Archaeologists Find Prehistoric Man-Made Island In Scotland | Time Team 

Stewart is a legend with his landscape reading skills. I can read perhaps localized sections but cannot put it together as a whole that's really another level.

I love the early Time Team cast the most. Just a group of over educated Hippies, digging up treasures.

Phil is an absolute tank! If i can withstand a fraction of the stuff he goes through when i get his age... unreal.

And it all began with Mick and Phil in a cash-strapped but extraordinary Time Signs ❤️

I got goosebumps when they stood that stone back up after so many generations. I can only imagine the spirits jumping for joy that their lives and practices are being rediscovered and honored. So cool. And I love how it is part of the show to have a well deserved drink and toast to the cool shit they do.

I can't find enough episodes that i haven't seen at least twice. Bring the show back

44:03 that shot, coupled with the new knowledge of all the astounding finds and insights about this site, was sublime

Interesting theory of Dr Lynne Kelly is that henges may have been memory palaces that encoded stories and tradition and natural knowledge. People gathered there and passed along knowledge verbally, using natural and man made features to aid the memory since they had no writing at the time.

I can find the crannog and the circle on current satellite maps. Very cool to follow along where they were working with an actual map off to the side.

Another episode of Time Team that I've never seen before, thank you for uploading!

I've been watching the series for the last few months, (catching up since settling into my camp out here in Europe) was saddened to read of Mick Astons passing,

As Phil would say, "cracking" episode.

Omg does Phil every make me laugh every time here surveying in the water! Soooo funny 😁

Amazing seeing the underwater dig part. Very different from digging on land. I love that wood survives in the water and silt.

my heart is always warmed when ever I watch any of these "time team" videos. thank you ,,you wonderful people. 5/23/20

Beautiful and very interesting episode, thank you! Especially Phil's choice to spend quite some time lying face down in the freezing cold water, and his hilarious hopping over the bottom of the lake, with that futuristic-looking pole, in a diving suit. The entire Time Team, all members of it, are such good sports, and I laughed about Tony, telling us a clue or a plan, and run out of sight almost before finishing his last sentence, popping up a little later with a new discovery that changes the vision of what they expect to find, haha. The spunk and humorous logical remarks of Tony make him one of a kind, don't you agree?

Just found this channel and show! Very cool show! We need a show like this on tv now. This is a great way to get the young into history and archeology and even into the technical sciences. Pretty cool! There is so much history in Europe I wish all the countries over there did this.

You just can't beat a good episode of Time Team whilst devouring tea and crumpets!

So crazy to see other surveyors doing their work. I used to survey myself. Not in England, but in Texas USA. I surveyed the oil fields in midland west of Texas and also surveyed local homes in Fort Worth / Dallas. I wish I would have kept with that career and maybe ended up doing something like this, digging up old sites.

32:00 LOL, Phil is the best part of the whole show xD

Good Lord, this brings back memories... 😊 Just have to start from the beginning s1 e1. Thanks a lot for uploading these. 🙏🏻

32:34 i nearly died reconsidering studying archaeology poor Phil 😂😂😂

Just found this series a few weeks ago. Been binge watching and running out of episodes I did not see before. Found one tonight. Making the best of a freezing cold covid night.

I have always loved Time team, they have the best job in the world. They must enjoy them selves every day. I am soo jelous, wish I had such job.

This was always one of my absolute favourite episodes!!

Phil is the star of this entire series for me...

16 mins in a question comes up, what the water level would have been back then. If Scotland was overgrown by forests that got harvested to fire steam engines, then all those woods would have held significant rainfall and the water table would have been much lower. Another question is about precious objects that seem to have been imported - there must have been some economically value in the region to enable buying the expensive objects that came from very far away and must have been transported via several middle men, each time doubling their price.

I just really enjoy watching the time team working.

This is really cool. I think tribes here in New Hampshire, US did similar things but no one seems to want to look into it. Burial mounds have been taken apart and used for fill.

This has made my day , thank you.

Thank you.

Love the show! They seem to have such a good time!

Love these stories! Soo interesting

I love Time Team. Recently found and binge watching

Wonderful episode, especially as a Flanagan. I was admiring her hair, and when it first revealed her name was so excited. Such a cool site!

