Thank you for this interesting bit of trivia.

❤

Wow Thank you for the interesting backstory...

I have seen most of the shows three times. Will continue to watch the old shows for the presenters of new are just not interesting.

I was wondering about the time limit as a new viewer. I really respect the intention and how well it seems to have been executed! This show is a really good look into professional archeology in an accessible format.

And it was indeed great news!! After all, the only thing better than Roman Pot is BC Pot!

Romans drank wine, mostly. Beer was looked down on by the snobs of the time (they used some pretty nasty words for Belgian ale), but I'm sure locals would've enjoyed something like it.

@@restezlameme the troops recruited locally would surely enjoy a cold one. And they also introduced the romans to the benefits of trousers and closed shoes in british weather.

Sadly this isn’t new. Just re released

This is from Season 9, episode 6. I haven’t found it in the usual TimeTeam replays, this one was in my catalogue as from History Hits.

LOL, yeah, I also noticed that, but I don't think it is a pipe, but instead a rounded stone from the gravel that fell and left the hole. The side of the trench has lots of those protruding.

i've always wondered why spectacular archaeology on private property hasn't been completely excavated, surrounding land reduced in grade, and the remnants not incorporated into newer buildings and re-used. Think Windsor Castle... The tourist trade alone would be large.

Some developer would come along and buy it, thrna "mysterious" fire would happen and demolition started before the smoke blows away.

or the drunken ceasar😂

I am not to the point in this video where the word is used but I am almost certain that this will answer your question. The word xiphos (ξίφος) is a short sword. The word zythos (ζυθος) is beer.

@@John.Flower.Productions Thank you sir!

@@dietrichess9997 No problem. What was the 46.17 in your comment?

@@John.Flower.Productions Near to the closing credits, 46 minutes, 17. That was the last time I heard Tony say the word. I suppose I should have tried turning on the subtitles, but thanks again. 🍻

@@dietrichess9997 That is what I thought it was but no one is talking at that point in the video that I watched. How long is your version of the video? (If you use : rather than . it will create a time stamp.)

Because in general digging into previously dug places is a waste of time, and the recording of the previous dig, despite being amateur, was really good. It already provided much info, which was interpreted by the current archeologists. Knowing that they really needed to confirm the context, and look for the stores front. there they hit the jackpot, the tessellated floor.

​@@KingNoTailYa know a neat rule of thumb, you can guess how old an episode of Time Team is by now much hair Tony has!

Full head? Time team? Even in Blackadder days it was thinning!

Nah, their pot bellies give them away... 😂🤪

Another way to tell is by the stage of wrinkles, I swear the man has never heard of moisturizer or sun screen even though he spent so much time on screen. For those wondering, even on a cloudy day UV makes it through!

Tony also has earrings in the older show, this one aired in 2003.

Wut

because Odyssey doesn't do original content. Everything on here is at least 20 years old

Uploaded to odyssey maybe. Been on youtube for years.

Better late than never.

Believe or not there are adults younger than ourselves who would enjoy seeing this! Life did not stop while we aged, lol.

because of all the roots and plants. The only form of geophysics they did at this time was electro-resistance, and it doesn't work when you have dense vegetation because the plants show up bright and make it impossible to see if there's anything else

I find your use of all caps rude!

Sounds like when it was originally discovered by the amateur archaeologists they were asked to keep it a secret

Or discreet? Two different words

Sounds like New Zealander's visiting the UK today!

WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED FOR THEM TO DO? THIS IS AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SHOW NOT A GARDENING OR NATURE LOVERS HIPPY SHOW. PEOPLE CUT TREES ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, THAT'S HOW HUMAN CIVILIZATION SURVIVE....THAT'S ALSO WHAT MADE YOUR HOUSE AND FURNITURE. IF YOU DONT WANT TO CUT ANY TREES DONT LIVE IN A HOUSE GO LIVE IN A CAVE.

