Corded Ware and Bell Beaker, (AKA Funnelbeaker), cultures are closely related, and were the forbearers of both the Yamnaya, and Mycenaean cultures. Their origins having been traced to the North Pontic Steppe, which places them squarely at the roots of European Civilization. The Bell Beaker People of ancient Europe, were one of the earliest forms of advanced culture, anywhere on Earth, and warrant further scientific investigation.

The purpose of the three-day research is to determine if additional exploration and research is viable for any particular site. Tony clearly states in the opening that there has been research at this site for 30 years. Time Team is only there to determine if it is an important enough area for further investigation.

@LouCadle Жыл бұрын

He is an actor and a damned good amateur archeologist. He's acting as clueless as the audience, to give more people a way in to understanding. The archeologists do the same thing with each other, as told to by the director. "Hey, Phil, explain this thing to me that I actually learned when I was 19 years old while I nod raptly." (Often, and you can count this up over the course of the show to entertain yourself, expert women asking the men, but then, women are trained from birth to pretend they think men are interesting, so their acting clueless and wide-eyed is seamless. It's how they go through grad school too. But they always knew the answer. It's an act. It's television, semi-scripted.)
