- Season 17 Episode 13: Rooting for the Romans
An eagle-eyed forest ranger spotted bits of Roman building poking out from the forest floor in Cambridgeshire's Bedford Purlieus Wood.
Join the Time Team for another dig into Britain's history.
#TimeTeam
Time Team is a British TV series following specialists who dig deep to uncover as much as they can about Britain's archaeology and history.
I don't know who I am, I don’t know why I'm here, All I know is that I must watch every Time Team episode ever made.
Also, search YT for Time Signs.
Another archeology show by Phil and Mick, before Time team.
You are from the Monkey Island and you are the nemesis of one Captain Le Chuck.
Yes
Its not bad tv you could do allot worse lol
Me too. I'm addicted
I love watching Tony and Phil take the mickey out of each other. . They clearly have a dear friendship and enjoy riling each other up. It also shows that they don't hesitate to call each other out on their BS when needed.... Or not needed as the case may be! 😁😂
Phil and Mick giggling over the wall at 2:28 is too precious for words.
I do not know why... but it is so therapeutical and good to watch Time Team... Thank you!
And I do not understand why 44 people did not like it?! What is here not to like, and love? ... or at least respect all the work?
It's just proof that 44 people were born bereft of a soul.
Their loss does not affect our appreciation.
I really miss Time Team, never missed an episode growing up, it instilled such a passion for history and archeology in me. Thank you so much for uploading these to RUclips. :)
GillyBeanDances; me too, I wish we had something similar back on TV again - I was gutted when Mike Aston passed away ...
I'm just glad I discovered it 15, 20 years after the fact. We had very little like this here in the "colonies." What little archeology programs we had was mostly Egyptian. Which is cool as well... but nothing like Britain. Seems you sink a spade in the ground ANYwhere and you might find Roman, Anglo-Saxon. Iron Age Bronze Age Stone Age ANYTHING!
@@if66was99 Pretty much anywhere as long as it's not a mountain. 😉 Try this episode of *TT.* ruclips.net/video/etJ46hXAEtU/видео.html
@@kenrickfearn1448 I cried like a baby when I heard the news. He was so wonderful
Well, they ran out of lumps and bumps, so what can you do?
I found this channel about a week ago, and must admit that I'm hooked. In today's world, it's easy to forget that you can literally build or make ANYTHING with enough time. It's easy to forget that you don't need a kiln to make some pottery, and you don't need super special tools to hew some stone - they started with nothing & built our current world.
What I like most about this channel is it reminds me that I can do anything; all it takes is time. 😍😍
That piece of painted plaster at 39:52 gave me goosebumps. To think, someone crafted that 2000 years ago, and has survived so well. I can understand the desire to seek out and discover these sites.
I own a small samian ware dish and Roman coins. Apart from the fact the dish was broken - probably dropped - it is almost like new. 1st century.
Another great episode. Nice to see Helen Geake again. She's so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. And always has a lovely haircut. LL 🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦
Lol of course having a lovely haircut helps with archeology. She has been proven a number if times to be wrong and also called out about it.
@@katerinakemp5701 Being wrong, as Einstein said, proves you have not been squandering your life doing nothing. I love her work, hadn't noticed her coif.
I Avidly watched Time Team back in the day, along with my Children. Now I am consuming it again. I find it is soothing as well as interesting. I often put an episode on to fall to sleep to. It’s the scraping of the trowels!
Loving the hi res uploads
I love this show! I only discovered it last year. 🇺🇸
This was a phenomenal episode and I’m so relieved to see a site not degraded by plowing for once! Really illustrates the richness and diversity of historic sites in England as well as how easy they are to excavate, study, and protect if necessary. There’s no excuse why sites like this aren’t being evaluated and assessed at least to the level that time team does, so ensure the artifacts aren’t lost to nature or looters, forever… or developed on top of. I’d love to have an apartment block with Roman ruins in the park nearby. Rome and cities around Italy have demonstrated how to strike a balance like this, with modern ppl living next to sites large and small as well as a stray fountain or mausoleum etc. and there’s no reason why developers can’t incorporate archaeology into their planned communities/complexes instead of putting archaeologists on a short timeline to discover and record sites before being built right on top of (if they even report finds while carrying out construction). There’s a million ways to incorporate protected areas into architectural designs and modern life, and I love going to hotels and restaurants around Europe that are built around old stone walls and columns or that feature plexiglass floors that show historical features below ground level. And a hidden courtyard with stone monoliths must be desirable to anyone w/ taste…Office buildings and banks and the like can do something similar to what I’ve described so there’s really no excuse. It also makes for added tourist attraction to the area and increased desire for locals bc everyone appreciates a nice park, as they’d have to appreciate one with Roman and Iron Age and medieval ruins scattered about even more- right?!
