  • FULL EPISODE | CLASSIC TIME TEAM SPECIAL
    In our latest Special from the archives, Sir Tony Robinson and Time Team seek recent evidence that supports a new and more complex understanding of the Vikings. Starting at Lindisfarne, Robinson explains how the record of the raid in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle cemented a reputation of the marauding berserker. However, the following 250 years now represent a significant Anglo-Scandinavian cultural legacy. Excavations, for instance in York and Orkney, paint a picture of settlers, farmers, merchants, and craftsmen, integrating into the local culture and religion. The Team spend time at the dig in Hungate in inner-city York, where finds similar to nearby Coppergate are found. They explore other aspects of Norse culture, such as sword metallurgy, jewellery, stone carving, bone tools, and extensive trade networks.
    Original broadcast date: 11th October 2010.

    I want to extend an enormous thanks to the entire crew at Time Team. I've grown up with your shows, they were my dad and my 'go to' programme when we'd have a day of just father-son bonding time. There's always a nostalgia for me and still bringing out quality content all these years later is something I will cherish and share with my future children too. I now live in the historic city of Norwich on a hill overlooking the great Norman built cathedral and am surrounded by history I couldn't have appreciated without the seeds you guys planted years ago. You've been there through some rough times when I needed a bit of 'home' and I can't thank you enough for all the hard work, time and effort that goes into giving us these wonderfully enthralling shows. Long live Time Team!

      ​@@terrydamron4770 You have thousands of years of history. The mound builders, the native Americans across the whole continent, the amazing geological history of the last ice age and the disappearance of the mega fauna, the fascinating history of piracy and revolutions. Just because it was prehistory before the arrival of Europeans, doesn't make it any less interesting than British or European history. I'm obsessed with pre-Columbus America, it's such an evocative history.

      @@malbennett9806 indeed! we have our own mounds and henges and ruins. why, i live a couple km from a river tributary full of bits of worked flint, pottery sherds... basically, the area's archaeology shows relatively steady periods of habitation from 20k years ago until the present day (not to mention fossil finds as early as the cambrian, if that's what floats your boat). our public school system could use a massive overhaul, and history is one (of admittedly many) blind spots.

      Rus is said to mean "row" but IMO it likely stems from HROSS, or the horse-heads ("dragons") featured at the ends of the ships.
      "Russia" then means "Horsia", which is rather fitting considering that is where the horse, as well as the scythians that brought horse culture into scandinavia, came from.

    The Viking Age didn't really end at Stamford Bridge. The Normans were basically Vikings with a thin Frankish veneer, making the harrying of the North (i.e. the Danelaw) an inter-faction Viking thing.
    Not that the conflict between the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings was much different.
    The Angles, Saxons and Jutes came from a similar area, spoke a similar Germanic language, worshipped the more or less same Norse gods when they arrived, and invaded/settled by crossing the North Sea in longboats.

    I've only recently discovered this channel and I'm so impressed with the stories that you uncover. I'm so glad that this story was told the way it was. The Vikings had such a big influence on the world and weren't just raiders. I'm sure that life in many towns of their homeland were tough conditions and it makes sense that they were made of tougher stuff but they were also people and it's always great to see the other side of them spoken about.

    I’m surprised that at 3:26 and then onward Tony and the Time Team perpetuate the inappropriate use of the term “Viking”. All those Scandinavias who came to our shores were Norse. Some came as warriors, were admittedly very cruel, and were known as Vikings because they “went a’viking”, I.e., raiding and pillaging. Viking is a verb and those who did it were “Vikings”. Many of the Norse folk did viking at times but many were also farmers/settlers who contributed so much to our society. I think it’s an important distinction.

    I started archeology as an advocate when I was 10. I'm now 76 and can spend some time digging it! I spent weeks, visiting relatives in Chicago and exploring the Egyptology section of the Field museum. Over the years I have touched many areas of ancient history and discovered that as a kid I had sledded down hills in a local park that were actually mounds of the Mississippian civilization the greatest of which is Cahokia outside of St. Louis. It was in mediaeval times larger than Paris or London with huge geological constructs, mounds, along waterways in the Midwest! My hometown monuments were only documented by History Signs at that time and later by one monograph on Aztalan near Madison, Wi. Cahokia is over plowed and only recently being geophys-ed. I'd love to see Time Team tackle parts of these sites, Cahokia, Cutler Park, and Aztalan with their unique mix of tech, acute observation and camaraderie to explore more of these sites.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐BRILLIANT! I haven't seen this before, Time Team Official, which is strange. I thought I had watched absolutely every Time Team Episode ever made, but then this Precious Gemstone turns up! FANTASTIC! Fantastic on so many levels. I'm a descendant of King Harald Fairhair & the Lade Earls of Trondheim, and my Viking Ancestors were always prepared for Battle, and weren't afraid to fight outnumbered. But they cherished Fishing, Hunting, Arable Land for Crops and Trade far more than War.
    I just wish the late and Great Victor Ambrus had been partaking in these episodes! It is absolutely cringeworthy seeing Vikings being decked out with Horns and Wings on their Helmets! A helmet needed to be efficient like every other Instrument of War, and that stupid decoration would just have been in the way.
    Other than that, this was a FABULOUS EPISODE! Thank you, Time Team Official! 🇳🇴🇩🇰🇬🇧👍

    Nitpicking: York wasn’t renamed Jorvik by the Vikings. Before they came, it was called Eoforwic. “York” is a distortion of Jorvik

    First of all, I am an American. It is very obvious from other comments made by Tony Robinson which side of the coin (loathe or love) he falls. He loathes us I have had the great opportunity to work in Great Britain, and never got the feeling I was loathed......not once. In fact, some of my fond memories of London are of after-hours at the local pub having a few pints with my fellow British mates.

      And have you seen Britain's track record with addiction, deaths, and history about it at all?... itslike an eigth as severe it is here in america.. you get shunned here for being addicted... the British own it and mostly don't acknowledge it as much of a problem...

    Wonderful programme: thank you. One quibble: when the Normans came over in 1066 when Harald lost the Battle of Hastings, right after the Battle of Stamford Bridge, William of Normandy's men and soldiers were actually NORTHMEN. i.e. they were Vikings who had earlier been settled with land in northern France. My husband has traced his family lineage back to the invasion of the Northmen, and guess what: he's 6' 3" with bright red hair, a beard, and a military disposition. Incredible to think that those genes continue to be passed down over the centuries to the present day!

    5:43. Your discoveries are amazing all the time - even backwards flying gulls.....accompanied by a comment by Tony of someone doing something in the past....no, seriously, I like the show a lot. And then 6:43 she goes forward again! Then Tony sais. "Fast forward......", are those jokes acidentially or intentionally? Great details.....

    The coin thing is cool, but what about the Lloyds Bank Coprolite? I picked visiting York mostly to see it. The rest of the city is magnificent. Probably my favorite place I have ever visited? I did my best to compete.
