The Elizabethan Blast Furnace Hidden Under A Cottage | Time Team | Timeline 

As a glassblower whose also tried his hand at metal casting and blacksmithing it is absolutely mind blowing to me how much information you can get out of what are in the end industrial waste products.

That guy is quite the artist.

Got to love Bridget, always good to have a kiwi on the team......

The ca. 1719 house I owned 20 years ago (Massachusetts, USA) was originally owned by a family (Newton) who had bloomers who had an Iron works (ca. 1729) on a stream. I started looking into it and found a group trying to work out that direct reduction process. Successfully made 3 blooms. One I think was 32lbs!

In Saugus, Massachusetts there is a fully restored blast furnace and forge from the 1600's. Labeled as the First Iron Works in America.

What a fantastic find... was it ever explored more?

'Skipping around like a little lamb' 😂

Wow, imagine having a house like that. Amazing.

7:18 As tyrants go... ... 7:58 Phil is very responsive to the “lesser people”.

At the end of day two they had dug down 1\3 of a Tony and needed to dig 2\3 of a Tony on day three. Classic and classy that Sir Tony!:-) 🖖

Homeboy picking up his brushes again, why’d he ever put them down!? His paintings of the men that potentially worked there are stunning!

This is real history, people doing stuff that isn't only fighting, building on knowledge that's gotten us to a place where we're able to get off the planet, truly amazing we were around for tens of thousands of years with basic stone tools, then something changed, I say it was freedom of thought; all original ideas are built on the acceptability of being different and being in a culture with a level of freedom and acceptability to try different things, think differently, and not be afraid of the unknown, or minor failures.

I love all these documentaries.

NZ fan love this program 🤙🍻🇳🇿

Enjoyed, thank you very much!

Everyone seems on edge this episode. How odd.

Thank you.

Those are some of the most perfectly rectangular holes I’ve ever seen dug.

It is gratifying to see Women becoming intimately involved with this project.

Let’s guess. Three days? 1:35 Confirmed.

the only man how works, is the man with the hat lol lol lol lol lol

Wow!!! A 3 weeks dig, that's new! I love that! ❤

Wow. Look at Carenza's shoulders c.3:05! She looks pretty strong.

Totally fascinating !!!

Wonderful!:-) 🖖

Someone needs to make a compilation of all the times Carenza was cut off, interrupted, talked over, ignored, overruled and got things mansplained to her on this show :(

Looking at the computers 41:32 I'm guessing early 2000's, when did this episode first air? Is Time Team still making new episodes? If not, when did they stop?

When did Tony become the site manager?

Any videos on the Tartarian empire?

I don’t appreciate that Timeline has added these History Hits advertisements with Dan to all their videos and I am considering canceling my subscription since I pay extra for Premium RU-vid to avoid ads. I am not interested in Dan’s new channel and I consider his ads a waster of my time and am offended that they have gotten around the removal of ads to Premium subscribers by adding ads at the beginning of every video. Sure, I can and do fast-forward past Dan, but I don’t appreciate it and therefore every video, regardless of quality of content, will get a thumbs down from now on.

@Timeline - World History Documentaries I’m on this video which is your latest...to ask where I can find Mary Magdalene’s cult in Europe... I’m pretty sure I saw that documentary on your channel 1 year ago... I hope for a response... Thank you!

It’s 6:06

Roasted ore, Yum!

day 2 of getting high and binge watching time team

Are there Roman blooms? They needed a lot of Iron just for their hobnails.

They make a bloomery, then don't put bellows in to get it hot enough.

The exclusive offers never going to work dude.

As an American, I really hope Tony has quit using the expression "come up trumps." 🤣

Anybody tired of seeing Dan Snow....? F!

Is that Baldric in the thumbnail? I have a cunning plan...

Time Team needs a proper foreman on site to keep everyone on the same page.

Good :)

And here I am working so I can eat.............Take my money ...dig holes

That's a cottage ?

Tyquan vs piers wish me luck

If I were Phil, I'd sit back with a pint and just watch those girls dig. ;)

Look man. Would you be able to provide your exclusive contents in curiosity? I really dont plan to have more subscriptions.

Tony is wearing clothes fit him!

Lol

This intro sucks. I understand dan... or whatever his name is.... is hired to introduce the videos... but why not allow them to stand alone? There's already 40 minutes of adveryisements.

Geophys is so horribly inaccurate that I bet the real reason they want to do that tiny space is so they could finally get a result and claim success.

Nobody throws shade like British amateurs.

Tony really gets into your personal space, and makes you feel uncomfortable.

Love English humor, more digging? I protest, but, ok.

yooho, first comment, may be 🤪

Unsatisfying.

Tony Robinson is annoying and makes watching this always unbearable

way to much speculation on this episode.

Great program Blokes. I volunteer to come help Mrs Lewis. She's far better looking than all of you Blokes.

Please, please, we are a group of Arab viewers. Please add Arabic to the videos

Always a few fine females on these digs. That would make the work much more bearable. 👍🏻😀

Pretty sure you already posted this episode in December of 2019?
