I know this is years back… but a shout out for Millie and Sue for their special appearances….Mum’s multitasking on film for all to see…just wonderful…I hope that family grew up to be a very loving one… cheers again Time Team…
Phil’s jorts are iconic and timeless 😂
That helicopter tho. Drone technology has really changed archeology I would imagine.
It’s interesting to see the progression in technology between these earlier episodes and later ones. Made their work so much easier, I’d imagine 😊
Saw this episode of TT when it was new and great watching it again. Tony,Mick ,Phil and the gang. Like meeting old friends.
what year did it originally air?

Phil and his shorty shorts... never fails to make me smile.
whilst it is very much tongue incheek - I do love that its Baldrick who has contributed more to archeology than anyone since Heinrich Schliemann.
He had more hair then than now !! Much younger too. To me Tony Robinson will ALWAYS be Baldrick !!!
WOW! I never knew that our Southern Cross was EVER visible from the Northern Hemisphere. That’s my new fact for today. Thank you. I love this series… so much to learn! Down here in Australia we love our Southern Cross. We can actually use it to determine north, south, east and west in the middle of the night.
Tony is the host and the banter is good natured to be entertaining.
Corded Ware and Bell Beaker, (AKA Funnelbeaker), cultures are closely related, and were the forbearers of both the Yamnaya, and Mycenaean cultures. Their origins having been traced to the North Pontic Steppe, which places them squarely at the roots of European Civilization. The Bell Beaker People of ancient Europe, were one of the earliest forms of advanced culture, anywhere on Earth, and warrant further scientific investigation.
Very interesting. I also study ancient cultures and find the subjects very intriguing
Hey
Okay I don’t now
Yamnaya was earlier than the Bell beaker and they were rather the destroyers of the old European culture which was in many ways much more advanced then those Indoeuropean hordes from the Pontic steppes. The only thing they were “advanced” in was making weapons and spreading diseases.
Really, I remember Funnelbeaker where the original inhabitants of Europe, Corded Ware being the Yamnaya Indo-european invaders. ..🤔
I have not seen this episode in a cows age. Glad it still exists.
Today I learned a new way to gauge time … a cow’s age. I love it!
@@amazinggrace5692 approximately 2 1/2 pigs ages if that helps....
@@patrickwentz8413 Lolol! You made my day! Much love 💕🐝💕🇺🇸
Still rather watch all these repeats then the new one. Cant do it without phil and those short shorts
Get a room.
@@larryzigler6812 don't threaten me with a good time.
@@slothythebadger7726 NEVER !!!!! That's Phils turf.
The new one is boring without all the interplay. That was what allowed them to lecture without sounding pedantic.
I honestly tried to watch the new one, with all due respect. Didn't work.
A later expedition led by Dr. Bunsen Honeydew found the remains of several proto-muppets. Dr. Honeydew’s assistant summarized the find as follows: “Mi mi mi mi mimimimi mi mi mimimimi mi.”
@Beian Foster - Cute.
Don't worry, Sherman and Mr. Peabody are still on it
A heck of an accomplishment in only 3 days. Very entertaining!
Hi everyone from the Time Team and Odyssey I'm watching and sharing with my eldest daughter Amber and we are from all the way down under from Mount Gambier in the State Of South Australian.

Aussie Aussie Aussie! - I'm enjoying the show from over in WA 😁
Hi from South Eastern Australia between Canberra and the coast. Blessings, Dot
After the Beaker People came the Conical Flask and Clamp-Stand Peoples, gradually making modern science what it is today.
Not to mention the pipette and Bunsen burner offshoots of course.
Sort of like how Tenacious D and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups came together... makes sense....
Peak nerd. Well done sir 👍
I would love to see something that goes into detail about each era of settlement here and what's been discovered over the years since this is clearly quite old now.
Yes, and include details of the DNA, which is available, as David Reich, PhD, Geneticist, Harvard, has managed the DNA Mapping of Migrations globally.
His work proved that not all are "Out of Africa". His work "Peer Reviewed" and "Journal Published". He repeated the proof data 3 times to confirm.
Respect that man immensely.
It was painful watching the local archaeologist and his students move those rocks.
