I enjoy Derek and Lawrence as presenters. They really suit these mini dig episodes ❤❤

Honestly this is the most educational enjoyment possible on this platform. Please come to Canada/US save us from Oak Island archeologists.

“What an honor to spend the day with such professionals.” Hear, hear.

THIS is why my husband and I support Time Team! To preserve History, document it. This wresk to be able to dentro date the timbers and at some point, raise what timbers are left, along with the grave slabs and other items on the bottom of the seas floor is very interesting and one that I hope will be shared as this continues!. Thank you both for sharing this. I hope to see more of this in the future.!

It's great having TIME TEAM back, HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2024!! And all the NEW digs!!

Such a rare treat to be able to watch and listen to a factual video that does not distract or obscure with pointless noise and musak. Background noise added to dialog is bad enough but I've lost count of the number of underwater videos where to add to the usual problems of poor audio, water noise and musak are invariable added. It is such a relief to be able to actual hear what is being said.

Site reports like this makes me proud to be a patreon.

Fantastic! A HUGE thank you to everyone involved.

The only thing I miss from the old shows, other then some of our dear departed crew member. Is the 60ish min run times of the older episodes. Still awesome work!

This is the first documentary I've seen about medieval marine archaelogy. Just wow.

Thank you Time Team a proper quality production as always

Viking wrecks in Dublin Quay? The world wonders. There was so much Viking, Norman and English medieval trade there. Low tide in Dublins harbour might prove stunning.

love this and all time team shows

What an exciting wreck to investigate. Marine archaology and shipwrecks has always had my interest. Great new presenters. I will enjoy watching the new team as much as Tony's old team since 3 decades ago. I will be looking forward to new episodes. Good luck in your further adventures, Time Team. Cheers from Denmark.

Probably.. the best 'program' in the world....

Rather than a mortar, could their intended use have been as a crucible for smelting metals with low temperature thresholds, given their size and considerable extra thickness at the base.

Time Team is awesome.

Very cool video! Being a marine archaeologist would be awesome! It would be *great* to dive on a site of an ancient naval battle like the Battle of Actium where the warships of Octavian went up against those of Mark Antony.

What an absolutely fascinating episode. I have seen mortars just like that though not quite as big in Kitchen supply places. Some technologies never change.

Kudos to both the dive and video production teams! Great brief history narrative from Lawrence and Derek (lately known to Time Team Patreon subscribers as “Flash” and “Thunder”).

Nicely done, lads! Thank you for more expeditionary adventures!

Thank you very much!

Start at the tip of Cornwall. Circumnavigate the islands. Survey everything!

This is tremendously exciting!

Another fantastic episode.

Fantastic

Well done lads… great video - and good luck to the future of this ship excavation. 👍

Love these videos!

Omg, right up my street! Cant wait 😊

what an awesome find

Awesome! Thanks so much.

Excellent episode! Thank you

Really enjoyable episode and great insight into the wreck. Keep up the great work! :)

Loved it. Thanks Time Team.

Loved this! Before I got sick, I had hoped to do some underwater archeology

This is great. What a fun and educational watch! Thanks!

So Cool!! Thanks guys👍🏼❤

Well done! It's nice to know that such good archeologists are out there working away.

Really like these comentators, they have almost the same energy as Tony did. Like it a lot. ❤

Thank you.

Been really looking forward to this!

Got my drinks sorted!

Excellent program, hope more of the same coming, well done.

Great, guys! Really enjoyed that!

Very good

Gorgeous patina on that piece. Incredible video. Thanks guys so much ✌️💙

Superb! Great production and presentation too. Thank you to all involved for bringing us the story of this fascinating wreck.

What an amazing episode. Keep up the great work team.

What an amazing site! Can't wait to see what you do next!

Happy day! A new TT episode! I loved it. Many, many thanks TT crew!

Lovely little episode

Very cool!

♥️🇬🇧😀 you wouldn't think it possible in this day and age.. watch T.V. and come out cleverer. Well done everyone 😊

Very interesting stuff. Fascinating to see things that were under water for so long

I'm so happy to have discovered Time Team is back. Will definitely be on Patreon as soon as finances allow!

Great content and a well executed episode. The boys are good!

Come on, I'm ready 😀👍

Nicely presented, fellas.

The second piece they brought up from the bottom they were calling a mortar.. In fact that was a foundry crucible for melting and pouring molten metal

I wonder if that mortar with the spouts is actuallly for smelting metals.

That was interesting, the beams came from the Irish oak forest that supplied the timbers for the Salsbury Cathedral

Dang, I'll have to buy another shirt to boost production value.

I sometimes miss the original team. But the new one is hella talented, and easy on the eyes. So I guess I'll allow it. ;-) Lol.

That dive was on my birthday. Cool.

Excellent show; glad that i can finally see one, since pattern has been screwing up .... haven't been able watch a single show.....

That looks to me like a crucible/ladle for carrying and pouring liquid metal

Big fan of underwater archaeology, so was very excited to find this. Really appreciated the mindfulness at the end there re the human experience of the sailors involved, as well as the bravery of maritime archeologists working in intrinsically more dangerous conditions! Wish the team responded to queries in the comments - would love to hear whether the large object brought up was in fact a mortar or a smelting pot, as various commenters have suggested based on its construction style? (Couldn't find any followup report for the site on the Bournemouth Uni site linked in description, alas, maybe it's still in publication given the dive was only a year ago...?)

