Stewart Ainsworths ability to read the lay of the land is second to none! Amazing talent 👏
Agree.

I am more interested in history as a 65 year old, than I ever was in school. So glad I found these shows.
It's a great channel!
You have to have a little history under your belt in order to appreciate it!
Pam Chapman I feel the same way at 56! I'm a grandma and want to tell my grandchildren something real and TRUE! Still searching daily! God Bless everyone 🙏❤️🛡️
I feel like the “history” they teach in school is dry and boring. Here in Canada, history in high school consists of the formation of the Canadian government, they are getting better at the truth of the indigenous history, and that’s about it. In later grades, you can choose ancient history if the other didn’t put you off completely.
Ive learned more on the internet as a 55 yr old than i ever did in any education i received in the south . never to old to learn something new!!
Unsung heroes of this show: Seriously good backhoe operators!
No kidding. "All right Ian, just take off about half an inch with 'yer digger."
Would look really good on a CV: PhD in Archaeology, heavy machinery licence. I did once have a student who told me he was going off to do a degree in marine archaelogy and, in passing, mentioned he was a qualified underwater welder. I felt very humbled.
On the 1326 Christmas menu, "clell" (pronounced "kleel") is archaic English word for the bird "red kite" (species Milvus). It was a common male name at the time, and still survives today as "Cleland" and "McClelland".
I find that particularly interesting as my mother's maiden name is McClellan. There may have been a "d" that was dropped at one point.
@@joannathesinger770 And an "r" added?
@@williamwilliam5066 No. I don't even know how one would pronounce that...
I don't know if anyone else would find the small humor in this, but while my mothers maiden name was McClellan, her mother's maiden name was Byrd.
Legend has it that the original Byrd surname was named after William the Conquerer's fowlers as it was Anglicized. He had a different surname in French...but it translated to Byrd, as well.
Thank you for that extra information. All new to me.
I thought there would be a flurry of comments about the oyster shell at the start, Phil making some comment about a luxury life - but oysters were the food of the poor, going back a few hundred years. I don't know what state the shell was in, as I was only listening to the video at that time. I was passing some fruit loaf to visiting possums.
Undoubtedly one of the best and most interesting shows on T.V, Tony Robinson is excellent as always.
Stewart Ainsworth. The Sherlock Holmes of Archaeology!
Just leave it to Mick , he's got this. Mick is the coolest old guy ever , he's so laid back he's upside down.
RIP Mick.
They have talked about it, but Tony and Phil have not signed on. Without them, I'd rather watch reruns.
So stealing the upside down comment! Priceless!
If I had ever had wishes magically granted to me, I would ask to be a member of the Time Team from the beginning of the series. Man, I envy their experiences! 💚
That is exactly mine as well.
Dr.Phil Harding makes time team what it is. Always has a ready smile. And so knowledgeable. His instincts are impeccable.
Oooo Arrr Tony.
Agree but his finger nails need some work whenever he is doing a close up of an object all I can think is geez they need a snip..
Don't forget Tony, Carenza Lewis, and Mick Aston...
@@joshwilliams7360 He plays guitar.
@@gdj6298 what's that got to do with the price of eggs in China?
Maybe they need to have a Time Team Revisited show. You get most of the old team back with some new faces and modern "geophys" technology. Revisit the old sites to see if the original theory holds up or if new evidence gives new insight. What do you think? Is the market interested in this type of show?
Absolutely! I never quite understood why they only ever had 3 days. Digs are not typically given such a short timeframe. I know, tv production funding etc., but why not ever with the possibility of extending a project with important or significant finds? They could always tell the landowner whether it was worthwhile or not to continue.
@@maggpiprime954 except there's plenty of interviews as to why only 3days, just look for them.
@@kiwibird8441 ok cool thanks
That's a wonderful idea!!!! Most of the places they went would need more digging and further explorations. I would love to see them revisit those site and see what they can find! ♡
and if what they said in another episode is true they could open new trenches along with reopening the old as apparently the old trenches don't count towards the allotment that EH provides when they approve a dig.
