Why do we love and miss Mick Aston? We miss his gentle soul and his amazing insights that delight and inform. He thought things that we often miss. He pulled disparate ideas together like no one else.

What a great communicator Mick Aston! He condenses years and decades of experience into a few sentences and then puts his twist on it in everyday language. A lovely man. Great

Mick Ashton is alway a pleasure to listen to.

I could listen to Mick for hours... he had a way of explaining history as if he was telling a story.

... sadly one week before his 67th birthday we lost a legend. Without him and Tim Taylor , the interviewer in this vid , there would be no Time Team .

RIP Mick, you were instrumental in making archeology cool. you'll be sorely missed.

I find it hard to believe he is gone now. He will be missed

What a man!. Stupid me thought he was a solid rock in my life. His untimely death woke me up to realise that life is so fragile. I feel honored to breathe the same air as he did.

The sort of guy we need more of now in the 2020's

A wonderful man. So very much appreciated for his knowledge.

Mick was such a gift.

I'm so happy to have discovered these. Thanks for making them available - immensely informative

R.I.P. Mick Aston.

RIP Mick, you beautiful man.

My thoughts are that a village grows during the actual building of a large structure; e.g. church, manor, castle, etc. By the time it is completed the form of the village is already entrenched and grows from there. And, RIP Mick. You were a true inspiration and a great man!

RIP Mick - you will be missed

Mick should make DVD series for The Teaching Company about Archaeology

We need to change something today, to create more people like Mick. We don't seem to be producing his likeness anymore

Love him.

Pubs and Churches. Martin Arms, Thornton-in-Lonsdale, Ingleton is a Pub with a church opposite it.

What a wonderful discussion :) I would buy the DVD if offered

- the bones should be stacked high -. .. I have no idea if those exist in England, but the catholic church, and special the Village churches had - bone houses -. we call them - Karners - in German langauge. And every time a new grave was dug and bones were found, they were stacked, often 4 or 4 m high in those Karners. obvious nothing four or five thousand years old, the Churches themselves are not that old.

he spoke in everyones way of talking the new people speak in totally different way which turns me of a program which made me interested in archioligy , the people now try to much to be excited about it and it seems to dominate the original crew and don't understand most people like the way they explain what ever they found

Such a sad loss to Time Team :(

Why is the other man nameless?

How unlike "Naughty Sir Morty," who was the public face of British archaeology in the generation before Mick Aston.

Shame the interviewer didn't have a mic. I can hardly hear what he's saying.

I loved him, but I long to cut that messy hair.