The big heavy piece brought up at 18:30 , is that possibly a crucible rather than a mortar? Or perhaps a pot to boil pitch? It definitely appears industrial rather than personal or family use… 🤷‍♂️

*TIME is a CON CEPT & CC = 33*

Underwater sites should ge mroe attention for sure

Lidar Scans have increasingly come into use in later years in terrestrial archaeology. Is it possible to use the same technology when surveying under water to exclude seaweed and other visual obstructions to an underwater archaeological site?

Brilliant. Hopefully the looters don't decide to have a go.

If anyone is interested in the history of the Purbeck stone industry, then for a (very) thorough study on the subject, I'd recommend the book Purbeck Stone, by Treleven Haysom.

They certainly didn't sell much marble in Wales. Is that like selling coals to Newcastle, or down to Norman/ Welsh conflict?

Is there any cultural continuity between the mortars used in the Middle Ages and the mortaria that were used by the ancient Romans/post-Roman Anglo Saxons? In an old Time Team video I remember seeing an area where worn out mortaria (ground down) had been discarded and I wondered whether that style of Roman cooking had completely disappeared.

You mean mad-Jack's Bear chapel, released earler?!

superb, and much appreciated. Question: why was the photogrammetry apparently undertaken after the initial diver explained aspects of the site and stirred up a tempest of silt and weed? Should you not photo survey in as undisturbed moment of the expedition as possible? cheers

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I wonder has there been any diving or archaeological exploration of Aboukir Bay where Nelson (as usual) clobbered the French?

So, a ship whose cargo included the medieval equivalent of food processors. =^[.]^=

I may have missed it but how much water was the wreck in?

Wow, this was filmed last July?

Except....those aren't the same size as the sunk ones????

What happened to Phil and the others?

Cool subject matter, but the audio quality can be challenging for the viewing audience. I would suggest slowing down the dialog and enunciating more clearly. I had a difficult time with the audio, especially when Racheal spoke. Her speech was so fast, the words seemed un-formed and run-on. This video has such awesome material, it could have be a "home run" if a bit more effort in audio clarity and editing was done. I did like the subject matter, but the production / quality issues do not have me anticipating another video. I would enjoy seeing this topic material produced in a better developed format.

Out of interest... why don't we knock up a neutral buoyancy finds tray that can be anchored near the diver's and towed around? Strap the finds tray lifts to a regular "BCD".. The diver can control it with the manual inflator? Saves back and forth trips! 😉👍

Something was missing from this episode. Maybe the energy and banter that I'm used to when watching Time Team for years. It was good, informative, etc just lacking what's always set time team above other similar shows. This is more like sitting in school learning I guess. Nobody's hollering, getting excited, joking around, no beer drinking, etc. It was fine though. I guess. I'm not hating it I'm just not loving it either.

Mis the old cast🤨

The title was very misleading. I was expecting a dive to investigate the wreck of a Mortar - sturdy type of ship (like Erebus that sailed to Antarctica). Bit disappointed to discover the dig was not interested in the ship, just the cargo of stonework.

Who are these two boring new presenters? Tony Robinson used to get on my wick a bit at times but his boundless enthusiasm helped to generate my facination with the subject. Mick and Phil were a great double act and Carenza bringing them down to earth was a delight. What happened to Gus, who disppeared pretty quickly? He started the rot as he was so completely dry and dull without a single spark in him, far too academic for a popular prime time program. He reminded me of Mortimer Wheeler many, many years ago. :-( These two are a tad better but not by much. I understand that people get older and might not want to continue, or even die sadly, but you would have thought that there are people out there who have more going for them than this lot! Perhaps I shall have to confine myself to re-watching the old episodes. Oh lack-a-day!

Dive footage date says July 2022. It's now June 2023. It took a year to put this episode together?

Full of facts, but devoid of character, disappointed, the programme needs slight eccentrics and characters, not a couple of news readers, ya de ya de ya!

I would caution the minority of viewers (like me), who are susceptible to nausea 🥴from “shaky cam” video, that parts of this episode are filmed on a boat and you might just prefer to listen to the episode during those portions.

The commentary is very lightweight & apart from stating the obvious ,is not very informative!

Pleasantly skip over the chapter in history where your ancestors deforested my home land. "the Republic of Ireland, Once considered one of the most heavily-forested regions in Europe, the first major period of deforestation in Ireland during the 12th and 13th centuries. The felling of the forests and the change of land use accelerated in the 16th century when Ireland officially became a British colony. (Or in modern day terms, when we were invaded by our aggresive neighbours Lovely to paint Putin as an evil man, yet ignore how your country came to be an economic power) After the Tudors, deforestation continued during the Stuart and Commonwealth periods, decreasing wildlife biodiversity and gradually alienating the Irish, who had earlier relied on the woods as shelter, dwelling, and source of livelihood. In less than a hundred years the social and environmental effects of deforestation were already visible in Ireland. Native species such as wolves, eagles, birds of prey, and wild cats had dwindled as a result of losing their natural habitats. The Irish people, on the other hand, underwent immense pressure from the British colonisers who had not only bereft them of their shelter and source of income, but also gradually alienated them from their own dwellings in proximity of the woods." journals.openedition.org/etudesirlandaises/6812 Who was more barbarous; the Irish living in harmony with their environment; or the invaders who saw the Oak forests as little more than a resource to be exploited. You Brits are truly barbarous.

If I may be critical - the audio editing in this episode is horrendous.

We dont end sentences here with a whisper....so difficult to follow unless you lip read...how about speaking louder

I hated Time Team with a passion when I was a child. On every single episode they promised to find something historic but by the end of the episode all they ever found was a bit of rubble. They then cut to a computer animation of what building it was supposed to be part of originally. I want you all to go and look at this, in not a single episode did they ever find anything that wasn't a useless piece of old crap. It used to ruin Sundays, Im glad it was cancelled.
