Much as I love the broad spectrum of Time Team's activities, in this news report, I have to say it's the Shakespeare story that really blows me away. Looking forward to the Stratford on Avon special.
Yea! Yea Beard's Stage. It takes my breath away to see these ancient boards still solid & supporting actors & patreons today since 1592-93 CE.
Oops! Typo. 😡 Auto switch when I tap SEND arrow. Beard's Boards.

To find out that Hominids were using tools and possibly fire for fashioning wood 476,000 years ago is mind blowing.
Seeing the floor at the theatre in Kings Lynn reminded me about a wooden floor in my old Hospital - RNH HASLAR
I worked there in 1973 and then again 2004. I was told that the floor outside my old ward C3 was the same floor that had been put down when the Hospital had been built. TBH, that was hearsay so it may not have been true. I was very sad to see the old Hospital go
I have a suggestion for your Time Team News: Last April I visited Mary's City, Maryland- the site of a Season 4 Time Team dig. That's the one where Stewart spent the 3 days looking for the site of the 1634 Fort built by the colonists, without much result. Recently the archeologists at St. Mary's City found a fortification around the early Calvert house- not the original Fort, but one built as part of a 1655 war between Puritans and Catholics- an outgrowth of the English Civil War. But apparently on a completely different site they have recently actually found what they believe to be the 1634 Fort, and started excavations there. I don't know if either of these are on the various lumps and bumps Stewart examined, but I'm curious to know. Since Mick the Twig now lives and works in Maryland, do you think you could get him to pop down and find out?
People get impatient when archaeologists don't dig a site completely, but the Herculaneum papyri demonstrate why they leave a lot of things alone at a rich site. We can be endlessly thankful that the people who tried to unroll those papyri only tried it with a few of them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had any left to be scanned and read non-invasively with modern technology. Who knows what archaeologists will use in a hundred years time?
Another great report Dani !! I loved the piece on AI developments to attempt to ‘read’ the papyri ! Imagine all of the knowledge in 600+ scrolls !!! Technology is constantly revolutionising our understanding of the past !! 😊
I love these Time Teams newsletters and the icing on the cake is the gorgeous Dani Wootton.
I fell in love with Dani's enthusiasm way back in the zip line episode. I can see she hasn't lost any of it. I love her monthly news report.
All I can say is "WOW"! Shakespeare! Every time I watch an episode of Time Team I learn something and the whole idea that the entire floor of the theater is so awesome I can hardly wait for more information....and for an eighty year old I don't know if I have that much more time left😊. Thank you for sharing.😊
This development of the Early Stone Age boat building is astounding! What else is there to discover from this time??
This is all great stuff! Thanks so much for enriching our understanding of the past. You all do a wonderful job!
It's still very much early days when it comes to decyphering the Herculaneum papyri, but the new AI techniques hold a good promise. Here's hoping we might at least take a glimpse at the content of the scrolls one day...
There is a theory that's they've excavated the Greek library, but there's still a Latin library to be found.
Amazing theatre in Kings Lynn!!!
Thanks, Dani & Co. Keep up the good, and interesting work.
Shakespeare is the best!! Thank you so very much for sharing this!!🙏💖🪶💞
What a fabulous newsletter! Time Team, you are doing a great job!
Fascinating
I would like to see revisits of some of the original digs where that dig has not been reburied but instead investigation has continued. For example, the Beaker site in Spain - what has happened since? Not necessarily a team effort, but an update on what has been found or excavated since the original dig. I believe there is scope for many hours of informative viewing at relatively low cost (unless it's all reburied).
I love the scroll challenge the most.
I can't wait to see the Forestry England investigation of the WWI training camp. I bought the book, BTW, Broken Pots Mended Lives, about Operation Nightingale, it is really good, I recommend it.
Damned good way to spend a Saturday, lying on the bed with the Dog of Mischief napping beside me, and watching Dani’s report.
Bliss.
I love this series! Brilliant
Looking forward to ALL these programs, fascinating subjects all, but yeah, Shakespeare’s boards, WOW!!
Great episode, thank you! Also thank you for covering my submission!! ❤️
I just love it it is marvelous to hear about it
All great items, ty Time Team. And congratulations on your channel's growth.
Amazing things are happening! 👍
You could lit up a small village with the enthusiam shown in the segment made in King's Lynn, truly magic news! Made me think of dear old TT contributor Beric Morley RIP
Glad to see Lawrence and Derek working on another story. And very pleased to see Chris Casswell on a Time Team dig! He was a great presence on DigVentures before Covid, and I hope he becomes a regular!
Love the news !! Excellent video
Love the scroll project, such amazing possibilities, Thank You
Congratulations Time Team! Looking forward to a very exciting New Year!
Great work, all. Please keep going!
Love you! and your news 😊
Good News report, in many ways. Thank you! 🇨🇦
Oh im certainly very excited to see what the AI was able to gather. Ever since the oculists codex was deciphered ive been curious about the tons of other coded documents known to exist but heretofore unreadable.
