Time Team heads to South Perrott in Dorset, inspired by the intriguing discovery of Roman brooches and coins in a hilltop field. The Team are pretty sure they're going to uncover a Roman Temple, but the search gets off to a bad start when all the pottery turns out to be medieval and there's no sign of any buildings. Something has clearly been going on in this field, but it's not what they thought. The trenches gradually reveal their contents, painting a very different picture from a very different
period. Have the Team stumbled across a Stone Age burial site that had, extraordinarily, been honoured for thousands of years right into Roman times? Prehistory specialist Miles Russell explains some aspects of Bronze Age features.

"I've got years to put a crop on this field, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity"= what a good man.
He's absolutely right, and what a fantastic dig it turned out to be ! This has to be one of my favourite TT projects
The pleasure on this farmer's face as he watched the digging and the shoots was priceless.
Truly enjoyed the farmer speaking to his fascination of the difference in color of earth. The coins were "you've seen one, you've seen them all", but soil...the earth he tills...that's fascinating to him. Bless his heart, he is a man of the earth.

@@olgadiulina1728 You're preaching to the choir here, Ms. Bot. Go elsewhere.
Soil IS fascinating to archaeologists too!
@@granthurlburt4062yeah I think that was the point
Hats off and thumbs up to the farmer who generously allowed Time Team to investigate his field.
After working a dairy farm for a few years, I know that farmers have it tough and need all the product they can grow. I'm sure this gentleman is no different, which makes his sacrifice all the more appreciated.
I do imagine he was kind of tired of breaking his plow over and over, at least.

Thank you Roger and Anita for inviting Timeteam out to your farm.
This show makes me feel like you could stick a trench in any field or garden in the UK and find archaeology
I don't think you're far off. I know someone found a hand axe in my corner of north Devon, nobody's dug in that area before. There is so much history, you just need to know what you're looking at.
there are certainly some places where that is probably the case, like the Peloponnese
That was certainly true when I was a student in Canterbury. In every house I lived in, I managed to pull at least one chunk of pottery out of the garden 😅
10000 years of continuous habitation will do that!
@Fionna McCormick - In a few hundred years, that ditch WILL Be achitecture! "Now, why would the early 21st Century peoples have dug this thing? Be on the look-out for the shredded remains of junk mail and soda cans!"
I’ve become a Time Team nerd. What an amazing country. You can dig yourself a new driveway and find a mosaic floor, or a fish pond in your garden and find a Saxon cemetery.
Why I love Time Team is encapsulated in this episode. A farmer, who thought it would be mildly interesting and turned into a fan. A supposed Roman dig that turned into something completely different. And, of course, my hero Phil, doing a jig over a flint scraper. Just fantastic!
been watching since i was small with my dad, once he went to prison i started watching again i’m now 21 and i watch whenever i feel alone it reminds me of him
I love the farmer's attitude. He has many years for crop growing, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I bet they payed him for any crops they damaged, or it was only like 1 or 2 percent which is way below the amount of average loss for a farm
@@lindawuorio5466 maybe he wasn't bothered by the loss due to genuine interest, some people are motorvated by more than just money.
Until there's a food shortage then it's pottery stew on the menu🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ if I said that I'd usher in an ice age... But hey ho we've broken pottery to look at 😂😂😂😂💔
Save Ukraine
@@CrusaderSports250then you've never met a farmer... someone who's money comes directly from the land. Do you know hard it is to grow crops like that? It costs money on its own to have a successful crop.
To someone who works in a office this is like someone going through their work computers and deleting a bunch of files. Then you can't replace them until next year. It's sort of like that.
Phil is a Legend!! His passion for archaeology is second to none. Love that guy. His new videos on Waterloo are really good too. I miss Time Team!
Save Ukraine
I do too. Just stumbled across this... probably the best of TT!👍
where can i find that?
Time Team has new crowd funded digs on RUclips, with many of the original team, including Tony.
Thank goodness for Patreon. For $7.00 a month I get all new material, including interactions with archaeologists. They need every member they can get to continue making more. I consider this a charitable contribution with the goal being, besides my own pleasure, a better educated general public wherever material like this is shown, which is world-wide. So much fun!
I always think how wonderful it is that local farmers so generously supported Time Team. I don't know about things in the UK, but sometimes on the land it can be a struggle to make ends meet. So I am grateful!
Incredibly interesting how humans -- over a period of at least 5,000 years -- were all drawn to the same site! When the geologist showed a "map" marking out altitudes and river routes, then the value of the location's placement became obvious.
I love seeing their various artifacts and thinking that my ancestors possibly left some of those items!
Save Ukraine
Time Team is my all-time favourite programme. I go back to it over and over, perfect comfort TV. They seemed to get such a great mix of interesting, curious, intelligent, appealing people on the team.
My first episode I think I'm going to keep watching others
Same here, it’s kind of like an ASMR thing. But I also love history and archaeology so that kicks in for me too.
And now they have a few females on site. I'm guessing they're grad students but they prove men don't have all the fun.

