#TimeTeam #Dinosaurs #Mammoths
Stanton Harcourt is built on a series of old river channels where the River Thames flowed 200,000 years ago. At the site of a local waste tip a huge number of bones belonging to a range of extinct animals have been found. The Time Team come to aid local diggers in locating the exact river channel, which will subsequently allow them to reconstruct the ancient landscape.
Time Team is a British TV series following specialists who dig deep to uncover as much as they can about Britain's archaeology and history.
This show has been a godsend during lockdown. Going stir crazy at home was made so much easier by twenty series of this wonderful show. I was hooked from the very beginning and it’s great to see these on YT for everyone to enjoy
I discovered *Time Team* during the lockdown era, too. Are you following the new digs? It'll never be the same, without Mick and Victor. I'm glad Sir Tony's schedule is clear now so he can resume his duties as presenter.
Hope you didn't take the jab ..for "freedom "
Gotta be season 1 or two - Phil and Tony both have color in their hair, and Phil's hat is clean and the feather is on the left and clean. Phil's hat is a pretty good indicator of which season the episode was shot. (Good ol Time Team training)
Jase Walters You’ve done some good work but I’m afraid we need to know the exact season, episode, and original airing date. And as usual you have just three days to find out!
@@highdesertutah Well since you asked so nicely It was season 3 episode 2ish. (I just happened to see it on another site) original airing date you will have to find for yourself, I have seen Phil use an axe, drink and make beer, and he has several shovels. I DO NOT want to make a man with those tools, and skill set a
@@highdesertutah skill set, angry! (sorry computer screwed up)
As listed in the description this is Season 3 Episode 2, originally aired in 1996.
@@TimeTeamClassics Don't tell Phil you are blurting out how long ago that was! He has a flint axe! Better buy him a couple of pints!
I see what people mean when they mention Tony’s dig site etiquette improving over the years. Here he’s just leaping into trenches on top of bones.
Everyone seemed to be treating those bones cavalierly (Hong Kong or otherwise), though. Kinda surprised me, too.
Still working at Yoyodyne?
@@haplessasshole9615 Buckaroo!
He WAS a squirrelly little guy back then, wasn’t he?🤔
All this talk about Phil’s hat but let’s take a moment to marvel at Mick’s striped sweater.
Striped sweater? I think he or his wife knitted. I've seen striped hats and fingerless gloves. Not sure about seeing a scarf.
I love Mick's striped attire! It's like his signature.
@@nerine9301 , I saw, on one episode, striped socks too.
@@corneliawissing7950 He was a colorful guy!
@@nerine9301 Indubitably!
Thank you Time Team for making these episodes available in such a great quality! Love you guys!
Wow! Look how spry Phil is in this video! I absolutely love the Time Team and watching their videos!
I absolutely love Time Team! Sitting here in my house -7 outside. Time Team is a wonderful escape from cabin fever, and a education to boot.
those computers look like the ones the mammoths used.
who all loves phil?
As an American, I have watched HUGE amounts of British TV/movies over a long time, and his accent is uniquely strange to my ear. Where did he grow up that he sounds like that?
@@minimaker5600 he grew up in Wexcombe, Wiltshire, UK which is West of London. In one of the things I most love about the UK, he didn't go to school for archaeology but by participating in digs from childhood in his free time and by becoming an acknowledged expert got hired into the field full time. He later got honorary PhDs. You can do that in some fields in the US, but not likely archaeology.
@@PatrickPoet How interesting that he's a self-made man. At one time the academics absolutely wouldn't allow such a thing, and you remained an outsider forever unless you were, for instance, Jane Goodall. Thanks for your answer. I do wish, though, when he got older that he got rid of that awful straggly hair :o(
@@minimaker5600 that's true here, but the UK has had a tradition of a citizen scientist as long as there's been science. Here in the colonies we had a bit of an insecurity complex and always wanted a piece of paper to verify your worth. There were some early exceptions. Benjamin Franklin lived in London (alone!) in his late teens. He only had two years of formal education but in London discovered coffee houses (which were then hotbeds of public discussion), and when he came back to Philadelphia he started something similar at 21. He never had a degree (or even primary schooling) but started a college eventually.
