I love how Mick said they had done some great geophysics work, and they believed they could help with that rather than saying they could redo it with better tech. He's always positive in the way he presents his ideas to others. He always treats them with respect, acknowledging and validating their work, and offering to help his peers. THAT is a pure gentleman. RIP, Mick. I've come to love you and the team through finding and watching this series in 2020.

I am watching i n2023.But can and will second everything you said. I am watching TT several years now already. But there are still episodes that had - fallen through my radarscreen-. And while in no way demeaning the new Episodes, they still have most of the old TT together, i must say i am glad now that (SIR) Tony Robinson had rejoined them once more. And the new stuff they got from Dell Computers, why not make some advertising for them, is just amazing.
Sick in bed these last few days with the flu and living on soup, meds, and Time Team, the only show I can follow for long right now. I have watched every episode so many times I can see the action with my eyes closed and don't have to rewind when I fall asleep and wake. I really value that familiarity at times like these.
@@mamavswild Thankfully, it was the flu:) Glad to live in a small town right now where exposure is limited. I wish everyone else could feel that safe about it right now.
Glad to hear other people do the same thing when sick. Whenever I get sick,..I rewatch all the episodes. You can drift of and it is ok. And it makes everything just a little bit better.
I've been binging for the past year. Can't get enough of this show. And I am learning so much. This is the best team ever. The laughing and respect for each other, I love it. Great show. RIP Mick, Ian the driver, and Robin.
This show actually got me out walking the fields and victorian railway near my home,amazing the things you find and wonder about,time team best thing to have had on tv
Unfortunately, In Colorado there’s exactly CRAP. There’s Neolithic Native American history, but often those sites are controlled by the respective tribe and...while Neolithic has its moments, it’s not my favorite kind of archeology. Not a Roman ruin, Saxon burial, Iron Age round house to be found! Not even a Norman castle! 😀
And more often than not, at least in my part of the country, there’s simply not a lot of physical evidence left behind, other than pottery, arrowheads, middens, and the like. The pre-European people in my area just didn’t really build with stone, or other materials that might have left substantial remains.
This episode is my favorite. The pieces of the puzzle come together nicely, and the thrill of discovery is so apparent in their faces and voices. What a wonderful show.
Keith Jensen Thankfully the "Boo-Boo" phase of so called "reality" entertainment faded into the trash heap of history fast. Hopefully it was buried deep with a stake through it.
Having watched nearly every episode. This is right up there as one of my favorites. Exciting and educating. I wish they would have spent a month here! Thank you for sharing this wonderful episode!
With apologies to anyone named Hillary or Monica of course, who are, I am sure. far, oh so far from pigs! Absolutely NO implications intended. But we still maintain though that everything is better with bacon! Even bacon is better with bacon! No apologies for that!
Love Tony Robinson, firstly for Blackadder, and secondly for his love of archaeology and history. However I have a new hero. Phil rocks!!! I want to have a few pints with him.
I just watched this show and laughed so hard about Hillary and Monica the pigs. I got the joke instantly and thought it was hilarious. Thank you Tony for the joke. And thank you for the owners of the pigs. It was so funny I needed that laugh.
