- In a sensational three days, an ancient site yields burials dating back to 2000BC, along with rare Saxon brooches, beads, spears and jewellery.
In the middle of the army training ground on Salisbury Plain, just a mile from Stonehenge, is the extraordinary Barrow Clump.
It's a huge mound of earth built by Bronze Age people to bury their dead. More than 2500 years later, the Anglo-Saxons re-used Barrow Clump, burying their dead with staggering artefacts. But it's now being destroyed by badgers.
At the dig site, Tony and the Team join soldiers from Operation Nightingale, who are being trained in archaeology as part of their recovery after being wounded or traumatised in Afghanistan.
Working alongside these soldiers is a moving and thought-provoking experience, as modern-day warriors respectfully uncover the remains of their ancient predecessors.
As the finds pile up, pottery dates the earliest burial to around 2100 BC - much the same time as when the big stones went up at nearby Stonehenge.
And the Saxon finds speak of a relatively wealthy, cosmopolitan people living in the area in the sixth century.
This has to be one of my favorite shows. Seeing this program set up and helping vets is beyond amazing. Working with all the "hippies" out there in the field. I loved that quote. :) Thanks for the much loved good heart feelings. And thanks to those military that have served.
The Military doesn't always get it right, but when they do they hit it out of the Park! What a great program! The locus of PTSD-driven depression is the sense of not being able to keep a bad thing from happening. And, there is no better way to address this than guiding a person to rediscover their empowerment. This dig was exactly what damaged individuals needed and plainly found its mark with the vets that were interviewed. Can't say enough good things about what I just saw!
So. Unless you think I just crush on Helen and Raksha, I love Phil. Phil takes care of those around them and mocks them and cares for them and makes them feel safe. Who wouldn't love him. Don't think I wouldn't. I do. I love Phil. Look how he empowers the soldiers that work for him. It's just instinct with him to build folk up. Love him
I hope Phil lives forever.He is inspiring in his enthusiasm and personality.
I've watched this entire show from S1 up to this episode, which I've just started. At 5:38 I realized I was watching with a huge grin on my face for no other reason than I have come to love this show so stinking much. Even S19 is better than pretty much anything else I could be watching. Covid19 and all the quarantining and cancellations are happening around me right now but this show has been a balm these last weeks. An absorbing distraction and so much more. And Phil! Out of them all he's been the most endearing and entertaining. Thank you ever so much Reijer Zaaijer for making them available to people like me, long late to the party that is TT, but no less a fan for all that.
You're absolutely right. I also discovered this during the height of quarantine and it honestly got me through to today. I'm so happy there are new episodes coming out too!
Me too. I have a rare cancer and watching helps me cope with the stress on my family and the recent loss of my husband.
I’m not alone! PTSD really stopped me in my tracks. Time Team, each and every member of the show, have helped so many of us deal with our own personal demons. My love and prayers to all of us who have such afflictions. My deep respect and gratitude to everyone involved with this show for the comfort, education and humor that helps the viewers deal with our nightmares. ❤️
A real big thank you to Time Team for helping those veterans know that people do care about them.
What a great idea! Archeology as a form of form of therapy for the young war vets. Kudos!
I like that they found a purpose for their lives. I have sympathy for them
I love how you can HEAR Helen's face light up when she's excited about the artifacts...
So true. Im convinced that the decision to dump Helen and Stuart in S19 was the biggest reason why the show collapsed (well... that and Mick leaving). The revival of the show needs to keep in mind that the protagonists need to be the experts. You have to build the show around people like Helen, Stuart, Phil, John...
I should add that I dont think Mary-Anne Ochoa was the disaster some people have made her out to be. The producers viewed her as Tony's potential replacement, which means asking a lot of questions, listening politely and making funny quips. But of course, that "script" made her seem clueless and superfluous - particularly when compared to past TT stars like Helen Geake, Carenza Lewis, Brigid Gallagher and more. If they had straight-up retired Tony, she might have been an OK choice as a new MC. But based on what the scripts called for her to do, its no wonder why she wasnt taken seriously by viewers.
It's amazing how many people Time Team touched through the years.
