And not one comb between them.

Every time I see him my first thought is "This is what Winston Churchill and Hermann Göring's baby would look like" 😅

+John Zook i just ordered his book mick's archaeoloy on the net cant wait to read it, he was great.

Robin Bush and Beric Morley have passed away as well :(

@@Gremriel ~ I’m sad about Mick and Robin... can you remind me of who Beric Morley was? I’m new to Time Team. Loving every single minute!

@@suzannecrowe7775 Beric was an architectural historian, who appearead in 10 episodes in early seasons of Time Team..

@@Gremriel Not to forget Ian Barclay the digger driver.

In one of the Irish digs in a later season he's clapping and smoking a cigarette in the background as a band plays.

So true. I wish he was my granddad just for all the incredible, enriching historical stories and facts he knows.

Yes! He could read the phone book and still captivate an audience.

Gheyyyyy im kidding hes a boss

I liked when he showed tony how they take down towers by lighting a fuse and fuckin bookin it with zero warning to tony who just runs whem he sees robin run. He set off a fucking explosion . Lol

That would be English Heritage - now known as Historic England.

They got over it.

Farmer had nothing to no say? Seems to me it was his land, so should have been able to have some input in the decision.

He dyes his hair as much as the older lagina brother from Oak Island

​@@aarontighe553Phil did not dye his hair. It was lighter in the summer and darker in the winter. That is normal for people with his hair type.

The sun lightens his hair so it varies by the season. What I love is his" mutton chops" on his face!!

It's a nice touch of reality...

A field where the farm owner is going to plow it all, where the land owner has the right to plow the dickens out of his field & Call in British heritage to muck up ANY possibility of salvaging anything ? To allow over stuffed pretentious desk jockies to TELL them Where to dig ! Where that can dig.... Makes me wish the land owner/ farmer just plowed the whole thing under. Yes that is a terrible thing to say...but ...

As the series goes on it gets the point where Carainza disagrees with everyone. She gets to the point she starts calling English Heritage behind their back. And then when English Heritage doesn't agree with her she gets very upset. She's the one person out of the entire original team I do not miss I was happy when she left.

Couldn't have been easy for her. Digs usually take a lot longer than 3 days, so for posterity's sake it isn't wise to potentially mess up a site in that time just to make good telly. So from her point of view and EH's, there always needs to be a balance. The problem is that TT tries to make out that it solves a site in 3 days and in that process may go a bit overboard with it's handling of a situation.

Dave shrum, she is just an annoyance on the show. I can’t think if any shows where she really added anything. When she comes on I just hear nails on chalkboard so I just tune her out. I can tell she annoys them too, they typically just talk over her.

From what I can tell, farmers hate it: they loose a chunk of tillage, therefore no money and I don't believe the g'ment pays them for that exempted land at all.

I don't understand why the site has not been dug out completely. Don't the high bosses in archeology-world want to investigate and learn more about what might be under the ground there? Politics.

Your talking about a mancio, its not looking like that. It looks like a governors villa with a bath house maybe next door.

+Stannous Flouride Bang on.

Thanks, I'm going through every episode to add the geographic coordinates because I love looking at the surrounding area on Google Earth while I'm watching the corresponding episodes of Time Team. They're often very telling and show crop or parch marks that the show doesn't examine.

+Stannous Flouride Am I doing somthing wrong here? Your coordinates is not understood by gogle Andd the have another form Lik 55 deg nn min and sec North, south east and west. Y?

I have found that when I put that decimal form into Google Earth, it converts to the typical Longitude and Latitude. But the primary meridian numbers don't change so it is obviously just a decimal conversion of the minutes/seconds part of the coordinates. But it does take me to the same spot in either format.

The property is just north of the T intersection at Orchard Ln and Primrose Hill, north of the village. As of Feb 2020, the Googlemaps satellite image shows the fields look plowed like any other.

I agree. I support scheduling to protect sites, but I also feel that consideration should be shown to the landowner. What you suggest is very sensible, and in fact that government should be obligated to prioritize an excavation if the landowner can show that scheduling is causing extreme financial difficulty. Perhaps where it is a question of plowing, there should also be government funded programs to raise the level of top soil above the site over the field so a landowner would be able to plow his own field without fear of damaging the site below.

