The Neolithic Mystery Beneath An Ordinary English Field | Time Team 

no

@@larryzigler6812 who are you?

As much as I agree, the problem is that would make for very bad television. Yes, they could do the groundwork, film everything, and edit into a fascinating TV special. But Time Team came out every week and was based on the suggestion by Mick Aston that you could learn almost everything you need to know about a site in only three days. This was based on his vast field experience and he meant that even on sites where he did spend months digging, they didn't learn anything new in the last 80% than they already figured out in the first 20%. I have seen many Time Team episodes where even Mick said he would love to spend more time, but by the end of the three day time limit they had already learned what they wanted to know. I find this format very exciting, especially when they go into a site with one set of expectations and the evidence turns that completely around. But I DO agree that I, for one, would love to see a TV show where they do spend more time on one site. I am almost always filled with more questions at the end of the show!

I agree

@@thatwiseoldbitchchannel Thanks for your support .

And under Stewart! 🥰

He’d probably love that! 😋

😂

yes

And she was right

nothing is more fantastic than what we learn to be true.

Maybe she knew better ;)

"Really, Baldrick? A carpark? That was your clever plan?"

That's the beauty of English language and culture for you ❤️

If you want another wild ride, watch Baldrick tell children's stories in Fat Tulip's Garden.

The amazing powers you get by ingesting turnips. Imagine Baldrick as Superhero called Cunning Plan!

And drinking cloudy apple juice that's been around a while then lying on your back watching the sky is Imax. And don't forget the little pointy mushrooms instead of popcorn.

All the people have regular jobs and coy do this on weekends. Also, there are sites everywhere in thUK and it is enough at times to identify a site that someone else can take. Further.

Please don't ever mention that again !!!!

On occasion, they spend more time. It is 2 shows worth, so about a week?

I agree although there are so many TT groupies who insist that actors are the same as authorities, preferring contrived drama and the thrill of treasure hunting to the reality of the stooped tedium and the mundane finds that make up the bulk of archaeological digs .

Francis Pryor - the thinking person's drinking game. Take a drink every time he says "ritual", "ceremonial", "worship" or "ancestors".

yes 1! he deemed that one, a site of significant ritual ceremonial worship activities

Not just a gathering site, more a market place, perhaps?

Somewhere between hunter gatherer and full agriculture?

I give a hearty second! It’s part of the degradation of our culture and morals.

Well, there is always the RU-vid....

I agree. Dropped my subscription two years ago. Degradation is an understatement.

I watch on you tube.

I dont understand the referencing to Netflix? this is YT?🤷‍♀️

Just keep tapping that blue time stamp 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣

While we'd enjoy it, they'd lose most of their audience, because most viewers have to be constantly stimulated, or they lose interest. Frankly, I'm amazed they managed an hour's show.

Digging out the boat would have been possible, but the cost of preservation (time, facilities, and money) was presumably not available.

@@philipr1567 Its easy to preserve timber. just soak it with leen seed oil.

​@@domenicozagari2443 Wood that has been buried or submerged for over 1500 years can't just be treated with linseed oil, it needs to be soaked to remove bacteria and pollutants, then dried very slowly to prevent damage, then soaked in a preserving solution. This is not a quick and simple process.

Sometimes the best way to preserve an important artefact is to leave it exactly where it is.

My best guess is that filming slows/disrupts actual dig sites too much, so they get a limited amount of time to film this show and then the team who's actually in charge of the site takes over.

Thanks Einstein

@@larryzigler6812 Another stupid comment, what's the problem now?

@@larryzigler6812 You're welcome.

@@josephhewes3923 Brontosaurs burger is my favorite !!!!

@@larryzigler6812 It has been my experience in the past, when experts haven't figured it out, I am forced to figure it out myself. You can thank me later when they confirm my hypothesis.

As shown in many episodes, he sits somewhere nearby, paper and pencil in hand, and... draws. They educate him on the details of how things looked when unclear, and he fills in the rest.

@@kuzzbillington6392 What a great gig!

Victor Ambrus was very talented, but the people probably didn't look like that at all. He was filling in gaps with familiar ideas.

There is one on You Tube somewhere. Look him up.

Neolithic sites wouldn't produce much if any metal, plus theyr'e only interested in this time period, so it would be a waste of their precious time.

They all have regular jobs as archaeologist and professors, etc. They only have weekends to do this. Identifying sites to be perhaps studied by others in the future or the ones which need to be on a protected After all, the UK has funds everywhere you go.

@@amazinggrace5692 How many times have we got to explain this. Along with the 'why no gloves' crap. Why do they watch if they are clueless? Some of the comments border on idiocy. When you look at the profiles you find they are kids, with No other interests in anything, but Frisbees, Cosplay and Marvel .yet suddenly they can challenge Experts who have spent years of study and dedication because Picachoo told them!