@@minimaker5600 I saw an interview w/ Phil either before Time Team or not long after it began, and his accent wasn't as pronounced/extreme as it is in this and most Time Team episodes. I believe, that he realized, that it gave him an "old salt" sort of credibility, and that the audience liked it, so he didn't so much embellish it or put on an intentional affect, as he just stopped trying to fit in, as many do as adults, so as not to be adversely judged by the "sophisticated Establishment" because of their regional or working class accent, so he returned to the accent and dialect of his youth.
Ya know, John is the only on who looks the same over the 30 yrs
I can't believe I never knew there was a difference between mammoth and wooly mammoth. Little mammoths? I'm flabbergasted
There were quite a few different species. Many of them without the fur coat we associate with the Wooly Mammoth.
If they were alive today they probably wouldn't look to much different from Elephants to the untrained eye.
Re: 28 minutes in. The only changes in the past four hundred thousand years has been in technology. Humans haven't changed a bit in all that time. That talk Phil gave by the way, may be the best part of this episode.
It was very comforting in a way.
@@Neddoest I agree Lorelei. When we understand each other, it's a very good thing, even if separated by thousands of years, that is very comforting.
I agree it was a great part of the episode. And Tony knew it too ... look at his grin. The man knows how to make engaging television, and is acutely aware when it happens.
The species Homo sapiens continues to evolve. If I remember right, there is evidence that human tolerance of lactose beyond infancy and early childhood evolved only in the last ten thousand years or so.
I think Phil's name should be Flint, he's living it, eating it, dreaming it. And Phil always find a way to come back to his flint, chipping away... 😄 At the 18:10 min. when he said "You realize how human they were, because...." He's a wise and witty man.
Great episode, and how difficult to sacrifice the fossils, mammoth bones, bison skulls, etc. etc. for the actual purpose of the work, to find the lay of the land and the river.
One of the reasons I love to watch the Time Team (why haven't I met them before?!?!) is the sense of humour they keep up all of the time. Rain or shine. And each episode has its own charm, it's never boring. When I would've been at this site, seeing the Time Team at work, I would've gone mad I think. I probably would've had no part in the work officially, but would've dug up mammoths, as silent as a mouse, and make myself blend in the landscape without being noticed. Until my triumphant appearance with a.....
This situation is finding a needle in a needlestack. There’s too much archaeology that theyre literally tripping over it having to decide what to research and what to skip and perhaps lose forever
r.i.p. Mick. your work still lives on in our hearts and minds.
...so young in this episode...he did what he lived. What a concept to learn from him.

Look at Tony, looking like a right California gangster from the late 80's/early 90's in the pimpin' all black outfit with the leather jacket, flat-brimmed snapback hat and the long hair, almost like a perm 😎 lol.
Tony's the coolest. I really wish they'd bring back Time Team, or at least remake it with a real dedication to the original. As an American, I was never aware of it at the time it aired, especially since it started 11 years before RUclips and only ran until RUclips was like 7-8 years old. Today these episodes on RUclips are just my absolute favorite! This and Timeline documentaries. It's what's getting me through the Coronavirus lockdowns and I also don't fall asleep at night to anything else (except for Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, once in a while... Powerful Dan Carlin!)
Omg! Tony with long hair! And you’re so right, if we superimpose a NWA album cover over a random scene from tony’s Intro it’d be an exact matchup
They're bringing back time team but I don't think Tony is involved this time round.
Remember watching this when first aired. Happy days, newly married and with our first child on the way - then the favourite show of the week on the old tele. Sunday evenings. Fantastic with multiple cups of tea and McVities Chocolate Biscuits!
What year was that,love?
Look how young they all were ❤️
It is marvelous to see Tony start to blossom into his mature narrative style there toward the end as he goes from computer monitor to computor monitor describing everyone's final tasks. Lovely!