I'm amazed I thought I was the only one to find solace from depression by watching Time Team . Its always good to fined your not alone.
You are not alone there. I would watch for hours at a time when my mom passed away.
+AsheeAshee its always good to know you're not alone , praying for you to
have a sackload of blessing
+Penelope Paull Thanks. You too!!!
+Penelope Paull You are definitely not alone! I watched this whole series when my husband left me, and now I'm watching it again since my Mom passed away in September. It's quite healing. I realize it couldn't last forever, but I so wish there were another 20 years of TT episodes to watch!
+Donna Perez +Donna Perez I wonder if they realised in how many different ways this programme would help people,when they first made it, I'm sure Prof. Mick would be delighted. Wishing you sacks full of happy memories .
In a way, Phil has been my therapist for years. Watching him relate with these soldiers is very affirming in my own life.
That was the most moving episode of the entire run of Time Team episodes. It really made the tragedy of war human. Cheers
There must be something about time team that helps people somehow, watching this show helps me relax and stops me thinking about what gave me PTSD.
I came here to leave the same comment. I suffer from PTSD too and I adore watching Time Team!
Paranormal Paratrooper I had PTSD for over 50 years and still have some problems, I watch at least one episode a day. I find it calming and the team have been in my life from the beginning and for the last few years I've watched them and love every episode. We need something like this in our lives when we are in need.
I have to say that this is a very soothing, peaceful show. I use it to get my mind off things, relax and fall asleep. There are about thirty episodes that I'm dying to know how they end.
Of course they have it, too. Unless you mean that your true enemy, i.e. your greedy, psychopathic masters, don't have it, which is most likely the case. These people systematically dehumanize the designated enemy they got you to fight because that makes it easier to get your cooperation to do their dirty work. (Besides, it's an age old human psy-op (or self psych-out). Our earliest ancestors in their tiny bands gave themselves a name meaning human being, and all other people outside their group were not considered to be human. Apparently survival meant killing others on sight, and that's not as difficult if they're not like you.)
@@bugwit Thank you for the belly laugh! I hope you get to see the endings soon. Blessings!
“...Watching people getting along…”. That is probably the number one thing that makes this show so magical. No relentless drama for the sake of ratings. I can’t think of another word but “magical”.
Absolutely spot on!!
As an American addicted to the TT, I can't get enough of this show,but this show I felt was one of the best not because of its finds but because of who was doing the digging.. British HEROS.. I'm glad they made it home alive and I'm happy to hear they find this therapeutic in their recovery efforts. Maybe one day there will another show like TT but with these Soldiers taking the charge instead while helping other men and women like it had helped them.. Thank you for service,dedication, honor and heroism from the other side of the pond..
I've been watching Time Team episodes like a mad woman and have watched 30+ episodes, but this was, by far, the most inspiring. Warriors of today shining light on warriors of the past. To see archaeology used to bring soldiers back from the brink and inspire them to move forward is such a phenominal experience. Thank you to the uploader for creating the opportunity to view this and to Time Team for producing this episode. Maybe this idea will catch on in the US and we can encourage and inspire our own injured soldiers in this way.
This episode is easily the best one I've seen. Absolutely heart warming to see the healing, compassion and comradery.
❤️
This episode moves me to tears. Those young men, so much pain and so much loss.
I too am binging lately! I wish it never got canceled or whatever happened.
EVERYONE LOVES PHIL, and what a amazing place they've excavated best one i think.
Think this episode was one of my all time favorites. what was great about this, is that Dr. Phil Harding, became so interested in working and helping these men, that he joined them in operation Nightingale and continues even now to be involved! awesome Job, Phil!
I understand Steve. Career loss and watching Time Team is something about which I know much.
I'm only here for a spare humerus. Classic British humour.
this is just so amazing ... Time Team has always been a comfort to me ... Ive watched the whole series several times, but somehow I missed this episode over the years ... Time Team was so good to me over the years, it's amazing to see it had such a positive effect on people who need the help more than most ... amazing.
... plus the idea of archaeology as therapy is fantastic ... love that
Time Team has been and continues to be a life saver and life changer for me. Thank you Time Team.
