FULL LENGTH | TIME TEAM Roman Sarcophagus (Broughton, Oxfordshire) EXPEDITION CREW 

The pause before she spoke said it all

You must understand that for a farmer, his farming equipment is way more important than some stone coffin. And I agree, they had to get rid of it, otherwise it could have damaged a plow or a tiller. There are no place for big stones in a field. Period. At the end of the day, you don't eat archaeology, you eat bread.

​@@marinoceccotti9155no sir that farmer needs to think about his community his heritage and his responsibilities to both. Simply excusing it because he's a farmer is garbage talk.

not nessarly true , I've seen areas of fields etc. expropriated to ensure preservation.. @@marinoceccotti9155

@@joshschneider9766 I’m not sure that is what happened, but it would be good to enlarge your horizons to see the beauty of this rare window into the past🙃🙃❤

Awwww man, now I have to update my playlist 😆

Thank you! Watching the premiere with some of the team was a lot of fun!

Thank you team!😊

It repeats the first episode after about 10 minutes.

Looking at his Bio Robin loved a glass of Islay.. I have a rather rare Islay release in my collection. Feels like a single is in order.

Is that the thin guy with the glasses on or the older gentleman??

We miss them all and appreciate their indivual contributions.

Yes I agree and thats the undying legacy of time team, we as lookers on are constantly frustrated as nothing is finalises, but that the nature o the game. .

Exactly how archeologists feel, it's a fun and frustrating profession.

You have a good point however TT alumnus Guy de la Bedoyere makes a good counterpoint in a recent uTube video that all to often artifacts sent to museums end up languishing in storage rooms (soonest or later) never again to be enjoyed by the public and no longer associated with their historical context.

I would lift it out dig deeper and cover it with a pre cast concrete slab.

She needs to be re intered right where she was originally laid to rest. There on the farm she loved.

@@stephanieyee9784 first off you don't know that. There's zero evidence that she enjoyed being there. Secondly that won't stay a farm forever.

I was mistaken attributing the museum storage (out of sight, out of mind) issue to Guy DLB. This issue was brought out by Ian McCollom on his Forgotten Weapons uTube channel. The argument remains valid for leaving the remains in place.

I am old enough to have visited excavation sites (and taken part in one excavation) in the early 1960s. County Councils tended not to have archaeological sections then and there were fewer permanent archaeological units, but there was widespread recognition of the importance of archaeology and the destruction of the lid and (presumably) continued exposure of the site to ploughing was discreditable even in that era.

How do you put up a memorial for someone you don't remember?

@@juliajs1752 I suppose the same way people have put ones up for "Unknown" Soldiers and similar situations

She’s a wonderful storyteller and knows more than most!

Yes, she is!

The team members are all employed in different areas by different businesses or government departments. They have limited time away from their daily jobs to work on these special projects. Help is usually requested by a team member to explore an area of interest or by the authority responsible for documenting and protecting recent/past discoveries. I believe these 3 days projects are run like a field school for students who have been studying archaeology (and interested volunteers). As part of most archaeological training programs/ university courses there is a requirement for the students to get a number of hours of practical experience before they graduate. The digs are usually done on a weekend or in the university holidays to fit in with the term time lessons. If you look up the names of the staff you will often find they are professors or teaching staff. It was the same as the old crew of time team. For example Mick was a professor who would have the students he taught help out on digs. I'm pretty sure Helen, Phil and Alice were also teachers/professors. On top of that the cost of actually completing a dig increases the longer you take. Think of the logistics of accommodation, food, facilities like tents and toilets, digger machinery, technology, etc. Often these digs are made possible through small amounts of funding/grants and there is limits on how much money is available. By limiting the time spent on each dig time team can do these digs more often and be more specific about the questions each dig can answer. Time may also be limited by access to the area given by a landowner. Most new sites are in paddocks used for growing crops or discovered as a result of the land use changing and being developed into housing/industrial estates. Landowners and developers are often more willing to cooperate and give complete access if the time and scope of the dig are limited. I was wondering if this dig was limited to two days because of the hot weather that was predicted (heat waves) and affected the dig when it was going on. There may have also been restrictions on what machinery could be used due to fire risk from the crop being ready to harvest and the hot temperatures. Here where I live (south eastern Australia) on days of increased fire danger there are limits on what machinery/equipment can be used (one spark is all it takes to start a fire that might take days to get under control or put out). We have had bushfires (wildfire, brush fire, grass fire, etc) sparked by people who were trying to create fire protection lines around their property with a bulldozer and tractor. Blessings, Dot Some of the diggers were very sunburnt by the end of day one. It could be dangerous to work in the heat for more than a couple of days in a row. Heat exposure, heat stroke, dehydration, severe sunburn and overheating can cause someone to be hospitalised or if not treated soon enough they would die.

