🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm in the same boat

Me too! Greetings from west coast USA.

makes one more, special with Tony Robinson. he looks like the Duracell rabbit to me, no insult meant to either. but they never seem to run out of energy!

@Guybrush Threepwood . I totally agree with you . I have been interested in this subject since e I was a kid in the suburbs of PA. Abington, PA . Born in South Philly. When the hippies were smoking pot in the 60's , during a new year mummer parade , well I thought that it smelled like penicillin. lol . Now I smoke it. lol

Anyone else have ptsd and tt help them?

😂 you’re really probably not wrong

🤣

Lmao

He is very entertaining, but I can't figure out what sort of accent that is. Obviously Pirate, but from where?☠️

@@annika_panicka I thought I remember seeing an episode recently where Phil proclaimed he is from Yorkshire. Wish I could remember what episode it was now.

@@bevil4adayI think their home turf is mentioned in any number of instances when the lads are ribbing one another, although none come to mind. (I'm relatively new to the series and have seen only 20 or so episodes.) I'm a lazy little pirate wench, so here is his bio from Wikipedia: _Born in Oxford on 25 January 1950 and brought up in Wexcombe, Wiltshire, Phil Harding was educated at Marlborough Royal Free Grammar School in Marlborough. As a young boy, Harding became fascinated with the Stone Age. He learned flint-knapping from his Uncle Fred, and in only a few months became a skilled knapper, crafting many different hunting tools from pieces of flint. He made his first archaeological finds digging up his parents' garden, much to the annoyance of his mother Elsie. In 1966, while still at school, he attended a training excavation by Bristol University Extra Mural Department in Fyfield and West Overton. Since then he has dug every year, though at first his archaeological activities had to be fitted into holidays and any spare time._

@@bevil4aday This episode takes place in Yorkshire-I've watched the first five minutes and it hasn't been mentioned, but the intro to the local people was given by that other chap with what sounds like a West Country accent (I'm American and could be wrong)-Mick Aston-and Phil remained surprisingly silent, and didn't Mick say anything like "We have with us Yorkshire's own Phil Harding," but it's not about him and it might come up ... I plan to watch the rest now. 🏴‍☠️ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLWEmcaBt9-xdIE.html Update: I didn't hear Phil say anything about Yorkshire during the program, but I will admit my attention was divided as I was reading and running my mouth in the comment section for that episode.

@@annika_panicka West country.

🍀

I saw one episode where Phil had his ancestry mapped out. He is 100% brit going back about 4000 years. Not many can say that.

@@BirdWhisperer46 interesting does did he every have children?

@@kiwibird8441 They didn't say. It was not a big part of the episode. He took a blood sample and sent it in, then at the end they showed the results coming back. Since each episode is supposed to be only 3 days I kind of got the feeling that the results came back after it was over and added on at the end. Maybe you'll run into it if your watching all of them. :o)

@@BirdWhisperer46 I have seen it, but thought you might have known if he had children I always wondered that. i think the main dig is limited to 3 days for the show but they do spend time after to process and return the site back to normal as I read some where. I also remember some carbon dating result not making it back in time for the airing of one episode.

@@kiwibird8441 Information about their personal lives is conspicuously lacking as they dig into everybody else's. :o)

Raksha has an infectious laugh

Yep Phil has multiple injuries from his neck to his ankles.

Phil would find some worked flint.

that was my comment exactly that is so funny and true in the same thought 😂😂😂

I watch the history hit man cause I think Dan Snow is adorable

@@MagdaleneDivine I can't stand him.

Are you an archaeologist?

I must admit as soon as I saw the presenters talking to the farmers at the start, my eye went right past them to try and see what kinds of reused cut stone might be lurking in that stone boundary wall directly behind them! 😆

They ALWAYS have 'just three days'. Never expect any more than that LOL

Wish it was 5 days

Many interesting documentaries on this channel. Interesting series on chinese history recently.

How dare you i am a cop and I am awesome

Love your comment lol

@@ej2civicb736 sorry. He/she has a right to pick his "handle" Or is that not one of the constitutional rights you protect. My husband and son in law are LE. NO NEED TO BE BACON A BIG DEAL OVER IT...🤔🕵🙊🙉🙈

nothing but respect for ur @ 😌

Phil*

You'd be sick to death of the wind very quickly.

To fit the TV format.

Mick Aston came up with that idea, too make the program manageable and less expansive because of new techniques and insights. Here's the story of how the program came about: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6ppoKl03Ky6img.html

5 days sounds best

I'm sorry but 3 days IS. NOT. ENOUGH. that's all I'm saying

Can't cut the grass without finding archeology. Like Peter Irish litteraly experienced.

Seems to me before you started to build a castle, you would have dug a well to see if there was water. If no water then no castle. Or is there water everywhere in the U.K. if you just go deep enough?

What did I watch last? Wales. Horses.

Mary-Ann destroyed Time Team.

@@Emmenie I just fast forward thru the annoying parts. It was in her wheel house serving up the cheese and cider.

Second to last season 2012 or 2013 ?

He has lived in Wiltshire most of his life.

Not paranoid. There was a civil war going on.

There are two things I get hung up on: The certainty with which they date things like unclean, undated, unmarked pottery fragments with no surrounded objects to compare, and the "Geo Phys". Occasionally there might be a definite line, or right angle, or some other clear feature. But most of the time it's just a bunch of noise. See this irregular blob here? That's a pillar...but totally different from the irregular blobs that are everywhere else.

@@kev3d That's why they dig. And believe it or not, you can date pottery very well by just looking at it. There are fashions in forms that are well documented. Also the technology of making them evolved and is well known enough to date to a generation's accuracy. Every dig stands on the shoulders of the knowledge of previous digs. That is why archeologists also have to read a lot to keep updated on the latest knowledge of other digs elsewhere to be able to interpret their own work better. And that is also why often it is decided not to dig at all, because they think with the present knowledge destroying the evidence would not be worth it.

Take into account the collective years of experience and education assembled in this group. People tend to follow patterns throughout different periods of history and if ditch rubble can pinpoint a date, and if the site contains features akin to other sites of the same era, I would call it an educated interpretation rather than guess work.

That's the difference between you, a Joe Schmo on the internet, and experts in their field. Jus' sayin'

@@kev3d Sonar experts can tell if a signal is bouncing back off a school or fish or a whale, to us it's just noise.

I like her. Her more clinical approach was a nice addition to the team. The contrast works well.

@@Strassenkicker It didn't. It was the reason Mick Aston left and not long after that, he died.

@@bedorset579 for me, it does

@@Strassenkicker You're in the minority.