I suspect removing all that buildup of concealing vines would help...except it's probably holding the walls up, lol. Love Mick! Love Stewart, too - he's so great at reading the literal lay of the land. And Phil's enthusiasm is so great!
I love that the owners are so invested in finding the real history that's found on the lands they're entrusted with. Thank you for enabling these treasures to be saved for the future.
*I'm in Canada and I love being taken on these tours on such ancient and beautiful places!!* ❤️
Stewart's eye for the lie of the land is his superpower. I admire any person who enjoys doing what he/ she does best.
Christmas Feast 1326: 1 ¼ Beef, 1 ½ bacon, 2 pigs, 2 mutton, 1 ½ boar, 5 ½ beasts of the chase.
3 swans, 2 herons, 2 bitterns, 2 egrets, 6 capons, 12 piglets, 12 geese, 8 hens, 24 chickens, 13 partridges, 18 woodcocks, 800 eggs, 1 ½ bushels of wheat, 4 bushels of corn.
That's what I was able to transcribe. Quite a party.
No Booze?
🎵 The boar's head in hand have I bedecked with sage and rosemary 🎵
@@thomasgalyen6757 Of course. The water was not safe to drink.
how do you get a quarter of a cow, and what happens to the rest
Love this show... it's like comfort food for me
Am I the only one waiting to see Tony advise, when they can't decide where to dig, "I have a cunning plan?"
While the search is exciting it really is the personalities of the team that make this show so much fun to watch. Thank you.
So fascinating. I absolutely love you guys . I am deeply saddened about Mick leaving us. And certainly hope Phil is digging on... I'll have a toast to all of you.Cheers.
Phil is still digging and still lecturing. czcams.com/video/5wNFPW0SWqk/video.html
@Brisdad53 that's too bad :(
RIP Robin.saddeneds my heart to learn of this.
As an American from Irish decent I love this show. I only just discovered it this so I'm still binge watching and it is entirely possible that I am in love will Phil Harding. Wish we had cool stuff like this under our America soil.
It used to be on channel 4 in the early 2000's in England 🇬🇧 I've loved it from the start! Lol
You do have "cool stuff under your American soil" like this. And "TIME TEAM" have done at least one show in New England USA digging up a settlement from the early 1600's !!!!
We have tons of history under our American soil. Most is native history but alot of European settler stuff dating back to the 1400's and earlier.
if it weren't for my inability to remember numbers I'd have chosen archeology instead of English to study at uni... Time Team is the way I get my archeology fix! love it that new stuff is being uploaded (I previously thought I'd seen all TT episodes)...
Man, i think British history is so interesting. Its amazing how they have written records of so much of their past.
Most countries do. It's just that we never see that because they don't have Time Team :P
Most countries do but the left don’t want history to exist so they can eradicate it and rewrite it according to their edicts of hate and destruction. Thank you.
@@hollygolightly8048 lol. That escalated quickly.
The records make their history so tangible which is so awesome!
You missed your meds today.
Phil is a true scientist, always excited and full of wonder.
As long as he isn't wearing his cut-offs Phil is tolerable.
@@brushbros ¹¹¹11¹¹¹qq¹+a ppl pp
You should look up Lucy Worsley.... she is another favorite of mine
He is. I love his enthusiasm, his joy when he comes upon a find which he particularly likes. I also love his accent and his passion for archaeology, I looked him up on wikipedia and was impressed to learn that as a qualified SCUBA diver he is the president of the Nautical Archaeology Society, a Portsmouth-based charity formed to further interest in nautical cultural heritage.
I was also impressed by his making tools using flint which is one of his passions. A very interesting man.
Phil is a force of nature 😭 lol
The UK is an archeological gold mine 😍 I’d love to visit some day
Im so happy Ive found this channel! I love history and I love documentaries!