Phil is from Wessex, and his is a definitely not usual accent in England!

Call it whatever you want. Pub, bar, ale house, etc

Most of the soldiers were not Roman in origin but came from various places around the Empire. For example, TT says somewhere (not this segment) that the Roman invasion of Britain included a legion from what is now Armenia.

WHAT ANIMAL? THIS IS NOT A WOOD IN THE COUNTRYSIDE...ITS JUST OUTSIDE LONDON...NOT FAR FROM THE CITY. THE ONLY ANIMAL THERE PROBABLY RATS AND BIRDS.

yes, rats and birds ... animals...@@wewenang5167

From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $255k in raw profits from just 6 months into the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

I've been solely investing in real estate. But with the recent hyper home pricing i've liquidated a few things and have $45k in cash laying around idle. Would love to get your recommendations, I'm in search of something lucrative in the current crazy markets, i will be glad.

This is a phenomenal advice for a new stock traders and investors who want that quick short term game, but don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

@@katrinatyler675My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in, plus i dont do that by myself. i follow the trades of Mrs Karen Gaye Gray.

She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial advisor as her diversification skills are top notch, because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis, unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.

It’s a tv show with a budget you can do one dig for six weeks a year or you can do a bunch of really great 3 day digs each season

Mick, Phil and John had _real_ jobs/careers to attend to during the week. Beyond that, it would have been quite challenging to cram six weeks worth of work into an hour program.

It was meant to be a form of investigative dig. They try to obtain as much evidence as possible in 3 days to see if there is any need for a more extensive dig later. Digs take some funding and it is cheaper to do short digs to get evidences before approval for more funding than to gamble loads of funding and achieve nothing.

​@@beohel you answered the question perfectly! It was a one hour show so if they had done a six week dig the amount of information they could cram into wouldn't be alot. Plus it would have cost an arm and a leg to film. ✌🇨🇦👍💯

Yep it’s a TV show, everything has to happen quickly. Have you ever watched the show called Oak Island, been going forever and nothing happens, probably never will. Keep them coming Tony.

Perhaps they will or would if you financed it.

@@johnmoss6631I would, but they stopped making this show a long time ago. I just request some variety in what is uploaded on YT.

@@karlkarlos3545 Those episodes are out there. You have to “ dig” them up.

THE ROMAN WERE FASCINATING ENOUGH FOR ME, AS A MATTER OF FACT MORE FASCINATING THAN THE VIKINGS OR DARK AGES. DIGGING THE ROMAN ARE MUCH EASIER THAN DIGGING THE DARK AGES BECAUSE THE ANGLO SAXON AND VIKINGS ARE KNOWN TO BE NOT VERY CIVILIZED AND JUST BUILD WITH WOOD AND MUD AND ALL THEIR STRUCTURES ROTTEN AWAY BY TIMES, THEY DIDN'T EVEN MADE A LOT OF POTS BUT USED WOODEN UTENSIL AND BOW, INSTEAD. THE ONLY THINGS THEY ARE KNOWN FOR WERE MAKING WEAPONS AND JEWELRY...SOMETHING NEVER CHANGED EVEN TODAY ANGLO SAXON DESCENDANTS ONLY MAKE WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND LOVE BLING BLING AND MONEY. WHILE THE ROMANS BUILD MANSIONS, ROADS AND MANY AMAZING TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES. THAT IS WHY THE AGES WHEN THE ANGLO SAXON CAME WAS CALLED DARK AGES BECAUSE HUMAN IN BRITAIN BECAME BACKWARDS AGAIN AFTER THE ROMAN LEFT. FROM HEATED FLOOR AND TOILET WITH PLUMBING AND RUNNING WATER IN ROMAN TIMES BACK TO A SMALL HOLE IN YOUR BACKYARDS AND USING DRIED LEAVES TO WIPE YOUR BUM. LOL

@@karlkarlos3545 they are doing new stuff, look it up.