John and Phil thank you very much for the archaeology anthropology and having a great day today I really appreciate this you never know what you can find when you play in the dirt but hey man it's all educational I've been watching the time team for a long time and also Tony's explorers I have to say spot on lunch this is really top a stuff I've been watching you on a need for quite a long time and I do like archaeology anthropology I have been studying that for quite a long time myself I started ones probably about 4 years old all the way up now tell me about 57 I have to hand it to you you were a bunch of strong lads and lasses I have been studying archaeology and anthropology no if you can read through the lines my computer is giving me problems but I'm speaking with knowledge and archaeology anthropology I have been studying for quite some time like I said from 4 to 57 so I take it in Great consideration on how you guys are doing I do have to say that you are like Sherlock Holmes always finding some interesting case digging an understanding about past history is always wonderful as Sherlock Holmes it's a great mystery until you solve it a puzzle is worth solving if you can find the correct moves I do like seeing both the past kings and queens Ava greatlands and what past was really like it saddens me to hear about King Henry and how he lost it I did not understand about King Henry until great studies did find me the answer what a way to live it takes a while even though first hand on what you have until it's properly analyzed great things and great but always to find out what the king did in Egypt DNA great things oh man I'm going to have to get a new computer somehow we'd be able to just twist my words around here we go again and grant answers with DNA start of a DNA hair we go numb on Queen page all messed up my computer is I'm going to have to get something done about this as I was explaining about anthropology in anthropology archaeology here it goes again messing up I'm going to have to go to new page guys
I'm deeply reminded of my Mohawk ancestors by many facets of this episode..as soon as we became aware of steel and firearms and sailboats and even money, we were all over it..and we used every part of the animal just like the Iron Age Brits did..we didn't like pigs, though, because they ate all of our forest food, like chestnuts and mushrooms and strawberries...
At the time of the American Revolution, an Iroquois village would look no different from a colonial to the casual observers. The introduction of pigs was to follow English custom of letting the pigs out to feed upon the oak mast (acorns). I learned that from an English history class that I took in college. That practice has led to the destruction that feral pigs do upon the forests here and other areas like the Hawaiian Islands (Polynesian introduction).
Photographers rarely get "thanks" but showing the rainbow, and on previous show-the spider web aglisten- shows there is more to the person than showing dirt....
So that's what a British rainbow looks like, Impressive! Thank you GOD for the covenant; and thank you Time Team for showing one of GOD's natural creations. Absolutely beautiful to see.
@@thomaspatton4401 and yet, not thanking God for creating the man who filmed it for us, or for creating cameras and cinematography, to allow us to bear witness and give glory to Him...missing the point here just for some namedropping
Amazing site archaeology I delight in and have dug myself at my Grt Grandparents homestead. time team is very lovely esp Mick , Phil , John and Stewart.
The primary field is here: 51°17'07.5"N 2°20'10.5"W And the marks of the downhill trench are still visible to its south. But a couple of fields to the west are some very intriguing parch marks that I wish they'd have known about or dug. 51°17'10.3"N 2°20'26.4"W
Red Deer antler: also needles, combs, weaving tools, jewelry, buttons, primitive stone working tools (flint knapping). A friend of mine works bone and antler, makes all this sort of thing. That horse on the coin. One of the Celtic godesses was Epona, the Horse Goddess, similar to RIgantona of Gaul. Responsible for the ceremony of a "king" mating with a white mare: the "king" was mating with the Land
Ditto. She has a natural and sincere charm and warm personality. Like Mick, although an expert she's not pompous when she explains things on camera. She reminds me of the girl next door I paid very little attention to until it was too late.
I used to live in Wiltshire quite close to Bath, and then in South Wales. See that monsoonal rain? That’s why I now live in Portugal. Ugh. Just seeing them all soaked to the skin brings back Britain’s diabolical “summer” weather.
+Robert Braiden He is so often right that they must have loved seeing him get his comeuppance a bit. Everything that I've read about the behind-the-scenes production shows that the crew, in front of and behind the cameras, really liked and admired each other. On Raksha's website she interviews her old co-workers and always asks their favorite pranks and they're hilarious. (such as building a cardboard magnetometer and having it run over right in front of John Gater). Pranking is, I believe, a very important part of male social interaction. It basically says, "I know I can screw with you and you won't kick my ass for it."
At 34:23, they are in a pub drinking beer. Could anybody from England tell me what type Phil is drinking? Also in another episode, Phil asked for a "bitters", What type of Ale would bitters be?
+bigdave46148 When talking about a highly hopped ale it is "Bitter" singular, not plural. Bitters are something that you put in a cocktail. Therefore if in the episode that you are thinking of Phil said "Bitters" it meant that he was ordering more than one pint of bitter.
