    Okay, because there is so many comments about the three day limit, here is some information. Mick Aston had a dream. He wanted to make archaeology more interesting and accessible to the average Briton. Eventually, after talking about his idea with a lot of people, it was proposed that a tv program with a three day time limit on each dig would accomplish this task. The time limit would: 1) allow nationally famous archaeologists to attend, but still do their day jobs (most were at universities) the rest of the week; 2) create a little suspense-could the goal be accomplished in just three days?; and 3) be a reasonable length of time for the non-archaeological viewers to get an idea of how a dig is done, what goes on in terms of preservation of the finds and who does that, and the importance of finding out what has gone on, before the present time. In my personal, non-archaeological view, Time Team accomplished all these goals magnificently. And they did it for 20 years!

    A little info about Phil Harding. He is from Wessex-think of all the southern counties of England that are on the English Channel. He is entirely a self taught archaeologist, with no formal training at all, but so knowledgeable, he became a very well respected digger. His digging style is impeccably accurate. He is also a world know flint expert, and knapper, again self taught. On Time Team, against the posh accents of many of the others, Phil’s Wessex accent stands out as very different. I am a 79 year old American woman, who is a proud Anglophile, and I love to hear Phil give Tony a hard time, as the difference in their accents is classic. In a field that is known to draw eccentric personalities, Phil has definitely found a home. At the time of Time Time, he is so well respected, he is a lecturer at Wessex University. I wish I could have met him, as well as all the rest of the Time Team experts.

My notes from a History Hits episode are very detailed, including Phil’s reaction to the sarcophagus, as opposed to bare bones, and that Mick is “really chuffed” about the inscribed stone going into the textbooks!😁

    Being pre-Roman Catholic, it could be that the burial was a synthesis of paganism and Christianity. Viridius could be a local incarnation of The Green Man, who many believe to be the root of the story of Jesus. It could very well be that late pagans or early Christians would have viewed a Viridius-like deity to be one and the same with Jesus, making conversion somewhat unnecessary bc they would have perceived Jesus to be the same figure they were already worshipping. Just speculation, but the Latin 'viridis' is the root of 'verdigris' which is, of course, green. This cannot be a coincidence.

    If "Viridius" means "mighty, great", is it possible that it's actually a title that Romans used for God when they converted to Christianity? Maybe at least partially to throw the pagan Romans off their tracks by letting them think Viridius is just the latest deity in the pantheon?
    Fair warning, I admit that I have a habit of letting my imagination run away with me, but the active conversion of individuals and societies from paganism to Christianity fascinates me. I'd love to know the thought processes of these people.

      If you take a coin for example, leave it outside for a couple years, then go to the same spot and look for it, you wont find it. Because grass, leaves, dead bugs, any organic matter will break down into soil and the next years vegetation will grow on top of the old. Do that for 1600-2000 years, and what you have once seen on top of the ground, will now be quite deep

      I see why they all holiday in Spain, France or Greece. As an American I find it cool that they can visit another country in the same time it takes me to fly from Chicago to Texas. But, that’s one thing I did notice there, Europe in general, they don’t get how expansive the US is.

    Does Phil have a non-standard English accent? I know there are many English accents but his sounds distinct! I’m here in California wondering!

      Phil is from Wessex, and it is definitely a none standard accent.

    @ the 46 minute mark, the Red area is a natural island, initially chosen by the people who occupied the island. The area between the red and yellow line is the area where the river encircled the island. After water control reduced the volume of water in the river, that natural island became part of the landscape.

      Tony frequently gets assistance from Mick, partly because Mick is the only one in the vehicle who has the vaguest idea where he is going!😁

      It’s pretty simple. The archaeologists were doing these on their weekends- they all had and still have their regular jobs to go back to Monday morning. So the actual dig starts Friday morning and ends Sunday evening, roughly once a month or so. In several episodes, Tony actually states what day it is: “It’s four o’clock Sunday afternoon, and we have an hour before we have to present our findings in the village hall…” etc.
      And who planned it that way? Mick Aston himself. They were always intended to be evaluation digs to find out the basic nature of a site- it’s not, and never was, meant to excavate the entire site; frequently they were there to find out if a site could be scheduled or protected, or excavated further by the local council.

    • @leecarlson9713
      @leecarlson9713 5 месяцев назад +1

      The 3 days time limit was partly to enable expert archaeologists to do the dig, and still attend to their real jobs at universities. Also, it was a gimmick to catch the viewing public’s attention. Mick Aston was basically the mastermind behind the show. He wanted to make archaeology interesting to the average person, and show just how amazing a history the United Kingdom had. Personally, I think he accomplished all his goals, with flying colors! But, yes, there are many times I wish they could spend more time, and I envy the local archaeologists who occasionally get to continue a dig, after the three days.