So here I am, 2021. COVID and quarantine and mostly alone and time team is my nightly therapy. How does a show after all these years still provide that comfort? It truly must be Phil’s shorts and hat! But seriously for me it’s the simple no fuss genuineness and camaraderie of the team that I need right now. Thank you TT.
Helen's enthusiasm is contagious. She gets so excited over so much. I bet it is the other archeologist mission to show her the unique items they find just to watch her reaction.
God bless the Time Team and God bless the servicemen and women.
I'm so glad these brave soldiers were given this therapy. Kudos and a medal to the soldier who thought this one up!
These people were shot at/blown up because they joined an army that subsequently invaded another country and in view of recent developments in Iraq and Afghanistan we may well ask (apart from the lining the pockets of Bush and Cheneys companies Blackwater and Halliburton and ensuring the continued expansion of Al Qaeda) what was achieved.
The neo con press is getting us ready for the next war too, if you doubt what I say read the Sabre rattling articles of Tim Stanley or just look at your local newspapers with your eyes open.
Helga Anderson
Just go away. Bye.
wrong place for your opinion. now, be a good girl and bugger off.
I will pray for you that you recover from your anger management problem. How very sad.
say it, baby girl.....truth!
The question of why time team is so comforting. Is not really complicated. With Archeology you get something that is genuinly important and at the same time its away from the harshness of the every day.
Time Team dose it again. The help to those who have served. to support snd honor their oing froward in grace and love. Thank You Time Team
Wonderful segment with the Nightingales. I wish Time Team had done more segments with them. Phil, in particular, seemed to inspire the soldiers.
Probably my favourite episode because of the therapy for vets. Well done.
Also badgers.
I so wish that they would bring back the Time team...
You got your wish!!!! Time Team has been brought back because of fans like us! 👏 I'm so happy!
What an amazing episode... by far one of the best they made. Watching Phil interact with those 'lads' was heartwarming! I was so touched by their stories and the effect archaeology was having on them that I almost didn't even care about the archaeology! Great job Time Team!`
I have severe depression & PTSD and watch Time Team to relax and space out as well.
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014hl0dThis is another archaeological programme you may enjoy and I hope it relieves your suffering also. Digging for Britain.
Hope you are doing better, don't give up, keep reaching until you find peace.
Thank you time team for helping us combat vets readjusting! Staff Sergeant Lewis
This was sensational episode. May God bless you all !!
Thank you, Steve and God bless you❤ Stick with the family and dig holes and be happy. God bless and thank you for your service.
I did not cryed, but i did breath out, hard, when it was originally coming out. And yes, i am watching time team stuff 2x as remedy against depression. It helps. Thank you all!
The best Time Team episode ever! I love Phil's interaction with the injured soldiers. Such a great episode! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
And Tony's.
You know, I ran across Time Team videos pretty randomly because I always loved archaeology. (When I was a child I used to bury things for future archaeologists, even. Hel, every time I make a wall I put a coin with a good date in a plastic bag underneath . :) ) But, this show's actually real good for PTSD. It's smart people you may like going through rational processes. For reasons. That happen to be *over.*
PTSD can be terrible, and maybe it never totally goes away, but it can get better and this show can help while it does or on nights when it doesn't. Anyway, my thanks to all involved. It really helps.
"Can be terrible." Understatement. But this is more interesting.
One of the best episodes of the entire series. No question.
Studying history gives us some idea of how we got into the mess we're in now. For a soldier suffering from PTSD this is already therapeutic. Add to this the hands on work among their friends and peers who have been through many of the same trauma's, and you have a recipe for healing. *All soldiers who are wounded and suffering physically and or mentally deserve to have their stories told like this.* I wish them all peace and prosperity. ^-^
No one forced to be government killers though.
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." -Dwight D. Eisenhower
Obviously not enough to stop himself from getting involved in Vietnam and using the via for a lot of horrible crap

It was so wonderful watching your veterans getting good theropy in helping Time Team dig that site . It did my heart good watching this .
Wow, that has to be one of the very best TTs ever, they really know how to treat the real heros of the British Army with true respect. I am impressed. These boys deserve everyone's support, admiration and gratitude for what they have done for the UK
This episode is a tear-jerker every time I watch it. There interactions of the Team with the soldiers is quite moving and inspiring.