Observing the ambience (for lack of a better word) in the area being investigated, it transports me back to 1996 when I worked as a general labourer on the Jemseg Crossing dig. There is something ethereal in the mist on a site like this. What I wouldn't give to be back sifting through buckets of matrix looking for the smallest of clues. I found a clear quartzite thumbnail scraper in my screen, and it humbled me to realize that I was the first human being to lay hands on it in more than 6,000 years or even as much as 12,000! It strikes me as very strange that one of the more common items we found at Jemseg was European clay pipe fragments, and the last 2 Time Team videos I have watched today also turned up clay pipe fragments! Artifacts are fascinating, and tell us so much, but I am more intrigued by the features on a site. Archaeology in practice is an endeavour of blood, sweat and tears, interspersed with a scattered few eureka moments. I love it!
I love this show, but it was a lovely treat for me to get to see some archery. Such powerful bows! 296 metres shot!
And the archers! 😍
Modern bows use cams on the tips to multiply the force of your draw. An experimental ancient style English bow with cams was made once and it shot over seven hundred meters!
@@joshschneider9766
Interesting; the way fantasy & action media portray war archery looks like what you described versus the reality of the era.
Which gives better perspective of how much smaller, closer, and intimately violent an experience it was back then, instead of the vast swathes of army flowing over hills and meadows; makes me wonder how many survivors with PTSD ended up in asylums like Bedlam, or wandering alone.
On a lighter note, I never used cams when I competed.
That was a whole different class.
That was fun, lots of expertise brought out and kudos to Stewart for taking a walk around!!!
the very end, Phil had no hat on but Tony managed to shoot the hat off. love this show
I really love watching these history buffs, they are so interesting. I watch all the time.
I'm 71 and never will learn out I love your show thank you very much for sharing
A long thorough archeological exploration of the site should definitely take place to unveil all the wonderful mysteries that still lay within that place!
It's been subjected to several dogs since then Google the castle plus the word archaeology
I just love all of them. Love watching. Thank you for this
I wish I had found this show growing up. I love history, archaeology, and Baldrick! I mean....Tony Robinson!
I happen to be an out-of-work history teacher and I have studied in history for over 50 years I love these shows I love anything to do with this kind of stuff I sit around and watch either the news or history all the time
Ha ha the news lol... Pure mind control having all your thoughts and opinions formed for you..
@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 Absolutely bang on..But why people still believe the bile media spews out is beyond my recognition.
The records that have been kept give a really great look at the way they lived.
Oh boy, a full episode! Gonna be a great Friday!
What a TV show Time Team was.
Great episode! Enjoyed all the twists and turns in the discovery
I just discovered this lil gem,& I'm a fan 4 life! I used to love digging in the dirt when I was a kid,
So this one is quite exciting! The ground fog SCREAMS "MIDDLES AGES! DIG HERE!!!"
🤣😂
These folks making this program...i love this team...my compliments
Great great show, magnificent, fabulous.
I love Time Team! Tony Robinson is amazing too! I have followed his career since Black Adder.
That is so awesome. Time Team is my new all time #1 go to series
I love watching these! Great show
I love this show. It's so interesting. There is no show like this.
I can just watch to enjoy the British mist and foliage
You’d think that English Heritage would be happy to give Time Team carte blanche to dig away. My understanding is that while they have so many scheduled monuments, they don’t have either the manpower or the money to properly excavate them.
As an architectural blacksmith I invariably found English Heritage to be unfit for purpose ----- plenty of overpaid manpower, they just hadn´t a clue.
Maybe there are governmental constraints as well?
@@deendrew36 There were exceptions, on one site where I made railings, I heard the young female architect say to the old Irish building foreman ¨I´m sorry, it HAS to be goat´s hair mortar, horse hair simply won´t do. ¨
They have zero interest in ironwork though, and the gates of our stately homes are now largely made of tubing.
