➤ Time Team's Top 3 BACKYARD FINDS 

I'm a 42 year old hvac technician in Mobile, Alabama and I can positively identify Saxon pottery. Thanks Time Team.

My greatest garden find was a Chewbacca toy from the early 1980’s. Minus it’s right arm. I cleaned him up and now he stands on one of my kitchen window sills.

I met Tony - he is an absolutely lovely fella. Extremely cordial and pleasant chap.

My ADHD loves time team because it’s solid information, in small bite size bits. Everything I’ve learned from time team over the last 25 years has made me look much more intelligent than I actually am in conversations with people much smarter than me haha.

I laughed entirely too long at "come and see the dead Roman..." being said to school children. 😂😂😂😂

I’ve been watching for so many years I feel I’ve grown old with Tony and the gang. I still love watching these episodes.

Seeing Mick Aston with his multi-coloured jumper once again is so poignant.😢

My best backyard find was a Clactonian flint lithic (material source, Leicestershire / Lincolnshire chalk), teardrop shaped, 150 x 120 x 50mm, with retouching and signs of use; a classical rhyolite flake 80 x 30 x10mm, with retouching (material from Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire); a hunk of fossil bone. All found when digging a flower bed in my own garden and dated to the post-Anglian Ice Age circa 450,000 B.C. They were the first ever Palaeolithic finds from this area of the southern West Midlands and are now in the British Museum.

Miss ya Mick

Time Team was such fantastic show.

Its important to understand the past to see where we are going in the future. Great work Time Team. Keep digging.

I don't think Stewart gets the respect he deserves sometimes.

the kid at 50:38 is diggin hard for that ancient history lol!

Tony I love your energy and have to say you give us a fair shake on finds, thoughts and history. Thank you to all of the Time Team.

Tony is such a breathless little pixie who always has "just three days!!!"

Tony told off for skiving off the job by Phil lol

Potteryville was it? Just up the road! That's Monty Python!..."Dog Biscuits"

I'm so fascinated and jealous. I wished I could be this kind of scholar when I was younger

I love watching how the history is revealed, including the false starts and misidentified elements that keep viewers and experts guessing. I had the pleasure of meeting Robin Bush, the original archivist on TT, about twenty ish years ago before he sadly passed away and as well as an immense amount of knowledge and a great love for history he also had some wonderful "behind the scenes" tales.

50:35 the poor boy picking his nose will now be immortalized.

Wonderful program. I know it's an old show, but it's the first show I've seen that isn't raining. On the contrary a wonderful sunny day.

LiDar would have been incredibly helpful at the Priory dig. It may have helped in exposing the remaining structures in order to give a better vantage point to the layout.

I always enjoy your programs and so wish I could visit the historic UK.

Thanks to time team, I know more of Britain's history than of my own country's...

skeletons in the shed needs a second dig.... super intresting. so many layers of history.

Most ingenious moment of this episode for me was at 39:47 when one of the guys uses a camera lens as magnifiyng glass. It really works and it's simply a cool workarounf.

I love living in the US, but our lack of history that extends back for centuries is kind of a bummer. I love stuff like this.

Mick definitely had the right tank top.

..by the looks of some of the local helpers, a genetic survey might help too..bet there's more Saxons above ground than below!

Re: Littlington As a geologist and gardener, I suspected that the villa was where the village is now. Reason 1: Landowners would have put the village in the ruined soil of a demolition site, not on good agricultural fields. A medieval village, with its higgledy-piggledy streets, could be built around the ruins, and in addition, using the old site meant hauling robbed stone a shorter distance. 2. I don't think I've ever seen such poor soil and such desperate-looking grass in any other English garden. And the people digging look like they're digging into a pile of bricks. I believe the soil on this site has never recovered from being strewn with the wreckage of the villa. I'm particularly suspicious of the plaster.

The kid picking his nose at 50:39 is probably still getting razzed for it to this day.

My three favorite Time Team garden digs were the Iron Age round house in Waddon, the Roman buildings in Papcastle, and the Anglo Saxon cemetery in Raunds.

I'm listening with an old houndog who lost his sight and bark in the last 18 months and he's digging the descriptions.

Phil in shorts 😍 Bendoverjustonemoretime 😊

Mick is without his striped sweater. Be still, my foolish heart!

Wick Dive/Wick Hamon is my all time favourite dig

There is so much history under or feet in England, it must be hard to find places with nothing! I wish we could find more evidence to show what life was like here before, during and immediately after the sea inundation/tidal wave that destroyed Doggerland.

I love the way these have been edited, I can get three episodes done in an hour👌

The 2 episodes that I remember the best are The King Of Bling, and that one with the scammer who threw some artefacts on his land that he had for sale, to make it more valuable. (A sword on top of barbed wire, coins and buttons in a well but they were all affected by their previous surroundings in different ways etc.)

Cool shot of a couple of hang-gliders at 25:32. (I had to zoom in on it to make it out due to the distance.)

it's just so interesting what ever you find,i sometimes wish i was there.

