The Buried Wonders Of Iron Age Britain | Time Team | Odyssey 

I agree - I love these episodes. I'm an Anglophile born and raised in California and I marvel at the history and what they uncover in these digs. I hope someday I have the chance to visit England but until then it's the Time Team! lol

Every Sunday I used to go up to my best friend's house (RIP my dearest) and we'd watch Time Team together. These uploads are my comfort viewing now, too. Stick one on in the background and the housework virtually does itself.

I will likely never go to Britian, only found these during the pandemic, but they are a comfort to me, too.

Have faith in the blood of Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Nothing we do in the flesh will ever surmount what Christ did on the cross for us all. The KJV bible is the best translation... I love these videos too haha

Why do you feel the overwhelming need to interject your Jesus and religion into a conversation?@@21EpicFail Give it a rest, believe as you wish but, don't push it on others, it's such an abrasive behavior.

what a great idea.

Dowsing is not only an ancient art but an easily acquired skill if your mind is open. As a former teacher from Vermont I still find it amazing how some people prefer to stick their heads in the sand

@@caroleminke6116Well, as a skeptic who has seen several double blind tests and observed dowsers in action, I always find it amazing, how many people keep their head up their behind and don't realize it's utter bunk. Of course, if they do make money from it, they do have a vested interest.

They are all so quirky and loveable in their own way. They all seem to be such lovely people and would be so interesting to talk to any and all for hours.

Thank you for the clarification

What you call "maize" in the UK, we use as a term for a winding series of tortuous passages. Isn't English wacky place to place?

@@Synathidy joking? That's 'maze.'

@@Synathidy No, that's "maze", not "maize". The word "maize" comes from a Native American word. Most European countries use a derivation that. Look it up.

@@ColinMcCormack Hopefully we can civilise them in time :P

lol, and from my 30s. I must have missed the "ugly sweaters", I grew up in the 80s, these look like standard ones to me.

What sweaters have to do with anything I'll never know

@@James-kv6kb Mick Aston and Robin Bush are prime sweater examples !

Me too.

Then you just don't get it. Carry on.

Tony Robinson was the presenter. The soul of Time Team was Mick Aston, without him the show never would had lasted 20 years. Before this season he had left and it is no surprise, that the first year without him turned out to be the shows last.

@@crownhouse2466 thanks for that gem. I like TR as a presenter, whatever he does. He certainly never claims to be an expert yet his manner is endearing. Cheers.

@@justinludeman8424 - And he should not claim archeological expertise. I found him to be in over his head on "Time Team" and an annoyance. Some of us watched the show IN SPITE of Robinson, not because of him. In the documentaries where he flew solo and stuck to the script, he was much better. I especially enjoyed the documentary where he helped to debunk the so-called "holy grail".

@@MossyMozart - fair enough, although I suspect he is a more adept presenter than the real archeologists might have been, indeed, I find it hard to imagine the show without him to oversee its narration and presentation. I concur regarding the Holy Grail debunk and Da Vinci Code noise, that was excellent viewing. He has a rather sly and dry wit too.

Not to me he does this a twit

Me too!!!

I totally agree

Sir Baldrick in the middle episode. I as QE2 knighted him saying " I dub thee Sir Baldrick !"

It most certainly is.I said this very thing when I first discovered this gem. I loved Borrick more then Black Adder.

But sometimes they return.

Don't forget, during the week many of them have other jobs. Mick is a professor at Bristol University, Robin is the archivist for Somerset, Phil works for Wessex Archaeology, Carenza works for British Heritage.

Wait, sea level RISE means island was lower relative to sea level, meaning sea was closer. Ramparts would have been sea storm protection along with other advantages, I would have thought?

Or an outlaw bicycle gang!

It was shortly after Ochta joined that Mick left the show.

Thankyou I agree music is irrelevant.

hat would be incredible!!❤

They do, sometimes! Also, I think one of the new episodes they just finished working on is actually revisiting an old site from an episode years ago -- the Anglo-Saxon graveyard, I think?

They have done several new digs. I believe that they crowd funded the new episodes on Time Team Official. Though for the new digs they had a new presenter. Though Tony and some of the old crew have done a few 'recollections' vidsnfor the chennel. Im always amazed that more people arent aware of it, considering how popular it is. Also check out Time Team Classics....just search those two titles inbthe youtube search bar and hey presto....

It does

Right? We’re totally missing out in the history department here. This kind of show would have been amazing to watch growing up.

Time Team America: “oh look! We’ve uncovered a wiffle ball circa 1960”

Nor Canada. Altho' I think there was so much more to find all squeezed up in that tiny island that there wouldn't be much to find here. Except flints, much to Phil's delight. 😁

It sucks too because not only is the US an amazing place for paleontology, there used to be an amazing variety of native people whose lives and heritage have been completely disrupted and destroyed. I wish there was a way we could work with existing tribes to trace back their heritage and treat their archaeological sights with the respect that they deserve. Although it is important to mention that there are a number of native peoples who have these sights and (understandably) absolutely do not want outsiders messing with them. So it's better to do it with the full permission from the people you're researching

​@@ainerobertson78 Very well said.