I listened again to response of the farmer to this investigation. He seems to be very interested in the protection of any important archaeological site. Maybe he is able with the plans available to work around the target area and has a level of pride in the find. But of course economics are economics. Maybe he could investigate how he could use his property to generate revenue without damaging the site. The thing that does worry me though is that it will take so long to decide whether his area is a protected site or not. He did look very worried.

Given how long the UK has been inhabited and all the archaeology there I don't understand how they're able to do anything because almost everything seems to be scheduled they can't change their buildings cuz they're scheduled. And as far as I know none of the property owners or building owners get any sort of compensation.

I agonized when plowing decimated a find, on the other hand, I feel the blessing/curse that land owners must feel when something is found.

@@daveshrum1749 If you goto the Historic England website and "search the list" you can read about every SAM. Landowners can negotiate a management agreement and receive some payment if there's a monument to protect on their land.

Leopararouen Glad to give you a laugh, and my apologies to Zap. I've learned so much from watching Time Team, but now... the flatulence of cats. It was like a sudden small burst of insight.

Hundreds at least, possibly thousands. A Roman Villa back then was just a rich persons house.

Me too, and not really knowing what it is you're "preserving". What is the point of scheduling a site you haven't even ascertained what is yet? I could understand it if the local archaeologists had been able to promise to dig it next season or so but this was just silly. Something is here and someday somebody may come along and find out what. Or maybe not, as English Heritage, after all that fuss, might have decided that there wasn't enough evidence to schedule the site after all.

It actually makes perfect sense to document and preserve sides. Digging up stuff doesn't do any teaching at all and shelving finds somewhere has the same effect as leaving it where it is, with the added advantage of preserving it way better than it would be above ground. In order to learn something from whatever is found at a side needs people, time and money - lots of money. There are shelves full of artifacts dug up and found in the 19th century in Greece by Heinrich Schliemann that haven't been studied and curated to this day. So what is the point of "having" it?

@@CologneCarter Horse shit. Graduate students can and do build an entire career examining archived artifacts, which could Never happen if you left them in situ. According to you they should have left the Antikythera Mechanism on the seafloor...

@@a.westenholz4032 Exactly ! But not only that, the field belongs to a farmer who intends to plough it over - how can he know where not to plough, or at what maximum depth, if a precautionary trench isn't dug to verify the finds and discover the depth of the structures ? English Heritage, for all the good work they may do, are sometimes looking for diamonds in a bag of gold - I.e. ignoring the excellent opportunity just on the off chance it may one day present a greater find. But that cannot be known until an exploitative dig is carried out !!! 😕

At least these days there are *professionals* who are not egotistically driven, so they understand that in the future humans will be able to do a far better job. Being selfish in the present has always done damage to what could have been learned in the future. If you watch this program a bit more carefully, you'll learn this is just a simple fact. Or do you guys really think you know more about archeology than Mick, Phil and crew? Because they all agree.

Nope. Phil is not a Saxon. They tested his DNA and he is pure Celt. He was very pleased when they told him that.

They should get compensation and I believe if they petition English Heritage i.e. by filling out the proper forms they can.

Yes, they are your ancestors; everybody of European descent traces back to them, as part of the breeding population of medieval Europe. We’re all distant cousins.

tempus ipsum = latin to italian = warcraft. google traslate sucks in latin.. tempus ipsum is "time only" not "time team" is more rigth "manus tempus" or "grex tempus" is a total mess google translate in latin.. exemple: manus in english become hands (in italian mano is hand) but if you try to translate manus in italian he write braccia (arms) but manus is hand or : violence, power, authority, combat, work, army.. is not easy the latin but google is totaly broken on the latin.. if you write something in italian and you translate in latin and by the latin in italian and go on at one point he start to become "alive" and he talk on random subgect sometimes is very creepy.. one time i have translate a "big" test from italian to latin.. and i start play whit the bottom of swic.. at one point all the text change e he write only "i see you".. probably now i whant pay for see my face at that moment..