That was the selling point of the original TT. The team would spend Friday morning to Sunday night at each site.

Rather unprofessional. Apparently no photos, either.

@@alayneperrott9693 Makes me wonder if the skull was ever re-interred, at all, or if it sits, gathering dust, on some '60s antiquarian's desk. ='[.]'=

@@Raycheetah Good point. Makes me wonder if Time Team have discovered a can of worms and are trying to be polite.. "Oxford" may mean the commercial rescue archaeologists not the Uni.

Depends on the size of the truck. A heavy duty one can easily be 4 tonnes

@@amandachapman4708 I believe he said average. Also in UK, where this show is based, that would class as a C1 goods vehicle and not always drivable on a standard car licence (less than 3.5 tonnes).

It's a colloquialism...... EVERYONE calls the machine a JCB ... Everyone........!! I've literally never heard the word 'doosan'...but I sure know what a JCB is.......!!!

@@andymccabe6712 I know, but its like calling all cars a BMW. Ohh and another thing: Its "hidden" advertising.

Dwarfism isn’t a modern thing? That is also most certainly not a child lol.

I know, this new version is basically unwatchable. They vastly underestimated how much of Tony et al's enthusiasm played into the appeal of the series. Archaeology can be boring, so the old version went above and beyond with music, dramatic storylines and transitions (sometimes strained lol), and everyone poked fun at and teased each other to make it inviting if not a little dorky. But man, this new version is way too austere and I can't imagine PC culture allowing any teasing anymore. Too bad.

This is actually a repost of the dig. When first posted it was posted as two separate videos one after another. If you read the comment made by the channel it states that this video is combining the two previous videos into one continuous video to make it easier to watch (viewer requested).

Apparently alot of viewers were disappointed after the initial dig by time team as it didn't answer the questions that the time team were asked to solve. Time team had alot of requests for them to return to complete the original focus of the work. Im also assuming whoever is the authority in charge of protecting/preserving the site needed the answers that only further digging and analysis could provide. They are balancing doing their work while also educating and entertaining the viewing public. I guess it's a case of time team can't please everyone. We all want different things; new digs versus more in depth analysis of a site, longer digs to completely excavate a site or only showing us the exciting bits, some want to know the full process from planning a dig all the way through to the published report and some just want to see the finds in the context of where they were found. If any grants or funding was received or permission to dig/ access to the site for a specific purpose or with requirements then time team is obligated to meet them. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot

OR...you all could stop whining on about the presenter.....and concentrate on the archaeology!?!? There's a radical idea for you.......

I love the old ones, but I also like the new ones. And I'm glad that they're still making them. The alternative would be no more time team!

Try not to compare the two, they are very different beasts, the original Time Team was funded by a television network. The very first Time Team wasn't even allowed to break the ground, they just field walked the characters that we all grew to know and love didn't just happen overnight it took years for them to become almost household names.

Give the team time , or just keep rewatching old episodes 😢

Er, no, it wasn't..'bob'....it was different .... ...the work is the same..which is all that matters! If you want Tony's schtick...watch the repeats......!!

corn noun UK (the seeds of) plants, such as wheat, maize, oats, and barley, that can be used to produce flour.

i would have been 23 at the time. I'm 73 now. This man could have been in his 80s or older.

I was so grateful they didn’t have the horrible and intrusive music.

The lack of "music" is the reason I was able to watch the video. For me, noice like that is both too horrible to endure and too intrusive to be able to watch the video at all. Too many video´s that have been uploaded to youtube, have all too noisy background noise for me to be able to listen to the video at all... and most of those video´s are not enjoyable to watch without sound.
