The Mammoth Buried In The British Countryside | Time Team | Absolute History 

I never saw these on TV, so every time I find a new one (for me) I'm excited. I must have watched 50 episodes so far, over 2 or 3 years, and I have to say this one has turned out to be my all-time favourite. That's because, apart from Phil and his flint-knapping, none of the Time Team regulars know much about stuff from 200,000 years ago, so they had to bring in experts on flora and fauna. And what experts! - from these distinguished folk's investigation of the smallest of clues - snail shells, wood samples, fish bones and the like - as well as being able to identify bones of larger animals, we learn what the local vegetation cover was like, what the climate must have been like, and even whether the Gulf Stream would have been flowing at the time! This I find nothing short of amazing. And the sight of Phil sitting comfortably and totally absorbed in his flint-knapping was the highlight for me. Thanks to all, way back then, for this very absorbing episode in the series.

Every time Phil Harding starts flint-knapping, he becomes totally immersed, even while he's talking. I hope I ever find a hobby that makes me as happy as flint-knapping makes Phil.

You know anything with Tony Robinson will be a brilliant time! ❤

“Oxfordshire” has got to be one of Britain’s most British location.

You can tell how old a video is by Tonys hair & Phils Hat!

Time team is my jam. Great work

Phil Harding is amazing. Able to create a hand axe in moments.

Wow this must be really old, Tony Robinson actually has hair! 😂

Interesting to note they talk of vast amounts of fossils being found in gravel pits without hinting at the reason. Impressive work has been done in the last ten years notably on the Younger Dryas hypothesis, which implicates a major climatic catastrophe that took place 12,500 years ago which was responsible for killing off 95% of the earths mega fauna. Worth watching Randall Carlson's podcasts on Kosmographia for a starter!

lol so old, but still good. Interesting to see Tony with that much hair.

Shout out to Sir Mick ! Rip. So glad to see u again. 2024

The HAIR! I’m a simple girl, I see Tony, I watch lol.

I love watching these, I grew up watching this and shows like it with my mom. I share them with her frequently

I love this show.

Tony and the Gang! I love this team. Entertaining and informative!

I really like this series but I am very upset at the attitudes of some regarding history worth sacrificing. i do UNDERSTAND the thought process but I just disagree...but live this type of education!

The sweater crew! Love ❤️ it. Tony is such a funny man! Make me smile when he smiles!

I often imagine that when Tony turns to address the camera, the others turn away because they think he's a nutter talking to his imaginary friend. "Stone the crows, he's at it again", Phil mumbles into his hat.

I clicked because of the fabulous hair and I am not disappointed.

The Antler Use in the flint tapping!! Cool!!#FlintTapping#AntlerHammer

OMG, lolololol!! I thought the one guy looked like a younger version of himself but it took me 5 minute in to realize that it's the one host but with long black hair, lololol!!
