Rooting For The Romans | FULL EPISODE | Time Team 

I don't know who I am, I don’t know why I'm here, All I know is that I must watch every Time Team episode ever made.

I love watching Tony and Phil take the mickey out of each other. . They clearly have a dear friendship and enjoy riling each other up. It also shows that they don't hesitate to call each other out on their BS when needed.... Or not needed as the case may be! 😁😂

I really miss Time Team, never missed an episode growing up, it instilled such a passion for history and archeology in me. Thank you so much for uploading these to RU-vid. :)

I do not know why... but it is so therapeutical and good to watch Time Team... Thank you! And I do not understand why 44 people did not like it?! What is here not to like, and love? ... or at least respect all the work?

Loving the hi res uploads

That piece of painted plaster at 39:52 gave me goosebumps. To think, someone crafted that 2000 years ago, and has survived so well. I can understand the desire to seek out and discover these sites.

Phil's birthday is this Saturday, the 25th of January, 1950 to 2020... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PHIL!!! From a California USA fan. Who loves to dig for rocks...

Another great episode. Nice to see Helen Geake again. She's so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. And always has a lovely haircut. LL 🙋🏻‍♀️🇨🇦

I Avidly watched Time Team back in the day, along with my Children. Now I am consuming it again. I find it is soothing as well as interesting. I often put an episode on to fall to sleep to. It’s the scraping of the trowels!

Let’s hope micks family, Phil and the gang are finally getting paid with these videos

Time team, I dig this show.👍

I totally get that this show is supposed to be only about the archaeology but I would watch an hour of Tony and Phil arguing too. 😁

That thing they found 13:20 is a finger pick for the lyre.

I love the chemistry between everyone... 😊

I love when Tony and Phil "argue," they're like an old married couple.

Phil and Mick giggling over the wall at 2:28 is too precious for words.

If someone blindfolded me and skipped this video back to any point without my knowledge I would know how far though it was just by looking at how wet Phils hat is 😂😂😂

Ian the equipment operator is probably the smartest one. He's always so quiet and my parents always used to say "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." I would like to know more about what Ian thinks about all these sites.

I love this show! I only discovered it last year. 🇺🇸

Time team is the only thing stopping me from going completely stir crazy through this lockdown. Truely- I already shaved my head 😭

I absolutely love this channel. I also love the comradeship between everyone, makes me wish it were like that everywhere lol.

I don't know why but seeing Mick and Tony driving through the woods felt like a scene from Jurassic Park 💁🏻‍♀️.

I wonder about the bathhouse because it seems such an extravagance for one person or a small group who visited the site daily but went to their more affluent homes at the end of the working day, surely they would have more local bathhouses. Could it be that the Romans afforded their slaves bathhouses, one in this case? The concept of slavery has changed over time, but generally one would normally want healthy, and so productive, slaves and if the Romans recognised the importance of hygiene maybe they wanted clean, less smelly, slaves too.

I would like to know if anyone ever goes back and continues the digs. Are there updates? I like the show, but having only 3 days? How important are these sites if they just walk away with unanswered questions?

I love this show thank you for uploading it!

alright! metal working, furnaces, fancy villas, roads, statues (or not), central heating, bath houses, but what have the Romans ever done for us??!!

I found this channel about a week ago, and must admit that I'm hooked. In today's world, it's easy to forget that you can literally build or make ANYTHING with enough time. It's easy to forget that you don't need a kiln to make some pottery, and you don't need super special tools to hew some stone - they started with nothing & built our current world. What I like most about this channel is it reminds me that I can do anything; all it takes is time. 😍😍

Another. .. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PHIL! 🎂🧁🍭🍻🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺ETC....1/25/50

Finally a unploughed Roman villa! Would of been nice to see more trenches dug by Phil!

6:02 look at Phil's fists when Tony is pestering him...

