 glorious years of archeology. I’ve learned so much from this program and it has helped me to talk knowledgeably with my soon to be DIL who is an archeologist. Hugs to all of you!
It is soo good that you are talking about Scotland and our Islands.
The brilliant John Gater looks like he is in his element up there, such wonder finds too.
Thanks Time Team.
Being honest, I used to think that Time Team was England-centric, but I am pleased that "Britain" does still mean 4 countries.
I love watching these News updates.
Thank you Dani Wootton and team.👏
Mark was one of my favorites on the show when he appeared. You could see the passion and love for his field every single time. Not to mention he had a very unique voice in my opinion. He will be missed dearly but his legacy will live on for many many years. ...I was not expecting to hear that he had passed...still shocked.
I hope to someday be able to see Britian. John Gater still has it after all these years and looks to not be slowing down! Rock on!
It does resemble something man made but to be a star map...I can definitely see it 😊. Humans do things sometimes and we have no idea the reason or what it could be, but I'd like to believe this could be a star map for sure. And South America has some amazing archeology! So much of which is still hidden I think. Looking forward to yet another amazing year of Time Team! Cheers from the USA, west Tennessee to be precise.
i think that this is the first time i have ever seen a specific geophysicist this relaxed and happy. now i want to go there too.
I just watched my first episode of Time Team and loved it. As a young University of Minnesota student during the 70's I majored in Archaeology and I did most of my field work in Canada. Thank you for presenting an intelligent look at the Archaeology of another part of the world. Someday I hope to see some of these sites.
LIDAR really has been a game changer for Central and South American archeology. Every time a new survey comes out it radically alters what we know.
Love it all, but no informed opinio to share. Just bloody wonderful & stunning folks. Thank you!
So sad about Mark’s passing. I always enjoyed his expert information and congenial demeanor 😢…
John Gater has stopped even trying to seem cynical. His joy at being back to Time Team and all things archaeological 17:47 is infectious. His feature so makes me want to get back to Britain (from the USA) and spend all my time going to historic sites. There would be enough glorious wonders for many lifetimes. I am so sorry to hear of Mark Corney’s passing. He was, and always will be, wonderful in Time Team.
What would you like to see more of on Time Team News? Let us know below!
Follow-ups on previous sites, obvs!
Anything Gobekli Tepe!
Yes!@@tinyclangerusa
i may be strange but i am always fascinated by discoveries of things that should no longer exist simply because of their material. what i mean is that first story about the small treasure horde found on the Shetland island, the treasure is amazing and beautiful, but i would be EVERY bit as excited to see the intact wooden box it was found in. is there somewhere i might see pictures of the treasure as well as the box somewhere? was the box itself even saved? how about the slab it was under?
there is this beautiful photo i have always been fascinated by of the unbroken seal to the Tomb of Tutankhamun, it is just a rope knot tied around the doors with an unbroken i believe mud seal similar to a wax seal. this is just a rope knot and pressed mud seal with writing in it, but it is over three thousand and two hundred years old and still sitting there unbroken at the time. that is AMAZING and beautiful to me, and i feel the same way thinking about the intact wooden box these artifacts were found in. often those ropes or this bit of wood boards would easily have long rotted away and vanished from history, and us getting to see them today in out lifetime is a wonderful treasure.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Mark Corney. I loved every episode he was in. He really knew his Romans.
I am devastated to learn of the passing of Mark Corney. He was always a wonderful addition to the Time Team regulars. I lived in the UK first back in the late 70s to mid 80s and again from 1995 to 2012. My first 10 or so years got me interested in archeology as I spent all of my weekends and holidays in museums and traveling to archaeological sites across most of the UK. My next 17 years living in the UK was every week watching Time Team and taking my holidays traveling to archaeological site I had missed my first go around and a few that were featured on Time Team. As for the silver cone shaped item, wasn't salt and sugar back in the day compressed into cones for easy transport? So couldn't a rich merchant, aristocrat or noble who could afford such expensive goods have also had such beautiful items crafted to keep them safe as well as for their display on a banquet table?
Star-disc looks bonafide to me.
Condolences and prayers for Mark's family.
Another great presentation! Love our Time Team’s new videos. A new Great Team!
16:03 That LIDAR image is utterly amazing.
I really enjoy these news segments. Thanks so much for helping us all keep up.
