Sound issues aside, this is one of the best. Everyone really gets stuck in, all shoulders to the wheel, and the sense of reverence for the dead is palpable.
One of the most enjoyable and interesting of the early classic shows. You feel as though you are right there with them making these discoveries for the first time. It is fascinating to learn and see how our early ancestors lived and buried their dead. There has never been another program on TV that the viewer got to actually get down in the trenches with the Archaeologists as they did their work, showing and giving such great history lessons and educating you on Archaeology all at the same time. I miss the old shows. The new shows just basically tell you about an Archaelogy site which had been dug, show you what was pulled from the ground. Other than that, you may get a history lesson. Why in the world did they change the old platform of the shows. No doubt money related. They don’t have to hire as many Archaologist, specialized experts to give their opinions on site, costing them much less money on production costs. But, it will come back to bite them in the rear. The only reason it was on TV as many years as it was is because it had very high ratings and the public loved it. I have watched some of the recent shows, and quite frankly, I gain more from watching other Archaeology specials/documentaries. I wouldn’t be surprised if the show doesn’t get cancelled within the next couple of years. I know that time team has had to have thousands of complaints just like mine.
Phil should visit some of the Native American tribes, especially the pueblos, and have them make some knives and other tools. They use flint, agate, chert, obsidian, and other related stone to make their tools even today, and often use a flaking method rather than a concussion method. Until the colonial period, metal working was only found in middle and South America, and the Great Lakes area of North America. The tribes in these areas usually worked with gold, silver, and copper, using stone hammers to separate the metal from the ore. The metal was worked cold instead of melting and molding.
If you have a choice between using an area that had been a graveyard and being an area that is prime land for lodging or horticulture I'd choose a roof and a full stomach. Bones aren't the person, just scaffolding.
"the largest Bronze Age burial site in Scotland" and they are going to built tacky houses on it. Am I the only one that thinks this is very very wrong.
yank1776 There here are so many sites. Should we have left all there and not disturbed the graves they would completely go. All in all humans did the right thing with this site well recorded and materials that future technology can go to the museum and re-analyze. The site itself under houses will in future be scan-able by new technology. Who knows someday in our bodies chemistry all our past is recoded and archeology of our human ancestors and all our ancestors back to prime Mom ‘bacteria’ , will be scan-able. And maybe if humans can hold their society together and if ‘time’ is a place in the cosmos we may well scan back in time and see our beginnings those ancients still there laying stones.
Celto Loco And at least in Europe they keep a close eye so that when sites are discovered they will go and do the archeology. In the states the developer would have the bulldozers on site the minute the ink dried on the sales contract and to hell with the archeology. When you think about it, in the vast amount of TIME man has been around I'd bet there's not many places a human has not been. Sounds wacky I know but when you consider the scale of time, well, who really knows for sure...
I'm glad the site was cataloged, but with thousands of people living on the streets or in unsuitable temporary accommidation and with the UK being in a major housing crisis for decades, housing people is more of a priority and rightfully so, in Scotland especially where homeless rates in somes places is among the highest in the UK. Protecting the dead at the expense of the living is more wrong. As much as i love and respect The UK's history and archaeology, every single historical site cannot be protected as much as we want them to be.
I'm grateful to all who make this Series available to us. This particular episode seems to be giving trouble. However, I found on Stefanie Harrell, the sound and picture are the closest match.
Given how protective of their ancient sites English Heritage is and knowing there's a significant Bronze Age cemetery here, you'd think development of the site wouldn't have been approved
@harrybruijs2614 English Heritage is the name of the organization that lists, and then protects, all of the UKs ancient monuments as well as anything of great archeological value. To preserve it for future generations.
My thoughts are that the fire spots next to the graves are where a Family Member would stand watch over the grave for a few days or so after interment. So have a fire at night. A local custom.
The Google Earth view here: 56°12'26.6"N 3°00'11.3"W still shows the area prior to the constructions of the dreary suburban houses that occupy it today but the Street View shows the houses in place.