@@olgadiulina1728 comment not valid to video. Cretin
"Might as well call in the wrinkled professor while we're at it!"
Phil's one -liners all too often have me in stitches lol.
It is both wonderful and heartbreaking to see Mick alive. Miss him so much!
A truly benign soul.
I love how they are giving Stuart a little pastoral scene at 23:45, depicting him as a deer jumping around the fields and minding his own business.
Stuart was poetry in motion! LOL!
@@BoredCertified When I see my landscape... What do I see? History! History in motion
I have to say, it’s fantastic to see the land owner be so supportive and helpful. And what a great way for him to connect to his land.
well he DID invite them to come and have a gander
I’m just mesmerized by the countryside. Absolutely beautiful.
Nice to see the late mick Aston again.
They always managed to get enthusiastic unique people in the team.
Time team will be remembered as an icon of the era.
Awww I didn’t know he had passed
@@HelloIAmJo Yes he did.
I agree. He was so good. Esentric, with hes pink striped jumper. Miss him dearly.
It must have inspired interest in thousands of people. The7 could have continued making it for another 20 years for me! They'd never run out of places to do in Britain thats for sure.
@@HelloIAmJo 66. Young
One of the highlights of my short stint as a motorcycle dispatch rider in London, was going to an unassuming office above a row of shops in Shepherd's Bush, to a TV production company I'd never heard of, and seeing all of the Time Team team there.
The other highlight was being mistaken for a strippergram but that's another story
HAHAHAHA!! I, for one, would love to hear the other story!!
🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic
Aren't you the interesting Venn diagram.
🤣🤣🤣🙈
I think this is my favourite episode. I've seen it so many times. The site seems so unpromising but it turns into a total vindication of modern archaeological methods. It shows how archaeology can claw something from the ashes of the past and tell its story.
I love seeing Phil in his element. Such a joy seeing him discovering one of his childhood playgrounds. With Phil I don’t think you can ever have too much flint. He’s in his element with it.
Made a career out of “playing in the sand box”.

@@lh1822 So I see. And I'm still loving the original better.
This has always been my favourite Time Team episode - it has everything - drama, excitement and a great end to the dig. I never tire of watching this one!
❤️Oh my gosh, didn’t the people outlining the ring at the end make me come over all emotional!! ❤️❤️❤️
My mum always wanted to be an archaeologist only when she was young it was not considered a suitable job for a girl. So when Time Team started she loved watching it. I fell in love with history at high school I prefer industrial history anything to do with steam engines but time team make all history facinating.
My mum wanted to be a pilot. At the time it wasn't allowed.
I wanted to be an archaeologist, dug up the ground around where we live, but I got in trouble for it and was on pain of extreme punishment forbidden from continuing it... Took up drawing instead. Would love to do what Victor did (may he rest in peace)
@@KAT-ew9wz my farther was offered a job as a jockey but had just received his national service papers, had he already started the job strings could have been pulled and he could have been exempt, my mum was offered a job in the local bank but my grandfather had got her a job in the office of a local garage, the bank wasn't the sort of job for a young girl according to my grandfather, so the garage it was, its funny but if either had followed a different path I might not be writing this, life's like that🤔😊.

