I love this series! I'm a huge archaeology fan and history buff. This is such a wonderful, educational series. When it first came on the History channel, I always made sure I was at home with the snacks sitting in front of my TV ready to go when it came on and always watched the second run later in the evening. It's as if one cannot put a spade down anywhere in Britain without digging up something from another era. For me here in the Western US, the series is rich in history that we just don't have. Reijee Zaaijer, thank you for posting these programs! The only thing that would be icing on the Time Team cake would have been Tony Robinson doing a show as Baldrick!
Same reason I'm hooked. This series must have gone on for at least a couple decades. I've watched the cast age, but that's OK, they've done it with charm and good humor.
The iron blast furnace was a great episode... thank you,for such a great group of proffessional diggers that we can all call family. You make happiness from Heritage.
Fantastic program. I am originally from Western Pennsylvania. We have remnants of all those wonderful industrial age furnaces and forges. And memories of Carnegie and Frick, too.
I live in Utah in the US but I love this show. I'm of English/Welch/ Scottish decent and have loved learning so much about the history of Btitain from this show.
My ancestry is similar but also includes French and German, and I love the prehistoric, Anglo Saxon, Roman and middle ages episodes. Ah, I like them all! The amount history in England is astonishing. I want to go to the hardware store, buy a spade and start scraping the ground. My neighbors would wonder what I was doing to which I would reply, "I'm looking for a Roman mosaic floor!" Then they would know for sure that I've lost mind.
I am in love with this show and the people! can't stop watching these! good thing there's 15 years to be watched. I'll grow old and happy doing so though! just sayin
Where I live, in New Jersey, there are the remains of early Victorian age, bog iron towns dotted through out the Pine Barrens. Quite a few glass making towns from the same era, as well.
+Anon Nymous And the bog iron produced doesn't rust, it's effectively pre-oxidized. Trenton, NJ is famous for its iron railed marble steps. You can tell the modern steel replacements because they all have red stains around the bases.
Gosh, based on the good reviews about the usual wonderful interactions between the archaeologists on this one, I should give it a try. I have generally avoided all the ones about industrial work because I find the subject a snore. But I love those people so much!
I do believe I laughed more during this episode than any other TT. They had so much fun! Frances Pryor wasn't even annoying to me, and that is saying a LOT! I know some people have a problem with Stewart but the fact is, he's been right 99% of the time. I share his love for maps though, so maybe I'm biased! LOL Funniest part had to be Phil with his clogged hose though.... still laughing at that!
As i see it you/re either a Francis Prior person or a Phil Harding person. it was good to see them working together on this one! I personally like Phil and Stewart Ainsworth the most.
I love them both and Stewart. Francis used to be annoying with his incessant supposition that everything is ritualistic and religious... which has kinda become a standing joke by now in the show, but he's a lovely bloke, full of character and has an awesome ability to see positives in things most people view negatively.
While Time Team unquestionably experienced problems, particularly in its final years, this much-loved show was an astonishing success, propelling modern archaeology into the public conscious as never before. As Francis Pryor observed on his blog, in many ways the real question is ‘what went right?’
For me, it's gotta be Mick, Phil and Stewart - but I also adore Matt Williams - his cute grin and boyish enthusiasm along with being up for anything gets me every time.
@@conorleeson-davis6666, definitely Mick & Phil! Hmmm ... will Phil's trowel & hat make it into some museum somewhere? (He can keep his shorts, though!)
Many thanks to the posters who caught the errors between 6:00 and 7:30 in the description of steel vs. iron. It's an example of the last two seasons' shortcuts/budget cuts. Normally one would expect that the writing would be more accurate, and/or if the host mis-spoke, the scene would be re-shot. In the last couple of seasons, there are more of these errors. In season 17, episode 13, Tony said the Romans ground maize - total boo-boo, and no one caught it. Sad.
Keep in mind, we're talking pre industrial revolution. I did a little research, essentially what Tony said is right because it was experimentation with cast iron at that point.
I love TT and I watched all episodes, some even more than once. But what I keep thinking that it must be so frustrating to work on something for 3 days and when you finally get somewhere, you have to leave it and go home ...
It's a mindset shift ... some sites proceed for months or years, and others are over in days or hours. People in the profession know they will work on both types of sites during their careers. The Time Team premise from the beginning (worked out by Tim Taylor and Mick Aston) was to do "survey archaeology" in a brief time period, passing on any followup research (which often does occur) to established local institutions. A guy I know here in the U.S. works for an archaeo firm that provides the legally required supervision for certain construction projects -- recognizing human and cultural remains unearthed by heavy equipment operations. He _is_ frustrated at times that he can't follow up on interesting finds -- but he knows that at least he is ensuring that the revealed archaeology is being recognized and recorded. Sidenote: he is an avid flint knapper ...as is Phil Harding!
I grew up in Weirton, West Virginia, then a steel city. Before it had a name, in the 1700s, English settler Peter Tarr started an iron furnace business. Later, during the War of 1812, it produced cannon balls for the Lake Erie fleet. It's remains are the oldest standing structure in the city.
Further along the river where i lived there was a Roman fort called Vindomora, a bit further after that is a place called Shotley Bridge where they made famous swords, further up the hill is Consett, where there was a huge Iron works. Interesting how they linked an iron works near Newcastle to the slave trade, but in another episode forgot to mention that Francis Drake was king of slave trading and not really so great as they made out.