Time Team is awesome.
About ancient civilisations, would be nice to see more about adam's calendar. The work of Michael Tellinger is truly amazing.
WOW!!! so cool on the building
so inspiring!
Thanks
So cool.
Thank you
Thank you for the news! I've been hearing quite a bit about glacier archaeology in Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland, the Alps and even Alaska. Perhaps you could tell us more about this exciting flow of archaeology, even though it's a difficult consequence of global warming.
I had to back up the video to see ye bard's boards again. 🥳🥳🥳😱😱😱💃💃💃💗💗💗
Great on yet again. Is there any plan for a dig in Ireland
❤❤❤❤ very cool
Best idea ever
I saw the african wooden platform on the university of liverpool youtube channel, a few months ago.
@RedSkysAreOnFire - Wow! This is an absolutely mind-blowing shake-up of human history. I'm surprised that the Earth didn't vibrate when this paper was published!
I really enjoyed the format and length of this video. My biggest gripe with modern time team releases has been the split part release of full digs. I would love to see more 40m+ dig episodes supplemented with frequent content like this to help with the algorithm.
Like it!
A busy month!
I would be interested in learning more about the excavations at Atapuerca in Spain.
Excuse me, but I got to correct the assessment as 476kya as a time that "predates anatomically modern humans". We got fossils from Morocco that are around 315kya, but more importantly genetic exams show the split between homo erectus and homo sapiens occurred around 500kya. So within the relatively wide margins of error we cannot say whether or not this was created by AMH or others.
How is that theatre not a world heritage site? It’s amazing.
Brilliant update of recent, global archaeology….. thank you! 🙄
Forestry England seem to be protecting many historic sites - WWI training grounds, the actual fight between Duke William and King Harold. I wonder if the National Lottery Fund would sponsor a look at Ashes Wood for both the main tussle between Will the conk and ‘arold and the Malfosse (within 150 metres of the main event)?
I'd love to see someone succeed and decipher the scrolls.
Graham Hancock has said this for years but still if the archiological world is getting on board i guess thats progress eventually
✌
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍👍👍
If AI can decipher the scrolls, maybe next you can use it to decipher Linear A.
I think I need to say thank you to the people of Britain who purchase national lottery tickets that help fund that wonderful forestry project in the trenches that we're going to get to see in the future. I live in the United States I cannot purchase national lottery ticket so therefore I'm a patreon but I need to say thanks to everyone over there. 😊
You need a greater test on those boards. 1700 at best
Zambia. Was it early humans, or visitors?
So, this means in Herculaneum, they wrote in Greek, not Latin?
This episode only confirms my theory ancient man was not as ancient as we think they were. Great episode.
unable to listen because of the background music
The more closely and farther back scientists look, the more respect we must show for our older hominid cousins. Instead of a jerky line of evolution, lunging from one homo species to another, the smoother the line becomes in the vast sweep of time.
So I've been saying 'papyrus' wrong for 60 years...
I firmly believe that there is substance to the King Arthur story. On the Yesterday channel a series The Real Story of King Arthur, the researcher points to archaeology that supports documents. The book The Real Story of King Arthur, sets out the results of years of research. There are significant sites still not investigated 👍🙂
Hmm... the floorboards Shakespeare has performed on are interesting. The problem is that Shakespeare is not very well documented. That may sound surprising, but London was very prone to fires and that would have destroyed a large amount of documents.
Mozart on the other hand is fairly well dokumented:
a) His sheets were the livelyhood of his widow and thus sold on to many different collectors and musicians.
b) Many of his letters and personal records have been preserved - as well as the more traditional reviews.
c) Mozart had instant recall of any music he had ever seen or heard. His own music did not write down before the composition was done in his head. Some fragments have survived as fragments. Some not as finished products, as there were things he had to write down: F.i. He knew of polyphony (which was Bachs speciality); but it did not come natural to him.
The interesting part of this is, that we actually might get beyond the mere score (as we KNOW that the score is the bare bones and the performance of Mozart had improvised ornaments - as was/is common. We know that, because in a letter his sister asks him to write out some ornaments.
That means we cannot recreate how Mozarts music sounded in the original. Partly because our modern piano's and clarinettes are rather different (His piano concertoes are very much under the influence of his piano had only 50 keys - whereas a modern piano has 88 - the Bösendorfer has 108). Partly because not all of the ornaments have been written down.
Now there are a couple of clarinet concertoes ascribed to Joseph Haydn. Just because the were found in Haydn's estate; but the point is: They are not signed by Haydn, nor by Mozart. That is not strange, as Mozart did not sign works that he did not consider finished.
But the point is that the clarinet was a new invention, as the crumhorns were thrown as kindling on the pyre of history (thank God - they were awfull) and Mozart had access to the only competent clarinet musicians (Gebrüder Stadler) and a large part of the total production of music is written to particular musicians.