They needed MATT, he could have gotten the students moving. Haha
Thanks so much for posting.
I love the explanation for GPS... which we now all take for granted (as well as cell phones).
Wonderful introducing & informative video About Bronze Age People in Spain
I am so glad we have a much more clear picture of what happened in Europe from 6000 bc to 400 or 500 bc than we did when I was in school 50 years ago.
it fascinating finding out about the progression of people that went into creating the Europe of today, swarthy, blue-eyed hunter-gathers, dark haired, dark eyed, olive-skinned stone-age farmers, pale-skinned steppe-herders and their migrating descendants each mostly replacing the previous culture, but not completely and all of it happening before they had any way to record it except by their trash and funeral practices.
can you imagine the heroic tales told and forgotten by history?
Dude, Tony, WTF?! "We were expecting more muscle than glamour." Dude, WTF???? Glamour??? GLAMOUR?!?!? WTF?!?!?! The level of disrespect is UNREAL.
Calm down, gently saying that they aren't muscle bound! Skinny arms you know...
More pottery than all of the UK. I don't think this area lends itself to plowing!
I love this show.
Time Team is also a great journey through the history of technology!
Where fun. Thanks so much for your good work.
Fist time I have seen this episode. All round good, but that Site Manager has done my head in. His fave words seem to be - me, my, I, but I,….. like a petulant child.

Featured snippet from the web

Most scientists agree that Neolithic agrarians were the first people to construct a monument on the Stonehenge site in approximately 3000 BCE. The site was then built upon in later phases during the Bronze Age by the Beaker People, a new population of people who arrived in Britain around 2500 BCE.Oct 30, 2021
27:25 within sight of the mainland? It is over 110 km from Ibiza to Dania, which is shorter than the distance from Palma to Barcelona. Within sight?
Thank you.
Oh the '90's fashion flashbacks 😂😂😂😮😂😂😂
You sure could have benifited from a drone-mounted camera on this one!
Drones weren't readily available, nor were cameras small enough to mount on one when this episode was filmed in 1997, but they certainly would have benefited from one had the been available.
what is a clappaire?
At least in the area of modern day Germany the Beaker People, were soon succeeded by the Erlenmeyer Flask People, or so someone told me.
This is site just made for Stewart Ainsworth, with geophys out of action because of rocky ground, and other factors restraining modern technology, he would have been in his element with his pencil, paper, ruler and plenty of 'Lumps and Bumps' to look at, he would have been in his version of heaven in this dig.
I must have missed the location of where the dig is. I went back, and looked thru again, but it must have been a minor mention. In my mind, it is either Italy, or Greece.
It'd be the prehistoric site "Son Oleza", which is named after a nearby place on the island of Mallorca in Spain.
Try watching at 1:30
Tony said something about the helicopter being the only one in all of Mallorca. Islands off……?
This show was before DNA showed the Beaker folk had replaced the Neolithic hunter gathers on the British Isles and actually built Stonehenge.

Phil’s feet! Good lord man. Are they sliced from the rocks? His heel. That’s a working man’s foot there.
Just hanging off the side of a cliff digging for copper with no shoes. Another day at the office.
Always we have 3 days lol
1998 February
We have come a long way, Baby!
- "People that had just left the Stone Age!" - Yes, some 12 centuries ago... HAHAHA
Plastic disk we haven't been using for the past 10 years lol... They went out of use way before this guys predicted...
RUclips inserted an ad for the newest Indian Jones movie, which happened to show him wreaking havoc in a storage facility, All I could think was "He really is a terrible archeologist." Thanks for the cognitive dissonance.
well the ancient Persians had sophisticated water delivery to water the hanging gardens, so that technology is ancient, and anyone who had traveled by. water to the Middle East would have heard about it and maybe understood it. And maybe the Romans had learned from it too. Or did the Persians learn about it from common ancestors of the Bell Beaker Culture people? we don't know. if the library at Alexandria had not burned down we might. Oh well.
I think the Computer viz expert thought about throat punching Sir Tony.
3 days to do archaeological digs in a difficult terrain ???? Thst is crazy!!!
Ya just hafta find a carving that says MI MI MI mi mimi
Looks like Southern California
Same climate type-Mediterranean.
