    I like the way they narrate with conversations. We are not being talked at or lectured to, it feels like they are making us part of the conversation. Love this show and have seen them each multiple times.

    I luv Phil. Always have. His enthusiasm for his craft and his professionalism. Like any good archaeologist he does not jump to conclusions but can admit “I don’t know..” but with a love of his job continues to dig for the full picture. No massive ego to feed.

    I've watched oh maybe 50 episodes of Time Team in the year since I discovered it. I don't know where this is in the order of the episodes from old to the end of the series in the early 2000s, and I've seen Phil Harding excited, but I have never seen him so excited that he's stuttering! Flint is certainly his first love, but how many times in your archaeologist life are you the first to discover a Roman Road and settlement no one knew was there! That was a career bump in his life for sure! ❤️😁 I love me some Phil!

    • @moorek1967
      @moorek1967 2 года назад

      That is because no scientist in America would be featured less than "good looking and charming". American scientists are about looks and money, not actual science. That is why when they say "97% of scientists concur" really means those scientists just agreed to agree and get paid then move on to the next trend.
      Three years ago the scientific community could define what a woman is, now they just don't know. And how did that happen? Well, people really need to question why they believe the same scientists about climate change but don't know what a woman is and saying men can have babies.
      American scientists are not scientists, they are media darlings. Just ask Todd Disotell.

      Ran for about 20 years, then they tried to freshen it up with new faces, think there was concern a bunch of old dudes wasn't modern enough. Anyway, it was canned not long after, then Mick died shortly after that (RIP), and in 2021 the show's illustrator, the phenomenally talented Victor Ambrus, also passed.

      Australia has a short European archaeological record but has a deep indigenous record. I had the pleasure of attending a talk by the late John Mulvaney and would recommend reading his book "A Prehistory of Australian". It opened my eyes to how much the late comers to this country have often disregarded what came before.

      Interestingly, Tony never says "I have a cunning plan." on TT. Must have been a deliberate editorial decision not to include Black Adder references, because I cannot imagine that he didn't say it occasionally. I'm also surprised that Tony never did the costume thing, especially when other TT members did so.

      Some Europeans when using the word "corn" employ it as a catch-all phrase for any type of grain or cereal-crop like oats, barley, wheat, rye, sorghum, etc. The Romans certainly had experience with those crops, and that's most likely what the Time Team is referring to when they say "corn".

    That "ceremonial spear head" looks like the iron shaft of a Roman pilum to me. Each Legionary carried two of them. The business end isn't hollow and they don't have the broad leaf shape most people picture a spear to have. It's got an arrow shaped small point designed to pierce shields and light armour. The iron part is connected to the throwing wooden shaft with a couple of bolts or pins.

    Time Team is seriously great!
    I do wonder why no reference to the goddess of the horses--Epona was the Celtic goddess related to the horse. TT has excavated Celtic coins with horses on them--another example of the reference to Epona. See also the White Horse of Uffington.

    My theory is the romans played 2 up in long grass a lot which leads me to believe that romans originally came from Australia where this coin tossing game was very popular with ww1 soldiers.

    Blaming the diggers.... come on, Tony. You dug it up yourself and had a helping. You'da been better off opening it up and spilling some out and sharing it. Libations are meant to be shared after all. Don't believe me? Ask Bacchius.

    Of all these findings, where did all the buildings go? And then there is all the earth which has deposited on top of it all. Very interesting.

      only the foundations would have been made of stone, whereas the wooden walls and roofs would have burned and rotten away over time. And any good stones from the bases got "robbed out" and recycled for later construction elsewhere.

    Not sure where the old Roman Road is ? That’s what happens when you don’t ask Stuart.

    I always wonder why when they want to use a metal detector that have a local do it and don’t have their own?