I know I’m preaching to the choir, I just hate seeing ppl comment that there can’t be development AND protection of most of the historic locations/archaeological sites of importance around GB.
Understand your frustration. The lack of knowledge of history and appreciation of it breeds contempt for anything except profit.
Phil's birthday is this Saturday, the 25th of January, 1950 to 2020...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PHIL!!!
From a California USA fan. Who loves to dig for rocks...
Cynthia Scott Happy Birthday, Phil!
Wow, didn't know it until I saw this. Happy Birthday Phil!
Phil, Happy Birthday from another Californian!
Happy birthday Phil from Donna in New Hampshire, USA. Love watching your great adventures ...making history alive.
i was born on this day 25.1.1954 happy birthday phil
I absolutely love this channel. I also love the comradeship between everyone, makes me wish it were like that everywhere lol.
The closing of this was beautiful. Nature will always win.
This is awesome. This is the kind of stuff History channel should show
This show is the best Quarantine medicine.
I love the chemistry between everyone... 😊
I love the little get-togethers they have at a pub, or little parties even in the fields.
Time team, I dig this show.👍
I see what you did there! :p Good one!
I love this show thank you for uploading it!
I totally get that this show is supposed to be only about the archaeology but I would watch an hour of Tony and Phil arguing too. 😁
I love when Tony and Phil "argue," they're like an old married couple.
Like old friends.
A married couple is quite a different thing, no matter how much the alternative crowd tries to project that on others.

Keep the high quality uploads coming
Ian the equipment operator is probably the smartest one. He's always so quiet and my parents always used to say "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." I would like to know more about what Ian thinks about all these sites.
Ian is also a field archeologist as well as the digger driver. There are two Ians by the way.
@@katerinakemp5701 I recall an episode where someone handed a piece of pottery to Ian and he gave a thoughtful opinion. Thanks for ending my wondering.
How the devil does this channel have so few subscribers? This show is magnificent... Canadian television is lacking such gems.
*Reijer Zaaijer* and *Fillask* have posted all the episodes _before_ this channel was started. These uploads are in higher quality.
Its only been around about a year.....
@@philaypeephilippotter6532 and with fewer commercial breaks.
TVO used to show TT in Canada, well, Ontario anyway.
Victor (the artist) was such a great asset to the show. Giving people a way to visualise history does so much to "bring it home" so to speak.
He's a highly respected archæological illustrator whose drawings usually found their way into the site report. The drawings you see are just the _tip of the iceberg._
@@philaypeephilippotter6532 Would you happen to know where I could find more of his work?
@@TheTrooper115 Sorry but no. You'll have to google him.
from USA, I still enjoy time team :)
I don't know why but seeing Mick and Tony driving through the woods felt like a scene from Jurassic Park 💁🏻♀️.
Outstanding, I love this program.
Time team is the only thing stopping me from going completely stir crazy through this lockdown. Truely- I already shaved my head 😭
You did a spears ?

Always look forward to another time team episode.
Amaziing. I love Time Team 💪👍👍Greetings from Germany😎✌
Love Time Team, you guys rock! Keep digging those trenches!
John is incredibly patient-just like the forest waiting for the Romans to clear out
Time Team is a super show. from USA, Illinois !
Best archaeology program .
I miss Time team so much. Not one episode was boring
Let’s hope micks family, Phil and the gang are finally getting paid with these videos
Wait, were there weird things going on?
These digs are done on the weekends, as they all have fulltime jobs at universities, as well as working on their own longtime digs. Why they give their time on the weekends.
Well this is a TV show that went for years. We’re lucky that RUclips offers it too
@Napoleon Hercules and mick died a crabby angry man not one year later. He was the archeology consultant not the hiring consultant. And the show had low ratings the last few seasons rather low and had been slipping for years. You don’t continue producing a sliding show that’s been on for 20 seasons. And they stated each dig cost the network an average of 200k euros. Mick cried about people not finishing his work and his time team work so he will die not a celebrity like he should have been is basically what he said while talking shit about Mary Anne who didn’t decide to fire half the production team and move the entire gig 30 minutes outside of the city it was based in.
They wanted to “support local business and technology so they though time team the best show to move. Half the people seen in the 20 seasons were straight up liars and frauds as seen when several girls are claimed to be 3 or 4 different fields of expertise in 3 or 4 different episodes and then can’t even repeat one line they were supposed to memorize to pretend they were. Tony is the biggest clown of them all midlife crisis having fairy
@@marcusjohnbondurajr wow man bitter much
A really fun episode. Much more fun to watch others do the back-breaking work too.
