That little birthday gesture to Grace….they didn’t really need to do that…but they did…reinforces that all that positive energy behind the time team is real…such a cerebral and yet wholesome bunch…an educational show that makes me smile too…right up my alley..
Phil cracks me up, he's my favourite. Chatting up the old lady "I'd love to have an iron age round house in my backyard" 😂 I think he nearly fell over when she said he should move in 😂😂😂
I just loved the interactions between those two! 😀❤️
And the flowers Phil gave to Grace for her birthday, there was a connection there, I'm sure 😉
Phil was always the one who chatted to the locals, showed kids and adults what was going on in his tench and he was good at finding out about birthdays, anniversaries and other important things. He seemed to be the one who always had a kind word or gesture for everyone else. There seemed to be always alot of good natured ribbing between him and the rest of the team.
I wish I could sit with him for a day and wear him out with questions. Blessings, Dot
Everyone on this team has great value add but to someone like me, victor’s drawings are crucial in helping me really visualize what we’re supposed to be looking at. He’s the unsung hero and he’s sorely missed. RIP victor & mick
His artistry is so nice. His gentle sketches are truly classic!
I wonder if he has illustrated any books. Whats his full name do you know?
@@Padraigp / Victor Ambrus
He has illustrated many books and even has books of just his illustrations published. Not sure how you would find them as I'm an Aussie and he was from the UK. His family holds alot of his drawings from Time team in a trust and allow time team to reuse them
One thing you might be interested in is a time team episode called "a tribute to Victor". It has interviews from the older team members. There is even footage linked to his name and time team hash tags (#) with interviews he did answering questions like why he always drew a black puppy somewhere in each drawing.
Blessings, Dot
@@dotcassilles1488 / I didn't know about a black puppy, now I'll be looking. I just so liked his style of drawing. It is so remarkable and impressive. I wish I could have done so well. My Mom would tell me, "We all have our style, and there arethose who admire your's." Thank you for answering my comment
I love Time Team. Catching up on shows I didn’t get see, I get a little sad when I see Mick, Victor and Robin in the episodes. So much knowledge lost when we lost these three legends of archaeology and history.
They passed away?! Wow if they did I had no clue....I'm also American so we don't get info like that here. Sorry to that sad news!
It is really sad, but they created an incredible legacy with their contributions to archeology and history, and with Time Team itself. They helped inspire entire generations' interest in archeology and sharing their desire to explore and preserve the past. Time Team is one of those rare tv shows that had an incredibly positive and wide-reaching cultural and societal effect.
Robin died?
@@bryanphillips1432 yes Bryan. He passed away in 2010; three years before Mick. Victor only passed away in 2021.
I kind of quit watching the videos because the bogus time pressure bugs me I take it as assuming we the viewers can't discern the BS.
I feel much better for having dropped the occasional double-pointed knitting needle and gone bats looking for it. Maybe in 5000 years, someone will find the blasted thing.
I love how they incorporate the art of ceramics into understanding history it makes my artsy heart so happy
Phil is such a charmer.
That’s a stunning place to have a home. That view. You can see back through time.
One of the best episodes covering so many periods as well as the amazing potter making all those incredible pots!
Wow, I just love this series! So positive and affirming. Sorry to learn most of the team has passed on, but I certainly appreciate all the education they have passed to us.
I am enjoying learning about so many different aspects of archeology.
But, lol, the historical illustrator just said, "Oh, I am just sitting here fantasizing about what could be going on in the garden."
😂
So wonderful for them/us to know the lineage of place. I love the vibe between Phil and Grace🙂💗
I was thinking the exact same.
My first time seeing this episode, but wow, what a treat! I think it's my new favorite! This wholesome, informative show is definitely my favorite way to unwind after a long day.
Isn't it wonderful? I think it's got to be one of my top two favorite episodes ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been watching Time Team for many years, this the first time seeing this episode!
was just thinking that!
I've seen it before over on time team's channel.
me too!
Ditto!
What serendipity for that lovely old couple to find the ancient roots of their property.
Fascinating! What I also admire are the many other artistic duscliplines with which they bring to amplify their findings: the potter reproducing iron age pottery, etc. In another episode the Roman surveyors versus modern methods. Quite apart the vast historical and archeological finds in the British Isles.
What beautiful little houses and location. Very interesting findings. I love the drawings of what it could have looked like long ago!
This episode was absolutely fantastic! Such wonderful finds.
One of my absolute favourite episodes. Thank you!
"An Iron-Age Roundhouse and a Henge"
Time Team S07E04 (January 23, 2000) Channel 4
I’ve watched every TT episode, all 20 seasons (plus the 2021- reboot) several times, and I’ve decided that this is my favorite. The interactions with Grace, the obvious fun they were all having the whole time. Plus the setting, of course.
I have been following the episodes on YT for only a year. I knew about the series, but never had a chance to actively having a go at it and watch. This is marvelous and this on in particular! Thank You Odyssey.
Time Team has its own channel on here as well with new episodes.