Tony Robinson did not have as much skin in the game as the others did. They had professional reputations to look out for, while he was just interested in good TV. I've always suspected he played a part in sexing up and dumbing down Time Team. It was a mistake to make a person with little scientific background, the face of the show.

except the expert with the hair said it definitely was NOT Aesculapius.

Phil had more than one hat over the years.

not sure its exactly the same. The villa's hypercoarse tiles and heating was air being heated and circulated. But in Bath its geothermal and I am ashamed to say I dont remember tested the temperature when I visited when I was 7. hehe.

hypocaust (did automatic spell correction throw you a knuckleball?)

Because whatever's under the ground is stabilized and relatively safe while digging it up exposes it to the elements. Museums can only hold so much and even the most careful archaeological records will most likely not last forever. Good reasons to leave it alone.

Constantine was acclaimed to have converted to Christianity in 312, but was not formally Baptized until his deathbed in 337 by Bishop Eusebius of Nicomedia. After his alleged conversion in 312, in 313, Constantine issued the "Edict of Milan" decriminalizing Christian worship throughout the Empire, and became a Great Patron of the Church. So his acclaim as the First Christian Emperor stems from his Pro-Christian actions beginning in 313, and his Deathbed baptism is really just a historical footnote. Although Constantine's receiving of this Christian Sacrament is of utmost importance within the Church to be sure.

That was my exact thought also, season one she was tolerable but this is the episode where she starts her obnoxious behavior. She tries to put a stop to the dig using English Heritage, and yes, she goes behind Mick's back in the future, she was after Mick's job. Carenza is sneaky and rides on the coat tails of everyone on TT. Her sneakiness paid off though, she didn't get Mick's job but she got her posh job at Cambridge, but we the viewers won because she was finally off the show for good.

Luck is more likely to exist because it leaves more room for possibilities. So mathematically it is more of a possibility. That said, there is absolutely no way anyone can prove that goddesses and gods do not exist. For instance, even *if* someone was ever able to prove the existence of one goddess or god, that would in no way even remotely imply that other goddesses and or gods do not exist as well. Like them or not, those are the facts.

The idea of partial digs is that future archaeologists will have better techniques that could yield even more information that would be lost if the entire site is stripped to the bottom today. It isn't just Carinza's idea, but the management of the British Government that mandates this.

It is exploratory archaeology. Exploring includes digging trenches.

I agree we should leave things in the ground for this reason; Envision a soon to be future technology when it will no longer be necessary to dig. An MRI for the ground if you will. Where we can take slices by depth and know exactly what is there.The future scientist will laugh and scoff at our destructive barbaric ways. Lamenting at all that was lost. But for now in the present that is what makes a team....varying opinions and then collaboration. Am I too far out there?

J Demo There is another reason for leaving things in the ground, once it is ascertained what is there. The reason is simple and low cost preservation. We don't have the space to dig up everything and anything, preserving it properly above ground and putting it on display for scientist and visitors alike.

Yes of course I must agree that is a valid strategy. And I meant until we have new fantastic technology it should be archeology as usual but with an eye toward moderation.

King of the Anonymous Dead. only YouTub commenters give a rat's ass, as it should be.

Kristine B American pronunciation is skedule , British is generally shedule.

You say “tomato” as the song goes 😜

😂

What are you moaning about?

Carenza may be very intelligent, but she can't keep her damn mouth shut when someone else is trying to explain things. She always butts in and tries to answer for them. Atleast when Tony asks a question, he let's the other person completely answer the question nearly all the time, Carenza doesn't!

janis vogel, if you wish to see a “worthless shank”, then take a good hard look in a mirror.

People are capable of getting the same great idea in more than one place quite independent of each other. Otherwise you have to explain how the Koreans either got to Rome or the Romans to Korea, especially since there is little evidence of this idea slowly making it's way westward through the various cultures.

Wotdermatter How interesting

Independent invention. A good idea is a good idea. No one cares about a bunch of Bronze Age dirt farmers in Korea whose creation didn't go anywhere else. They had sliding doors too..so what? For Western civilization, hypocaust comes from the Romans.
