I love Time team and this episode was absolutely enchanting. The "argument" between Jeremy and Frances resulting in them digging was hysterical. This show is such a happy place for me.
Finally the one I haven't seen! During Corona I basically watched all available videos of Time Team, then I watched them again, and then I put them on to sleep better. This is new and exciting for me.
"Well, if you don't understand something, how can you preserve it?" - never a truer sentence on TT.
Good for Francis!
This never gets old. I especially enjoyed the meal prep & sit down supper!
Me too.
Phil's laugh is helping me through a rough patch. Thanks, Team.
A lot of that laugh to go around.
Somehow this channel manages to find the few Time Team episodes I haven't seen. Love it! THX!
Oh, and FIRST!!!
same here...
But for me arises another question. - cattle culled in the recent foot and mouth disease -. Are there WOLE animals, dead ones obvious, buried or only the bones?
i assumed the carcasses, the same as for that mad cow disease, are first incinerated and only the bones are buried.
suppose this is not the right place to ask a question like that? and 2001 is now 22 years ago...
@@benediktmorak4409 if there were incinerated, why were the still be bones but no, I’m pretty sure they buried the entire animal with all the meat and bits still attached to the bones.
Good to see Phil Harding, the Archeologist by which all other Archeologists should be judged.
They are by me! ❤
I adore videos like this especially for giving people of the ancient past character and personality; they weren't cartoonish warring brutes but real people with families and dreams. ❤
The cakes burned rather quickly. Perhaps poor King Alfred shouldn't have been scolded after all, poor man.
I am pretty sure you have this comment on the wrong video lol
@@southeastcoastalphotography No, obviously you haven't made the connection. It's true of snarkers. They'd rather make snide and irrelevant comments than think.
So glad to know that Tony Robinson is back on time team! He’s such a card
that describes him to a tee
42:50 -- OMG there's a little Mick plushy on the desk with a striped sweater!!!!
there is a really good shot of one in the new episode that came out this week called anglo-saxon cemetery day 2 around the 14:57 mark
Wheel ruts…..amazing find.
Enjoyed this so much. I am sure i have seen all the Time Team episodes but enjoy them again.
Curious question... I wonder how many times the Time Team has had to have that Rover repaired! 🤔
The alleged "track" of a cart is totally invisible to me.
I guess you weren't there.
I wonder at what stage Tony started asking if he could jump in the trench, instead of just enthusiastically leaping into them like he did way back on the beginning. I also wonder who barked at him or what he broke or trampled to cause that barking.
I believe that was Mick saying to him somethingalong the lines of: "I don't believe you asked permission to get in the trench."
I think i remember Phil giving him a ticking off for doing the same sort of thing in an early episode.
Someone should have arranged for a Spitfire to. Buzz the tower!!
The start of a new age doesn't end the previous age.
Love these guys. Haven’t seen this one.
Ahhh! Someone once questioned me saying on another video that I knew Mick and Stewart were vego but I didn't know John was, too. Now I'm vindicated! So nice to see 3 men going vego in a time that no one was really talking about it. Also, I am loving that Odyssey keeps finding TT videos I haven't seen. I don't know how they do it - I keep thinking I've seen them all then Odyssey goes and surprises me!
There was a big vegetarianism movement in the early to mid 90s. People talked about the benefits of being vegetarian back then too.
The difference now isn't so much being vegetarian but vegan.
I find it sad.. really sad that people willingly give up the one, single food, that gives a human all that is needed for thriving with optimal health. Wannabe cows get sick.. for ideas that are all lies, and thinking that one can eat whatever, and not suffer when removing oneself from a species apropriate diet. Also.. veganism is a killcult.. everything must die for humans to eat a vegan diet.
I’m really glad to see Tony back on time team he just had such a confrontational funny approach to everything that he did hopefully time team will grow to the numbers that they hope for they have a great first of people
Tony was on every single episode/dig of the original 20 seasons
Tony was on every single episode/dig of the original 20 seasons, this is an original run episode.
Thank you.
I love how these grey haired men are playing house together at the end. Tim and Francis really having a great time 😂
I love the documentaries that Odyssey offers., why so much laughter¿
I adore Francis
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤fascinating 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Time team is best today
I'm sorry but that farm cart seems like BS to me lol. They either went thru there one time only or they were extremely accurate and their wheels never deviated from that line. And the horses hooves didn't make a trench at all in the same dirt? Seems a lot wishy to me.
Love Frances' energy 💯
Never trust an archeologist; he'll invite you to dinner and feed you eel stew.
No way. I've eaten crawfish, frog legs and even alligator stew. You could not get me to eat eel anything. Nope, not even at gun point!
Actually, ancient genetic testing shows migration during the Iron Age from Gaul.
47:00 is the very reason I am hesitant to call archaeology a science. The amount of extrapolation that is done based on stains in the ground that really could be anything is at best an educated guess.
Many medical diagnoses are educated guesses as well. The more educated the guess, the more likely it is to be correct. A huge amount of knowledge about times past has already been unearthed - and as time, technology and experience progresses, the guesses get better.
