@@ghomerhust Absolutely agree. All the more interesting is the tongue in cheek way the Time Team used to lambast John mercilessly. Great humour mixed in with the archaeology.
This is a wonderful addition to the time team programming. It’s such a treat to discover all the amazing work being done in the world. Being in the US, it was great to learn about the dig in Oregon! I had no idea this was going on. Amazing to discover evidence of such an ancient culture here in the US. Thanks ever so much for all you folks are doing. I’m proud to be a supporter!
The Univ. of Oregon came out and mapped the rock shelter at my place in Oregon. Most of what they found was from Indigenous occupation, hunting, and camas harvesting. It was fascinating to learn about!
TIME team suggestion. I’d enjoy a full episode discussing the advancements in geophysics. How the technology and resolution has changed. Limitations, ideal use situations etc. With some technical explanation slightly dumbed down for us non-PhDs. To think the very first TT episode when the biggest success was Geophysics revealing of the building layout or the water bottle counter weight on researchers back for balance
We absolutely loved seeing Orkney in May. I am in love with the Stenness site. We were there too early to visit the Ness site, but we were thrilled about it all the same. Someone please hug John Gater and buy him all the ale he wants, in gratitude and kudos from a couple of American fans. Well done!
while i do adore Phil immensely, he is getting up in age, and i think he's decided to hang up his boots and hat. this kind of work is NOT easy, much harder than what Stuart and John do, especially with the knees and back! he's given us many years of wonderful entertainment and insight, i think maybe we can let the old fellow relax with a pint and kick his feet up from here on out!
@@ghomerhust hes younger than Tony and we got him back, i know digging in a trench might be a bit much for him but he could come back as some sort of walking archaeology encyclopedia lol. maybe work with Tony on the bits hes doing, thats a double act i could watch all day....
Phil's done a number of videos for the Wessex Archaeology RUclips channel but after decades of digging his back and knees are pretty shot. There's a wonderful life size sculpture of him in the Salisbury museum if you ever get to go visit there. But yes he's mostly done now.
WWAAAHHH I'M SO EXCITED!! You guys mentioned the Rimrock Draw Archaeological site that's in my region! I actually had the privilege of going to a local community talk by Patrick O'Grady where he explained what they had found at the site. At the time the carbon dates hadn't come back yet so actually hearing the dates is new information to me. Thank you so much for including Rimrock Draw in today's news!
Great to see John rightly being proud of the Ness of Brodgbar-The Orkneys must surely be the Northern Stonehenge and the source of legends about mystical isles across an impassable sea full of mists, wild currents and deadly whirlpools. There is a rich history of pre-colonial North America that I am pleased is being investigated to hopefully further research into humankinds ventures out of Africa. Great bulletin and more full TT please!
As an Oregonian and a Native. I love the digs here that are broadening and deepening our understanding of our ancestors. I can't wait to see the full report when it is ready.
A brilliant effort. The "Team" I am certain is going from strength to strength which gives me great joy. I am certain Mic would be proud. I share John's achievement in part from what little I have done in my profession in roughly the same time. Please keep on keeping on. The Time Team have done a great deal in boosting my moral during difficult times over many years. Knowing Tony is now involved has pleased me greatly.
I really enjoy the opportunity to catch up with the latest archaeological news via this format. Discoverer of the Ness of Brodgar . . . John Gater rocks!!!
Yea! I showed up multiple times in the background on the Abby segment! It was a fantastic dig and everyone was fascinated as the in situ floor was revealed and Hugh realized what had been found. I was inspired to join Hugh’s dig last year in Crowland and this year in Cerne Abbas after watching every Time Team episode on RUclips during COVID lockdowns. I am looking forward to joining Hugh and his great team next year, and will of course keep following Time Team.
I live in Titusville Florida, and in the early 1980's, an ancient burial ground was uncovered during construction of a subdivision. The bodies were buried in a bog, and date back to, I believe, about 7000 BC. It would be fascinating to see you cover and share this. Originally, they reported the DNA was European, but have since changed their minds. It's called the Windover Dig
Ah, our Dani Saturday. Love your reporting Dani, and your enthusiasm for the past. Good to see John. Fifty years of geophys? I’m in awe! The northern settlements like Brodnar are fascinating. Why did people decide to live in such hard areas for survival?