Those who think archaeology is nothing but grave robbing and such are totally ignorant about the subject. " those that do not learn from history are bound to repeat it " Digging up the past is beneficial to the knowledge base of humanity. Unfortunately some folks prefer to remain ignorant. The Time Team series has increased the IQ of all its viewers, even the detractors.
this program is a treasure...thank you Reijer
this is a great series ,keep watching.Huggs silky
I've only recently discovered this series, but I've been hooked episode after episode for the past couple of weeks. It's really helping to calm me down, and to get through this pandemic with my sanity intact. It's rekindled my interest in ancient history so much so that I'm create a more in depth world building mythology for my novel. Knowing the history of my characters' people is helping me develop those characters and bring the world to life. It's helping me as a writer. Thank you, Time Team. :)
I can totally relate to these shows being therapeutic. I use them to relax and decompress as does my husband who actually struggles with serious depression. We watch on our own as well as together and we both enjoy them immensely. Thank you for sharing the series here. ❤️
PTSD here. Tme Team makes me calm. I fall asleep to it every night.
same here.
Every time Jackie calls a skeleton Sweetheart it touches me. She respects their humanity.
Three cheers for the British military and Time Team.
Ian, the Elder, in the cab of what we Canadians call a swing shovel. When you fully extend the arm and dip the bucket the natural tendency is to take a big bite off the position of insertion and skim upwards. Ian keeps his bucket true from extension to retraction. A masterful of skill.
What a terrific series! I'm getting very attached to the folks.
There is something healing and soothing about time team. Ive been watching it all day since my son and husband passed away. It takes my mind off my grief for a while.
Deborah Cook I was so sad to read your comment, Deborah. I know exactly what you mean. Best wishes.
Deborah Cook Wow, I'm so very sorry for your losses! Do you mind if I pray for you? I'm glad you have found something that helps you, TT is a wonderful program and this episode was the best! Take care Deborah, and may God grant you some peace and comfort!
Deborah Cook Bless you !
@Deborah Cook : I wish you healing and loving memories.
Don't forget that nurturing friendships helps too. ^-^
HUGS 🤗
I know I’m 10 years late to this video, but I love coming in the comments and seeing how many of others have found the show has helped with PTSD too
TT is therapeutic to me also. didn't put it together till this episode. thank you all
I love the Anglo-Saxon Time Team episodes!
Oh yes someone else who is a Saxon fan. The Roman episodes are my least favourite but I still like them. I'm fascinated by the Saxons I'm looking to see if there's any courses I can take
I've watched and listened to every single episode of Time Team numerous times over the past month or so. It plays in the background while I'm working and while I'm gardening and keeps my mind off the current world madness and past pains. Exactly what it is about it...their jovial manner, the stories, their enthusiasm, my past obsession with archaeology, the familiarity of the individual characters through every episode...I don't know, but this show is definitely "balm to the brain" as Sherlock Holmes might say. And I even discovered a new jewellery making technique courtesy of the show, cuttlebone casting. Education, light entertainment and company all rolled into one. Simply enjoyable.
This one is my all-time favorite episode from Time Team.
Im rewatching this series......and ive never posted comments to a youtube site or any site.....but for some reason i decided to night to watch this episode and read the comments.....and luckily i did.....just to read about others who are and were having a hard time......tonight is one of the worst nights emotionally for me but im a little uplifted to know there are many others who depend on this kind of distraction to keep going in life....i may add that there is a female Buddhist monk with videos on youtube named Pema Chodron and she also is my lifeline....nothing preachy, just comforting thoughts.....i am 82 years old. Its hard to stay positive after all these years. Namaste!
This is such a wonderful episode about a dynamic program. Yes P, I find my solice watching these episodes as well.
How can someone do thumbs down,this is so amazing for so many reasons ,to all who served thanks
This is awesome. I’m so glad that these gentlemen could find solace in this activity. Good for them. Seriously!!! Depression is a very real thing and it can be very deadly.