Fantastic find! This showed how one site could have been used for different purposes over thousands of years by different types of people. This is like an open history book!
9:53 "Geophys and the field walkers". Please tell me there is an archaeological band with this name?
15:47 and here, we see an archaeologist in his natural habitat, fiercely defending his territory...
...spoken in a David Attenborough voice...
A unique and facinating series please come back plenty more undiscovered places to dig
Hah! Looked 'bout ready to rip the bloke's ahm off and beat'im over the head wiff it! Krikey!
I remember when this series went out on our TV first . Nothing like this had been done before . It must have been a leap of faith on some ones part . These archaeologists their keenness and vast knowledge in their own particular fields of expertise , it was fascinating stuff ! It was like a detective story that no one knew the outcome ! But what ever they found , when they and we, needed to know the answer to . They had some one who knew and was top of their field. Who would supply the answer .
The British countryside isn't all that bad to look at either !

I don’t know why Time Team often moves me to tears but there you go....I suppose it’s the way they connect to our ancestors everyday lives, and how the thrill of discovery is ever present.
And i thought i cried over strange things.. How odd! Yet strangely, i think i love your soul. o.O
@@ChaosHusky I really needed to hear that today!!! Thank you!!!
@@bettygreenhansen Haha you're welcome! We must like similar stuff! Science is life lol feel free to email me!
Agreed. Hell, I'm in the US and I'm often moved to tears!
Have you guys seen the episode where they work with disabled veterans? I cried multiple times watching it.
I have cptsd and some how watching this show over the past few months has helped with anxiety. I'm sleeping better and my mood swings aren't as bad. I pray others out there suffering like me can find help, even if it's in the most unlikely place.
This is one of the most amazing digs I have seen of the team. Leave it to a Yank to not completely appreciate the subtlety of the ages, but the insights, the enthusiasm, and the solving of the puzzle is a right old 'noggin scratcher'. Thank you so much for another wonderful episode.
And exactly WHICH YANK are you referring to?
@@asilah3164 I was referring to myself, of course.
This still rates as one of the topmost enjoyable episodes! Phil managing to spot the edge of a ditch leading to a wonderful site such a joy to watch, lost count of how many times I have seen this episode.
Save Ukraine
“That’ll be so plumb, people will write books about it!”....Phil -- ya gotta love him....there’s a man devoted to his work.
Faced with drawing decomposing bodies, complete with bits rolling off into a ditch; Victor's response is a droll 'Wow'. Cool under pressure & artistic!
Time team is a great program wish they brought it back
They have! Time Team Official channel.
Phil: DAVID!!!
Tony later on: Phil, can we walk across your lovely ditch?
Phil: yeah that's alright, Tony :) lol
Protocol of archaeology: always _ask_ before entering a trench. That's because an errant boot could move something important.
@@maisiesummers42 of course
I couldn't breathe when he screamed David. 🤣 I just died laughing.
Phil’s certainly life and soul of the team no doubt with charisma and banter in spades but when he’s mad, boy does he explode!
The show rarely showed Phil’s wrath in full force of course but often left enough footage in to hint that when he was displeased he really wasn’t pleasant company to be around…
The famous sweater of many colors 😂😂 and beanie.... Love them both
I don't know why, but Phil yelling at David for stepping on his site really gave me a good laugh and made my day 🤣
David done messed up!
That would be me...stepping on other trades string lines on the construction site. Lol
His voice keeps ringing in my head
He did it to Tony himself in the first series
Not treading on someone else’e trench, especially without permission, is actually standard procedure on an archeological site, since you might accidentally trample delicate archeology or something.
These folks are scary. They know their stuff. Gives me goosebumps.
Another brilliant show! The British Island is chock full of this kind of history and archeology. I'm in awe.
Save Ukraine
I grew up watching Time Team. It made Sunday evenings worthwhile.
Well said.
One and Future King.
I'm.
KING.
SO DON'T FORGET.
We should have Time Team back on TV. I miss Tony asking Prof. Harding if he's found anything and getting the response "Ooh Arr Tony Just look at this" :D
I sometimes play the full intro to these uploads to get the old TV feel.. lol
They are coming back in 2021 :) They have been putting out promos and other stuff letting everyone know . I cant wait !
Yes, they're planning on making a return in 2021. You can support the project on Patreon.
I always liked to hear Phil use "wackin' great" as the adjectives to describe something large and/or significant.
@@davidshelow5334 "oooh arrrr stone the crows!!"
Wish we had this guy as our history teacher. He can take a boring subject and make it fun and even worth digging your teeth into the subject
this is a great episode ,a monument that was discovered by accident,which makes this my favourite episode
Phills face when he was yelling at David to get out of his trench 🤣🤣🤣
See archeological guidelines in the UK. It will es plain every ting
And… he was swearing under his breathe!!! 😂🤣
Being a metal detectorist and finding roman coins and brooches with my own hands and holding history it still amazes me.
That would be awesome! I envy people who get to find ancient things!
Amazing to hold. My uncle left me some that were stolen.
What does something like an authentic Roman coin or brooch go for? And where would you even sell such a thing?
@@clydecross1983 Most Roman coins are less than $20 dollars. They made millions of them and are made of cheap metals. A brooch depending on what it is made, it's age, and design.
My family farm here in the Carolina's is on a former Cherokee village. I find artifacts in my yard all the time. It's exciting knowing no one has held something man made for at least hundreds to thousands of years old in their hand. And close by there's pits of white clay which must have been used for the pottery and in another area piles of flint used for making arrowheads. Very fascinating place to live. No poltergeist. They must have been happy.
Honestly, if you go for a walk almost anywhere in the UK, if you look carefully what you are walking on you will find history. I have found a few neolithic tools; hard rock or flint, sits comfortably in your hand, always has a razor sharp edge with obvious the indentations as seen in Phil's handywork. Makes you wonder that when the Egyptians were busy building pyramids, our ancestors were busy stalking deer and planting crops!
Yep. Egyptian Civ is stupid old along with China and Sumpter and the like. They did have advantage of never being under the ice as well. England they have skeletons and stuff in caves from before the Ice age then huge gap as ice came and left so England had to be abandoned and then a return.
That was brilliant! Oh what I’d give to join a team working on these digs! Phil’s so in his element, his excitement is palpable and so contagious 😁
Wish this would have been on tv when I was a youngster my life would have gone in a different Direction ,so fascinating
Oh that last bit with them all standing around the circle had me in shivers.
What good luck they had with that first trench. It unlocked the secret of the entire site. A few feet away and they would have missed the whole thing. You got to love archeology!
Archaeologists need luck - apparently if the discovery a few years ago of Richard's III's bones under a car-park only came about because the excavators cut through his ankles - a few inches the other way and he'd still be there complete with his feet.
Makes you wonder if they missed something bigger a mere few feet away?
A long time ago, I saw some Time Team on Amazon Prime I believe...only a season of USA episodes....This made my day finding this!!...Such beautiful country and the stories come to life...Along with age comes appreciation I guess. I will be watching each and every one!
The forming of the ring with the team at the end is fantastic. It somehow venerates the site once more and gives the human aspect to it.
Wonderful stuff
If you watch to the very end, they begin executing what we here in the USA call "The Wave" right before the feed cuts off. 😀

