I love watching TT, not just for the subject matter, but how these guys get on better than some families - teasing each other and laughing. I hope they really feel the level of affection that I experience while watching it.
The stupidest thing I've read in Comments on RU-vid for ages You are surprised that friends and colleagues get on better than families?? Have you never had any friends?
Really good episode showing the level of expertise required to piece together a medieval “shipyard” that showed the real nature of medieval shipbuilding.
It's pretty crazy, looking at the lay of the land, you would never think it ever have been a massive channel big enough to build and launch 150ft long ships out of
On bbc “Digging for Britain “ on 10 January 2004 there was a piece about King Henry v shipbuilding in Smallhide and they said that it had never been examined, the archaeologist said this , very very shoddy research.makes time team stand out as groundbreaking
Why Tony has looked like hes 60 for like all of his years is the biggest mystery of all in my opinion. I can't ever tell how old he is in any time team episode straight from the start lol. Anyone else feel like I do?
Think of them more like forward scouts. They come in and get as good a picture as they can, and that information can be used by folks that are there for the sites more permanently. All this work costs them, and a lot of the crew had/have their own careers as well. It helped drum up interest so a lot of sites can get more recognition they need.
Every time I see Robin Bush, My first thought is Herman Goring. Then when he speaks, I think Winston Churchill. Like a perfect mixture of the two. Anyone else?
I live in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. There is nothing of this age anywhere near where I am. Even if there had been native, it has long since disappeared under the back water of the dams along the Columbia river. The Dalles damn is near me, but way down slop.
I live in Brisbane, Australia. So its the same deal with nothing of any age. I did some termite control on a house reputed to be the first house built in the Beenleigh area in 1845,,, ish. Hence the reason i built a sign in my front yard which reads ""On the st of December 1710, on this site, nothing happened".
@@noelthorley3248 Yeah I know the feeling, Hamilton NZ here. So the town was founded in the 1860s here. there isn't alot of "history" you find here, there is the occasional Pa earthwork near the river (they mainly date to post european contact, time of the musket wars, so the 1820s onwards). Its crazy how much history is in Europe, and seems like you couldn't throw a rock in England without hitting something historical. When was brizzy founded anyway? (dont know much about my aussie history really).
The climate doesn’t support preservation of organic material, which is what northwest tribes built with. There are a few spots like Ozette, but since the native tribes built with wood, and white settlers did nothing to preserve their culture beyond displaying woven baskets as status symbols, there’s not much to see. And of course up until WWI Washington was basically a logging community & occasional gold rush pit stop. Most of the material culture is from the 20th century. I remember my first time in Edinburg, where it seemed to switch between ancient & modern every other building. I thought about kids throughout the world who would be taken on school field trips to a genuine medieval village or something like Stonehenge or the great Zimbabwe tower. In Seattle, we had to leave the country to visit a RECONSTRUCTION of a 18th century fur trading camp. They actually took us by bus into Canada. And it still wasn’t the real thing. I became an archaeologist because of all the places I wanted to see & cultures I wanted to better understand. Ethnography has become more important to me. Listening to the indigenous stories passed down for centuries by oral tradition. It’s beautiful, but I admit I wish we had places to visit. Physical, material culture to connect with.
@@gypsydonovan My grandfather on mom's side, was a logger taking the first load of timber to the site of the Grand Coulee dam. My father was a lumberjack as well...
F off. Time Team got people excited and interested in archaeology, which is not easy. Student enrollment in archaeology programs increased as a direct result of the series.
What I can think of: closer proximity to woodmills and less exposure to weather and tidal effects. The use of drydocks was not common at the time, in fact as Tony mentions, they were built on slipways. Also, to a lesser extent, I don't think you'd want to expose your shipyards to enemy coastal raids.
This makes no sense. It's claimed the ships were built after the year 1400, but Small Hythe hasn't been a port town since the Great Storm in 1287, at the latest.
@@randybobandy9828 @randybobandy9828 I know, bobandy. My point was there were RECORDS indicating what they were claiming was true, and he was saying that their assertion couldn't be true. But if there are records...