Absolutely a great partnership that benefits so many people, who deserve it so much. Metal detecting gives the thrill of discovery and has proven to be archaeologically important and therapeutic, too. Although it's likely to be a more solitary adventure than the throng of Time Team, it's amazing what antiquarian finds lie beneath our feet. Way to go guys...all of you. Hoorah.
Between covid and having back surgery I have been watching Time Team from season 1. I must admit that I am crazy about Phil Harding. His sexy shorts are so cute. This biography does not mention that he ever married or had children. I imagine he was living a good life on his terms and had plenty of good company. I love his laugh. Wish I could have had a beer with him
I've seen dozens of episodes over the last 6 Mos. Just caught this.maybe best episode I've seen. Good luck. Steve. Keep on digging! Thanks for being there for my brothers, Time team.
Tip my hat to the soldiers of op Nightingale, MOD and time team.
As a Veteran, I get why archeology is appealing as therapy, especially the burials. Maybe the same reasons I enjoy watching.
That 'Last Post' did it. Until then I had been able to hold back my tears. Sigh!!! May God make it easy for you guys and bring you comfort and the ability to recover and carry on a productive and whole life. And I wish the same for the many thousands of men all over the world who likewise suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Be strong. Best Wishes.
I come from a land far away from Afghanistan or the Middle East (nothing to do with Islam) where the same thing happened. Three of my brothers likewise have suffered with P.T.S.D. for many years and it has not been at all easy for them. Even though this syndrome haunts them constantly, they have been able to carry on and have been very successful. Although it is not so bad now, I myself suffer from shell shock from being in the vicinity of a massive bomb blast. The only thing I find very hard to handle is people playing double bass ghetto music. Each beat is like the impact of a bomb.
TLP - got to me too.
Lamees Ahmad ❤️❤️🎶❤️
Time Team does the same for me. I absolutely love it. Thank you for uploading this amazing program.
Time Team could definetely save me from suicidal depression too!
Helen, welcome back. Hang in there. You provided more information, etc. in five minutes than the other woman did in a whole series.
You are disparaging all the other women who, alongside Helen, have contributed their expertise to Time Team.
Not so. Just being truthful, as many others did with similar comments. I am not a "politically correct" person and still call a spade a spade, or if you prefer a "policeman a policeman," not a police person, and so no. Therefore, where is my disparagement, or are you so "politically correct" you now call a manhole cover a road-hole cover, an actress an actor, a comedienne a comedian, so that no gender is attached to the position and it becomes difficult to distinguish between a male and a female? Sorry, but I do not agree with that movement and if a person does not perform, as that one didn't, then a spade is a spade. No return comment needed as I will maintain the same stance.
+Wotdermatter My reply had nothing to do with political correctness, but that you "dissed"-disparaged-every single woman, other than Helen, as not being knowledgeable, which is a complete untruth as many of them are considered, by experts, as experts in their fields.
That was not my intention. In fact, I singled Helen out as an example because there were many who deserved the same accolade. Just a pity so many fine young ladies left, for whatever reasons, and the final replacement did not match up to the same level of acceptance by many viewers or even by Mick. Obviously, you missed the point I was making but that's OK. Also, you seem to forget that I was welcoming Helen on her return. As I said, she contributed much expertise, as did many others, whereas the one did not appear to find a niche nor display any area of expertise.
'nuf sed.
I can understand fully why time team keeps me watching again and again. the soldiers said it true..tteam helps me get thru the hard days of depression and pain. medical answers and medication does not always seem to help or answer. soldiers like myself just want to remember and be like everyone else. going thru everyday life. time team has helped me more than I can say. I just hope it remains on RUclips. I have been re watching since 2010. to all of the soldiers remember who you are and you are important to someone beside yourself. I remain positive to this day some 30 plus years out of regular service.
it stays with you always.....ooh ra!
As a veteran, I love this show.
Elijah Hodges Thank you for your service and all the parts of that
❤️❤️❤️
How could people dislike this? It is full of all things that made us human - humbleness to humour. The soldiers are brilliant men and my heart breaks when I hear their tragic stories of readjustment. They put their lives on the line for those ignorant idiots who dislike this video.
