I can't get enough of Phil Harding ! His enthusiasm is boundless . His knowledge is impressive ! And yet he"s as common as an old shoe ! I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a cute comment elsewhere pertaining to the second dig - a little girl asked "Why did the Romans always live underground ?" - I though that was very sweet.
This is years later now, great show. I do wish Time Team was on yet. TV stations should have more shows like this, PBS? The food looks good, I would like to try it the old way of cooking, I think women had more power than what they say just a feeling I have😊😃
Rose Mary :I believe you are right.Pre Roman Britain clearly had female chieftans and before that the hunter gatherer tribes seem to have relied more on gathering than hunting and surely the home base was the core of early society where child care would have been paramount.I believe ,but don’t know,that suggests early tribal decisions made by women.Where did we go wrong?Thanks to your post I shall now try to find out when and how the sexual imbalance slewed toward men.I suspect religion may play a part but that is pure bias conjecture which I shall have to research . If anyone reading this can offer a reading list on this subject I love you to post it here.
I think that you would find "Tasting history with Max Miller" a fascinating channel. He frequently does Epicus and his cookbook. As to time team itself, there is "Time Team Official" that is planning to air 3 new episodes this spring. You might be pleasantly encouraged.
Where do the things go that are dug up in Time Team. Are the artifacts and geoscans all given to the British antiquities office or does it go to a local museum?
I’d love to go for a dig in Britain 🇬🇧 or anywhere actually. I live on a mountain in Northern Georgia USA 🇺🇸 and in 30 years all we’ve found is 1 arrowhead. Ugh!
They stopped building bridges and roads because the Roman army had mainly been responsible for major construction works in Roman Britain, and everywhere in the empire. As soon as the main forces were withdrawn or disbanded, there was just nobody left to do the work - the architects, engineers and soldiers were no longer available and there was nobody left with such expertise.
Why do people pick on Carenza so hard? I don’t understand. She gets beer instead of champagne here and in another episode is given a sweet with a cheeky message inside, just to name 2 instances. Wazzup???
+Christopher Bloom No. For a long time people there carried on as though the Empire was coming back. They seem to have been reluctant to let go of the Roman way of life.
+Dan Ketchum Could be the local Romans tried to keep the system together. I can't imagine the empire was ever declared over. I think some of the Medieval monasteries were originally established to preserve Roman literature. The Christian Church did a lot to take over some elements in Rome and abroad. The Eastern Empire continued for centuries, too. Interesting dissertation topic, actually. Who inherited the Roman empire?
+525Lines The Catholic Church carried on the Empire for hundreds of years. The internal political structure and hierarchy is pure Roman, they used Latin for their rites up until the 1960s. They kept tight control over the written word and preserved it in monasteries. Check out "How the Irish Saved Civilization" for the story of how most of the classical Greek and Roman literature that exists today was preserved by monks in Ireland in the Medieval Era when monasteries elsewhere were being sacked and put to the torch.
+Stannous Flouride Interesting point about the Catholic Church's role in taking over Rome's influence or network. Ancient Rome established the monasteries to preserve written work and they only later became part of the Catholic network. I thought the eastern libraries preserved more classical written works than western ones.
Actually the Western roman empire collapsed gradually. Once there was no more to conquer it eventually became a tax to death empire. Same as today, once the bloated government requires ever more to satisfy its cravings & more & more people get entitlements & more groups require free stuff & contribute less & less. Same as today.
How would our "western" civilization survive a great political and economic catastrophy ? When the supermarkets run out of food and the shops out of wares, people would have to revert to gardening food, keeping animals, relearning how to weave clothes. Within a shorter period than it took Roman Britain to become "uncivilized" again, after Roman society broke down, our whole society would ground down to a full stop and we ourselves would not recognize the life style of our grandchildren, which would be like that of our ancestors hundreds of years ago.
Wrong. Phil has long nails because he is a serious guitarist and plays finger style. He uses his nails to pick the strings instead of using a pick. He plays the Blues.
It's lovely to see Mick as giddy as a school boy!! 👏🤸🏻♀️🙏 Thanks for uploading this!!!

25:10 that’s birrus brittanicus mentioned in the Diocletian Price Edict
16:00 !!! 🤣 Robin you were the man ! Rest In Peace good sir !
Love how Phil yells I have pot! And everyone comes running.
Once again, thank you!
Anyone notice the girl who answered the door @ 1:37 is wearing a Mick sweater?
VICTORS ART WORK IS EXCELLENT ! Would be nice to be able to purchase !
There are books available. Very nice.
I used an ancient roman duck recipe that I got from an archeology magazine. It uses lovage & mint as well.
Was it good I just love duck
@@PaulMahon-w2b Yes, it's very good .
I'd cry tears of joy if someone dug up something that amazing in my backyard.

I love when Mick ends his sentences with "look" instead of a period. ☺
Phil and a couple of other people do that as well quite often. It’s fairly common, like North Americans saying ‘hey’ or ‘see’.
@@sgrannie9938
Yes, but for me it's new and I associate it with the British shows that I love.
@@baskervillebee6097 oh, I see. My apologies.
I think it's funny that the guy who's always standing in an empty pit is name Phil.
20:36 Those kids are fascinated.
36:28 it is a grass snake. It is completely harmless to humans. It eats frogs.
I know people it would scare to death 😂😂😂😂
My favorite part of these shows is the physical recreation of old artifacts. Artist's rendition of cultural scenes is second.
Victor is amazing - not only an incredible artist, but also a potter and I believe he did some sculpting in another show!
Yes they never gave him enough time on the TV. I wonder where all his drawings are now?
@@Ana_crusis Idk where his TT art is, but he does have a website.
I agree. I'd really like to learn how to use an upright loom, or even help make one. A bit limited with mobility these days but I'll have a go!
@@eboracum2012 we're never too old to learn something!
In Moline, Illinois USA, we have some Butterworth's
I love a back-garden discovery. :)

40:14 "Draining all these impurities out of the furnace should leave pure iron." WHACK!! Good one, Tony.

At 47:45 is that a Black Adder?
29:30, 'Elf n Safety turns up to scotch the party.
The rock walls were so thick, it seems like it would take substantial effort to make the walls of the villas disappear...
32:56 The chap laying there doen't seem quite so chuffed somehow.

First aired November 22, 2002.
When the British people found out that Rome fell did they go around destroying any thing built by or owned by a Roman?
Christopher Bloom Anything that could be looted, was. There are buildings all throughout Europe that contain materials from the Romans.

How to get your back garden dug over, for free!
Anyone who needs an element of danger in their archaeology just needs to excavate an active golf course. Perhaps bring a helmet. 🙃
Ah yes- muddy scouser Phil warbling and wanting a pint after the dig, Mick doddering around and Tony pushing everyone to crack on!
phil s not from liverpool,so no scouser.
Phil is from the West Country, never from Liverpool!
@@SNP-1999Phil was born in Oxford, raised in Wiltshire and currently living in Salisbury.
where can we get the recipe for the roman oyster meal?
Nice, thanks. There were a few tentative looks and wary bites but it sure looked good.
The fluit player and other other art work on man's shirt is U.S Native history 👍 great to see,fluit player has a name he is old Native history.😊.
Kokopelli is thought of as a happy flute player, but if you talk to a Navajo they will tell you he was a disrespectful womanizer.
Mick🌈sweater ✔️
Long live the sweater 😂
Phil found an ancient potato...lol

Phil has that pinky cocaine nail he uses as a trowel .
Wrong. Phil has long nails because he is a serious guitarist and plays finger style. He uses his nails to pick the strings instead of using a pick. He plays the Blues.