A human henge. Really helps to visualize it. And Tony is such a great storyteller.
I'm a yank and I love hearing y'all speak english. 'tis a gift.
Funny thing is they spoke like us and then changed it so they didn't sound like us. They gave us imperial measuring and changed theirs to kilometers.
@@txjellybean3772 we don't measure distance in kilometres
@@georgeh-w5041 yes! you're so right! What a stupid mistake. Thx
@@txjellybean3772 we still do some units in Pints also depending what is being measured
I love American accents!!
“Geophys and the field-walkers” sounds like a band name 🤣
I felt Victor’s little “no” at @38:13 in my bones 😂😂😂 when the boss comes up and tells you to scrap it and start again!
I love how disinterested they are in medieval artifacts. I'd be stoked to find something from the 19th century in my area
I've seen some really interesting stories of castles from the Middle Ages on Time Team, but never before had I seen one with a place like this one. It contained countless thousands of years of prehistoric and ancient use.
Save Ukraine
Countless thousands of years of use? I understood the site was from around five thousand years back and through to Roman ( the coins). A long time certainly but nothing to suggest "countless thousands."
"We found some bone but it's degraded", "Yes there's what looks like charcoal as well", "So what do you think", "Well they could have been having a BBQ". lol
This poor farmer - “Think we might have a 10’x15’ shadow of a building here.”
Time Team - “Sweet! We’ll set about digging up five acres of crops!”
I wondered about compensation?
Owner looked like there wasn't any ;)

Guy is a fantastic presenter and Roman expert. He demonstrates genuine excitement for his craft.