I have come across a lot of the episodes where the lip sinc. was off but his one was very bad. I had to look away from the people as they were talking. It was very disturbing.

The sound not matchning the image throws me off a bit ut i love time team and so happy they started two channels of their own and doing more digs with help from fans. ❤
I don't quite understand what is going on here. In another episode a private owner of a field was bankrupted by the government insisting that not only will he have to bear the cost of all and every archeological examination but also that he could not do anything with this field for the thelfsame reason: burials. Now here a housing estate takes precedence over the burials. One asks oneself: who gave permission and how was this explained. To me something stinks.
The difference legally is that the other site was scheduled and this site is not. It sucks, but legally, that's the difference. Plus, planning permission procedures differ from city to city, much less from country to country - this show was filmed in Scotland. I'm an archaeologist - I want all sites to be studied and documented correctly - but most times legalities come first. I feel bad for the guy who lost everything - but, if he'd just changed his plans to work around the graves, he could have built. The guy who purchased the land after him did. Plus, when agreeing to buy the property, he agreed to pay for any archaeology that needed to be done because they figured there were graves there - he could have changed his mind and not bought the land. He made bad decisions, but I still wish it had turned out better for him.
Have similar rotten stone in my gardens in Portugal its a schist , it splits very easily. In fact the foundations and the lowest part of my house is built from it.
Sound sync besides the point, but the program is amazing. Too bad the bone wasn't saved because of acidic soil. Would have been interesting to see more skeletal remains.
+Esther Whittle Thanks. I wasn't sure if it was my computer somehow lagging :) But since you also noticed the out of synch issue I guess I can stop swearing at my poor 'pooter :D And yes, an awesome episode. Even if the synch issue is a bit annoying. Still.. can't beat "free" :D

People can't even be left alone to rest when they're dead! I guess money buys you all the rights you need to do what you want to whom ever you want. The dead have none and they sure as hell can't put up a fight! I hope those developers can sleep nights. I hope some thoughtless rich bastard carelessly digs up their graves one day! It would serve them right!
it would have been nice to at least put the condition they can't dig out for basements,bring in topsoil to bring the ground up so waterlines would avoid the graves.no in-ground construction allowed to preserve whats in the ground?
Close to where I live (in Sweden) they have now built a shopping centre over a huge burial site that dated from pre-Viking to the 1900's... >:( I hope the ghosts of Viking warriors and Medieval farmers come out at night and haunt the shops.
Growing up in the 90s there was a cemetery next to our neighborhood and my best friends' grandfather was buried there. Fast forward a decade or so and we had all moved to different states. They get a call and had to travel back and find a new place to rebury their grandfather because the cemetery was being turned into a gated community 😒 This traumatic event for them stuck with me to the point I refuse to be buried. I'd rather be cremated as they'll just dig up my remains to put a building on top eventually. If they even bother to relocate my remains. Not worth the trauma to my left behind loved ones. Unfortunately my friends' experience isn't an uncommon one.
I think that the stone with the hole partially drilled is a mortar. I'm in western new York and those stone artifacts are identical to the tools I find in profusion around here.
The remains were likely taken back to a museum to be curated. The UK doesn't have a similar NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act) that we do.
@@johndeeter4030 Well, the site was going to be destroyed by the housing development. So at least taking the burial stones back to the museum they could at least form an exhibit showing what the graves would have looked like to allow the rest of us to understand what was happening.
Wow but that time delay is...yeah - extreme. How did it get so bad?? And it's like it gets worse as the vid plays somehow. But - this is TIME TEAM (yay!) and I'm getting to watch it (also yay!!) so I'll deal but it's really hard to NOT watch people's faces while they're talking.

Have to be very careful with the stone because of the crack in the middle... Tony leaning on the stone with his hand near the crack so he could help pull out bubble wrap for the camera. Not Surprised by Tony doing that as he is inexperienced, just surprised it was allowed by the archeologists who know better.