Great program!

They are very rare. There is another Crannog, called Mehigan's Island...Lough Allua, near Ballingeary and Inchigheela County Cork, Ireland; the only one. An O'Leary Cheiftian is to have been buried within... ...it is very and beautiful there...see pic's...!

The wood post got me thinking about something. I found a piece of petrified wood that seems to have been a pruned branch at one point. The reason why I noticed it was because I was pruning some bramble (nut trees) encroaching my yard and when I raked the bits and pieces up one of them was heavy and didn't rake well. It honestly looked very much like the bits I had just created except it was old, old enough to be petrified. This is a bit of a curiosity to me to think that many moons ago there was someone in that very spot doing the same thing I was. This is all a fantastic thought until the idea that the forces that would have petrified that limb would also have drastically change the landscape. Surely the same type of vegetation didn't remain there all those years or even come back... I mean what kind of time and forces would have petrified a small limb in the open air that wouldn't have just rotted it??? That said I have found areas where saw dust from modern saws was petrified. What would cause such a thing, or am I somehow mistaken. Any of you scientists know???

Henry Chapman is quite a looker.

One of my favourite episodes . . . which is saying something.

Stewart mvp like every episode

Great Ep!

What gems these video's are

Wonderful Episode

man those highlander have been badasses since stone age times. what a bunch of gangsters, building out a place like that by hand and stone tool. Most people today would break down crying if they had to work like that today.

I love this series ❤️👍😁

So good.

45:52 Tony's been probably carrying this bottle with him for the last 3 days :)

I like Dr. Alison. She is very wise.

My thoughts go to the people who lived there in that time. Did they have fun? Did they do things that made them happy? We know they had some form of worship and buried their dead. I wonder what their daily lives were like and if they enjoyed life.

These Scots sure seem like fun people, I think I need to check all this up close !

Thank you

i love Tony's "join us after the break", it's always impressively staged :D

Very cool I love watching this stuff. Thank you for sharing 🌞🌞🌞

Can you please make this available in Australia? There are many fans here that are missing out

Not a whole lot is known about pre-Celtic Europe but if Irish history is any guide, there were probably five or more people groups that had settled Britian and Ireland before the coming of the Celts.

Time Team: come for the archeology, stay for all the different British accents. Dear internet, please don’t make that dirty.

I love this kind of show. My dear Grama's line was from the Highlands. The McMaths.

Phil looks like he's on Star Trek NG.

"BALDRICK! GO TO SCOTLAND AND DO MY FAMILY HISTORY!" "YES MY LORD! DID YOU WANT A TURNIP AS WELL?" "BALDRICK.....IF YOUR BRAIN WAS A SLIGHT BIT MORE BRILLIANT, WE WOULD ALL BE IN TROUBLE"

The crenock/island in the lake also lines up with the notch and sun.. maybe an extension of the henge.

One has to wonder what types of idiots would downvote this, and their reasoning (or lack of it).

Episode 110 (Series 11, Episode 3): The Crannog in the Loch, Aired: January 18, 2004

A narrow entrance is also good for defence.

Wetsuit Phil! Yeah!

Um , could the 'henge' be a community clock ? (sun dial)

I thought I watched all of the Time Team episodes but this looks totally unfamiliar and is dated 20 May 2020. Did this episode slip through the cracks or is it new?

Tony is the time team Forman. Thanks for posting I love the show.

Bay-an-uck-let, blessings on you, and as you could say, agus oo hane a haritch, you as well my friend. Don't uncover too much... all those lassies might want to make you their unmasked man. After watching the entire video, I see it as locals being raided, building their island retreat, but being chased out, why their valuables were hidden as they left their community. I've had that happen to me.

I like that a more complex wooden thing

I love this show so cool

Anyone pop up to where the notch is visually? I would consider it!

What year is this? there must be loads of fascinating stuff over there, here in Argentina we don't have that but we do have a bunch of dinosaurs :))

Wow.

Series 11 Episode 3

At the end..."They're from the very beginning of the bronze age, about 2000 BC. Which means we've uncovered 2000 years of human activity..." Ummm...wouldn't that be four thousand years?