+TheSpikehere Thank you. I am not much of a beer or ale drinker, that is why I am asking. I would really like to know an actual name of what he is drinking so I could see if I could find it and try it.
+bigdave46148 Not knowing that particular pub myself, it is hard to know what he was actually drinking in this episode. But I think Phil's favourite brewery is called Hop Back. It is based in the county of Wiltshire. Which is where Wessex Archaeology has it's HQ.
Yes, I'd like to see that as well! There seemed to be a big rectangular structure behind the curved iron-age wall that was roughly in the right direction that the gatehouse was pointing at, but the team didn't seem interested in digging there. Was there reason to believe it was something else, or did they make the decision to not investigate it due to time constraints?
Largest misconception: NO Roman influence until AFTER 43a.d. 'Roman conquest'. Roman influence far exceeded that by simple traders. Not only materials, but also ideas and 'modern' contructs... Roma est occupatio
But we have to remember that history is written by the victors. What little history we know from the time is written by Roman sources: Tacitus and Dio Cassius were hardly likely to write from the position of the British. The Roman attitude towards the British is clear in what happened to Boudica's family. They even referred to the British (in writing) as 'brittuncuili', a dismissive (and in modern terms) racist description. I know we British don't exactly have an untarnished history, but don't think of the Romans as white knights coming to rescue others from barbarism. They were brutal asset-strippers, as well as builders of roads. Most of our attitudes to the Romans are based on 19th century British attitudes that saw the British Empire as the natural successor of the Roman: look how well that turned out...
What word did the young man say to Phil in the scene at 30:56 or so regarding an Iron Age coin and . . . Dubonic? Eponic? Can't be bubonic. it's clearly a term with which I'm unfamiliar. I'm betting someone knows.
Legend has it on a quiet day you can hear a wakka wakka wakka sound emanating softly from the enclosure ditch, broken occasionally by bewewewewum blip-blip.
Anyone notice Matt at 40 minutes in is in white pants and not dirty. How the hell does that happen. See if I walk out side 2 feet in white I am dirty, and I am a gramma. LOL either nice set up for the scene, or Matt is the cleanest dirt digger EVER.
probably khaki and very faded rather than white - maybe everything else he had for the three days was already wet and muddy - having said that - wouldn't matter what you wore on a dig - it would be dirty by the time "the credits rolled" 🙄🤔
What did the locals think of the new villas? They said intimidated... I disagree. Anyone today that's living in an established town with certain architecture will think some fancy modern all glass and steel architecture being erected in their town would be an eyesore, doesn't look good compared to their old fashioned clapboard siding houses that's been around through living memory. They probably thought the villa was just ugly at first. Then the big monumental buildings? wonder and amazement is the most likely feelings, just like taking a country bumkin who has never seen a building that's more than 2 stories tall feels when going to a big city for the first time.
It's my understanding that the Brits interacted with the Romans, trading with them for some time before the accepted date of the conquest, so there is no reason that they could not have learned more about materials and building techniques, etc, in the century before. I'm thinking of the concept of doors that pivoted, for example, or methods for better firing of pottery.
I love Phil for his British country accent & not one sign of classist bullying' as all the otehr team but not so much like for Tony. His not so funny british jabs, reminds me of mum's cutting critiques & phrases that hurt.
*Leda Cedar* That was his purpose on this programme, a sort of *_Devil's Advocate_* to get the archæologists to explain. As a good amateur archæologist himself and a long-standing friend of *Mick Aston* he would have understood the explanations.
It was only 3 days because they all had regular jobs. Professors etc. The format was set by Mick and Tim Taylor, the series producer. It was only supposed to be evaluation archaeology, not complete digs. If they found a site with potential then an official dig might be started by someone else. (and often was)
Digging is a quite slow process, we all know that and seems like Sherlock´s style. That´s also a good reason to show us from time to time at least, the real final result. Sorry we are not able to see it-
I love how Mick said they had done some great geophysics work, and they believed they could help with that rather than saying they could redo it with better tech. He's always positive in the way he presents his ideas to others. He always treats them with respect, acknowledging and validating their work, and offering to help his peers. THAT is a pure gentleman.

