    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.

    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.

    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!

    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. 😄