I don’t get why you don’t recruit archaeology students from the universities
Most of these students were from Spain and didn't speak English.
After watching this series for years, I find the 3-day time limit to be archaeologically irresponsible...
.....seems like if you have been "watching for years" you would understand that this program is NOT designed to do an entire excavation of the sites that they choose.
The purpose of the three-day research is to determine if additional exploration and research is viable for any particular site. Tony clearly states in the opening that
there has been research at this site for 30 years. Time Team is only there to determine if it is an important enough area for further investigation.
I think - and hope - they cheat a bit on that deadline.
Urban Urchin is absolutely correct.
As an Archaeologist, I find that time is limited as is labor, and of course funding is always limited. It is impractical to just flip a coin and hope for a good place to dig. The Time Team is doing the most critical aspect of Archeology.
They are finding the "sweet" spot to dig.
They have the scientific reports that were generated by this show on the Wessex Archaeology site. It wasn't just a show, actual science was being done.
Then go away.
LiDAR?
There’s not enough rocks there.
They were keeping people's attention and continue people watching their shows. It all comes down to money.
Thank God I found my favorite channel. They were try to give me Nazis.
It's ashame that most of the film was nothing but talking. 2 seconds of digging. Nothing sinifficate was found.
💚💙
I love tony and Phil. New time team stinks 😣
@Paul - On the other hand, I love the new incarnation. Partly because it does not have Robinson in it. I always found him annoying. He is much better in his solo projects.
I apparently share DNA with these people.
You made out with the Time Team?!!
This guy look like a Val her or some sort of cartoon bird. There’s one he looks exactly like I just can’t place it
Spoler: half way through the dig it's not 2*c nor raining. And professor mick is miserable.
10:49 These White legs have never seen the sun.
started me thinking about Carenza's creamy thighs without even clicking.
They have been in the sun before just not as intense. Also, most of their digs are done in pouring rain. I take it that you have never noticed how often they are all slogging around in mud?
Vinca culture in Balkan is older than this
yes, Stone Age people's often are older than Bronze.
@@TheShootist lol
😄😄😄😄😄😇😇😇😇liverasion uuuuu
why do all of these shows say, we only have 3 days? why just 3? what is the rush? the stuff is not going to vanish, is it? the dude has been there for 30 yrs?
The Time Team members had regular jobs too.
The digs were done on 3 day weekends so as not to interfere with their regular jobs. This has been explained many times by many people. How can you not have been aware of this?
Why 3 days only? Why not a week, a month? Stress digs..
Too bad Tony that you are ticked off and it was Mick that was chosen to go up in the chopper. He is the professional archeologist and the head of the dig. I know you want to be the head cheese, but Mick makes more sense to me.
He was kidding.
Mick🌈sweater ✔️
Of course there had to be paella and guitars... 😵💫 in Mallorca... You can do better, History Team, you really can... 😅😅😅
I wish history things would stop trying to title themselves with H alliteration. It makes it really hard to tell if they are just trying to name a thing stylishly, or if the source is actually biased in the way that H alliteration usually signifies. you know... dogwhistling and all that.
⚠️ TONE DOWN NARRATERS VOUCE HIGH PITH CHED AND LOUD!! HES A FINE NARRATOR. EXTREMELY SHRILL VOUCE. ON MOST PF HIS OTHER VIDEOS
Entertaining but...a bit dicky 🤣
It’s ridiculous trying to accomplish much in a three-day archaeological dig, even with a such a good-size group of student excavators. The claper needs to be carefully removed with a backhoe, it would take weeks to do it by hand. And why not use a drone instead of a helicopter?
Cause they didn't have civilian drones in 2000. Duh. What a stupid comment.
youre right. why dont we go back to 1998 and ask why they didnt use a drone that was only allowed then to be used by the military
1998... rumor has it that soon mobile phones will have GPS and be small enough to fit in your pocket! 😃👍
This was filmed in the mid 90s. There were no drones.
My dad had a mobile phone in 1998 called a "bag phone" that was the size of the phone book for half of Sydney, Australia.