The Ness of Brodgar is indeed fascinating. The artefacts display a remarkable level of sophistication, I was wondering about the carved stone balls. The shaping of these would require a level of craft and expense of time which would preclude the possibility of thier being used for anything but a very necessary purpose. The carved axehead, using the natural striations of the stone (knapping) is truly wonderful. Perhaps the knobbly balls were used medicinally or as chiropractic technology. Interesting! Great stuff, Team! ⭐👍
I'm really enjoying the Time Team News and thrilled for John Gater. I hope there will be a bit more in depth look at the Ness of Brodgar in the future.
This was a really interesting programme. Such variety! I especially liked the piece about the footwear. I am so pleased you are also including information about what is going on in other countries. Even for those not directly involved in archaeology, it certainly expands our knowledge and understanding. My thanks to you all - and I look forward to the next one.
I first found out about Orkney via a children's book called Boy with the Bronze Axe. The story was based in Skara Brae. My then 6 or 7 yr old son read that book to pieces, literally.
I went to college with Patrick O'Grady back in the 90s. He was a grad student and I was undergrad. He's a great person and a great archeologist. I'm glad to see his work recognized.
The 1st segment was so interesting in its own right of course, but also because I am re reading the Brother Cadfael books and a look at a monastery, especially Benedictine is really a treat. And, living in Oregon it's a treat to see this segment. Well done to the entire team. Oops, can't forget the finds. How interesting and what a huge amount of work.
I'm from Oregon too. I loved the Brother Cadfael books. I went to college with Patrick O'Grady and helped with the zooarcheology on the site he did for his dissertation. I love this new show and really love Time Team.
I notice your tomatoes in the background, Dani, and as a keen gardener myself, I'd love to know more about what archaeology can tell us about gardening, rather than agriculture. The mention of the cloister garden in this episode, and then the repurposed 'plant pot ' fascinated me, but we don't often hear about evidence of gardens. What might have grown in those plant pots? Where and how did people grow herbs and flowers in the past? What do we know about the tools people used? How have advances in environmental archaeology opened new doors in this area?
“Balls” in Orkney are probably weights used in weaving. Making fabric had to be done constantly. Loom weights are found all over in different materials, shapes and sizes.
I'm excited to have heard about the dig in Oregon. Beautiful state. I'll have to do some research. Thanks, Time Team. So happy to hear of John's work. I didn't realize he discovered the site.
Orkney looks so amazing, I hope to visit one day and enjoy some of the wonderful archaeology. Thanks for the link to the donation page, I'm happy to support this fascinating new discovery!
Archaeological news from precolumbian America is always very welcome information. Hopefully we'll hear someday that someone has found a cache of birchbark Mayan codices... 🤞🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for covering international finds. As a North American, we have theories about early migration and settlement, but they are being undermined by archaeology - thank goodness!
Excellent work, more please! One thing I've realised - archeological digs (and in another way analysis) is BLOODY HARD WORK! And thanks for inspiration - last month I walked the Cotswold Way keeping my eyes open for finds. Nothing much. A piece of orange Roman thermal tile, too big to pocket! I then did the Peddars Way and Day 1 - A (circa) 5,000 year old flint arrow head. Absolutely pristine, absolutely beautiful!
My 5 penceworth on those carved stone balls is they are to do with loom weights and yarn. Wound with yarn, in figures of 8 for example, preserves a skein of essential cloth threads, especially wool in northern Scottish Islands, prevents unwitting, and allows for a much longer bolt of cloth to be made than a looms height. Also the oils and waterproofing of the yarn would be preserved. Essential in inclement weather or sea faring. And the oils would polish these stones beautifully, helping preserve their beauty for all those years before being found. The Orkney peoples extracted the most out of little, and often made everyday objects beautiful as we would desire today. Its our loss time, sand and tides have left us so little remains of the colour and artistry they made of their world.
Fantastic help! Thank you Dani (and team)! FYI, had the bug for Archaeology pretty much since the first ever Time Team episode. My late wife was a professional Archaeologist too, so you can perhaps understand my addiction, lol.
Catch up on the first episode of this brand new feature here: ruclips.net/video/Az5CN3gHcXs/видео.html