0:54 can’t wait for Stewart to find what everyone wants without even breaking ground on a trench
I love watching these again and again. At just 11 minutes in I've had 6 ad interruptions. Three of these were mandatory watch. This is an excessive number of ads. For some reason episodes posted by Timeline and others channels with properly licensed content have just two or three ads per episode.
It should be noted a few channels, namely Reijer Zaaijer with 90 million views - Time Team episodes and other UK programming, do not have a license for any of their Time team or other UK content. Do not watch any of their content. Doing so amounts to piracy/theft. Reijer needs to be shut down. 90 million views is a lot of lost revenue.
Just finished this great episode. 16 ad interruptions in total. Google is getting very greedy indeed.
Cheers!
6:02 look at Phil's fists when Tony is pestering him...
from the usa dig you guys
If someone blindfolded me and skipped this video back to any point without my knowledge I would know how far though it was just by looking at how wet Phils hat is 😂😂😂
How would you judge the dampness if you are blindfolded? Asking for a friend.
Malin Lindqvist with my tongue 👅 😂
@@davidhill1547 Hahahahaha
That thing they found 13:20 is a finger pick for the lyre.
I notice that Tony just about every single episode says lumps and bumps lol
I miss this show !
I love these people.
Thank you.
Am soooo glad to see so many trees in a few parts of England! Love TT!
Another excellent remaster!
Tut tut, Tony!
At 25:30 he said that the mortarium would have been used "for grinding food, like corn or maize".
The Romans weren't grinding maize. That's a New World crop. When "corn" is used in the Old World, it refers to grains such as wheat, barley, and rye.
Yeah, i was struck by that myself.
Thank you so much for making these available on RUclips. Others have uploaded it, but the quality of the videos is often comprised by their equipment. I only discovered the series a couple of years ago here in the states, but don't feel cheated as the archeology still is the same. I wish the US took as deep of an interest in our archeological sites as Britan does.
I guess the only archeological stuff we get here in North America would be Native American items....
Finally a unploughed Roman villa! Would of been nice to see more trenches dug by Phil!
*Would've, as in "Would have".
36:57 Looking at that image something cached my eye. Look at the right side of the courtyard right next to the green area.There are 3 parallel lines curving along side the site, I reckon this could easily be a ditch with a main road next to that. It even seems to have some form of wooden bridge near the top of the image over the ditch with raised edges for both the ditch as the road. To the north there seems to be another raised part which seems to look like it's holding a thin wall of some kind. I think I see another bridge looking thing near Matt's trench that connects that building and the road together.
Now another building may be near the edge where the north 'wall' and the ditch are meeting. On the inside you see a square looking thing that could easily be some form of structure. Look just right of it and you can see another square looking thing that could be another building. I think it might be possible that this could translate to some form of tower with guard house. It may be a good idea for the local team to check that out. If this happens to be indeed the case, then this may solve the puzzle a lot more.
alright! metal working, furnaces, fancy villas, roads, statues (or not), central heating, bath houses, but
what have the Romans ever done for us??!!
@Pamela Tyter somebody hasnt seen Life of Brian have they?
@Pam. Tyter that's what someone else said about him. Ignore him. He's a troll...
Another. ..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PHIL!

The superintendent's estate over the Iron production, CALLED IT!
Love this host!
I would like to see the New Time Team go back to this site!!! They never really found out where was the smelter? Where was the iron furnace? A place that is this big, should have something larger to smelt the Iron out.
I believe that there is also a large villa on this site also.
There is so much on this site to find, and I don't think Time Team, this last time that they really to me did not solve what was really happening here. There is so many questions unanswered.
When they finished their 3 days, I said to myself, no, you need another 3 days!!!
So please send the New Time Team back into this site!
I would like to know if anyone ever goes back and continues the digs. Are there updates? I like the show, but having only 3 days? How important are these sites if they just walk away with unanswered questions?
Mick said they stuck with the premise and only did 3 days. But I heard of a few where they or someone else went on further
gbowne1 Thank you.
@@khanysafan1705 you kinda have to see it as a preliminary/test dig, as Tony mentioned at the end, there is the Wessex Archeology team, that properly records everything and publishes it, and then it'll be determined if it is worth the resources to do further exploration on it.
My understanding is that that short term evaluation digs are actually a pretty standard format.
Thank you for uploading this!
Absolutely love this show
Love you Baldrick!
That bath house was most likely for the iron workers, not some overseer. The romans built baths to keep the people happy.
@alanrtment porter what you say is the snobbish modern opinion of how we "think" they were used. According to the romans baths were provided for EVERYONE. They were state organised for the people as it promoted healthy population, clean civilization ect which was the big selling point of the regime. Same as providing games ect. Frankly all modern evidence of the bath houses misses how grotty and disgusting they were at times with water not being cleaned, scraping diseased skin on rough walls and a few other bad habits. Just like today, poor people can goto baths same as rich.