Sad to hear about Mark Corney. Always enjoyed listening to him on TT.
Love these news bits
Cheers to Mark!
🥃
r.i.p. mark always enjoyed you on the show as part of the team my favorite moment was in turkdean revisited when you dropped the coin on camera with phil tony and mick classic moment in time team history you guys never missed a beat just laughed and went on like it never happened just shows how much the cast gelled together
The cup like objects reminds me vaguely of either an incense burner, or a candle holder and snuffer.
The stone disk sky map theory is plausible but inconclusive. I love the news you bring.
GUYS & GALS..What is your favourite TIME EPISODE of all time and what country are you watching this video from?? Thanks TIME TEAM FAMILY your the best 😀👍
Thank you so very much for all the interesting archeological discovers you share with us. Much appreciated!
Our condolences to the family and friends of Mark Corney.
Will he not be thrilled with so many questions being answered, as he and all the previous generations return in the resurrection that William Tyndale championed?
Love your channel and digs very much - we should have a team like you in Germany as well!
Another great show, thank you! Any chance you could put a scale into your artists' renderings? I'd love to play the guessing game but I've no idea whether the cloche-like silver thing is the size of a thimble or of a helmet.
11:10 That geophys that Cameron has got done is cris-crossed with post-holes lines and arc-backed keyhole enclosures. Fascinating readout.
That round thimble looking thing, looks identical to a christening present my husband received in 1944. His was made to resemble a bee hive. The idea would have been taken from folklore. How many blessings there are in a brew hive. Hard work, dedication, loyalty, all those old wonderful values. His was a savings box with a slit in the bottom. The key is long lost.
RIP Mark 😢. One of the best memories of you on Time Team was when you were showing the coin to the camera and dropped it on the ground and they had to bring over a metal detector to find it. Your sense of humour was evident even then. Condolences to your family and friends
I would like to see Time Team investigate Cynuit Hill Fort near Cannington, Bridgwater, UK. It was where Ubba Ragnarson was defeated in 878. Arx Cynuit was the hill fort of Earl Odda, a leader under King Alfred.
Dani is just so cute! 🥰 It has to be said.. 😉
loving seeing John so passionate
Thank you Dani and the rest of the team. The updates are always interesting, especially news of new discoveries in different parts of the world. Please pass on condolences to Mark Corney's family
RIP Mark 😢
time team mark as a group i loved your input without you i may of never found anything of any importance i brought a metal detector and i watched good peoples great advice made it possible for a common kid to find dreams RIP mate
Love your obvious excitement Dani. Thanks.
I cant wait to hear more about the Amazon settlements as the work progresses!
Was the walruss referring to Diocletian when he spoke of " cabbages and kings"?
Brilliant idea - I’ll bet you are right!
I think the tings you discover are of natonal importance in the understanding who we are and where we came from.
The state should pay
There's a new phrase;
"I Want To Retire Like Diocletian"
My condolences to Mark and his family, yes, I still see him in the classics, jolly man. sorry to hear that.
Sad to hear about Mark. Always enjoyed his input on the old shows. Condolences to his family.
What a huge loss to everyone with the lossof Mark!! My heart and prayers are with his family and friends!!😪💔🙏💖🪶💞✨️💜
So sad to here about Mark's passing he was one of my favorite experts on time team OG. I hope he gets all is questions answered in the by and by, curiosity truly is a wonderful human trait.
Love world news
Mark Corney's passing is truly tragic. His memory will always be a blessing. My husband, Alex, and I send our condolences to his family and friends.
So many fascinating discoveries!
A wonderful edition, thank you so much, Dani and others. Always a delight to follow John Gater and listen to his entertaining commentary. Great to see the contributions of the next generation of archaeologists. Condolences on the death of Mark Corney, another valuable member lost.
Thanks for a great show and chat! Will definitely be watching in the future. Glad my sister told me about you all! And thanks Medieval LadyBird for sticking up for me in the chat! Lol The midwest has lots of good geophysics, I swear! Lol.
I once walked in Maiden Castle with Mark many years ago and it was one of the most fascinating afternoons I can remember. I'm sorry to hear he is with the Emperors now.
Gorgeous Pictish metalwork. The mystery item is pretty obviously an early bundt tin.