Possibility THE VERY BEST educational show on any continent!
Tony and team’s 3day adventures are the best binge watching you’ll ever get…it’s interesting
Thank you time team…continue on….
From White Rock BC Canada….cheers
Yay! Thank you for posting this, love Time team!
One of my favorite episodes.
Awesome work and awesome discoveries. I loved the pottery and firing experiments too. What a wonderful view of beautiful land these homeowners have. And .... drum roll... a modern septic tank sitting inside an iron age round house! Thanks Time Team! Thanks home owners! :-)
This was a really cool find by the Time Team.
My favorite episode. What a beautiful place
I think I'd love living in UK. England especially. I love how green and open the countryside is. The fields with their hedges and stone walls.
I might have an issue with the cold, and the winters, and the mud, and snow, the grey skies and constant rain... After rethinking it, maybe I'll just stay here in sunny Australia. It's green here when it rains and we have beautiful clear blue skies, and a warm breeze. Beaches and swimming pools.
I guess it doesn't matter where you live, somewhere else always seems more intriguing.
It's not as rainy as you think. If you are curious, move there for a few months
@@stinew358 I'd love to spend a year in England. Not a big city, but in the country somewhere. Be a dream come true. I'm about 4th or 5th generation Aussie, but we came originally from England. My mum's maiden name was Oldham. And my dad's last name is Irish-Scottish and the first mention of our name was a reference to the Red King (I suspect Viking). Apparently, 13th 14th century he ravaged the British fleet, burning it to the waterline.
So, I have some kind of history from the UK. Maybe that's why I feel drawn to the UK.
I do wish we Aussies had history like Europe. Fascinating stuff.
@matthewpocock4824 we do..just different. Australians tend to underestimate our archaeology.
Thanks so much for posting!
This channel is absolutely fantastic!!!
Time Team is always trying to raise money to finance their digs so why don’t they put all of the beautiful sketches of every episode in a coffee table book (with enough information to jog our memories) and sell them. I know I’d buy one. It would be a perfect birthday or Christmas gift too for any TT lover.
Brilliant idea. I'd love to have a TT book over a Patreon membership.
@@MLife1972 I have a large coffee table book called GHOSTS ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI with pictures and information about the major antebellum homes in Louisiana that I love. That’s what I was thinking about when I mentioned it.
@@YvonneWatson-ff5ex That's a good looking book and I think that would really suit Time Team. I can't recall if the artist stayed with the show because they started using a lot more CGI and animation but it would be a great coffee table book for us fans.
GREAT work Time team your all so amazing . Different finds have such varied value for all sorts of people. It's all our human history . Thankyou for being such a great value to our humanity 😊❤❤❤
These folks not only dig earth, they "dig" people too! ❤
Brilliant episode!
sounds as though Phil has a mighty sore throat on day 3.Kudos to him to carry on in the wind and cold.I believe he never missed one day of time team in the whole time it ran.
Ive been watching idk how long, I'm always amazed at how knowledgeable and precise you all are!!!
Thank you , I try my best.
Phil & Tony are both such charming flirts. I just love it!
Is it not possible that the henge was a stockade for animals? They did say dairying happened in association with the pottery, the neolithic was the age of domestication and husbandry...it just seems practical and sensible
Barney Sloane...Did his parents have a sense of humour?
...Probably not. (Blarney Stone)
I live in Australia but my ancestors are from Great Britain. So many of their mannerisms are just like mine and I feel such a kinship with them all.
What an incredible site! Medieval, Iron Age, Neolithic and some 20th century homes. What else could they have found if they kept going?
The Holy Grail ?
@@davidhocde007 Big Foot
@@davidhocde007 Never existed, did it?
This is what a history show should look like. History channel should take a few notes. Im tired of ancient aliens and swamp people
Just happy Time Team shares their project plans!
I enjoy these programs very much
Oh, what I would give to live in England! I've wanted two for decades. Coming from rainy Vancouver, I would have no problem with the weather 😀❤️
Here, sadly, anything over 50 years old gets torn down. 😭 On the east coast of Canada they respect the history and architecture better.
Anyone notice Grace’s view out the “bungalow window?
Breathtaking. Very relaxing.
I love there" lumps and bumps.
Thamks
Great Potter James😊
Very cool
Very cool!
13.02 very very cool jumper.
My favorite episode
If that steep ridge blocked cold prevailing winds, and had streams supplying fresh water.......it would have been an ideal place for settlement.
What beautiful country!
While I love the general archaeology that TT conducts. It’s also the experimental archaeology as well. The trail and error of trying to recreate a piece of pottery from a shard is just as exciting as digging it up.
Good to see Tony still so Cherry
There's hardly a square meter in Britain without archaeology, just dig anywhere and chances are you'll get something.
A sod cutter fascinating
I also feel it. Not that it matters 😢
I love time team and hi fra Danmark
It is just like a thriller
It's cool the discoveries the team made, but I can't help but wonder about the poor lady with her yard all dug up and thinking to herself, "Now What?"
they put it all back.
