Get Phil new hat and manicure

Sounds a bit like the way the fellow who discovered Sutton Hoo was treated.

Same back then as is all too present now. Professional jealousy. Snobbery. Class hatred. You name it. How dare a basically educated person find something the stuck up big nobs couldn’t find if they tripped over it! “I mean, c’mon, we went to university and spent years learning the science and now some jumped up ex soldier thinks he knows all about archaeology!” And because they were Doctors, they were credible and poor John Pool was not.

@ggelsrinc - Sort of a decorative way to store their flint. Those ancient peoples were landscape architects!

That isn't taking into account the fact that because flint was rare, it was special and therefore had value outside its practical uses. People have buried gold for millennia with no intention of digging it back up, because it held value and burning it with a dead person showed that that person was important.

maybe that mound was some sort of storage facility. they might not wanted to carry that stuff to their settlement and needed a place to visibly store it.

I agree. It makes sense to stash away flint for the next time they passed through. There could be an element of returning the flint to the earth but not all of it.

They haven't uploaded ALL of the episodes.

panic ?

Unfortunately, they have taken someone else’s work and published it as their own. Please watch the original videos on Time Team Classics.

Yup. Either that or perhaps even classifying the flint to some degree. Dig up a bunch of flint, bring it over, and someone takes/chips away the good stuff and throws the bad stuff in a hole. People havent changed much in 10000 years, some clever sods were around. The frustrating thing about time team is certainly the 3 day limit.

Given how hard it was to survive back then, I suspect the average IQ was well above what it today.

@Owen Bell - Those early peoples created a beautiful way to warehouse their mined flint. They were real landscape architects.

I think it is a bank of the "used" flint.

@Nordmalm Nordmalmsson nice

@@annazaman9657 thank you

masses of cell phones + play stations, lol

Our structures won't be as visible but it'll be an archeologist's wet dream with all of the trash and objects and such.

In some respects thats possible, as well as them having to sacrifice part of the resource to thank the gods for what they took.

@Peter Jerchel - Bingo!

is reality,they only had 3 days,as all of them had other day jobs as well.

Oi. Get out of here here with your small fiery ring men

Lol why the fuck do you care

They were still used at that time, and even later into the bronze age.

@@kuzzbillington6392 A picture for every time. actually I still use one for my potato's. Thanks Buzz.

Yeah. Life & fools

@@matthewthomas3890 😁

Yeah its almost as if scientists are humans. Oh wait...

Neolithic refers to technology, not to racial or tribal identity.

I love the drums, I drum along

Time Team cameramen never failed to catch the down-blouse angles, also....

It's Dr. Alice Roberts, so yeah. She's a stunner for sure. The Bath dig the cameraman really likes her :) She has her own show called "digging for Britain"

Stick to armchair archaeology of you're "self-taught".

So would a devastating event such as world wide catastrophe, including a flood!

Look at the hits, etc.Its entertainment not PhD work. As a TV show it expanded interest in the ancient world , like never before. Your opinion is both negative and completely missed the point.

Time Team undertook archaeological evaluations - targeted trenches to answer specific questions about a site - rather than full excavations. It is a standard method of archaeological fieldwork. From a recent issue of Current Archaeology: 'One of the more hotly debated aspects of the show was the three-day format. While this was, to some extent, borne out of production necessities, members of the Team who came from a commercial archaeology background have noted that this fast pace replicated the realities of much day-to-day archaeology. A significant proportion of archaeological work is reactive rescue archaeology, with teams called in to quickly evaluate and record a site against a ticking clock, before it is lost forever to a housing development, a new train line such as HS2, or a natural threat like coastal erosion. This speed did not compromise the integrity of the Team's archaeological work: more than 200 published reports produced by Wessex Archaeology highlight the considerable contribution the show made to archaeological literature, and while the programme was filming it was second only to English Heritage as a funder of archaeology in the UK. Several sites have been scheduled as a direct result of the Team's work, while their excavation at Blaenavon, near Pontypool, assisted in the industrial site achieving World Heritage Site status in 2000. Moreover, one of Time Team's excavations abroad, investigating a Roman barge in Utrecht, is currently part of a wider application under consideration by UNESCO.'

???????????????lol

A bit too fancy for you ? Try Alabama.

Agreed. With or without lock down. Glad to see I'm not the only one passing lock down with time team.

Lol at least you still alive to comment about it.

@@annazaman9657 probably a glitch in the bot's programing...

You read about the real Jesus in the Bible...

@@kevinwhilock1457 The real Jesus lives in Mexico. Actually there are lot's of them.

Tony Robinson (but also Phil) was the heart and soul of this show. New TT sucks.

At no time have I ever heard Time Team refer to prehistoric persons as dumb. Quite the contrary, they are always amazed at how ancient persons adapted to their environment and attempts to control it. The reason they theorize how the bones and sticks were used or their purpose is due to the effort of experimental archaeologists. You’ll see them featured thru out the series. By examining microabrasions on bones and sticks they can see how they were used. Lastly how can you say we don’t have a single clue about their technology? What are artifacts? Like bones found at the site, knapped flint? I’m not entirely sure what your purpose is to your post.