Take a number and get in line . It's a pretty long line but Phil is worth it.

Yeah, it's a common theme in modern TV doco's to "add tension". It's a Doco, not a Transformers film !😩

Totally agree

Those responsible should be sacked.

It’s distracting and totally unnecessary. Very bad idea!

It seems fine to me can hear the speakers

A rampart may do all those things, but a rampart is strictly a military device. If it were built to do something else it would not be a rampart.

I heard an episode last week to much music.All music is tp much.

We sent my dad, the "ice cream bandit" to eternity with a pewter ice cream scoop. Love to know what guys like these would make if that in the next few thousand years?

many think that hillforts weren't constantly occupied, just used in times of war. On a daily basis there was probably no one up there

Rain is a near daily occurrence in the UK. A nice little cistern to store it and Bob’s your uncle!

Children are sent to fetch water. The hope is that enemy will not kill the children. But also children are kind of expendable in their eyes back then. So many died anyway and they can make another…

@@beastshawnee Highly unlikely Hypothesis...

Maybe she was hoping he would keep his mouth shut and not say anything else snarky about the dowser.

Were you watching the same Graham Hancock show I watched? Because I found it to be quite true, and entertaining as well as enlightening! Quite different than what you might hear from academia in general, & for the most part - "true." I've no axe to grind with academia in general, I just find what he had to say very interesting.

@@vincentrandles8105 I mean from everything I've seen of Hancock his archeological theories are... extremely questionable. He ignores evidence, cherry picks and misinterprets data he does use and manipulates what other people has said. I have watched the same show and honestly I found nothing enlightening in there. It's nothing but pseudoscience, dishonesty and honestly has some very concerning undertones.

For clear perspective on the misteachings of Hancock, look at RU-vid channel World of Antiquities.

​@@vincentrandles8105The RU-vidr Minuteman made a a series of videos going through every episode of Hancock's netflix show and detailing exactly why Hancock is wrong and/or misrepresenting evidence in each. Highly recommend

@@davidbodeker6752 Or Miniminuteman - he did a whole series on Graham Hancock. Hancock came close to causing the destruction of a whole archaeological site in Indonesia with his "von Daeniken-esque" ideas.

It's a lawn, the bottles are more important 👍😂 She'd have been bragging for years of they'd actually found anything interesting !

Thanks for the spoiler

@@rheinhardtgrafvonthiesenha8185 Hot 🔥 Tip - Watch the video first... LoL

@@edwardfletcher7790 No doubt. I'll never fathom why people go to the comments before finishing the video and then get all upset. Common sense is becoming as rare as archeological finds in that woman's yard, anymore.

Of all the things to complain about, spoilers for Time Team episodes 😄 hilarious.

Wow, you’ve never heard of Blackadder! How utterly bizarre and sad!

@@catofthecastle1681 "I have a cunning plan ..." 🙃

I still laughing at little every time Tony starts and episode because I first heard Baldric!

@@susanprather1021 How many sugars do you want in your coffee!

If you don't have something to mark your territory, then how is it yours? What's the difference between you and your neighbours? Earthworks like this can be seen from everywhere in the territory, and serve as a locus, a reminder of who this area belongs to, and a constant landmark. So they don't just command the territory, they stamp ownership and belonging on it. Also, these tribes didn't just rub against one another, the tribes of Europe from the neolithic onwards were constantly fighting one another for territory - which is how they invented chainmail, the "griptongue" sword, the "Gallic" helmet used by Roman legions, and many other military technologies that the rest of the world later copied or adopted. These things are not developed as a result of a peaceful lifestyle. Celtic culture was boastful and heroic - communal feasts with tellings of heroic feats, wrestling, challenges between heroes, duels, honour. We're talking about a warrior elite. Don't make the mistake of thinking we're talking about small little groups here, some tribes fielded upwards of 100,000 fully armed, blooded warriors when they fought the Romans for instance.

all i can contribute here is that living in New Mexico has taught me to look to defensible high ground near a water source for stone age artifacts. somehow it seems respectful to leave them where i find them. (of course it's illegal to steal artifacts from federal land.)

The first time I saw him in TT I had no doubt that he was Puck from Shakespeare's Midsummer's Night's Dream. Robin Goodfellow Lives on!

I love all who know Sir Tony as Ballrick. In my family every Thursday and Saturday night lovers of the BBC at my house in Waukon , Iowa watch Boack Addar in the kitchen by the cook stove.

I agree..Helen can do the same too ..Its Mick not Mic 😊😊
