same here... But for me arises another question. - cattle culled in the recent foot and mouth disease -. Are there WOLE animals, dead ones obvious, buried or only the bones? i assumed the carcasses, the same as for that mad cow disease, are first incinerated and only the bones are buried. suppose this is not the right place to ask a question like that? and 2001 is now 22 years ago...

There was a big vegetarianism movement in the early to mid 90s. People talked about the benefits of being vegetarian back then too. The difference now isn't so much being vegetarian but vegan.

I find it sad.. really sad that people willingly give up the one, single food, that gives a human all that is needed for thriving with optimal health. Wannabe cows get sick.. for ideas that are all lies, and thinking that one can eat whatever, and not suffer when removing oneself from a species apropriate diet. Also.. veganism is a killcult.. everything must die for humans to eat a vegan diet.

They save archeological sites because technology is always developing. In the future they might be able to learn more, and test more things, so sites are preserved for the future. However that guy was annoying, wasn't he the one who called time team in?

Francis wopped him out of his power trip as he always has (lesson's learned from word sparring with Mick & Phil) with; "well if you don't understand something, then how can you preserve it"! And with that, the County's archaeologist representative was chopped down to size without being cherry faced. Time Team has some seasoned word sparring combatants/veterans, they are subtle, but apply brute force when the need arises and know when to tag team their opponent. Another one to watch is Stewart, he's the word assassin like a Ninja. Listen, observe, and apply Grasshopper. :o)

Many medical diagnoses are educated guesses as well. The more educated the guess, the more likely it is to be correct. A huge amount of knowledge about times past has already been unearthed - and as time, technology and experience progresses, the guesses get better.

@@veronicagee4335 if you are a regular viewer one knows this. and also knows the - spiel - of Tony with his 3 days. most of the time what Time team is doing is on a long weekend. when one looks at the end of the credits, one can see where all those people come from and where they are working. and WIKI gives also a not to bad idea about them. But for sure local archaeologists are on hand long before that. and obvious, someone will have to to the proper recording and clean up and preserving afterwards. I am also sure, and it does not bother me at all, most of this bantering, talking and explaining is rather carefully scripted. to explain to US, who kon´w nothing about archaeology, what is going on.and why and where. Suppose for that HRM made Tony Robinson a SIR:..

@thesteelrodent1796 Жыл бұрын

the 3 days come from Mick Aston stating you learn the most about a dig in the first 3 days, and that became the concept for Time Team. It also worked well for TV as they could shoot the whole thing over a weekend, where all their experts had the time to do it. There are a few episodes where Mick says "we all have to go back to work on Monday" when trying to convince the silly owners of some lawn that they won't be digging around forever @@benediktmorak4409 they used a lot of archeology students who got credit for doing actual field work - most the digging crew was volunteers. And once all the "big guys" went home on Sunday night (usually they stopped by Sunday 6-7 pm), it was all the others that stayed behind to record everything and fill in all the holes