In the very first episode, Prof. Mick sends Sir Tony sprinting up a bank with one end of a tape measure, and in an aside to the cameraman, says, "We'll make an archaeologist of him yet!" Prophetic words, indeed. One thing I've noticed is, no matter how many times Guy de la Bedoyere explained hypocaust systems to him, Robinson always managed to look fascinated. He was the ideal "entry person" for viewers.
Now if they happened to come across Baldrick's one and only pair of underpants in situ, that would have been an unprecedented archaeological breakthrough which would explain everything.
LOL, has Phil Harding been wearing the same hat for 20 years?
Or is it just the other way around?
Me too
Oi think there's summat in that!
He bought a new one at some point.
good old time team - a favorite for me
granskare Best show ever! This and Timeline documentaries.
Also Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. Have you ever listened to Hardcore History? It's unreal! Nobody tells history like Dan Carlin does. He just makes it incredibly relatable and understandable and super visceral. He's the king of the historical narrative.
The quarry owner is a really good human being helping to find this information. Time team fans are every where.
I could watch Phil making flint tools for hours.
Every *Time Team, Time Team Special* and most *Time Team America* programmes have been posted on YT by *Fillask, Reijer Zaaijer* and this, the _official_ *Time Team* channel.
Very cool. Even saw mick with a trowl in the dirt. Never seen that before. Like seeing a unicorn in the wild:)
That illustration by Victor at the end is amazing!
Ah, back when the crew was still doing it and the hair had color and hills they still conquered in a sprinting leap or two.
Is Tony wearing one of those hats with the hair attached to the inside?
No.. that was how he was in the 90s
Lmao that’s how it looks!
The tree in the mud scene made me remember the Seahenge episode. The team trying to move it out of the tides to preserve it vs the group who wanted it left where it was.
I'm curious, what happened after the show? Are they still digging? Did they find the mammoth who the tusk belonged to? Could you do a follow up show, showing what happened?
Most likely the dig continued after time team left, as it was a dig that was already under way when they got there. Whether the dig is still going I can't say. No they can't go do a followup, this show stopped filming 2014, and as this is one of their earlier episode I'd say this episode was filmed in the late 90s.
@@Skyfire_The_Goth 1996
With the new Time Team programme going on now, it would be nice if maybe they'd do some returns to sites like these or do a follow up on what happened after the original team left. It would be fantastic nod to the original show and cast, and I'm sure there are many who would love to know what else was found.
TT attracts monsoons. And any other weather disasters that happen to be wandering by.
It is an absolute delight to watch Phil do flint knapping. His work is of jeweler quality.
That's just weather in the UK, I think. That's why everything is so green there, even in July.
I could watch Phil knapping all day.
Wild fire is tricky - so many poisons in plants. We have poison ivy as big as Rutan vine - 8-12cm in diameter running up trees ! Some nasty stuff. Oils in fires put poison in smoke !
@Martin Eastburn - I know what you mean. A friend of mine chopped down a lot of poison ivy from her trees and decided to burn it. She landed in the hospital from inhaling the toxins.
"meanwhile it's left to Kristine to peg out Mick's second trench" Archer would have a field day with that phrasing.
Geofizz..does it bubble?
Yes it does, order one at the pub, they taste like an Anglo Saxon, Roman, Viking, pre-historic boot piss shot.
@time team forgive me for not knowing but are you same owners of time line that shows your episodes as well or are you the real guys from the show?
This the official Time Team channel.
Yay! New video! I love these!
It isn't a new video, it has been shown before, in fact every Time team episode has been shown before.
Yep it is older,Tony has long hair and mik,the older man with the colorful sweater if deceased. R.i.p. mik
@@fredgrove4220 New upload for this channel, which provides superior quality uploads compared to most of the other uploaders of this series, which have god-awful quality, blurry over compressed visuals and out of sync audio. I think of these as new too although i've watched all of bad versions before, because new details can be seen in these new uploads. I enjoy these much more.
Episode 11 (Season 3, Episode 2): Hunting for Mammoth, Aired: January 15, 2996
I understand that they HAD to dig this trench, but so sad that they, in the process, destroyed a LOT of prehistoric animal bones... God bless Phil for telling Tony at one point that he was not just going to pull up the bones he found, just to make the program in the time they had left... He was, like a y GOOD Archeologist, was gonna take his time and preserve what he found!