@@billclisham8668 I said inexperienced, that has nothing to do with credentials. And furthermore supporting your weight next to a crack on whatever you are supporting yourself on is not an archeology exclusive for bad choices that can lead to bad results.
Could they not make this area into a monument or something to show respect? I understand the need to remove the bones and grave goods so there would not be any corruption of the site .
Not all countries have the same regulations. If this wasn't a scheduled site, then the landowners aren't bound by preservation laws. Here in the States if it is important in our history, the archaeologist can nominate for it to be on the National Register of Historic Places and then would likely be protected. But if it was on private land, the landowner can do whatever they want with it (if not receiving federal funds).
that was nearly 10 years ago. wonder if the houses were built? And when FRANCIS himself was digging, it must have been really very important and very urgent. actual tone and sound are totally out of synch. wonder how that did happen?
I would think the adult male under the capstone would be more along the lines of a religious leader of some sort, the type of person you would want to be near your (late) children rather than it being a mayor of some type.
If the area produced bronze age artifacts before, why is only this area being investigated? They didn't know who the people in the cemetery were? They were dead...ha
Just a thought. Couldn't it have been 4 siblings that died one after the other at a too young age and eventually dad died too and since he was beloved by the family left behind he got such a fine burial?
CologneCarter And they never seem to consider how winter might affect burials. Another episode, they wondered why people were buried together. Maybe, the community digs the hole before winter, and they have to set bodies in as the people die.
I would say that it's a possibility but the fact that the subadult burials were the only ones to have grave goods and the adult burial didn't point to the high possibility that it wasn't a familial burial.
Anything that shuts up dangerous man I suppose. He speaks about protecting businesses as if they didn't need healthy, educated fairly treated human beings to in order to operate.
people from English Heritage are always talking about scheduling places, and here is a place they actually don't give a damn about? It's kinda infuriating.
@@andershansson2245 I thought English Heritage was responsible for any historic places in Great Britain, which I now realize is not the case, Historic Scotland is the organization that should be giving a damn about it. But thanks for pointing out, I made that comment 2 years ago while binge watching TT, so I clearly got confused.
I'd say it's hard to say that it is "likely a family." Familial matches in cemeteries such as these are less common than one would think. The demographic makeup of the cemetery, as well as the differences in grave goods associated with the individual graves, points to the high possibility that it was an individual of high importance within the community who was buried with the adolescents. This is seen in medieval Romania but was rather a female buried with subadult (mostly baby) remains. So we could potentially draw parallels but with the caveat that this is thousands of years difference between the time periods and thousands of miles different too.
Couldn't you people declare him persona non grata or a security risk, a biohazard, something? Say the badgers maintain a vitally important series of dens that crisscrosses his building site. Of course, I'd really like you to keep him somehow. Cryogenics>
It's either that or let them be destroyed. I'd rather us excavate the burials and learn as much as we can about the past than let them potentially be destroyed for good.
The way Phill lights up when he holds flint with a sense of wonder is always great to watch.

First aired March 9, 2003.
here you can literally kist the Gravestone
There have been a few episodes from this season that the sound has been a bit off. Just pretend it's an old kung-fu movie! lol
Is there anything thing I can do about the sync problem with Season 10? Every episode has the sound behind the picture by a few seconds.
Sadly not. Only the uploader can fix that.
I just ignore it because I love this series!
Could they not make this area into a monument or something to show respect? I understand the need to remove the bones and grave goods so there would not be any corruption of the site .
Not all countries have the same regulations. If this wasn't a scheduled site, then the landowners aren't bound by preservation laws. Here in the States if it is important in our history, the archaeologist can nominate for it to be on the National Register of Historic Places and then would likely be protected. But if it was on private land, the landowner can do whatever they want with it (if not receiving federal funds).
No, the skeletal remains have not been 'destroyed'. They have been chemically broken down by the soil.
Second episode in a row without Mick??
The road to leven is called standingstain road and there is also a standing stone there useless fact for u
Swedish for stone is sten and pronounced stain.