I live near a similar blast furnace dating from 1690’s with a well preserved engine house called “Rockley Furnace” I’d love time team to come and dig it all up! Its in much better condition than this one but is still over grown with parts lost to shrubbery.
I like all on the time team people with varying degrees but with Francis I feel so bad for him when the geophysics go wonky. Tony's smile and hint of mild sarcasm, Phil's laugh. .oh it is infectious, Stewart with his jaunts and seeing the way the land goes. The artists and their talent. The list of archeologists, excavators, machine operators and do so on just make this an enjoyable show.
@@shainemaine1268 he actually made me doubt myself for a bit there. Seems a shame to have an 'educational' program that essentially states that the concept of steel is the opposite of what it actually is. I know the show's about archeology rather than metallurgy, but someone should have caught that. If a show about metalworking would casually mention the bronze age came áfter the iron age, I'm pretty sure Tony would be annoyed.
iron is almost pure while steel has added elements, mainly coal to harden it, so steel is an alloy they are hammered the same way but steel is hammered and reheated multiple times more or purified and mixed by crucible meltingto exactly control the amount of coal added to the mix.
"Leat" was originally a word from the South West of England and was an artificial stream which supplied water usually to to an industrial process but sometimes to a remote(ish) habitation - a farm for instance. I grew up in Cornwall and it was a common word which applied to tin works.
Mostly clay. They did melt a bit though, you'd only get a few uses from a crucible pot before it'd be too weak to use. There would be someone on site making new ones full time
Thanks for posting. Interestingly, today, that doesn't work on Google Earth or Maps, but does on maps.bing.com. Just a bunch of trees, though. "Derwentcote Farm Cottage Forge Lane, Durham, NE17 7"
All the main crew have steady university jobs in different cities. Thus, the three days are a weekend with 1-day's leave of abscence from the workweek. Summer programs surely means less of a teaching load during the week.
The host stated fairly early in the program, that steel is a more pure form of iron. This is in error. Steel, in a simple form, is an alloy of carbon and iron. Furthermore, on crucible steel, carbon was added to iron bars, to produce steel in the melt. The fact that the resulting steel that was analyzed was at 1% carbon, shows good control for manufacturing quality tool steel for the times. They would not have used existing steel bars, as it would have thrown off the percentage of carbon in the end resulting steel. There was at the time, no reliable way to determine the amount of carbon in a steel bar produced by the cementation process. While I enjoy the series, they should do more study into areas they have little or no knowledge, as all of the above corrections are readily available in books at most libraries.
gfodale I caught that too when Tony said that. He's clearly not a man of industry....but then again neither am I! LOL I'm just surprised that nobody corrected him.
Love this series, thanks for the upload. Only thing i don't like is they have a small budget for 3 days.Seems people never learn from the past mistakes. this is an example from that with those 3 days budget. If you don't know your past, you still live in the dark ages, its that simple...
Well, at one time the city of Winchester was the capital of England! The area is basically rural but the farming has always been mixed. The 'cowboy' comment refers to an old English folk song called "The Cowboy and the Cockney". The 'Cowboy' in this song is a countryman rather than a townie. English accents are probably difficult for people unfamiliar with them - and even for those who are! Mick Aston came from an industrial area of the British Midlands and Tony Robinson from London. Does that help? Phil.
Phil Harding (the Time Team one, not my friend the mathematician, Doctor Phil Harding) lives in the city of Winchester in the County of Hampshire. Winchester was once the capital of England and it is about 30 miles from the South Coast and not quite in the West Country. He's an 'Ampshire 'Og. Hampshire is not an industrial county and much of it is very rural still. There is a lot of beautiful countryside. Hampshire is also home to much history (think of the New Forest) as well as several seaside resorts (Bournemouth is very genteel - and boring). Phil.
Dwight E Howell There's no evidence that they were found in a 'dank hole', only that they were a bit muddy. And as for being left, They'd just stuck a big digger and a load of people in the area. The parents aren't likely to stick around. The ground can often be a warm place to have eggs too as it acts as an insulator and snake eggs are susceptible to the elements too anyway. A bird seems much more likely due to the rarity of snakes in that region. As for the possibility of them belonging to a turtle, that's impossible.
holy shit! ... a 200 year old metal refining site! ... a woods that doesn't have a tree over 60 years old (by the looks of it)! ... wow! ... let's go jump a shark! ... by the way, Phil is one step away from where he really belongs ... analyzing the contents of septic tanks that are over 25 years old! FFS! LOL
+nyctreeman From a corn grinding mill to the birth of industrial steel production used to produce tools for use in the American colonies over a period of about 360 years is far from a shark jump. I guess your definition of archeology ends with what, the middle ages? Rome? Egypt? You would be lucky to clean the muck off Phil Harding's boots.
shame you're só annoyed that you're attacking the very people you're watching. Here's a tip: If you're watching a show with a cast you dislike, and subjects you aren't interested in, go watch something else. Saves aggro for yóu, and people around you.

the more pure iron becomes, the further from steel it becomes.

Birds don't bury their eggs in dank holes and leave them because if they do the eggs die.