More more more!!!!
Maybe make this a patreon member feature, starting to wonder why I pay my fee as everything is free on RUclips
Wow! I never knew John Gater discovered the Ness of Brodgar. Absolutely brilliant work. Much respect.
there's a reason John stays on the team, he's damn good at what he does!
@@ghomerhust Absolutely agree. All the more interesting is the tongue in cheek way the Time Team used to lambast John mercilessly. Great humour mixed in with the archaeology.
I had no idea it was John either. What a catch for the guy who taught us all what geophys is and does.
I'm really enjoying Time Team News. Dani is a wonderful presenter!
Thank you all for another wonderful episode. Prehistoric findings from outside Eurasia are always so fascinating to hear about.
Seeing John is like seeing an old friend! What a light he’s been in his field.
Many fields..........
I was featured in the intro! OMG guys I'm so freaking flattered that you would include me that way. Thank you so much it means the absolute world!

So glad to hear of John rightly blowing his trumpet…..that’s a real legacy we are all grateful for
I’ve watched Time Team for years and was sad when it finished. Now I am so glad it’s back

That scene where they were the first to see the floor plan of athelney Abbey in centuries is something I'll never forget.
Definitely!
John you’re the best ! Favorite cast member from way back.

Love and Husband and I are so proud to be a supporting members of Time Team! This NEW Time Team News is awesome! More please!!
Oregonian here, so glad to hear you guys mention this! There are so many incredible finds here
Really love the archaeology news from around the world!
This is so great! Just what we need to help us follow world archaeology!
Lovely to see John Gater, one of my favourites, and looking so well. Many thanks
Well, I can die happy now.
So glad to see the Ness featured!
Love this new series!
Absolutely another great episode!
I'm really looking forward to this episode👍 Norway and Orkney have always been close friends 🙂
Me too. It is all exciting!
@@TheInternationalist01 In the words of Monty Python, let's not bicker and argue about who killed who! A new Time Team is a happy occasion! 🎉😂
Loving the monthly news. Perfect!
I really love the Time Team News 😀 ! Please keep it.
What a delight! Wonderful presentation by Dr. Wooten. By Jove I missed Time Team!
Oh, this is wonderful!! Thank you so much for making this available!
Love time team. Bring back Phil! A national treasure.
I think he is retired. :-) He deserves some peace and quiet if he decided to not be part of the digs this time around.
while i do adore Phil immensely, he is getting up in age, and i think he's decided to hang up his boots and hat. this kind of work is NOT easy, much harder than what Stuart and John do, especially with the knees and back! he's given us many years of wonderful entertainment and insight, i think maybe we can let the old fellow relax with a pint and kick his feet up from here on out!

Thanks for letting us all be a little part of this amazing work.
I love this new format-I think it will be broadly popular as well.
Exciting to see the new format, building upon the great Time Team legacy. Thank you, all.
the more info the better! love these, please keep these going!
I really enjoy the opportunity to catch up with the latest archaeological news via this format. Discoverer of the Ness of Brodgar . . . John Gater rocks!!!

The northern settlements like Brodnar are fascinating. Why did people decide to live in such hard areas for survival?
Well done Dani, as always. This is a great addition to Time Team, enjoyed both so far and looking forward to more.
thhis to me is one of the most important programs
Thanks for that. Been a Time Team fan for many many years
Wow those sandals were fabulous I hope mine look as good in 10.000 years. Ha,ha!
I’m loving this format and proud to be a Patreon right from the start - please consider joining, it’s dead cheap and you get so much more content!
The Ness of Brodgar is indeed fascinating. The artefacts display a remarkable level of sophistication, I was wondering about the carved stone balls.

Great stuff, Team! ⭐👍
I haven't seen Episode 1 yet, but I'm already hooked. Old friends and new friends, what could be better.
First of all, Yay Oregon! My home state ❤️. Obviously, that is a famous Orkney massage ball! 😅 Love these news stories! 🎉
I'm really enjoying the Time Team News and thrilled for John Gater. I hope there will be a bit more in depth look at the Ness of Brodgar in the future.
Enjoyed the updates and learning familiar voices from Time Team.

Love the '99 Problems but a Ditch Ain't One' shirts.
Great episode! And wonderful to see Miles Russell again.
Love these news episodes!!!!!!
so excited at new show thank you
This was excellent! Thank you. Proud to be a Patreon member. Go Time Team!
Such an excellent coverage of archeological discoveries all over the globe. It was great to see Jon at the site he discovered.
Yep loving these updates!
Let's remember that Time Team is a global phenomenon, not just in the UK, as the type of news articles exemplifies.
Excellent to see news from N. America. I love this format. Thank you!
Like I commented on Episode #1, I really enjoy the new “Time Team News”. Thanks Dani and crew!
I went to college with Patrick O'Grady back in the 90s. He was a grad student and I was undergrad. He's a great person and a great archeologist. I'm glad to see his work recognized.

Woot for Dani!!!!
Slingshot came to mind of those polished stone balls, always loved Time Team, keep digging 👍❤️
This is all amazing.
So well presented! Proud to remain a member.
Love this News format. Mike 🇦🇺
I remember getting covered with Mt St Helens ash too, but I'm not quite prehistoric yet, lol. Thanks for all the great stories.
Greetings from Oregon! So glad you covered RimRock draw site and our museum!
Orkney looks so amazing, I hope to visit one day and enjoy some of the wonderful archaeology. Thanks for the link to the donation page, I'm happy to support this fascinating new discovery!
It is an extremely interesting place. I had five days there about fifteen years ago and have wished ever since, I had spent more time there.