Oh, they got her flowers ❤️🥲
That pottery expert - I'm the Storyteller, and my story must be told...etc
Adorable!
In a perfect world, Carenza and Jim the Potter lived happily ever after.
Don't septic tanks in England have drain fields? And wouldn't the old pipes discovered by the septic pipe line indicate more areas where the ground above it had been previously disturbed and potentially moved somewhere else?
Grace sure lived her name. What a sweet lady. Hear voice is a lot younger sounding then she seems to be. Someone's sweet sweet Grandma, I bet...
Grace is (was?) wonderful. I bet she loved having such kind visitors to her yard.
Somehow I will use the phrase “enigmatic hole” 🤣
Is there a followup to this?
So let's speak of Holy places and holy ideas
I think it's interesting that in the middle of the Viking calendar there's what appears to be Medicine Wheel. Stone Hinge and all of the stone circles in Europe are likely Medicine Wheels.
This is exciting because it indicates that the Medicine Wheel may be the original spiritual path. To me this is EARTHSHAKING!
So please see if you can find a connection.
That would be enormous.
I thought that after the Romans predominantly left the UK there was much less settlement overall for many years. Could this be a direct reflection of this?
what town in dorset is this? i thought they said wadden but i cant find a place on maps that even sounds like that in dorset.
one mile east of Portesham
@@randyranderson7991 NO, it closer to a location called 'Little Waddon'
Search for 'Waddon House'. It is the small Hamlet immediately to the west.
Is it near where Harry lost his cherry ?
@@wiretamer5710 What do you mean no? Is it not one mile east of Portesham?
Location, location, location….
Phil trying to get lucky. You dog you!
Has this henge thing been further investigated meanwhile?
I would love to know, too!
This is proof that people lived along time ago and made pottery.
They made us 4gey our past
Very few of us desire to remember. I do
That joke was bleedin' awlful.
❤
Oh the irony. I've seen three episodes of time came back to back where they didn't find as much pottery as Grace has just sitting on her table 🤣🤣🤣
Poor Tony 🤣
*Everyone knows Phil doesn't have carpet. He uses two by 12s for skirting boards and has 8 in of soil on the floor. He keeps flints hidden in it so he can find something everyday with his coffee. A consummate professional 🤣
So what's the value of Phil Harting?
In my opinion he is our teacher. He interprets what's found and teaches us about it. I can't help it I feel like he is a fantastic mentor.
PHIL HARTING ARCHEOLOGISTS AND MENTOR TO THIS PLANET. That's what the internet does.
I keep thinking Time Team will soon run out of real estate.
Wēoh dæl = heathen shrine/hollow dell.
Wodan's shrine/burrough
The Norsemen did make it to Britain and settled anywhere they wanted. Northwestern Scotland was settled, at one point, by Norsemen. I'm remembering that the Isle of Skye, home of my clan, was Viking controlled, at one point. So Wodin's shrine makes sense to me.
I know it is a long shot but, how is Aylen spelled please? My mother was an Aylen. Thank-you.
Is there anywhere in England that was never settled by humans?
I guess my name tells me a lot …Woolon …..was it a name given to say I was a woman who gathers wool and spins this to make garments?
👍🤙🥂❤👏👏👏
I want to go with you. I want to remember our past
So who is killing all the crows in the background?
Just never know what's to be found in a septic tank!
That leaves one skeptical...
@@davidhocde007 Oh, I wouldn't say "skeptical", per se...more like "critically alert"! Thanks for your reply.
@@cdfdesantis699 en fait, c'était un jeu de mots...
@@davidhocde007 A FRENCH pun...just for FUN! Merci beaucoup, mon ami!
hi greetings from sunny Queensland , Australia , what is with the stud in Tony,s ear ,,i did not think he was a handbag , cheers
Poor Phil sounds miserable in this episode...
Up a real taylor
very interesting. I do find the running from one spot to another rather annoying.
I hope I'm half as energenic as Tony when I'm his age
I don't get the three day thing? Interesting though.
Basically, it’s a good format for the (relatively) small scale digs they do, and most of the people involved had day jobs at universities or other organizations, so it’s something that could be done over a long weekend.
@@megelizabeth9492 Interesting!
why always "three days"? repeating it drives me wild

@@megelizabeth9492 thank you. clearly it is not enough time in many cases. i thought they were professionals but you imply they are hobbyists.
Most of them were actually professionals in the fields of history, archeology, etc, but Time Team specifically, was something they did as a hobby.
@@megelizabeth9492 thank you! i still wish they would stop saying "three days" : it's obvious from the program structure.
Glad to see Tony is still a jerk. He may be smart when it comes to some things, but when it comes to archeology he is a fool. Over the years he doesn't understand that sometimes you find nothing. He expects to find heaps and heaps of things and is a pain if he doesn't. "I expected to find heaps of archeology in these fields and we found nothing.". I am glad Phil set him straight.