How many chunks do we need? Information is far more valuable, and archeologists will trade a few redundant artifacts for it anytime. Phil was wrong.
@@Invictus13666
But if the decision is made purely because TimeTeam is forever hasty, then that’s bad archeaology. Leave it to people who have more time.
@@Brinta3 it wasn’t. It was done to gain maximum information in the short time she had left to work the area. A couple more bones tell us nothing. Finding the river channel and matching the geophysics with the f
ground epwas more important. Nothing to do wit TT’S deadline.
Just nuts about this group of folk and this show that I discovered during lockdown. Wish I'd been along for the ride all along.
I don’t know if you guys get or read comments on your channel from four years ago, about 20 years ago my father was the city engineer of Madera in California maybe with the county engineer I can’t remember anyhow, while digging a new dumpsite, they found some bones they believe were mammoth bones and tusks just stopped them from continuing as they tried to get a hold of Fresno University, Fresno university said now we find man with bones now, and then not a big deal man with tax get found pretty often so then my dad called Berkeley university Near San Francisco in California they took on the challenge. It turned out that the tusks my dad found were baby mamma’s little bitty ones and I think they found a sabertooth wolf or something else really rare. Berkeley was thrilled. I don’t know how long it took them to dig everything out, but I believe that they believed that all the animals they found in this one site had been killed in a flash flood, judging by the way, their bodies were Situated I know there is a video about it that they did something and I believe it’s on RUclips and it was about 20 years ago anyhow do you think that that’s possibly what happened to some of the animals you found they may have been caught in a flood, and were drawn into the river and then deposited down stream
2020: archaeologists learn about proto-archaeologist when they accidentally stumble upon early Time Team excavation trench in 20,000 year old English clay layer. Their findings, "Barbaric early scientific practices, probably more religious in nature!"
When I lived in the area I found lots of prehistoric fossils
In the middle of my working career , I missed a lot of time team episodes . This was one of them . That species emigrated here from all over Europe is amazing . Mammoths ! And look at those old computers :)
This episode is ancient history. 😁
The computers definitely are!
Actually it’s pre-historic
That humans and mammoths co-existed is pretty well established...Proof would be interesting, but not really informative.
Such a spry young Phil ❤
Pollen, or palynomorphs, might be useful in identifying paleovegetation.
Everyone else: ADHD = "SQUIRREL!"
Archeologists: ADHD = "MAMMOTH!"
Tony's mullet is kinda freaking me me out.
44:35 Did they just cut out her trying to brush off some dirt and breaking a chunk off?
Those computer monitors look like steampunk.
Love time team!!! Such a wonderful show of history and culture. Bravo gents
Tony and carenza ... little bit of an awkward moment there at the start 😆, hmmmm
Yes she was definitely giving him a twinkle in the eye
She was several months pregnant and awkward on steep hills.
A bit more hair on Tony those days.
I watch these to meet people like “fish bone experts” and “dendrochronologists” because they for the most part likely do *not* attend parties I’m invited to and I want to run into them 😂😂😂
With or with out booze?😂
I would have liked to come back to this site and see if they found man and any other finds.
Do you guys not have mammoth bones that often in England? We find them in Michigan every year. A farmer found one last year half an hour away from us in Michigan.
Oxfordshire elephants!
Rest in peace Victor.
I never knew Harry Potter made an appearance on Time Team!!
@Chasing the Blue and Grey - The man who looked like a young Beatle with the shirt and tie who knew about plant seeds? He was very cool! I hope he is in other episodes.
@@MossyMozart Yeah, he was very knowledgeable I just couldn’t believe how much he looks like Harry Potter!! Lol!!
Wow just found this channel and been binge watching it, and I like it! 👍🏻
Wait a second. They're gonna destroy mammoth tusks? Damn thats sad.
Definitely can’t use Dendrochronology today!
Phil's greatest moment - making that axe like others make a grilled cheese.
Amazing really.
Fabulous.
Not too keen on discovering the river channels, would really like to see the prehistoric bones and skeletons recovered and cleaned.