I liked this video as well but let us remember that nobody forced these men to be soldiers, it is a job that they wanted and this job entails not only shooting people in a foreign country but being shot at as well. People in general don't like foreign soldiers on their soil so obviously they are going to resist, it is a danger they were aware of but many can't wait to get into action, "it won't happen to me" of course when it does they get all teary eyed. No they didn't sacrifice their lives or their health because if they could have seen into the future they wouldn't have gone, it was an adventure gone wrong.
No one asked them to do that. They did it on their own. And they put their lives on the line for government agendas not us.
As a member of a military family who has spent decades trying to help veterans and their families in the States I am so happy there are people helping vets in such unusual but genuinely productive ways. God bless you Time Team.
How wonderful to.see soldiers that were injured physically & mentally scarred getting a new truly beneficial purpose doing this amazing dig which gave these soldiers therapy changing their lives for the better knowing that they were responsible for uncovering an amazing part of Britans history working with Time Team. I wonder if America would follow suit helping our military recover from war while uncovering American history. .
What a brilliant therapy program!
Best TV series ever produced about Archeology and prehistory.
I found Time Team by accident in December 2018...and I'm super sad for this to be ending. I have been seriously ill the last 2 months and Time Team has given me hours of enjoyment and for that I'm incredibly thankful. I have learned so much and giggle each time I hear terms in audiobooks I listen too...like Clinker Construction...I now know what that means or revetment ...lol :)
Bless the Soldiers..
Excellent show. I love Operation Nightingale and I hope it continues for the foreseeable future.
I have enjoyed every episode untill now and I will sure enjoy all the rest. Will cry my eyes out when there are no more episodes. I tried to dig for a few weeks and we found alot from Iron age and viking finds. The best work experience, I have ever had and here in Time Team, I dream myself back to those weeks. SIGH!
Where did you dig, your back yard?
No, If just....:-) I digged in a graveyard together with an archeologist in a place called Brynshoej in North west Zealand, near Hoejby, Denmark. We found 15 glass beads, fibulas, clasps, knives and such. They say, this finds are unique.
When I was a kid dreaming of becoming an archeologist I dug a big pit between our house and the neighbours LOL there were a few little odds and ends that didn’t seem remarkable to me (at least back then), but my efforts were rewarded with a petrified pear! 🍐
There is another possibility for the lack of wear on the weapons, as is the case today these Warriors were buried in the equivalent of a modern dress uniform as many are buried in today.
That was my thought, as well. The recreated shield seemed much small (and less effective) than the ones used by the other recreators during the demonstration..
My thoughts exactly!
It would make sense they'd be buried with full honors.
- chapeau - even that the dig was so many years back already!
Binge watching during 2020 lockdown, fantastic series, thank you for uploading
Phil and his trust shovel is always one of my favorites.
Tony always seems like he's better than anyone else.
This was by far my favorite Time Team I've ever watched! Thank you all for doing so much for the vets! And I really enjoyed the dig too!!! Was really cool!
I have PSTD & Never went to war. But I battled being abused as a child. I understand their pain.
As a us army veteran this made me smile and choke up listening to my british brother vers telling their stories and finding new life after service. Ty and may they have long lives and happiness
Love the warrior
HATE the war
Warriors exist to fight wars. Cant have one without the other.
Getting your hands in the trench is therapy. Digging, getting your hands dirty, sharing, discovery. It about common comradery! Thats life!
This episode was so deep on so many levels. Well done TT.
PTSD 🖐 there is something that is magically about this show
On the next Talk Like a Pirate Day, I'm just going to imitate Phil Harding.
Bonnie Bagley 😂😂😂😂😂
Of Course!!
Ooh aarr!
This one is particularly MOVING because of the modern warriors involved. I've been moved to tears. Blessings and deep gratitude to all the military involved and viewing.
I absolutely love this show, but this episode is amazing!
I just found these Time Team videos, thanks to Reijer Zaaijer. I see that people's comments from years ago say that it is calming to watch...LOL I fall asleep listening to these videos! The people in the show are upbeat and funny, and it is very interesting. l'm not exactly sure why they sooth me, but like Bob Ross, and his "happy little clouds" they're quite therapeutic.
