another great one, and with a great owner whose crops and topsoil you aren't spoiling! his pigs won't mind the help rooting about and his chickens are happy too! lovely I hope he finds more in the future and can set up a tourist spot with some little b&b spaces and paths near but not on top of the archeology. all too common the good stuff is underneath even better stuff that needs to be preserved as well. (catacombs etc)you can't rip out a church or a mosque to find what's under it... pig field is perfect, and good for him for letting them run around and root on their own. I'd recommend clover and fava or lima beans for breaking up the soil, fixing nitrogen, attracting insects and for fodder, but I don't know what fits in your climate. They're easy to plow in when time team gets back. Peas can work too. I hope to travel and see this place someday. I'll need a handy map you could put out of time team's previous digs and which ones might still be active for visiting. I still thirst for some "revisit" episodes of places people have continued. 3 days is ridiculous compared to thousands of years but I understand the studio and public are involved...

It would be ignorant to presume that modern humans were the only ones on the same land. The land was used per generations and many chased off. I am impressed of the finds. Very informative of a highly used area for many different forms of living.
So many huge fields, so few farmsteads-who is doing all the work? Hardly ever see a tractor or harvester or cows or sheep. Seems strange to me. Love the series!
Not in that part of the country. There it's mostly arable farming. North and West is more pasture. Scotland and Wales have more sheep and cattle than people - by quite a large margin...
Not strange at all. If you're going to let time team dig, then you're probably going to let that particular area fallow. And you also wouldn't want your livestock to get injured, or damage anything or anyone. It's an archeology show, no real incentive to show the work being done on the farm when the focus is on archeology. You're seeing three days worth of filming (at least 24 hours of footage) condensed to less than an hour.
Swine Team!! (A group of hogs are called a team) The farmer's Porcine Archeologists deserve a big round of applause! They located AND cleaned the tesserae! "That's some pig!"
Of course chickens like archeology-- they're always pecking in the dirt! A bit more fond of the bugs they find, but suitability impressed with potsherds Also, did Tony comment that the chicken archeologists would have to cross the road to get at the next dig site?
Dorset was once the land of the Durotriges tribe. They had a city called Durnovaria. When the Saxons came, they called it Dornovaria and then Dorchester. They then called the area Dorset. So the name still to this day a reference to the Durotriges.
My mom's dog didn't last a week after she passed. It would have been better if they were buried together. But I can't imagine the paperwork and the lawyers fees...

I spent three years in England. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting something 500yrs old or older. I visited an English friend who lived in a cottage that was first registered in 1100AD. Continuous human habitation for longer that 877 years. Boggles the American mind.
Bronze age - Iron age - Roman! … my property (Connecticut, USA) was supposedly occupied in 1636 and all I've found is a couple pigs teeth and two pipe stems. … I had to buy the property of a 17th century neatnik!
Colonial residents. There were Native Americans for centuries prior. The Theroy of the Land bridge and uce free corridor is being overshadowed by a sea coast immigration along the West coast. There is a village dated 14,000 Years Before Present at the southern tip of South America.
I've seen birds swoop down on the furrow as soon as the plow has passed by, so I'm not surprised the chickens go for the trench. Digging churns up worms and insect larvae, so they're coming for a snack.
Baldrick learning advanced mathematics is about the most funny things I’ve seen. Baldrick counting beans. 3 and that one. Lord blackadder. What does that make. Baldrick, a very small casserole hhh epic stuff
it almost seems that you can just dig anywhere in the UK, esp England, and find a historical relic or something! I know it isn't really like that, look at all the dead end trenches TT digs, but Really! Just pick a spot to dig!
I really want my dog to go when I do. A little chihuahua that will have very little to do with anyone else and only in my presence. She would be miserable. We have our own sign language and I'm the only one who cares about it. It's like getting your hubby back after a brain injury and expecting him to act and be the same. In this case you would be my Bubbles.
It was a hook they made for a TV production, it adds drama but also helps incorporate a production timetable. They are looking to bring the Series back but now with the advent of other outlets for content (youtube, patreon, etc) they are looking at longer projects that would run the course of a full dig season or join in on long term research projects from time to time.
Also bear in mind that the professionals are employed at universities or firms so this is a secondary gig for them. Time Team is not their primary employment.
In addition, that’s the way Mick Aston planned the series, plain and simple. Their goal is exploratory, survey archaeology- finding out the nature of a site to identify whether it merits further excavation by local archaeological councils, for instance. They’re not there to completely excavate a site- that’s not the goal. One reason for that is that Channel 4 was paying the costs for each dig; all of that is not cheap, even though the archaeologists donated their time. In fact, in the last analysis, C4 funded more British archaeological digs by way of *Time Team* than all the UK universities put together. Shorter digs funded= more digs to fund.
If I had seen these videos, back in the 70's when in high school, I would have done two things. Start digging up the ground everywhere around Quincy WA, and have gone in to Archology, Geology, which I love as well. Don't look up Quincy WA please...
I’m guessing sites like these are found in Europe often because I don’t understand why they were in such rush to dig this up or why they didn’t seem that interested in what they were finding.
I was worried for a moment that we werent going to see Tony Robinson, who is so much better than the stiff self-important awkward presentaters we see so often.
It has been a real treat to watch Tony grow into his role on Time Team. He grew so much in stature as he learned what was happening over the years. He is probably a pretty good arciologist .
@ 3015 into the video when Tony Tony says something like “it was from this burial yesterday that I skillfully excavated this complete new (something something) beaker…” He attempted to rush and tried banging the 1700 years lodged dry as the bones it was next to dirt from the top potentially shattering it and then the hippy shook it and seriously thought there was something inside the dirt filled and dirt encrusted beaker that had been buried in dirt for 1700 years and never did it cross his mind that it was just dirt in the beaker, and said dirt washer stuck between the bottom and the dirt lodged in the top lmao.
Those new forestware beakers or any grave beaker often contain something, often foodstuffs we can only find traces of so even the dirt inside can be valuable to see what was inside when it was placed in the grave. However some burial vessels contain coins or other small artefacts, so he probably just got excited something might be in there.
@@theorganguy Thanks. Is fhe weekly cycle itself driven by financial requirements of, say, the production company, network, or distributor? Just seems as though some of your projects would benefit disproportionately from another day or three. I mean, you're alredy there, an everyone is all set up and in the groove, hot on the trail of promising evidence, but, hey, folks, it's Thursday afternoon, so pack it up. However it works, though, I'd like to offer my boundless thanks for all your work.
@@islandtimekeeper858 ....eerrm... I'm not part of the production team, just another viewer making an educated guess. The weekly is driven by having to make x-amount of Episodes per season.
The field archeologists are fulltime university lecturers and work on their own longtime digs, hence the 3day time limit which they do during the weekend. This dig had already been explored however no dating was done at the time so TT are there by invitation of the farmer to try and find archeological evidence to date any finds and the burials.
It never ceases to amaze me that so much is still left so close to the ground surface we walk on every day
Love the respect and care Sir Tony showed recovering that artifact.

"Will they fall in? Do they like archaeology?" Love you Tony
found that moment LOL
This one is fantastic I enjoy every dig then do I really like that Tony was allowed to dig the little pot out. I wonder what is inside of it.

After dark, when the team has left for the night, the pigs and chickens come out and start planting "artifacts" in different parts of the fields.

Sounds like a porcine conspiracy to me.

Was it really buried secrets ? Or was it just not known until they dug it up.
Is that serious?
Romans must have had way more stuff than the previous and later civilization in Britain, they left a lot of artifacts behind.
They built in stone, which survives time far better than wood.
