The Buried Secrets Under A Pig Field | Time Team | Timeline 

It never ceases to amaze me that so much is still left so close to the ground surface we walk on every day

Phil seems to really love those chickens.....he is such a delightfully joyful fellow, especially when it comes to digging trenches! He is just so cute, & with that accent, he reminds me a bit of Eliza Doolittle's dad, from My Fair Lady! 🥰

R.I.P. Michael "Mick" Aston, we miss you!💖

Love the respect and care Sir Tony showed recovering that artifact.

Mick was a true treasure for Time Team! He surely is missed! How do I get a Time Team T-Shirt?? A fan from Vegas....

I love how we're shown the strategy of the digging. It shows a dimension of archaeology we wouldn't see if the 3 day limit weren't imposed.

36:00 - Phil: "...but my trench is full of Chickens. lol!" Chickens: "Ain't nobody here but us chickens, ain't nobody here at all..."

"Will they fall in? Do they like archaeology?" Love you Tony

Hope that farmer and his family are still doing well!

My goodness, Baldrick is such a brilliant presenter! ❤️

I knew those chickens would have to help. They always help.

Such beautiful countryside! I often try to imagine what it might've looked like when it was all forested, before humans reshaped the landscapes.

another great one, and with a great owner whose crops and topsoil you aren't spoiling! his pigs won't mind the help rooting about and his chickens are happy too! lovely I hope he finds more in the future and can set up a tourist spot with some little b&b spaces and paths near but not on top of the archeology. all too common the good stuff is underneath even better stuff that needs to be preserved as well. (catacombs etc)you can't rip out a church or a mosque to find what's under it... pig field is perfect, and good for him for letting them run around and root on their own. I'd recommend clover and fava or lima beans for breaking up the soil, fixing nitrogen, attracting insects and for fodder, but I don't know what fits in your climate. They're easy to plow in when time team gets back. Peas can work too. I hope to travel and see this place someday. I'll need a handy map you could put out of time team's previous digs and which ones might still be active for visiting. I still thirst for some "revisit" episodes of places people have continued. 3 days is ridiculous compared to thousands of years but I understand the studio and public are involved...

Just recently discovered Timeline. Thank you thank you thank you.. Y'all and "The Fall of Civilization's" content re Britain are really illuminating.History does come alive.

Swine Team!! (A group of hogs are called a team) The farmer's Porcine Archeologists deserve a big round of applause! They located AND cleaned the tesserae! "That's some pig!"

After dark, when the team has left for the night, the pigs and chickens come out and start planting "artifacts" in different parts of the fields.

This was absolutely the most interesting pig field ever.

Go Land Rovers "Chickens " ? Ha Ha helpers. Victors great art work will be missed.

So many huge fields, so few farmsteads-who is doing all the work? Hardly ever see a tractor or harvester or cows or sheep. Seems strange to me. Love the series!

It would be ignorant to presume that modern humans were the only ones on the same land. The land was used per generations and many chased off. I am impressed of the finds. Very informative of a highly used area for many different forms of living.

This one is fantastic I enjoy every dig then do I really like that Tony was allowed to dig the little pot out. I wonder what is inside of it.

I’m just amazed when I find arrow heads. Can’t think how old this stuff is.

My mom's dog didn't last a week after she passed. It would have been better if they were buried together. But I can't imagine the paperwork and the lawyers fees...

i would not mind having a bath house myself.

Of course chickens like archeology-- they're always pecking in the dirt! A bit more fond of the bugs they find, but suitability impressed with potsherds Also, did Tony comment that the chicken archeologists would have to cross the road to get at the next dig site?

Reminds me of a story from The Famous Five , where they go live on a farmhouse with an old history and treasures buried underneath.

Great program! Love watching Nerds have fun haha.

Thanks so much for posting.

How deep was the topsoil in these fields in Roman, bronze-age, neolithic times?

I truly wish that there was shows like this on TV today, but instead the "History" channel in the states is chocked full of aliens and other brain-numbing garbage.

This doesn't happen where I live lol. Must be so cool to be European and literally have no idea the history beneath your feet😍

Thank you

Love this show,well done 🤙🍻🇳🇿

I love this I am learning a lot thanks

What a cracking show!

thank you Tony !!!