He has his own channel on here
Also love Paul, the pottery guy.
It's so refreshing when the speaker gets straight to the point. Thank you.
Thanks to Time Team I've learned so much about my ancestral homelands. Hello from America to all my cousins which is about 20% of Great Britain. 🙂
I love The Time Team! LOL Phil yelling at David for stepping in his trench is a no no! Hilarious!
I've learned at least one important rule about archeology from watching Time Team episodes and that is you never set foot in or on someone's trench without asking for their permission first.
@@bunnyslippers191 lol especially Phil's trench hahaha
I'm laughing so much at how obvious it is after when Tony and Mick ask really clearly if they can walk accross!
The farmer he's laughing at the time team getting his field dug for nothing unless they bring the clay to the surface but he is getting it riddled and the stones and all the large plough destroying objects removed.
@@Dal606BBN after watching years of time team I've learned that give Phil a shovel and somewhere to dig and he's happy.
😂 lol Phil shouting “DAVID!!!!!” So intense dude!!!
I'd love to go back in time and see all the ways different people interacted with this site through the ages
My ancestors haled from Dorset. If I were to ever cross the pond, I believe I would spend time there. Quite beautiful and actually somewhat like Kansas, USA. Stay well friends.
I love archeology and this show always is entertaining. Thank you
Probably my favorite Time Team ep!! If I am just looking for an old favorite, I’ll go with this one, South Carlton (the Anglo Saxon cemetery with the man holding the drinking vessel), the buckets at Braemore, or Westminster Abbey.
The history hidden under our feet. I digger, Time Team, trowels, sweat, knowledge, artistry, scientists, archaeologists, production team and the land owner, etc, and you have an amazing potted history going back 5,000 years. Astronomical finds, and so exciting to watch the skin of an onion being peeled to reveal its treasures. Awesome 👌
Haha, after almost a year in The Netherlands, I so enjoy the enthusiasm of this team, the humor so typical British, excellent! Refreshing, to start the new year, and leave a year of many droopy eyelids over facemasks 😷✨😄👩🌾📐🧩🌾🍀💚 Good luck!
I went to waylands smithy, the old site near the white horse, I put a 20p piece in the stones, just like hundreds of other visitors have over the years, I imagine the Roman's did the same as they passed this site all those years ago.
Sounds right. Mound still there then seamed the right place for local spirt/god put a coin in for luck. Earlier still just a mount put some pottery in. All based on group before them they knew little of by then.
Had a memory bench for my father in a botanical garden. It's out of state and I leave a coin at its base each time I visit. Funny to learn it's historical to do this.
Notice that the farmer said "big stans" (big stones), that's how we got names like "Stanley" [ "stan" (stone, usually a standing stone) + "ley" (field) ].
That is really weird! When I first left school and went to work on a farm ,one of the tractor drivers was called Big Stan !
I’m pretty sure he said big sand stones
Ah, interesting. There is a new subdivision in my city called Stonefields, in an old Quarry.
I miss this show so much, I'd love to see it back with a new generation of raw, tv-naive, archaeologists and academics, maybe another storyteller or artist to pull it together on camera (Neil Gaimen-esque?). Imagine the fun they'd have with latest tech - drones and cgi - plus the latest geo-phys. Are there still stories to tell? I think so.
Only just found out they're bringing the show back via Patreon! Yes! Please go support them if you can, will be a joy after this lockdown to see a new team making new shows once more. Light at the end of the tunnel 😊
They did, continued it with a new team and drones and stuff, and somehow it wasn't as good, or as intelligent. It went off TV soon after. If they try and float that bit, you'll see what I mean.
More modern geo physics go back to farmer mystery spot for another look to.
@@lesleyhawes6895 What show are you talking about? The Time Team reboot is presently going on, and it has never been on TV at all. It is funded by fans through Patreon, and can be watched worldwide for free on the Time Team Official channel here on RUclips.
I really like time team. Tony I like also, no harm intended to tony . He reminds me of a lovable Hobbit on speed😂😂😂