I love to hear her speak, she pronounces words just a bit different than everyone else around her.
Typical Bath weather!!
I was there on a 2 sunny days 😊
44:00 That is not a mystery. Those two neighbourse had enough of each other and they built that wall so not to see the other.
Anyone notice Matt at 40 minutes in is in white pants and not dirty. How the hell does that happen. See if I walk out side 2 feet in white I am dirty, and I am a gramma. LOL either nice set up for the scene, or Matt is the cleanest dirt digger EVER.
probably khaki and very faded rather than white - maybe everything else he had for the three days was already wet and muddy - having said that - wouldn't matter what you wore on a dig - it would be dirty by the time "the credits rolled" 🙄🤔
Good Time taem
Hilary and Monica wouldn't mind digging in that mud.
❤️
When Phil opens his 'Phil's Box' is it like that scene from"Pulp Fiction'?
What did the locals think of the new villas? They said intimidated... I disagree. Anyone today that's living in an established town with certain architecture will think some fancy modern all glass and steel architecture being erected in their town would be an eyesore, doesn't look good compared to their old fashioned clapboard siding houses that's been around through living memory. They probably thought the villa was just ugly at first. Then the big monumental buildings? wonder and amazement is the most likely feelings, just like taking a country bumkin who has never seen a building that's more than 2 stories tall feels when going to a big city for the first time.
The names of the two pigs, Hillary and Monica? As in Clinton and Lewinski? I hope so cause that's funny.
Unlikely on a British farm, we don't care that much.
Was there a British sit-com with characters using those names?
care or not it was big news.
no

It's my understanding that the Brits interacted with the Romans, trading with them for some time before the accepted date of the conquest, so there is no reason that they could not have learned more about materials and building techniques, etc, in the century before. I'm thinking of the concept of doors that pivoted, for example, or methods for better firing of pottery.
The stranglers Yeee
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Need I say more?
I love Phil for his British country accent & not one sign of classist bullying' as all the otehr team but not so much like for Tony. His not so funny british jabs, reminds me of mum's cutting critiques & phrases that hurt.
*Leda Cedar*
That was his purpose on this programme, a sort of *_Devil's Advocate_* to get the archæologists to explain. As a good amateur archæologist himself and a long-standing friend of *Mick Aston* he would have understood the explanations.
well,Mick was from the Black Country(Brummie accent,)Stuart has a Yorkshire accent,so where is the snobbish in that?
Hillary and Monica 😂 That's funny shit.
Do these guys really have only three days?
I often wondered that myself. I think they go on for a few more days.
It was only 3 days because they all had regular jobs. Professors etc. The format was set by Mick and Tim Taylor, the series producer. It was only supposed to be evaluation archaeology, not complete digs. If they found a site with potential then an official dig might be started by someone else. (and often was)
Roman culture wasn't better than the British culture, it was just different.
What would Phil do if there was no beer?
Probably weep uncontrollably hugging his shovel.
Michelle Twidwell im crying XD
he'd brew some.
He would croy. Goddaah!
Search the neighborhood for anything stronger 😁😁
"Hillary" and "Monica"? As in Hillary Clinton and Monica Lewinski? Seems to be appropriate naming, imho.
Has it ever not rained on a Time Team episode?
You can see most every episode has rain, they just ignore it and keep going.
Digging is a quite slow process, we all know that and seems like Sherlock´s style. That´s also a good reason to show us from time to time at least, the real final result. Sorry we are not able to see it-
That didn't look like a piece of wheat it looked like a rune on that coin.
the angle on this group in the pub look like Phil as Tin Man, Mick as the Lion, does anyone else see that?
Hilary and Monica!
