I never saw these on TV, so every time I find a new one (for me) I'm excited. I must have watched 50 episodes so far, over 2 or 3 years, and I have to say this one has turned out to be my all-time favourite. That's because, apart from Phil and his flint-knapping, none of the Time Team regulars know much about stuff from 200,000 years ago, so they had to bring in experts on flora and fauna. And what experts! - from these distinguished folk's investigation of the smallest of clues - snail shells, wood samples, fish bones and the like - as well as being able to identify bones of larger animals, we learn what the local vegetation cover was like, what the climate must have been like, and even whether the Gulf Stream would have been flowing at the time! This I find nothing short of amazing. And the sight of Phil sitting comfortably and totally absorbed in his flint-knapping was the highlight for me. Thanks to all, way back then, for this very absorbing episode in the series.
Every time Phil Harding starts flint-knapping, he becomes totally immersed, even while he's talking. I hope I ever find a hobby that makes me as happy as flint-knapping makes Phil.
What makes me get lost in time is judo. I’ve. Done it since I was a child, and I’m 40 now, so about 30 years of doing the same hobby/sport. My roles have changed over the years, as I’m too old to be an athlete now. My body cries from judo now, but I still eat in the mat to do what I can, and share what I am able to share. I’m sure you can find your love. Sending luck and joy your way!
I often imagine that when Tony turns to address the camera, the others turn away because they think he's a nutter talking to his imaginary friend. "Stone the crows, he's at it again", Phil mumbles into his hat.
Naw he's still bald on top. He's had the same balding pattern for decades. That's why he wore the hats in the early episodes 🤣 #timeteamforever #missyoumick
Interesting to note they talk of vast amounts of fossils being found in gravel pits without hinting at the reason. Impressive work has been done in the last ten years notably on the Younger Dryas hypothesis, which implicates a major climatic catastrophe that took place 12,500 years ago which was responsible for killing off 95% of the earths mega fauna. Worth watching Randall Carlson's podcasts on Kosmographia for a starter!
I dont know about this particular episode, but many time team episodes are quite old and it's possible not as much information had been published at the time of filming this episode.
I really like this series but I am very upset at the attitudes of some regarding history worth sacrificing. i do UNDERSTAND the thought process but I just disagree...but live this type of education!
OMG, lolololol!! I thought the one guy looked like a younger version of himself but it took me 5 minute in to realize that it's the one host but with long black hair, lololol!!
There's a mammoth mankill site 30 mi from me, in s.e. Ariz..😃These ppl were on Both Continents. All continents? So, we're all related.#OneWorld#MammothMankills
@@suzannecrowe7775 It's a proven killing of a mammoth by humans. Mammoth remains and tools at the same place. This site here is one where they ran large grazing animals (ancient horses, camels, mammoth, etc.) over the edge of short cliff. It's in Hereford Az. The Lehner Kill site is what you can search to see the place.

You know anything with Tony Robinson will be a brilliant time! ❤
Tony is such an excellent orator. Time team is such a great team, with what seems like such amazing chemistry on screen.

I clicked because of the fabulous hair and I am not disappointed.

Wouldn't have minded hearing theories for pile of huge animal carcasses so dense and intertwined as to have been all killed suddenly together.
Haha tony what in the world is going on with that hair sir?!
OMG, lolololol!! I thought the one guy looked like a younger version of himself but it took me 5 minute in to realize that it's the one host but with long black hair, lololol!!