Try as I might, I could never do a mortice and tenon joint in tubing ...
The primary role of English Heritage (now Historic England) is to protect and preserve the nationally important sites in their care for future generations, not to excavate them. Sometimes they give permission for excavation on a Scheduled site but there has to be a very good reason for doing so, often related to enabling the site to be protected more effectively.
English Heritage is probably a Woke outfit by now. Self hating and anti English .
A "pleasance"... what a lovely term! I will have to start using that!
Very interesting, and intriguing!
Bloody hell ...I'm officially old love this .!!!..and then he was told to settle down and have a cup.of tea just soooo english ...!!!
thank you time team :). your gods blessings are over due.... best
Loved the whole show.. wounderful..thank you ever so much..
Oh Phil!!!!I love you! You are so intelligent and I love the way you teach.
Quite impressive how they can read the landscape like that, and as a result, tell the story about what may have happened
This show is awesome, I wish they still filmed.
❤Phil is like a archeologist u find only in books wat an amazing person who has a passion for exactly wat he does❤
LOVE this show!
Miss this show Seen all 10 sessions and I'm going to miss Mick he was such a great man wonder what Phil is up to nowadays I watched a show on remembering Mick and it was great to see them all together
Mr. Harding is hard at work at Waterloo! He has a series going right now about the battle. czcams.com/video/5wNFPW0SWqk/video.html
❤ Mick was truly a neat man. ...and Phil is absolutely so likeable and so authentic.
I just found thus show last year.
Tennessee,USA
There were 20 seasons and all the programmes are on YT.
I just saw a video he made this year of him making/chipping a blade (flint I believe)
check out digventures
This is my second time watching this episode and I would love to see the time team revisit this site and try to figure out more about it this one has me intrigued
Classic Time Team indeed!
Wonderful ep.... Thank you....
Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. Regards Tank xxx
Hi from in Gauteng
Enjoyed the video, thank you.
It's been years since I watched Time Team on the Discovery Channel. So glad I found this channel! Time to bingewatch all their excavations.
Just so entertaining. Excellent.
Thanks for posting
Love this series! 🇬🇧😎👍
What an enchanting place..
Me, an American historian, having to remind myself that they’re talking about the British Civil War period, not the 1860s.
Never heard of a British civil war at school, not even in Europe (not talking about universities).
@@duudsuufd Charles l and his Cavaliers lost and he was beheaded. His son Charles ll fled abroad. Parliament held sway under some hardline religious zealots. The Roundheads, protestants who favoured plain churches and no laughing on Sundays etc wrecked as many of the old churches as they could. Smashing statues, stained glass, whitewashing walls etc. The Commonwealth didnt last though and Charles ll was brought back. Hence the Restoration. ......I learnt about this in junior school in the 1950s. And again in more detail a few years later. But as I was at a Roman Catholic school it was part of our religious history as well.
@@helenamcginty4920 Thanks. That also happened in the 'low countries' (north Fance to Denmark) in 1566. called the 'Beeldenstorm' (literally 'storm against the statues').
@@helenamcginty4920 is that the "Bonnie Prince Charlie" I've heard of?
@@helenamcginty4920 I was at Catholic school in Canada, and I didn’t learn one teeny bit of British History in school. Our history was super boring - mostly political history/formation of government, and a little bit of the War of 1812.
would have been nice to see this Castle after it was built! Very Good documentry!
I’m addicted to this series because my knocking about in England was necessarily limited, and the castle ruins I saw were less interesting archaeologically. This episode is especially interesting to me because we’re in the Welsh marches, and I’m a Williams who spent two weeks with my father, a Williams born in Pembroke, GA, in a cottage within easy distance of Pembroke, Wales! I’ve got a real fascination with the Welsh marches. I love the landscapes.
I just found out about 'Time Team', there's so much to watch.
''AH SHIT, HERE WE GO AGAIN.'' 🚲
So much fun!
