Putting her in a stripy jumper probably her parents’ idea of cute ... which it is 🙂

He's not underrated; you'll hear nothing but praise and admiration for him in the comments.

It's more that he's not flashy, I think. While the archeologists are digging and getting excited over finds, Victor will happily be drawing away in some corner of the site.

I adore Victor! He was so soft-spoken that he didn't really stand out in a crowd...until you saw his work! He was INCREDIBLY talented, a talent constantly toned down by his laid-back, easy-going approach. But his talent screamed no matter how quiet he seemed to be.

@@mermeridian2041 Exactly

Who says he's under-rated? He would not have been hired if he wasn't top shelf.

I, too, like the experimental archaeology. I hope the reconstructed Roman crane is in a local museum or library.

I know, I dont get it!! Not everyone who loves Time Team speaks/writes English as a 1st language!

@@ktritsch4009 Even those who don't should learn to spell and *reason* before they write or speak, like our friend FESERFACE. I can read, write and spell in both American and British English, and I'm not uncomfortable in Australian. I also speak and read Spanish, in both Mexican and Colombian, with a smattering of Cuban and Catalan thrown in to keep it interesting. The problem here is the apparent hurry to publish, eschewing the need for an editor.

This is a great episode. Cheers

@@SaposJoint get over yourself, probably.

I think it's funny when she says she found it and no one was there, but diggers were behind her.😊

The fact that he called mick a stupid man lololl Phil is so damn sassy :')

We enjoyed being there. Wish I could do it again.

+Theban Ned Greenman Interesting - is there a site recording the excavation of the Abbey 'giant'?

Gordon Smith In those days all the archaeological records were 'paper based'. i hope that 1960's excavational data will be put in electronic format. I am not aware of the 1960's Cirencester excavations being put on the internet....yet.

+Theban Ned Greenman Thanks Ned.

Gordon Smith Some 'old' records are appearing on the net .....egs www.cotswoldarchaeology.co.uk/content/uploads/2011/06/Cirencester_Anglo_Saxon_Church__Medieval_Abbey_Final.pdf www.cotswoldarchaeology.co.uk/content/uploads/2011/06/Romano_British_Cemeteries_at_Cirencester_FINAL.pdf ......but I have not yet found the details of the 'dig' that I saw.

+Theban Ned Greenman Thanks for the leads Ned, they should be very interesting reads. As an aside: Many years ago I was a member of a group of schoolboys on a day trip to Cirencester parish church. On the way we were diverted to an excavation of a Dobuni site - the only memory I have is the archaeologist was a woman and she was excavating a hearth.

I'm just curious - who owns the stuff in the back yard? Does the owner end up with the stuff that Time Team digs up or does it end up in a museum? Is the stuff considered legally to be a hoard, or does that only apply to coins and gold, etc.?

Sorry - just ignore this since someone answered a similar request below. I should have read further!

As you imply they were/are good friends.

That's Robin Bush. He was the show's historian, not an archaeologist and he was on the show from the beginning up to the end of the 9th season.

@@jimgore1278 Sorry, I was referring to old geezer at 18:06, Richard Reece roman coins expert. Guy knows his stuff, as does Robin of course.

@@madcowusa4277 Being an old geezer myself, I'm not sure how to respond. Ha, ha, ha.

@@madcowusa4277I presume that lots of people show up when time team comes to the area they live in or work in and don't feel like following them around the country regularly. I imagine the time team regulars let their old profs and people they worked on digs with know when they are in their back yard.

We'll just have to assume it was commented upon off camera ;)

@@Libbathegreat -- yes, especially since there is obviously already a cameraman inside the house when Mick walks by. But no matter: the little girl has the biggest grin when they open the door; she knows why she's got it on, and that's what really matters

If you're still interested, a house right between the two excavated lawns is for sale at the moment.

There have bee several. Yours is actually the 8th.

Nope, sorry, but they still do a good job . But you should try time team extras Robin narrates them😊

interesting idea!

Such an incredible idea!!!! I wish people would do stuff like that !

It can't be damaged which means, if it were a field, no deep ploughing or possibly no ploughing at all. Presumably the ground preparation for the _crazy golf course_ would have had similar restrictions.

It aired January 9, 2000, so it was filmed in 1999. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Time_Team_episodes

It seems after for a while, there was one each dig😊

@@user-hy7zb2vl3t indeed^^

Wystyria Season 7 was aired beginning in 2000. Time Team season 1 aired in 1994. The final season 20 episode was aired March 24, 2013 according to wiki and the Time Team website. Episode list Wiki Link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Time_Team_episodes The Time Team website is here: www.channel4.com/programmes/time-team

@@CompetitiveAudio I think it must have been filmed in 1998 or early 1999. I can only claim that because I was in it but left the UK in August 1999.

Not them but it was or will be done.

The government takes any finds and can turn the garden into a permanent archeological site.

Darren Bianco most of it goes on E.bay along with metal detector finds. ££££££'s

not even vaguely true. Coins and precious metal is declared treasure trove over a certain amount (3 or more coins) otherwise you can keep small finds if they are on your land. Even with big finds you will be paid the value (or a good proportion of the value) of the find. And under no circumstances can your garden be appropriated as a permanent archaeological site. Darren Bianco Your name , and the fact that you called your garden a 'yard' suggests you're american. If you find a hoard of Roman coins buried in your garden in America you'll become famous !