@@ianrutherford878 and German is 'Stein'.
not like the kinda red wine stain stain, but with a sound like the i in grime.
@@emilychb6621 Yeah ,I got a GCSE in Deutsch.
Stane is also Scottish vernacular for stone
There once was a church and cemetery at the end of my road, now there's a block of flats, money talks the dead don't. 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Did you attend and support the church?
...bag it and tag it and keep diggin
that was nearly 10 years ago. wonder if the houses were built?
And when FRANCIS himself was digging, it must have been really very important and very urgent.
actual tone and sound are totally out of synch. wonder how that did happen?
You found the look alike bowling ball, which was probably the SK's chosen tool
I would think the adult male under the capstone would be more along the lines of a religious leader of some sort, the type of person you would want to be near your (late) children rather than it being a mayor of some type.
If the area produced bronze age artifacts before, why is only this area being investigated?
They didn't know who the people in the cemetery were? They were dead...ha
Just a thought. Couldn't it have been 4 siblings that died one after the other at a too young age and eventually dad died too and since he was beloved by the family left behind he got such a fine burial?

And they never seem to consider how winter might affect burials. Another episode, they wondered why people were buried together. Maybe, the community digs the hole before winter, and they have to set bodies in as the people die.
I would say that it's a possibility but the fact that the subadult burials were the only ones to have grave goods and the adult burial didn't point to the high possibility that it wasn't a familial burial.
A pity they're going to put up cheesebox housing on this ancient site.
With this program I ignore their faces and just listen to what they are saying! It is much nicer this way
Audio synchronizationis really bad.
It seems like a lot of these videos are out of sync
Anything that shuts up dangerous man I suppose. He speaks about protecting businesses as if they didn't need healthy, educated fairly treated human beings to in order to operate.
people from English Heritage are always talking about scheduling places, and here is a place they actually don't give a damn about? It's kinda infuriating.
This is in Scotland
@@andershansson2245 I thought English Heritage was responsible for any historic places in Great Britain, which I now realize is not the case, Historic Scotland is the organization that should be giving a damn about it. But thanks for pointing out, I made that comment 2 years ago while binge watching TT, so I clearly got confused.
Or a Forest fire came thru one summer and left the layer of burning
The lag is really bad here....
It started with a Kist....... and ended with a Kist of death.
the sound doesn't match up with people
It is very disconcerting that the sound is mis-matched by seconds.
Likely a family, and with modern advances in DNA research a time will come (if it isn't already in 2018) where possibly we could find out.
I'd say it's hard to say that it is "likely a family." Familial matches in cemeteries such as these are less common than one would think. The demographic makeup of the cemetery, as well as the differences in grave goods associated with the individual graves, points to the high possibility that it was an individual of high importance within the community who was buried with the adolescents. This is seen in medieval Romania but was rather a female buried with subadult (mostly baby) remains. So we could potentially draw parallels but with the caveat that this is thousands of years difference between the time periods and thousands of miles different too.
Sigh. All stone age material in the USA is few hundred years old. 😔
Personally I don’t see how they can build on that site. Would you live in one of those houses? Not I.
Trumplethinskin would build a golf course on the site.
and he would have bulldozed the burials
Couldn't you people declare him persona non grata or a security risk, a biohazard, something? Say the badgers maintain a vitally important series of dens that crisscrosses his building site.
Of course, I'd really like you to keep him somehow. Cryogenics>
The audio and video are out of sync, way out.
37:53 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
A Kist planted, with burning desire
I think they should leave all the graves alone ,
I agree. They basically came in and destroyed a sacred burial site.
It's either that or let them be destroyed. I'd rather us excavate the burials and learn as much as we can about the past than let them potentially be destroyed for good.
The site was not going to be left alone- the developers would have bulldozed and destroyed the whole site without rescuing anything.
Sound out of sync with film
Am I the only one finding the audio and visual not matching. What needs to be done to fix this?
Smile, fix a nice cup of tea, and enjoy the episode.
haha I agree Michelle