Me too. I binge watch it while working.
We would be thrilled to come do the metal detecting for y’all. I enjoy watching these.
Time teams been off the air for seven years but raksha Dave runs digventures and they do take volunteers.
Yeah,you missed the boat on this.TT was on air for 20 years in the UK and by the time it was over people all over the world,including myself had fallen in love with the cast..RIP DrMick

She's a very attractive lady but why is she named after a two-wheeled, man-drawn form of transport which was formerly (19th century) very common in the Far East - particularly Japan and Hong Kong? (For those can't work it out, it's called a rickshaw).
This video will help me when making more castles in games.
"We need more mist! Bring on the mist!!!"
Superb!
They are always Fascinating 🙂
37:17 the modern plumbed toilet may well be the greatest invention in history.
43:45 Stewart is the Merlin of Time Team.
Fantastic!😉🇨🇦
A favorite episode because it really shows the evolution of a castle! Amazing. Btw... I am of Welsh descent surname Williams. Colonial American since bef. 1780.
I really enjoyed that episode
Time Time is definitely one of my all-time favorite shows😊😊❤️💕👍👍❤️🙏🙏
Thank you
I can't get enough of these. So interesting. I'm 42 with a good job, but this makes me wish I would've studied history and archeology. I never get bored with history. Can't wait to retire and hopefully move to Europe one day and just wander aimlessly from place to place.
From usa? No thanks. You call Europe Communist
@@frofrofrofro900 I don't think that at all
love this tv. thanks
Easiest subscribe i've ever had!
Wonderful episode! Just once I'd like to travel to Britain and help out on an excavation like this!
This place would make a great student excavation site, only costs's would be food and lodging(set up a nice tent city)....
It is scheduled so you could not, but it would be a great education.
Crazy how such a massive development with a rich history almost entirely disappears over half a dozen centuries
i combine my love of history and my hobby of Genealogy - Elizabeth de Clare is my 20th great-grandmother and I now look forward to learning more about her.
This is the kind of stuff that makes me so glad that I teach college history.
Ah, the glorious history of college shall not be forgotten! :D
We need real history. Not woke, revised nonsense. The current insanity of our culture wars began with "revised history" teachers in college...the beginning of any socialist revolution.
@@sgassocsg Do you know a lot about history teached at colleges? Because, you know, it doesn't seem so at all.
Bass Trammel I know English, you should too
@@sgassocsg I know enough to get around. You understood my previous comment.
I've seen a demonstration of a war bow. If I remember right, it was a 95 lb draw, and the bowyer shooting with it could only do three or four shots at a time. Yet back in the day, a well-trained archer could do about five shots a minute or better. Centuries later, a well-trained soldier could fire maybe three shots a minute with a musket -- but it didn't take 10 years of training and practice to build up to that.
Yes but remember England had laws forcing men to practice archery. Henry VIII had a law made that ever man had to practice archery on Sunday afternoons for at least an hour
It is estimated that some of the longbows found in the wreck of the Mary Rose may have had draw weights of up to 160-185 lbs! The skeletons of those believed to be archers exhibited spinal deformities caused by a lifetime of training with such powerful weapons.
Tony is so great at his job. He could make watch grass grow interesting and funny.
I miss great programs like time team, used to watch it from it's first series years ago,
Wonderful stuff!! Totally engrossed in it. NOW, where's the TT about the Battle of Hastings that never happened at the site they always thought it did!!? 😮
Oh to be a castle expert. What a job!
Only 2 ads this time? Maybe they were actually reading the comments from past videos about the literal 14 ads in each video? I love time team!
Yeah...i refused to.watch those..disgusting
Adblock use it....
@@sislertx seriously ads??? Use adblock...

You have it for free. Don't be greedy. Pay him
There are some fantastic accents in this program!
I live in Newport, just a few miles way from this, and I've never heard of this castle before. How have I missed this?!