This was a phenomenal episode and I’m so relieved to see a site not degraded by plowing for once! Really illustrates the richness and diversity of historic sites in England as well as how easy they are to excavate, study, and protect if necessary. There’s no excuse why sites like this aren’t being evaluated and assessed at least to the level that time team does, so ensure the artifacts aren’t lost to nature or looters, forever… or developed on top of. I’d love to have an apartment block with Roman ruins in the park nearby. Rome and cities around Italy have demonstrated how to strike a balance like this, with modern ppl living next to sites large and small as well as a stray fountain or mausoleum etc. and there’s no reason why developers can’t incorporate archaeology into their planned communities/complexes instead of putting archaeologists on a short timeline to discover and record sites before being built right on top of (if they even report finds while carrying out construction). There’s a million ways to incorporate protected areas into architectural designs and modern life, and I love going to hotels and restaurants around Europe that are built around old stone walls and columns or that feature plexiglass floors that show historical features below ground level. And a hidden courtyard with stone monoliths must be desirable to anyone w/ taste…Office buildings and banks and the like can do something similar to what I’ve described so there’s really no excuse. It also makes for added tourist attraction to the area and increased desire for locals bc everyone appreciates a nice park, as they’d have to appreciate one with Roman and Iron Age and medieval ruins scattered about even more- right?! I know I’m preaching to the choir, I just hate seeing ppl comment that there can’t be development AND protection of most of the historic locations/archaeological sites of importance around GB.

This is awesome. This is the kind of stuff History channel should show

Outstanding, I love this program.

Episode 237 (Season 17, Episode 13) Rooting for the Romans, Aired: April 17, 2011

I notice that Tony just about every single episode says lumps and bumps lol

Keep the high quality uploads coming

What they find around 29:05. That weird stone. Could that be some kind of counter weight? seems like a very convenient hole to tie a rope to.

Love Time Team, you guys rock! Keep digging those trenches!

0:54 can’t wait for Stewart to find what everyone wants without even breaking ground on a trench

Always look forward to another time team episode.

36:57 Looking at that image something cached my eye. Look at the right side of the courtyard right next to the green area.There are 3 parallel lines curving along side the site, I reckon this could easily be a ditch with a main road next to that. It even seems to have some form of wooden bridge near the top of the image over the ditch with raised edges for both the ditch as the road. To the north there seems to be another raised part which seems to look like it's holding a thin wall of some kind. I think I see another bridge looking thing near Matt's trench that connects that building and the road together. Now another building may be near the edge where the north 'wall' and the ditch are meeting. On the inside you see a square looking thing that could easily be some form of structure. Look just right of it and you can see another square looking thing that could be another building. I think it might be possible that this could translate to some form of tower with guard house. It may be a good idea for the local team to check that out. If this happens to be indeed the case, then this may solve the puzzle a lot more.

Time Team is a super show. from USA, Illinois !

This show is the best Quarantine medicine.

@13:15 This artifact is likely a musicians plectrum or finger pick for a lyre or harp. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Amaziing. I love Time Team 💪👍👍Greetings from Germany😎✌

34:31 is how my mum shows my equally tech-blind aunt and grandma how to use my laptop to listen to youtube music.

Tut tut, Tony! At 25:30 he said that the mortarium would have been used "for grinding food, like corn or maize". The Romans weren't grinding maize. That's a New World crop. When "corn" is used in the Old World, it refers to grains such as wheat, barley, and rye.

from USA, I still enjoy time team :)

The closing of this was beautiful. Nature will always win.

from the usa dig you guys

A really fun episode. Much more fun to watch others do the back-breaking work too.

How to describe antiquarian archaeologist Edmund Artis?..."Everything but a poet".. He was quite an energetic man. www.castorchurchtrust.co.uk/history-2/edmund-tyrell-artis/

A JCB BACKHOE and a top surgeon met and had a baby and they named him Phil. HA HA HA.

That bath house was most likely for the iron workers, not some overseer. The romans built baths to keep the people happy.

Ohhh arrrr Tony lidar! Whatever next.. John's going to be out of a job... Stone the crows!

I think Phil has the same clothes on.....

I love watching these again and again. At just 11 minutes in I've had 6 ad interruptions. Three of these were mandatory watch. This is an excessive number of ads. For some reason episodes posted by Timeline and others channels with properly licensed content have just two or three ads per episode. It should be noted a few channels, namely Reijer Zaaijer with 90 million views - Time Team episodes and other UK programming, do not have a license for any of their Time team or other UK content. Do not watch any of their content. Doing so amounts to piracy/theft. Reijer needs to be shut down. 90 million views is a lot of lost revenue. Just finished this great episode. 16 ad interruptions in total. Google is getting very greedy indeed. Cheers!

John is incredibly patient-just like the forest waiting for the Romans to clear out

13:11 looks just like a finger pick as used on some stringed instruments

The superintendent's estate over the Iron production, CALLED IT!