Fantastic work

they really had those childrens attentions...did you see how enthrauled the little boy was who was picking his nose..?? chuckle..

Tony always running like he stole something. 😂

always love this.

Good God, the commercials are very intrusive, RU-vid.

Thanks!

Mick was great👍🇬🇧

Some great to see your collection of glass seals. I happened upon a beautiful 17th century glass seal while digging, detecting in a field! Keep up the inspiring work. #tidelineart

Why didn't they do this dig a few weeks later, after the wheat had been harvested?

Fantastic work by the team! Though every time I watch these I keep thinking I bet they are kicking themselves about not listening to Phillipa Langley 😂

We had this show on the telly in New Zealand, not anymore, hasn't been screened for many years.

This was a fun find . Jenny 🇨🇦

It must've been one very hot day in Blighty. How rare. 30°F+?

Great to find the old team again with the new members,.Be Blessed thankyou

Thanks.

Matt Williams. What a legend

haha! That kid listening to Phil talk about the bath house - is probably 25 years old now and been on TV once - claim to fame - picking his nose!!!🤣

Three days on a budget to explore our history and an unlimited budget for war to kill people we never met. I love the way we live out lives.

Thanks

I truly have enjoyed discovering "Time Team" (since about 2017 or 18) and it is a subject connected to my areas of Degrees (Sociology, History, Journalism) I remain interested in these areas, have continued studies and research in the Sociology and History areas. I've come to adore the various personalities of this group, even though I don't share their "Mainstream Academic" perspective, I value their learned skills. "Mainstream Academia" follows a "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline", and this stands in opposition to the "Standards of Science and Research", which prohibits using a Theory as Fact, and as a "Tool of Comparison",, (in application to Research, Academia, Education). The "Standards of Science and Research" were the center of my training and studies in University. My Advisor and also Instructor in a couple of Semesters, was Head of the Department of Sociology, and it was a Premium level College of Sociology within the University of Memphis. This whom fully adhere to the Standards are known as "Authentic Academics", and I expect the "Mainstream Academics" will merge into the "Authentic Academic" group over the next 5+ years, as findings in DNA, and newer discoveries in SE Turkey, continue to emerge with amazing facts that are placing us in a far greater fact-based plane. Once the momentum gets moving, it will be like Niagara Falls in it energies, and with abundant discoveries. That is most exciting to anticipate. Best Thoughts and Wellbeing to all ... Beth Tennessee

Stewart is the nuts

King Anna and his son were both killed there in battle.

Hi Guys, Your programs are very interesting. Just one question, what do you do with the holes you dig? Obviously you don't take them with you, but do you fill them in?

All that wheat and they didn’t take the opportunity to make some crop circles before they flattened it all. 😂

He sounds like the fellow from Black Adder

The nose picker at 50:40 ish....😂

8:57 Dog biscuits..what he actually means is petrified dog shite...

Penny's back garden was unquestionably the loveliest.

must have been one of the few days with sunshine ?

Raksha at nine minutes forty six 🙂 dead cool

Alright I'm traveling to the next village to do some trading, I'll be back in ten minutes..

A Time Team dig W/O any rain ?

the drawing of the church @ 13:37 almost matches a church in Willard, Ohio

0:55 Knights do not wear bloody short, come on man !

24:23 Not Death Valley - Middle Earth

Babbling Britt !

how the heck does the guy dating the pottery at 10:25 know it is 10th century? And to imagine how it looked like. From just 1 small piece. I think that is amazing skill.

Wouldn't the famer harvest the wheat first before it was flattened?

The best part is the kids.... Shall we dig together......No... A bath house...you say....I'll just pick my nose...

Long ago, to lengthen a vowel in writing, scribes just added a random vowel after it. The English “Cloister”, pronounced as oyster, is a diphthong. It should be pronounced more like the Dutch “Klooster”, pronounced as oh in oh dear. Just saying.

Can somebody tell me why the trenches are watered?

50:39 Really? The editor must have pissed himself laughing to leave this in.

Its only 300 plus to get started

why not use Lidar?

Robert temple pedigree , much stuff was sold or given to people in United States of artifacts ancient

Lol. Put these hardy hats on for the bbc

Oh no ,we found a brick

Backyard? Were these three finds in the US?

Quick thought... if you did more than 3 days you could find out more?

15:45 Shes really going for it! lol

Abu is it always underground ? Is the world getting fatter?

As much as I like them, Ben, and Niel were definitely the lead fappers.

lol. Bob the builder? LOL.

Can't beat time team. Digging for Britain not as good

Why do these fellas always do these shows when the crops are almost ready or well on the way? Can't they fit in their work after/before the farmers work?

I can't stand Tony Robinson, he is such a rude man in real life. Which is a shame because I love this programme. Coming from York with it's rich history, I remember time team visiting.

Too many adds , 4 in 8 minutes, I’m out

The artificial hyped up "contest" between the archeological teams is phoney, distracting, and insulting. What is this? a bake off?

that would have to be one of the most ridiculous and annoying english accents 13:14😒