Did Phil ever try selling duplicates of his hat?

Chickens are chill af

I love all the archeological terminology.....'dinky dimpled thing'. 😅

So cool

Baldrick sure did come a long way after learning advance mathematics.

Nice farm man.

I love to hear Tony, and Phil squabble.

YEAH! they actually found something!

Time Team 1994 to 2014 💖🤩

What's up with the guy at the beginning of these videos ? This is Tony's show !

I'm curious about the wall found in the chickens field.

Bronze age - Iron age - Roman! … my property (Connecticut, USA) was supposedly occupied in 1636 and all I've found is a couple pigs teeth and two pipe stems. … I had to buy the property of a 17th century neatnik!

I TOTALLY CALLED THE BATH HOUSE! 10 minutes before the Time Team called it!

Wish you would lengthen the dig time and then finish off and reveal

BRAVO !

The archeology is so freakin' rich in Briton!

Wow striking resemblance in the eyes they look related

How does one just come and help with the dig

Who knows, what that piece of music is at 37:36?

My trench is full of chickens!

Sun and blue skies in England?

'Baldrick' becomes GSO1, striding from a A'Romer returns.

Oh those chickens!

Erhmm... Three days? 1:29 Yep.

31:37 I thought there was a hair on my screen...

Poultry in motion!!

Just everything starts getting really interesting, your out of tima!

I can’t believe you don’t dig Tony

Tyquan vs raihan wish me luck

"What the F$%K"?! -Arnold Ziffel lll

Leave it open

I see a video about a pig farm and the first thing that comes to mind is Brick Top's pig farm.

When there are bones to be dug, Jackie usually shows up.

it almost seems that you can just dig anywhere in the UK, esp England, and find a historical relic or something! I know it isn't really like that, look at all the dead end trenches TT digs, but Really! Just pick a spot to dig!

Mike Parker Pearson before has became consumed by Stonehenge.

why are they only aloud 3 days? i never understood that

This thumbnail deserves a 'thumbnail oscar' 😂

37:31 ...... why is that not a step ....... keep digging

Ain’t nobody here but us chickens 🐓😁

I liked Dan Snow in the bomber better.

Was there any ballistics done ?..on the fallen stones..

Baldrick?

Was it really buried secrets ? Or was it just not known until they dug it up.

Romans must have had way more stuff than the previous and later civilization in Britain, they left a lot of artifacts behind.

I'm not an expert on pigs nor history, so after watching this video, I don't have anything to say, because as I said, I'm not an expert.

Baldrick!

I knew those chickens would love them diggi g a trench. Lets them get to the worms and bugs.

Thank you pigs

Damn that farmer is such a STUD!

I really want my dog to go when I do. A little chihuahua that will have very little to do with anyone else and only in my presence. She would be miserable. We have our own sign language and I'm the only one who cares about it. It's like getting your hubby back after a brain injury and expecting him to act and be the same. In this case you would be my Bubbles.

I was worried for a moment that we werent going to see Tony Robinson, who is so much better than the stiff self-important awkward presentaters we see so often.

👍👌😳😊

Hmmm interesting (jk i didn't watch it yet lol)

Like all these videos very much, who no hair trims ever?...

Really

Get it Tony!

Why 3 days? What is forcing your 3-day limit?

@ 3015 into the video when Tony Tony says something like “it was from this burial yesterday that I skillfully excavated this complete new (something something) beaker…” He attempted to rush and tried banging the 1700 years lodged dry as the bones it was next to dirt from the top potentially shattering it and then the hippy shook it and seriously thought there was something inside the dirt filled and dirt encrusted beaker that had been buried in dirt for 1700 years and never did it cross his mind that it was just dirt in the beaker, and said dirt washer stuck between the bottom and the dirt lodged in the top lmao.

Archeologists even seem to need shovels for fingernails...

💕👍

I've seen birds swoop down on the furrow as soon as the plow has passed by, so I'm not surprised the chickens go for the trench. Digging churns up worms and insect larvae, so they're coming for a snack.

If you want to skip the lens-grabbing nobody and get straight to the actual program, skip to 2:11.

As always on top 🔥 Are there sports fans here?)))

Royalty’s?..