@@christianbuczko1481 Everyone or the Romans? Not everyone in the roman empire was a roman, not by a long shot. Then you had the slaves...
UK, So many regulations.. Principles and things to keep in mind. Greetings from Denmark
This reminds me of the forest scenes in Ever After
34:31 is how my mum shows my equally tech-blind aunt and grandma how to use my laptop to listen to youtube music.
@13:15 This artifact is likely a musicians plectrum or finger pick for a lyre or harp. 🤷🏼♂️
Makes sense!
What they find around 29:05. That weird stone. Could that be some kind of counter weight? seems like a very convenient hole to tie a rope to.
Well not finished but continued exploring his find.
Episode 237 (Season 17, Episode 13) Rooting for the Romans, Aired: April 17, 2011
7:17 - Even Archeology takes time for Tea LOL!
That really tall man reminds me of an older Frank Spencer
That looked like early Roman fence wire to me. LOL.
Tony sets the tone for all videos *
Hello People, I am new to your videos and have subscribed. Your videos are so interesting to watch ! The back breaking work of the field archeologists is a true love to the profession ! I wanted to ask you what do you do with all the countless artifacts that you excavate ? Are they sentenced to a life of solitary confinement , never to see the light of day again or do you sell any of your artifacts ? Please keep up your great videos !
Archeological finds go to museums for study. The UK has laws about Treasure Troves.
Cool, I just printed a relief of the Alpes on a Prusa Mini 3D printer. That technique might be interesting to use in the crowdfunded new series.
#timeteaminthe2020s
They later dug Castor as well following Artis book again.
Not in my backyard 😕
Because, houseboat 😂
A few years ago I watched lots of Time Team on RUclips then suddenly they were gone, are they back again or just one or two episodes?
These look more official and have a better quality. Encouraging. Check out the DigNation website.
This is an "official" channel. The ones you saw were probably put up by people who didn't own the copyright. I'm curious about which series we will see on here because Channel 4 who originally broadcast Time Team are partially publicly funded.
They did a dig at Castor in the series after this one
right pause video ..... I think I only watch this for the friendly banter ie 6:20 +.... all work and no play etc
13:11 looks just like a finger pick as used on some stringed instruments
28:53 2nd century Glycon statue fragment maybe. . .
It totally blows my mind how ancient people built all these buildings and walls with all the heavy stones where did they get these from and how did they move them??
From a rock quarry and Romans did have the wheel. Oh, and lots of slaves.
💚
Ok good program. Bit why and what happened to the buildings ?
I was in the woods once and came across a tarpaulin covering an intact mosaic floor. I can’t remember where I was now when I saw it. 😫
Lord Dunhill what a coincidence 😂
David Hill the fact that it was covered tells me it was discovered and waiting further excavation. In my memory we had stopped by an already discovered and dug Roman villa and then walked into the woods around the site, so last time I was in England I visited a rather famous one thinking it may have been in that location but nothing was recognizable.
Lord Dunhill was just pulling ya leg I bet it must of been cool to see it in person did you manage to take any photos? History is amazing how ever far back
David Hill sadly I didn’t have a camera but the thrill when I sneaked a look under the tarpaulin will stay with me forever 🙂👍🏼
Wait! WTF! I’ve just discovered this very cool series and was then shocked to learn they go out and positively identify a Roman villa...and then spend only two or three days investigating them (and then leave)?!?!
- Why don’t the shows producers get government approval and go nuts on these sites for a year with a few million dollars and a staff of 100 Archeology students from UK and European Universities and do this properly? Let’s see the whole thing and map it out and take reams of pictures (and then if you want to rebuy it, go ahead).
If it was the only villa ever found in England then maybe but it's not, far from it.
It gets a dig started that heritage can come in a complete. It's very costly so expecting a show or small individual groups to pay for full digs isn't logical. Working together helps both groups.
one day of dig cost about 100 000 pound sterling. This is not even the only one in the UK, there are hundreds of them...the government cant afford it. UK is full of sites like this and they have to priorities some sites then others.
It’s the format of the program!
The enigma is the host has SEVERAL winter jackets on while others are in short sleeves so is it cold or not there at the time of filming
Gee oh fizz!
I think Phil has the same clothes on.....
00:16 ...by firing lasers between the trees...
- gets distant look in the eyes: *Endor...*
21:40
Butcher's apostrophe :P
Greengrocer’s apostrophe
Not sure I realized they had Lidar back then.
It's been around since 1961...
Can someone please help me place Phil’s accent?
Wiltshire.
They always seem to dig where the digital map shows the least activity
Midgees, a much nicer name for what we call mosquitos over here in the US. It's like someone yelled "buffet" every time I step outside near sunset. They love me.