Very interesting. We need a "Time Team" here in the US. Maybe the History Channel could subsidize this.

Can anyone tell me, where I find the music from 5:01, 13:21, 54:57?

Im serious when I ask this, I'm not being facetious or sarcastic at all. I'm actually curious for historical reasons: How is it that the team here can tell just by the sites shape and location that a religious structure was placed there and not just the house of an either lucky or rich man of ancient times that lived near the man made island because of the scenery or just being of high status? Or maybe even a worker/group of workers and/or priests that lived or operated out of the area to build and eventually serve out of the area near by and then in the temple itself or whatever before it all flooded? Or is the small circle before you begin digging it up just obvious as to what it probably was just BECAUSE of the proximity to the now flooded temple? If anyone from the team that worked on the video or just in the comments is a trained teacher, historian, archeologist, paleontologist or whatever (please forgive my atrocious spelling, my phone's auto-correct didn't help here for some reason), please let me know what YOU know lol Edit: I'm about to start a year long trade school course on Massage Therapy, so I can begin to afford supporting myself without a disability check, because I'm physically fine for the most part and on medication for my other medical needs. Pretty much, I might be a little slower in the mind than I used to be, now that I'm almost 30, but I can do certain things I think at this point, as long as I take the extra time I know I need to learn something, I at least never forget almost anything once it "sticks" in my mind. Edit: Point being, I can handle massage therapy, but it's not what I want to do forever, just until I'm maybe 50 and feel like relaxing a little more on the job, physically, and letting my brain do the work, so I won't technically need to retire until I'm either feeble or dead, if I don't feel like it. But by 50 I want to have earned a doctorate in world history, music theory, theology, and "dead" ancient languages - specializing in the ancient Davidic Religions languages like ancient Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek/Latin and Old English for that and other literary reasons.

I can't believe these prehistoric people actually lived under water... Well you learn new things every day

Damn you Channel 4!

In thousands of years piles of stone will be found on my dad's farm. I do remember so well the annual stone picking in upstate New York

Phil reminds me of Darren from Graveyard Cars who does not work for me a couple days a week at my fillin station here in Springfield Ore.

This is really cool. What a find. I had to laugh though, when they presumed the post was wood. If the post was actually made of wood, it would be the most hardy wood in the universe. Unless the wood petrifies under water, wood rots pretty quickly --definitely, before thousands of years have passed.

I have only recently started watching Time Team. The seasons with Mick are by far and away the best imo. Some of the early ones I have watched now and I honestly don't know how the show made it past Tony-the-fool in those early days. What a schmuck he was. But the archeaology team smoothed his edges - in particular, Mick, I suspect. Mick brought a touch of magic along with his astute judgement. They were all awesome but I think Mick brought them together in a way that created magic that just is not there in the later shows. At some point later in the shows, they brought in another female archaelogists whose only purpose appears to have been to sit next to Tony and grin foolishly! What was that about? So many other great female archaeologists on the show - what did she add? Anyway, I am totally enjoying the shows from when Tony got some class, till Mick left. 12/10!!

Stewart is usually right.

Why is it only 3 days at each site? I'm Curious

Why every time; they have only three days ?

💚

When they talked about the horde find why did they talk to people like It was found in their yard when the woman say it was blasted out of a quarry up the hill about 2 miles away sorta misleading

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

43:00 Peatrified wood? lol

How do you spell cranog?

Erma geeeerd! Is that Baldrick?!

"this isn't going to turn out as someone's cat, is it" Me, who burried her dog with a monument of stones on top, "uuuuhhh"

He says they are stone cairns from the dumping of stone from the field so the locals could farm. Clearly, he missed the multiple large stone fences behind him that modern made makes when clearing a field for agricultural use. Its time to find another expert. also recall that the digging from inside the mini henge was completely bereft of stones of any size. Great show Baldrick!

This appears to me to be a large Sundial Time Piece considering the post in the middle aligned with the rising sun.

Everyone so smart

I guess working in the pouring rain all the time just wasn't enough water for them. So they go play in a loch.

Omg it's Bauldrick!