I miss good shows.
God bless and RIP Victor. Your art works have given us so much insight.
Highly interesting episode, loads of science.
Good people😎
I don't understand why they are in such a hurry. Why the self imposed 3 day rule? They could dig much longer and wouldn't need to destroy parts in order to get to the "good stuff"....
@Nadia Bogo - I think it was a way to get the audience excited about each episode. Their goal - WILL they accomplish it in 3 days? WON'T they? Argghhhh! Stay tuned!
The idea was that archaeology is boring, so causing a sense of urgency might make it more exciting.
And the team members all had normal jobs and were only available for long weekends. Finally, it would have been too expensive to film for more days.
But that all doesn’t explain why they couldn’t go back for another weekend/episode at the same site.
I look forward to every new upload. I do miss though knowing the season and episode number.
Look in the notes. Season 3 episode 2.
Yeah it's in the description
26:28 I think I finally get what ASMR is about bc for some reason it’s so relaxing to watch/listen
Terrific!
Thank you
tell the age of the season through tonys hair
I never knew they had mammoth in the u.k that's amazing
Great Britain was connected to the continent in a distant past.
Two bites of a cherry? How big are you guys cherries?
Tony R is fantastic. His voice, his enthusiasm, his witticisms! So much talent in the Time Team. God bless you all. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿🙏🕊
everyone looks the same, except Tony and his hair!
Yeah, right. The " Savage " with the stone hammer and ...
playlist for series 3 are missing a bunch of episodes
It's wonderful to see Mick and Phil with Tony. They are intelligent, amiable and respect each other. When a "local expert" zips in and climbs over them, I want to hand them an especially bitter, warm beer. No Pub snacks for you..........
I love this show
Tony, you had a lot of hair back in the day...!
The coordinated paper cytopathologically provide because duck minimally queue regarding a fine carpenter. hungry, likeable specialist
Having inadvertently stumbled on these videos in the last six months here in Worcester, RSA, I have been revelling in the disoveries made by Time Team into the various archeological sites in the United Kingdom. It does not matter to me that these may be from some years ago. Congratulations to the Team and thank you so much. Jacky Powell
I’m sure I’ve seen your RUclips name somewhere else, can’t remember where though! I am glad that someone else not from the UK is enjoying this programme as much as I am. Greetings from NZ.
@@commonwealthianhistoria I have an older brother in New Zealand. Last saw him in UK in 1965 when I returned to Tanzania for a few years before coming down to South Africa.
ears
il still with long hair! and how young they are... Except Professor Aston. Already back than he seemed to have the same - hairstyle - , as he does have still many years later? I have no idea how that algorithm is working, but whatever i have on my - thumbnail - i watch it... so,one day it is the old episodes, the next are the newer ones.. suppose ONE episode no one has filmed? when Tony was made a - SIR- by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth?
SO MICK AND JOHN BOTH ARE VEGETARIANS!
One moment : Let's run an excavator straight through here, cut a trench, bugger the bones!
10 minutes later : Watch where you put your hand, there's a bone there!
They're sooooo younger WONDERFUL!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Regarding the ancient computers...back in the early nineties it took hours to download a map of my property using satellite.
first aired 14 January 1996
Tony/ Paul McCarthy? 😮
At 34:00 for those wonder wth Phil was up to...it turns out he was demonstrating "an eating technique in which food was cut with a tool whilst gripped between the jaws." suggested by marks on the teeth of the later mentioned Boxgrove man.
This is a really old episode - look at the monitors!
Oh, is this Mike Allen, pre snails?
Some consideration of facies would be useful in this context. Basically the sedimentary environments you see side-by-side in a modern braided stream system end up superimposed one above the other in the fossil record.
When I can’t sleep you are. Y go to. Not because it puts me to sleep but because it eases my anxiety and allows me to to focus on the show so I can actually drift off. I have seen every episode and adore each ones.
The whole team is brilliant nothing does it like Brit TV nowhere no how only Brit TV forever for everything!!!!!
Love from the old lady in Texas USA God bless you always and forever