@@mattsadventureswithart5764 good stuff 🙂
Great episode. I love the ones where even the professionals are surprised by what they find.
Hope you have the Skipsea episode lined up for the not too distant future.
It is very insightful to remember how such a few clues revealed a distant past. Modern life rather expects us all to expect 'huge discoveries' when in fact the smallest/briefest of glances reveal so much more beneath our feet. Wonderful.
What an excellent and clever remark, to first determine the ditch all around the site, so that you can go from there, digging&dreaming.
This approach of work, from day 1, in a sort of higgledy piggledy manner, is something I've watched happen often, in Britain. It seems, that first enthusiasm, excitement, and "I have a dream..." feeling takes over, with each one following his own track in mind.
Then, slowly, it seems that heads are clearing, sobering up, and finding a down to earth approach, pun intended. A sensible one. 😄
Don't forget that these programmes are heavily edited to create a "story". A great deal of preliminary work goes into each dig before they commit to spend the time and money on using up a valuable three-day shooting slot on a particular site.
Love Tony’s enthusiasm always makes this program for me
I'm drawn to the program for knowledge it conveys . Time Team is always spot on
Make history exciting,love thease guys.
Always back for Phil's accent! Thanks for a great series.
You know you're in good old England when it's mostly overcast and windy yet the host calls it a 'spectacular day'.
It was a nice day.....
Looked like a fantastic day tbh
It's Britain. It's always raining.
@@Ballinalower . Obviously not.
I would call that a good day here to lol.
Love the show. Maybe you can write off the loss of product? In America I think they are pretty good about that. I have notice that there is frequently archeology in an, amonst the islands of trees as well. I am assuming the area is more apt to retain water and thus the trees? GEE, those shear bolts require a huge amount of force to brake then, several tons I would presume. WOW such lovely hills and country side. Your prodigal sons, America.
I Never saw 'this' program before!
It's strange how America doesn't show these types of programs- Unless you're interested in 'Public' television- and even then......
Thanks for putting THIS out there!!!😉
Oh good, you’ve discovered a 40 year old series. Aren’t you clever. It’s been on youtube forever. It’s also on amazon.
You've got 'The Curse of Oak Island' on History lol what more do you need?
I stumbled across the team in brancaster. Had a great look at all the finds. I asked what are you looking for.
Well we know the Romans were here but were not sure what happened next.
Glad I found them and thanks for letting me have a look around
Been a while since I watched Time Team. Discovered the show on RUclips, watched them ALL, so it's nice to see an official channel! I clicked thumbs up and subscribed right away!
I love this show! Britain had so much going on down through the ages. Very interesting and exciting that they found Neolithic and Bronze age artifacts in the same place!
Cool, not what you expected to find, yet with open eyes a different story appears
That sure is some pretty countryside you got there in England. My ancestors all came from England to Massachusetts first and then on to the "Western Reserve" in Ohio, which has the same kind of countryside.
I always appreciate the less showy finds like these.
I still know people who leave coins/buttons/medals/bottles at old holy wells or 'fairy rings' for 'luck'. Its traditional rather than religious. I would guess the Roman coins and brooch pieces are the equivalent.
Yep certainly. Roman's still have a bit of Shamanistic at the base with dryads and the like as stated here not unusual to respect the older holy even though they have no knowledge of actually what it was so basically for luck.
47:29 Today I came across this episode again. I had forgotten that I had commented almost a year ago. Once again the ending left me verklempt ♥️.
All those people outlining the barrow.... like the people who would have been there before, doing their thing. Archaeology is all about the people. And this picture has people who've grown very dear to us.... Just as people were there, who were very dear to each other thousands of years ago.

9:53 "Geo Phys and The Fieldwalkers" sounds like it should be the name of the Time Team band. :)
It would have been so funny if the closing shot of this episode was the farmer walking onto the field and yelling "My crop! What have you done to my crop!"
Confusing, intriguing, confounding, yet most of all, thought-provoking and I thank you for that particularly with a Covid lockdown keeping all at home for months.

My favorit job on this show is an ilustrator. Everyone is hard-working diggin lands but he is playing with pena to make illustrations. From many episodes, he always has space on camera 😅
First time I've ever seen Phil lose his temper. Always smiling.