Can someone please help me place Phil’s accent?

Not in my backyard 😕 Because, houseboat 😂

They did a dig at Castor in the series after this one

Victor (the artist) was such a great asset to the show. Giving people a way to visualise history does so much to "bring it home" so to speak.

i love Time Team enough to hope i'm excused for being pedantic and pointing out that there's no way that anyone in Roman Britain was grinding up any maize for their bread! 25:30

They later dug Castor as well following Artis book again.

That looked like early Roman fence wire to me. LOL.

Hello People, I am new to your videos and have subscribed. Your videos are so interesting to watch ! The back breaking work of the field archeologists is a true love to the profession ! I wanted to ask you what do you do with all the countless artifacts that you excavate ? Are they sentenced to a life of solitary confinement , never to see the light of day again or do you sell any of your artifacts ? Please keep up your great videos !

Wait! WTF! I’ve just discovered this very cool series and was then shocked to learn they go out and positively identify a Roman villa...and then spend only two or three days investigating them (and then leave)?!?! - Why don’t the shows producers get government approval and go nuts on these sites for a year with a few million dollars and a staff of 100 Archeology students from UK and European Universities and do this properly? Let’s see the whole thing and map it out and take reams of pictures (and then if you want to rebuy it, go ahead).

00:16 ...by firing lasers between the trees... - gets distant look in the eyes: *Endor...*

I've been a rabid TT fan these past couple of years, and now I've seen them all enough that the tightly scripted bits just jump down my throat. When Tony asks Helen who the antiquarian was, because, of course, he suddenly got curious, Helen just happens to be on her mark, ready to whip out the photo of Edmund Artis.

I love archeology and I absolutely hate midges

They always seem to dig where the digital map shows the least activity

for the chronoloigical purist, this is actually season 18, episode 11 and not season 17, episode 13, season 17 only had 12 episodes..

I miss this show !

Thank you.

Time Team: so here is the Roman colonization..... Scotland: Yeah. we don't have those here

25:29 ... BIG mistake, Tony !! Maïs (corn) did not exist in Europe until Columbus brought back some seeds in 1492......... Therefor, the Romans could not possibly have known maïs (maize or corn) !!! They did have common wheat, durum wheat, emmer, spelt and millet.

I would like to see the New Time Team go back to this site!!! They never really found out where was the smelter? Where was the iron furnace? A place that is this big, should have something larger to smelt the Iron out. I believe that there is also a large villa on this site also. There is so much on this site to find, and I don't think Time Team, this last time that they really to me did not solve what was really happening here. There is so many questions unanswered. When they finished their 3 days, I said to myself, no, you need another 3 days!!! So please send the New Time Team back into this site!

The enigma is the host has SEVERAL winter jackets on while others are in short sleeves so is it cold or not there at the time of filming

I love these people.

Thank you so much for making these available on RU-vid. Others have uploaded it, but the quality of the videos is often comprised by their equipment. I only discovered the series a couple of years ago here in the states, but don't feel cheated as the archeology still is the same. I wish the US took as deep of an interest in our archeological sites as Britan does.

Cool, I just printed a relief of the Alpes on a Prusa Mini 3D printer. That technique might be interesting to use in the crowdfunded new series.

Ok good program. Bit why and what happened to the buildings ?

Well not finished but continued exploring his find.

Even I can tell that was Roman barbed wire left by Roman cowboys. LOL.

#timeteaminthe2020s

John Gater is the Baldrick of Time Team, he always has a cunning plan, that turns out to be barbed wire or some other nonsense.

Phil and Matt seems to have the same bracelet. Anyone knows what that's about? Just curious, is it a archaeologist thing or a time team thing?

Spiders and MIDGES??? What is a midge?

UK, So many regulations.. Principles and things to keep in mind. Greetings from Denmark

Best archaeology program .

7:17 - Even Archeology takes time for Tea LOL!

That really tall man reminds me of an older Frank Spencer

When Phil scraped his trowel along Faye's trench Time Team discovered it was oozing slag.

Is this a reupload? I swear I watched this yesterday

From what I have seen on this show it seems like there are more roman ruins than trees in the UK.

21:40 Butcher's apostrophe :P

right pause video ..... I think I only watch this for the friendly banter ie 6:20 +.... all work and no play etc

This reminds me of the forest scenes in Ever After