I've been binge watching these strait through from the beginning. There was and episode where Tony said a hoard is 6 or 7 or more coins found in the same place. I think it was the one with the 2 metal detector guys that found things over a twenty year period then called time team. Then they got pissed when English Heritage I think it was took over the site. I dont remember what season it was though.

@Darren: British people are encouraged to hand over the findings they discover in Britain via the Treasure Act of 1996. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Act_1996. Essentially the findings if valued by a historical/archeological/educational institution are allowed to bid for the findings and the discoverer is paid for the find in cash. This can be incredibly lucrative - the discoverer of the Staffordshire Hoard is now a multimillionaire.

@@execation *_The Goose Steps Out,_* a *Will Hay* movie will explain.

Foiled again. Every single time I take a chance, and think I know how to pronounce these UK place names, I'm absolutely wrong. Was ready to embarrass myself by calling this place "Chirenchester", ha! :D

+Apollo Bikes try the bbc website

+saiyaniam It wasn't made by the BBC. It was produced by the commercial station Channel 4. They block it from youtube because the adverts have been edited out. They want to force fans of Time Team to watch if on their own website where you can't fast forward and are compelled to watch 15 minutes of adverts.

@@TheSpikehere I dont disagree, and am nothing to do with the channel; but, at least Channel 4 made this show for many years...the BBCs archaeology programmes are 95% dry as dust, 'educational' style and talk at rather than talk too, with personalities like this lot; the BBC could have taken up Time Team, ..when Channel 4 lost interest, but didn't

@@andrewwyatt1784 I think that after decades of ground breaking TV (no pun intended) the BBC ended Chronicle and launched "Timewatch" a joint project with a US channel. So when the idea of Time Team was first mooted it had to be Channel 4 or nowhere. As for what happened when Channel 4 ended it, I'm not sure if it was ever offered to Aunty.

@@TheSpikehere Chronicle is excellent , so are many BBC early history programmes, but dry, and as you reference "Auntie" is the word!..authoritarian, where they should be in there first, with commissioning popular at all levels, series like Time Team

Seems to be everything 😊

dont be so hard on yourself, you are someone ;)

*Reijer* doesn't have *English* as his first language. When he was posting this he probably just wrote what he heard.

Yay 2024😂

where?

No it’s not. You are reaching. Nice try though lol. But there have been quite a few innuendos in other episodes 😂

@@ChipCadenceHave they never found a piece of a bollocks dagger?

Is that you in the background?

@@qthelost aue

I never noticed. I worked at SG at one point. :/

Carranza? Dunno.

+NoYouAreNotDreaming Don't you mean a bottle of champaign? I think that was the wager, wasn't it?

+NoYouAreNotDreaming Yes, she got a bottle of US Budweiser and the guys got their Champagne. These videos are slightly shorter than the original broadcast. Due to the differing lengths in advert breaks between Channel 4 and Discovery. You'll also notice in later series that Channel 4 themselves shifted from 2 ad breaks per hour long show to 3 ad breaks. In effect cutting the programme from 50 minutes to 45 roughly.

TheSpikehere oh US Pisswasser lol..GTA making fun of budweiser

*Reijer* doesn't have *English* as his first language. When he was posting this he probably just wrote what he heard.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "die" is the very old way , the modern way is dice for both singular and plural.

Oh. 'Ardin'. I was wondering who young Arden was.... Silly me.

So what? What has that got to do with the archeology?

I think they had a team take over after the 3 days.

The premise of the show was set up to be 3 days because the people doing the digs and the experts all have regular jobs and do this on the weekends. Mick and the others wanted to find a way to show live archaeology on TV since all there was previously were dry documentaries showing already dug ruins and history lectures that the general public had no interest in. Some archaeology in general is only exploratory, meant to establish what's under the dirt, the age, how deep it's buried and if it's at risk from plowing or development. This is what time team is showing us. After they do the digs and write up their very professional and extensive reports it is up to local and national museums, universities, etc. to decide whether or not to follow through. A great example of follow-up archaeology is the St. Mary's cathedral dig and the much longer follow up dig done by archaeologists after. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLylpNqrzLW5op8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZqTf6WjvNa1h6s.html

cost. The show was eventually scrapped because the budget for each episode was so high. They have to hire machinery, have a bunch of professionals and tidy up afterwards, as well as all the film crew and production.

@@kc3718 no, it was canceled *after 20 years* because Dr. Aston got so frustrated with the Channel 4 producers that he quit. They did their best for Series 20, but without Mick and Stewart, they couldn’t keep it going.

Shard is glass, sherd is pottery. Or so I've been told.

You think? The singular of dice is not "dei," but "die."

kha sab Indeed. Gloucester still is the county town of Gloucestershire. The ghastly administrative entity of "Bath and Avon" is a legacy of Harold Wilson's failed communist government.

kha sab Get some therapy you oversensitive Asian turd.

+kha sab The word is 'spelled', not 'spelt'.

Fedra Haldane No it's not. Both forms exist.

Milander just milander No it's not. In the US spelt is a grain, not the past tense of spell. I'll take kha sab's word for it that in the UK it's interchangeable, but not here.

I wouldn't assume that. Mick was very active in engaging with the public at digs. They may gave gotten it on film, but just not had time to include it. The fact that they included shots of her is proof that they were aware of her.
