After you watch this episode, check out the official commentary video on the Time Team Official KZfaq Channel! • Time Team Commentary: ...
One summer during the 1980s, strange crop marks appeared in two fields on the north Cornish coast near Lellizzick. Locals have picked up a wealth of 1,500-year-old pottery and metalwork from as far away as North Africa and Turkey. Combined with some spectacular geophysics, it all suggested that this was once a busy international trading site. In Mick's opinion copper and tin would have been exchanged for foreign luxury goods. But Time Team are having trouble dating the site. They are joined by Steve Hartgroves from Cornwall County Council, Finds specialist Carl Thorpe, and Byzantine expert Anthea Harris.
Series 15, Episode 10
Time Team is a British TV series following specialists who dig deep to uncover as much as they can about Britain's archaeology and history.

When I was really young, there were two jobs I wanted to do - either to be an archaeologist because I adored Time Team, or a zoologist because I loved David Attenborough. Now I’m a palaeontologist, merging the two jobs I wanted to do back when I was 4. Thank you Time Team. Rewatching makes me so happy

I just have to tell you all, as SOON as I saw that clay disc with a hole, I dramatically threw down the project I was working on, said out loud "THAT'S A DROP SPINDLE," paused the video, and went and found the one I made of clay about two years ago - I didn't want to buy one, and I had clay on hand - before resuming the video to see if I was right. Mine's too small, and this one is the perfect size. Other than the size, they look almost exactly the same. It's eerie.

What's amazing to me about episodes like this is the way we're all subtly taught to believe the ancient world was this disconnected and isolated series of separate cultures and civilisations that never shared ideas, or trade, that people never travelled. And sites like this are so important because they correct this enormous misconception. The world has always been an incredibly intricately connected place, it's just that in the past, this was far more difficult, but that only made it all the more impressive the way in which it was.

He has done so many different history documentaries that a lot of ppl won't even know he was an actor before this.

I used to love watching Time Team back in the day when I was a kid. It's been hard to get watching it since it went off air. My 4 year old son is very interested in archeology, we have been enjoying these in the evening before bed. It's been great to share my passions with him. And of course loves it even more when there's a digger on screen lol Wish we could have Time Team back on screen, even in a streaming service like Netflix or Amazon, new weekly episodes along with the old. Kids these days miss out on seeing history first hand rather then just reading about it.

The people remain. The people always remain. Community and trade, the stuff of survival is largely unaffected by the 1% and people adapt as the land changes.

Phil would probably be in heaven looking at flint and obsidian tools. Some of the archaic pieces, such as the Folsom points, would most likely be exciting for him.

that looks like a perfect place to land a kayak, which has a similar landing tendency as a viking or ancient egyptian craft. they were wider and shallower hulled, and with a lot less structure, ie when people have reconstructed and sailed them, they were surprised at how much they flexed and twisted at sea. (not stiff and sleek but deep) they also were making them as quickly as possible and not to last 100 years. in other words, they may (seem) to have been built for beach landings and sketchy river raids and hope to come back, hope to repair, and hope to last a couple years, not our modern expectations of ships, or scratching paint. it was either trade and go home, raid and go home, or a bit of both

Geo-phys was showing what he thought was an industrial site, and if it was a trading port then it would make sense to have some sort of repair/building facility for ships that maybe had a rough time getting there.

40:18 This sudden stop in trade in the 6th century is likely linked to 'the worst year in recorded history', 536. This is the year the volcano Krakatoa supposedly erupted and cast the earth in a volcanic winter that last many months and had knock on effects for years after. This would be one of those knock on effects, the ceasing/ forgetting of these long distance trade connections.

Just looking at the commercially available Aerial Imaging you can see crop marks over virtually all the fields in the vicinity of this site. It would be great to go back and do a bigger investigation here and let the sites story develop.

They do not seem to address the possibility that the goods travelled through Europe and were shipped from the French/Spanish coast across the Bay of Biscay or the English Channel.

Isn't the sixth century the time of the Justinian Plague? It would be strange to trade copper from Cornwall since there are several mines around the Mediterranean. There are tin mines closer to Constantinopel. What about wool and leather? Could there be a quality difference?

How much do you want to bet that the inhabitants of this settlement weren't sea traders, but Cornish pirates? The pottery found at this location probably wasn't from goods brought in through trade but were possibly pirated from ships in the Celtic Sea and Bay of Biscay, or looted from ships wrecked off the treacherous Cornish peninsula.

Isn't it more likely that the village went into decline after the channel shifted and the safe harbor filled with sand?

my guess is probably a bit of both. could be that a particularly heavy winter storm finally ended the occupation of the site as a trade centre around the time the byzantines collapsed.

A thought - getting finds from Turkey does not mean the settlement is a trading center, but rather could simply receive some trade at times. It could be a fishing village using shallow draft small boats and the trade vessels from afar could moor in the depths of the bay with trips to the village in shallow draft boats. No ship harbor required. Putting the houses at the very end of the west bank allows for sheltered waters and the shortest trip to the main land for other life-required activity, including something that the trader from afar finds value in.

Ummm. Curious that no one suggested the obvious. That the locals might have been wreckers. If ships were going to sink here during storms it's unlikely they'd have let the loot go to waste.

The Issue is that ships still need to get into the channel around the Cornish headland in the first place (it's a long distance), so they would have to be trading at some point along that coast (even it was further to the west) which is still against the dangerous tides, so there is no reason to thing they wouldn't be trading at that cove.

A great episode, but it kind of bungles dealing with the fact that Anatolia and Turkey, while the same location, were/are completely different cultures. There was no "Turkey" when the pottery was made in Constantinople. There was the Eastern Roman Empire made up of a wide range of cultures, held together by Greek culture. I know they say "Turkey" because most people won't know where Anatolia is, but it would have been better to have said "Anatolia" or "The Eastern Roman Empire in modern day Turkey. Still, a stunning discovery that indicates that British culture did not collapse with the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and went on its merry way.