I would be so annoyed with the "don't dig the center" guy. If they don't dig it, they won't find what they need to get it scheduled to keep it being just destroyed without getting the knowledge before the destruction. Who is he saving it for? Or am I missing something?
They save archeological sites because technology is always developing. In the future they might be able to learn more, and test more things, so sites are preserved for the future. However that guy was annoying, wasn't he the one who called time team in?
@@TheBeetress oh, I get that. The Time Team never digs the whole thing up. And yeah, I think he **did** call them in....to do what, did test pits? Or just geophys?
Francis wopped him out of his power trip as he always has (lesson's learned from word sparring with Mick & Phil) with; "well if you don't understand something, then how can you preserve it"!
And with that, the County's archaeologist representative was chopped down to size without being cherry faced.
Time Team has some seasoned word sparring combatants/veterans, they are subtle, but apply brute force when the need arises and know when to tag team their opponent. Another one to watch is Stewart, he's the word assassin like a Ninja. Listen, observe, and apply Grasshopper. :o)
Thank you for also addressing a little something on the womens world and the household, the "yin" side, nourishing side, of mankind... Interesting!
The side we dread to come home to
Iron age airports share common charachteristics
Probably Only the Brits would take time to check an area in the middle of nowhere for archaeology during a mass slaughter of infected animals.
So how many vegetarians do we have on Time Team? Mick of course, but also John by the sound of it. Stewart too?
Did anybody else thing of King Alfred when looking at Mick's cakes?
My first thought after seeing the burnt one!
cant hear
I prefer Mick's reserved looking at the facts to Francis' overly active imagination. He seems to take the slightest bit of evidence that might support his conclusion and run with it.
Lol, so is that a Iorn age airport?
ohhhh so that's where the sauce came from...
Did they ever mention an animal grave? Or was that a clickbait title?
re watch the beginning it has something too do with a massive culling of cows that had hoof and mouth disease or something like that
Yes, they did.
Awww. No "TIMMMBEEERRRR?"
I’m confused…what does this have to do with a mass animal grave?
re-watch the intro.
The county discovered the site existed when digging a pit to bury diseased livestock.
why do you have only 3 ays?
Because they all have day jobs, most of them are university professors.
All of the Time Team people are Professors/teachers and only have the weekend to do these incredible digs.
@@veronicagee4335 if you are a regular viewer one knows this. and also knows the - spiel - of Tony with his 3 days.
most of the time what Time team is doing is on a long weekend.
when one looks at the end of the credits, one can see where all those people come from and where they are working.
and WIKI gives also a not to bad idea about them.
But for sure local archaeologists are on hand long before that.
and obvious, someone will have to to the proper recording and clean up and preserving afterwards.
I am also sure, and it does not bother me at all, most of this bantering, talking and explaining is rather carefully scripted.
to explain to US, who kon´w nothing about archaeology, what is going on.and why and where.
Suppose for that HRM made Tony Robinson a SIR:..
the 3 days come from Mick Aston stating you learn the most about a dig in the first 3 days, and that became the concept for Time Team. It also worked well for TV as they could shoot the whole thing over a weekend, where all their experts had the time to do it. There are a few episodes where Mick says "we all have to go back to work on Monday" when trying to convince the silly owners of some lawn that they won't be digging around forever
@@benediktmorak4409 they used a lot of archeology students who got credit for doing actual field work - most the digging crew was volunteers. And once all the "big guys" went home on Sunday night (usually they stopped by Sunday 6-7 pm), it was all the others that stayed behind to record everything and fill in all the holes
@@thesteelrodent1796 but before they all went home, it was a round or two at the local pub!!!!!!!! Social networking,also an important thing. and where to do it better than over a pint of Ale!?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is amazing how you can find a whole buriel in your farm field maybe not show it im this video. Just saying lol
I believe you found a hobbit town!
I will be right back
So you liked what I said big deal it is not up to you
Love Kids 💝♥️❤️🩹
Looks like they'll have to get off their ass and work for it like everybody else.
Everybody Hates Malcolm and rightfully so...
Yep, fun destroyer
Every party has its pooper, that's why they invited him.
Thank god I am atheist
these clickbait titles really are very annoying.
It wasn’t clickbait, it was actually accurate. Site would not have been found if not for the need for massive number of animal burials.
Are your comprehension skills completely lacking or what? Whatever, these ignorant, incorrect comments really are very annoying.
@@mandywalkden-brown7250 sounds like you should take a day off once in a while..from that high horse.
@@lizzy66125 Don't worry she falls off her high horse when she's had a few
It’s in the first five minutes. Didn’t you watch it?
@@RKHageman Too busy playing pocket billiards
Has Robinson been on the botox? He doesn't look so f'd
Why do you only have 3 days every time. If there is lots to see you must go on longer.
Try to think about it. The answer is obvious.
Right above you someone else asks the same question. Several people replied with details- they explain it pretty thoroughly.
The short version? The professional archaeologists have regular jobs elsewhere- this isn’t their job, it’s a weekend project for them. It’s funded by Channel 4.
