I was seriously injured in April 2016. I had cabin fever so bad. I came across Time Team on RUclips. This person's channel had every Time Team episode. It rescued me.
Like so many of you, I have been watching most of these gentlemen on various tv shows for many years. This is the first time I have encountered Time Team. I love their enthusiasm! Not only the Sr. archaeologists, but the entire team. Their excitment is contagious. They are funny. Very refreshing to find a production such as this in this genre that is not stuffy in the slightest bit. Love these guys. Love the find!
@@TRC2002 With the past year's Covid, and the general situation in my country (one no longer goes for a walk alone) I have to confess that I haven't kept up an exercise regime.
11:35 Paul's ability to pick up a piece of pottery and almost instantly date it, tell you where it was made, and how it came to be there, is simply amazing to me.
While I’m not saying Paul Blinkhorn doesn’t know his specialisation, scenes on TT can be deceiving. He may have seen sherds of pottery before filming it and had time to think, remember or double check in his reference materials. Apart from that, I’m sure he has incredible knowledge.
I first found Timeteam just 6 months ago. Had never heard of the show before. I felt lucky today to find an episode I haven't seen. Love all the guys and gals on the show! RIP Mick! Kelly/Indiana

Makes you wonder how many secrets the earth hides from us , so many things get lost in time, very interesting episode! Archaeologist are truly amazing people! :)
The first thing to do when you're attacked by a knight on Horseback is kill the horse. With the Normans being heavily armored once they're on foot if the Irish could stay alive long enough they could wear them out and exhaust them. I love time team documentaries.
Better to just wound them. A panicking horse is better. Keep distance, the point of armour is to protect you while you get to your target fast. You seriously can sprint and do acrobatics in full plate.
@@LadyLexyStarwatcher true but all things being equal a lightly armored man will still be faster more agile and will definitely last longer endurance wise than someone in full plate mail.
Djémila (Kabyle: Ğamila; Arabic: جميلة, the Beautiful one), formerly Cuicul, is a small mountain village in Algeria, near the northern coast east of Algiers, where some of the best preserved Berbero-Roman ruins in North Africa are found. It is situated in the region bordering the Constantinois and Petite Kabylie (Basse Kabylie). In 1982, Djémila became a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique adaptation of Roman architecture to a mountain environment. Significant buildings in ancient Cuicul include a theatre, two fora, temples, basilicas, arches, streets, and houses. The exceptionally well preserved ruins surround the forum of the Harsh, a large paved square with an entry marked by a majestic arch.
Sort of. First, horses in general were smaller back then, so a large or "great" horse of that time wouldn't look like a modern draft horse. There were destriers/chargers/war horses, but not particular breeds of horses. They just chose horses of good size with more muscle and stronger bones, usually stallions. Even so, their destriers were expensive, and not all knights could afford one, so they used an "all-purpose" type of horse. It's probable that Clydesdales et al. have destriers in their ancestry, but no one knows for sure.
@@fleadoggreen9062 not really... and I like how britts try to make their ancestors look “strong and dominant with the best armors and weapons” while trying to make the Irish look weak and ill prepared (which if you know history actually then makes the britts ancestors look incompetent because they not one time actually defeated or took over the Irish and their homeland)... also this show is EXTREMELY deceptive with how they show things they show a guy trained in shooting a bow and arrow shooting the Norman bow while they have a guy who doesn’t even know how to hold a bow straight shooting the Irish bow when in fact the Irish were one of the most (if not the most)accurate efficient and effective archers in all of Europe... also when in came to the Calvary of the normans (or really anyone) and the foot soldiers of the Irish the foot soldiers wouldn’t have thrown their spears at the Calvary men because would be a complete waist and you loose a weapon instead they would let the Calvary charge and then at the last minute drop to their knees lift their shield over their head (to protect against Calvary sword or spear) while at the same time either taking out the horses leg with and ax/sword or using their spear to stab the horse either in the front or the side regardless it would cause the horse to fall either toppling the rider to the ground or causing the horse to fall over onto the rider crushing and/or killing the rider
I just love Francis and his enthusiasm, but i'm not too sure about it at the start of a dig, i wish he would take a page out of Mick's book and temper his enthusiasm a bit and do a little more planning.
Does anyone know anything of it's floriographic meaning? I'm still searching, but from what I've found thus far, valerian represents readiness & an accommodating disposition, but red valerian is a separate species with nothing written of it in the first places I looked...
(I'm no plant or flower expert by any means, but I've taken an immense curiosity in floriography, of late. I'm not sure why, but I want to learn all about it! 😊)
Found it! It bears the meaning of facility (as in an aptitude or ability to learn,) and also has proported folk uses for protection, purification, and sleep. Thanks again!

The British system of scheduled historic sites with strict limits on the amount of excavation that can be done seems to be at odds with the desire do you understand the various sites, their layouts, and their historical significance. Sometimes the site administrators seem to be petty dictators jealously guard their fiefdoms and prevent any real significant work from being done. While that does not seem to be completely the case here, you can still sense that the limits imposed are preventing them from getting a full picture.

For England during the civil war you guys need to do a story about a seige cannon known as Humpty Dumpty operated by the English for the King. And in that story hunt up the wall or church tower where it was for 2 weeks to lay siege to the Parlimentary troops
I actually swore at the screen when they didn't show them. Yeah, I get it, he was at a real disadvantaged but skill is a serious game changer. Apologizes to my SO for waking them in the middle of the night...
It always amuses me how weak britts try to make the Irish and Irish warriors look while at the same time trying to make themselves look “bigger and badder and better” .... so considering nobody ever managed to fully conquer the Irish does that just mean the Normans and the britts were just horrible at warfare and fighting since according to them “the had the better equipment in every facet” yet still couldn’t beat the Irish
Time team: how can we possibly date this site Time team: throws animal bones to the side instead quantitative of carbon dating Time team: finds an artifact and “dates” it by looks
Carbon dating is expensive, prohibitively so for a tv show, also the "artifact" is what people care to see. If you do carbon dating it has no flashy things to show, so people get bored or simply dont understand it.
They are experts of dating via looks, and carbon dating is more expensive. I’m sure they hand over the bones for future excavations or they have them dated off camera.
I could have lived without the stereo typing Irish warrior BS. They had mail too, they used swords as well, their shields were not bucklers, they didn't dress in peasant garb to fight wars. That whole sequence with Mat was complete BS. And that wasn't a farm tool and throwing axe ffs.
Nuther good point, throwing axes are really good against sheilds because you can bounce them up off the ground. I was annoyed they just cut off as they cut off the face of the Saxon. I woke my SO up yelling at the screen just now. XD
@@LadyLexyStarwatcher also if they were getting charged by Calvary they wouldn’t throw their spears the would let the Calvary charge and at last minute drop to their knees lift their shield to block any blows by the Calvaryman while at the same time taking their ax (to chop the horses legs) or their spear to stab the horse in the front or side ( and we all know what happens when a horse starts to go down while at full speed with a rider on it).... also if I’m not mistaken weren’t the rising among the most (if not the most) deadly accurate and efficient archers in Europe at that time and sought after by essentially everyone for their abilities with a bow

Well, for one thing, the castle location bears a striking resemblance to the de Courcey lands in Noandy!
The horse of the Norman knight around 38:00, would it not be a stronger horse such as a clydesdale type rather than a "standard sized" horse?
Sort of. First, horses in general were smaller back then, so a large or "great" horse of that time wouldn't look like a modern draft horse.