Now you could say that the floorboards Shakespeare walked on are not particularly interesting from a litterary point of view. Point being that is very hard to know what ephemeral information is relevant. F.i. Shakespeares son was named AMLED (he died at the age of 8 - if I am informed correctly). Which tells us something - if nothing else: What Shakespeare himself considered admirable and important. Because Hamlet is an impossible play to perform - it is to long! There would not have been daylight for the audience to get home without hiring somebody to light their way. Shakespeared of course knew that, but still: He wrote it longer than practical. In other words: Every snippet of information might at some point be important.
I thought this was going to be AI reading Shakespeare but it isn't.
Genuinely just curious but do British people say pah-pir-ee for papyrus? Americans say pah-pire-us.
I’m wondering if I’m saying it wrong.
Papyri is just the plural of papyrus, we also call one papyrus a papyrus 🙂
I though that was Pap-ee-rye? Papyree sounds rather silly.
Not 100% certain, but papyrus is latin form of a greek word that probably was picked up in Egypt by the Greeks
Being latin, this type of word ending in -us for singular and -i for plural
Like Cactus vs Cacti
Might be wrong it's been 30 years since I did latin as a child 😂
When you say 'series 6', I can only assume you mean season 6?
@iamperplexed4695 - No, she means "series 6" which is how they term it in Britain. It is the USA that uses the "season 6" term. I do not know about other countries.
@@MossyMozart So season is correct then, thanks for confirming.
I have serious doubts about the accuracy of the date on those pieces of wood found in Africa.
@gregb6469 - What does YOUR research show?
@@MossyMozart-- My research indicates quite clearly that the world is not more than 10,000 years old, so there is no way that wood can be 400,000+ years old.
@@gregb6469 Very good. 😁😁

Wait.. Papperis? Not Pap-eye-rus?
Unless you’re a Bible-believing Christian, then one wouldn’t be surprised at all that early man was more sophisticated that “accepted academia” assumes.
Bible believing Christians- if they believe in young earth- would absolutely believe early humans were just like us 😉
@Concetta20 = “accepted academia”? What is that supposed to mean?
-------------
When science makes new discoveries, if they are supported by the data, then they are incorporated into our knowledge base. You know about Denisovans, right? Their DNA can now be searched for in the genealogy kits people buy. The scientific treatment of discoveries differs from religion, which stays rooted in its dogma. Buddhism is the only religion I know of that will alter their teachings to reflect scientific discovery.
You mean brainwashed by Religion..
I'm not a fan of AI
It seems to have many good sides, but also many worrisome sides. I hope it doesn't get away from us before we can harness it for good.
Ah Dani boy, since when did you become Nature magazine podcast?
Pappy-russ?
Shakespeare was a Playwright, not an actor. He would not have trod any boards, the actors got to do that.
Graham Hancock has been telling archaeologists how wrong they are about early humans and many more periods of evolution for a very long time.
@Mick_English - This is NOT what Hancock claims. He has not claimed that pre-Sapiens had the tools and possible fire technology to actually work wood.
-----------------
He is a DENIALIST who refuses to admit that any people except his for fictional atlantean fairies had the intelligence to accomplish the great things that we see in the march of time. He tries to rip the underpinnings out from beneath the feet of Mayans, Egyptians, and any other culture that had the nerve NOT to be atlanteans.
-----------------
Hancock is not a scientist, as you well know. He is a pseudoscientist, a sham without a shred of proof to his name. What is talked about here is ACTUAL science and ACTUAL evidence.
He is a hack, and cannot stand to academic review.
~♦ I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it is just our flesh and that is it. It knows only things of the flesh (our fleshly desires) and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as peace of heart (which comes from obeying God's Word). Whereas we are a spirit and we have a soul but live in the body (in the flesh). When you go to bed it is your flesh that sleeps but your spirit never sleeps (otherwise you have died physically) that is why you have dreams. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart (when I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'). But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons that is a thing of our flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. Take note, true love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as patience and faith (in the finished work of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, rather than in what man has done such as science, technology and organizations which won't last forever). To avoid sin and error which leads to the death of our body and also our spirit in hell fire, we should let the Word of God be the standard of our lives not AI. If not, God will let us face AI on our own and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. Our prove text is taken from the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21. Let us watch and pray... God bless you as you share this message to others.

I love the archeology, but if you are only digging up from 100 years ago, I have my own family to tell me what it was like.
I thought Shakespeare as a, unique personage, was debunked years ago?
@iamperplexed4695 - No, it is the opposite. Those silly conspiracy theories have been readily debunked. Shakespeare, as they discuss him here, stands undaunted.
@MossyMozart So, one debunks a theorem and gets a theorem debunked in return. Sounds like a zero sum game.
@@iamperplexed4695 The anti-Stratfordians have never been able to put forward a good case for the author of Shakespeare's works being other than William Shakespeare. I believe there are now more candidates on their roster than there are plays and sonnets in The Bard's canon.
The stress is on the second syllable in "papyrus". Your pronunciation shows that you have never heard the word.
That's Tony, who dis? No seriously, who are you from original?