Been watching you for awhile in Wyoming & your convincing voice tone made me subscribe. Love the history, Thankyou! John & Amy(woof)
When displaying images of artifacts it would be nice if a metric scale were included. The artifact in question from Shetland Island could be a thimble, a dish cover or a helmet. Without a scale how can anyone start to guess at its purpose?
when you mentioned "back in 1994" I was sitting here going " that wasn't that long ago...." followed by "oh gosh, yes, yes it was" But that's one of the wonderful things about archeology, there's never an end of new things to learn and discover.
Watched all the way through and only have had to pick the cat up and put her onto the floor about twenty times. A record low number. I really ought to log into Patreon now and again to catch up. More Time Team News gets a thumbs up.
To 1 hell of a good man RIP Mark I will miss him most respectfully yours
That South American lidar stuff is stunning
So sad to hear about Mark Corney; I`ve been a Time Team fan for decades and the people on the team seem like actual acquaintances.
I wonder if you could raise the concern about damage to unprotected sites of antiquity? E.G. Back in 2012 I took my late (American archaeologist) wife to see Fernworthy stone circle on Dartmoor. A few years ago I revisited it to find someone had used the surrounding burial mounds as hills for trial biking. This had resulted in significant damage to the mounds. - which also begs the question, have these mounds been excavated, and what can be done to deal with these sacrilegious acts?
RIP.Mark Corney.
I am so sorry to hear about Mark Corney’s passing. I always enjoyed his input on the Roman episodes.
Really sad to hear about Mark, like Mick he was one of my favourite personalities on the show and a great loss. RIP
The St Ninnian's Isle miniature cupola's, with base plates, may be for essence storage. For example, the distillation of various flora to produce essential oil's to use as a tincture. Possibly for blessing in a religious context.
I’m not sure what that little metal cone like object is sitting on another dish not sure how tall it is but if it was at least four or 5 inches tall, I’d probably keep butter in it
I was amazed to see a site associated with Saint Ninian as far north as the Shetlands. I wonder how that happened, since it's hard to imagine that he ever came ther himself. I think the mystery objects are probably pattens (discos) for eucharistic bread, with covers.
Great!
Has St. Ninian’s ever received the full Geophys treatment? Is LOVE to see that!
I was at St Ninian’s in 2018. It was absolutely marvelous!
Hope to hear on here about the new "Cleopatra" tunnel found in Egypt just recently
Fabulous stuff ☺ ♥.
FANTASTIC 😂❤ Do you think that parting the sea might have a new meaning after the first story......😮
I'm sorry to hear of Mark Corney's passing. Those are all cool discoveries. Thank you.
I'm soo happy that I bought in to your Pateron!
Condolences to Mark's family. Thank you for these monthly updates, they are great fun to watch and educational.
- seems to me that Chapel would have to be Pictish in origin, for a number of reasons, not the least of which is their desire to honor the power of the natural world.
- meant to hold the ashes of a certain kind of tree.
- seems like certain constellations have held some importance to peoples throughout history, recorded and perhaps not recorded history. We tend to forget what the night sky would have looked like before light pollution as well as what conclusions or ponderings our ancestors may have had or felt... we certainly forget, constantly, that they were as smart as us and were very unencumbered by modern distractions.
The silver cone shape thingies may be sugar loaf keepers.
I do have a Mark Corney story. He interviewed me when I proposed an adult education course at Bristol University exploring Bristol during the blitz. He looked very disappointed. 'World War II?' he said ruefully, 'Nothing interesting has happened since 1150!'
RIP Mark.
Please visit Norway, you can do plenty of digs here. Lots of treasure to be found here from Viking times and beyond!
Can your graphic artist make bodies of water look less like land mass? It takes a few seconds for our eyes to figure which is which.
Ha ha! I thought it was just me!
Another great report. Thank you! Could you please include something next time on the iron age forge recently discovered at the Whittenham Clumps where Time Team did a previous dig?
❤
Yay!!!! Just what i need today!!!😊
Any day will do.
scale matters!
I think depending on the size they were meant to go on top of a candle to collect soot for writing with. The flame can come through the bottom piece and the small hole allows for some air to let the wick burn but just enough so it smoulders and creates more soot.
In considering whether or not that disk is a star map did they process the relative star positions for several thousand years of proper motion? Your illustrations showed the current appearance of the constellations but not what they would have looked like in the iron age.
Small plate and cup for communion???