What an absurd way to dig. Don’t pretend students could take this job seriously. No stratigraphy, no grids, no identification of the pottery pieces with location and layer…And, of course, students are as obligated to speak English as much as you are to speak Spanish.
Most probably students spoke the local variety of Catalan which is official in the island together with Castilian.
Hate that kicks girl friend carenza acts like this is her show
heh. Carenza is the show.
I seriously do not get why people are so mindlessly picky and nasty. Carenza is a professional, competent woman very good at her job. Comment on the archaeology not personal attacks.
WE don't like nasty Uneducated comments about Carenza!! you need to research her role before you make baseless off the cuff comments!!!
Utter waste of time.
Tony still likes making it like he is the most important person on the site even though he is an amateur compared to Mick and Phil. This is proven by Tony's statement "i am a little irritated that I cannot go up in the helicopter, but Mick can. Then he complains that Mick wants to take some pictures from above instead of listening to Tony's directive to land now. This is why I felt the program would be better without Tony. This is the old program and I want to see the new program without Tony.
His job is of host of the show. This was before modern 'reality TV' he was there to explain to the audience and give a bit of drama. The series as a whole would not have worked without the role he played. It's not a documentary, it became iconic because of the characters, all of them.
By the sound of it Tony did what he was supposed to do. He performed his job well because you lapped it all up. The old time team was great because of their banter
He is an actor and a damned good amateur archeologist. He's acting as clueless as the audience, to give more people a way in to understanding. The archeologists do the same thing with each other, as told to by the director. "Hey, Phil, explain this thing to me that I actually learned when I was 19 years old while I nod raptly." (Often, and you can count this up over the course of the show to entertain yourself, expert women asking the men, but then, women are trained from birth to pretend they think men are interesting, so their acting clueless and wide-eyed is seamless. It's how they go through grad school too. But they always knew the answer. It's an act. It's television, semi-scripted.)
The new show’s presenter is very knowledgeable but the narration is dull, dull, dull and takes away from the “interesting” aspect of the show imho
It's the same with contemporary reality TV today, at least in the US. The "History" Channel has Matty, their version of Tony. They're contractually obligated to end their name in "y"... They act like that so the kids have someone to relate to, without the production team needing to hire an actual kid.
The blatantly intentional diversity cast might not be so annoying if it were not so obviously intentional in every show and every movie. And no it's not "representative". They certainly wish that 80% of the population of Europe was "BAME" and "LGBTQIAP+++" but it's not.
What's wrong with you? What diversity?
@@sallyreno6296 Nothing is wrong with me. I'm not the one who is obsessed with race and gender. Why don't you ask the show producers what is wrong with them. Why do they think every show, regardless of genre, setting, location, or history, must have an ensamble cast of: one Asian, one Muslim, a black man and woman, at least one gay white man, etc?
It no longer even holds any weight trying to blame/accuse people for noticing, when every studio and production team in the world spends their days on social media talking about how "diverse and inclusive" all their shows are going to be. Then you watch the show and the first glaring obvious thing you notice is a distinct lack of native Brits in a British history show.
@John Plissken- they are literally in Spain. The Spanish people are the local people. You need to calm down, go outside and maybe take a break from internet conspiracy theories.
@@ehaweeschmetterling3309 I didn't say anything about the Spanish.
No one is making you watch. Lol Butthurt-itis?
I have to laugh at the un-professionalism of you clowns. Trying to force the helicopter down because your jealous you're not in it. Waiting for other before you dig because you're all "professionals" and manual labor is above your self implemented status. Then there is the liberty's taken with speculation in an attempt to glorify the 3 days work you put in above the months spent by the finding team.
@MelloWattz You must be a democrat since that is not at all what i said. I said they are un-professional. Yes i am more knowledgeable then docu. maker. Way smarter then you on your very best day too.
@MelloWattz The reply of someone who has nothing knowledgeable to add to the conversation. Just an unsubstantiated opinion. Did i hurt your little leftist feelings? DEAL WITH IT!
Dude, are you paid to hate? Or do you hate for free?
@@TheShootist I hate no one and nothing. Is this what the left calls honesty?
Don't take is seriously. It's british banter and them teasing each other and playing up a bit for the show. They have all known and worked with each other for years and have a lot of respect for each other even when they disagree.
