Time Team S06E06 Smallhythe,Kent 

Kate I agree but many people don’t understand that. I read a comment that he didn’t contribute anything to this show, some people are pretty ignorant but I guess we knew that before.

Next to Geophys, Stewart is probably the 2nd most important person there for solving the dig site.

Oh yes, Stewart knows his stuff. Mick Aston was a landscape archaeology pioneer, he and a colleage actually coined the term. So no wonder there's a knowledgable one like Stewart there.

@@bokhans Even in other fields it is important to understand the previous land use. My Silvaculture professor drilled that into us as it was important in coming up with a use plan.

Fully agree,his “reading “ of the landscape is spot on and often the only lead to the answer!

I binge watched them all last year and now I watch a show every now and then. I really like that show

I'm hooked now to keep my sanity in 2020.

Actually, I have now started in archaeology at uni and gotten into a trench. Much because I have always wanted to. This is a hard work but very rewarding. What they are doing in the trenches is very real, I attribute it to watching Time Team all over again that I finally did it and just went for it. Im 55 and had an office and driving career before besides being educated as a prescool teacher. Im bloody happy with myself now.

@@birnamagnusdottir5189 WOW that's amazing! Very inspiring!

Cute pun :-)

Ditto here

Hireath. Top re return to a place or long for a place you've never been. It's like a home you've never seen. There's no real English translation but thought I'd share

Any experienced Land Surveyor can do that. It comes with the trade. That said, Stewart works with some of the most fascinating landscapes on the planet.

It’s magical the way he can project the ancient landscape in his head from the remnants of the past.

@@lilykatmoon4508 no, it’s really not. Many can do it. Ffs

@@Invictus13666 well, it’s magickal to me, and I shall keep been delighted by him. Blessed be.

@@lilykatmoon4508 someday look into who wrote the textbook and designed the program stewie learned from.

Wystyria Yes, you can see it on Sir Tony's face. He had a cunning plan.

Lol poor Phil, always getting picked on by Tony. Their playful banter is so funny XD

+Wystyria (puritygrace2015) Tony,such a big child :)))

I saw it coming but i still laughed like mad when it happened XD

@@sircalculus1448 the anticipation doesnt reduce the hilarity of it. I had the same experience.

lol

Susan Shock I just discovered the series by accident several months ago. I’m hooked. Love the show and the team.

Susan Shock Check out Timeline Documentaries, and also check out Dan Carlin's podcast Hardcore History (this one is absolutely unreal.) If you like this show you'll love the Timeline channel, and if you like history you'll be addicted to Dan Carlin's affinity for historical narratives. He's one of the greatest storytellers alive today.

They did a four-day one--I think Coventry Cathedral. They found a body late on the 3rd day and had to excavate before the developers moved in.

I think it's because so many had other jobs. Mick lectured at university and I can imagine that he had no lectures on Friday, so was able to devote that day and the weekend to Time Team.

Kate I feel exactly the same

Not for the first or the last time... ;-)

Carenza tries to take over other people's ideas and rarely adds anything interesting.

sour grapes you w. She's N°2 in rank

@@wbrewer5352 Cite evidence, Brewer? You've got a problem (it's called sexism) and the rest of us notice. We wonder if you could accomplish even a fraction of what Carenza does. And if your life has felt so disappointing to you that you need to take down someone else in this way.

fun fact on the name Carenza: in italian means shortage, and she obviously has no shortcomings in any field

@@souloftheteacher9427 Sexism? I just find Carenza annoying as a human being regardless of her gender.

On the door bottom a sign says: "Made in China"!!!!

I believe it's BBC4.

@@sheilaghbrosky no there was no BBC 4 it was Channel 4 --a commercial channel.That is why it differs from BBC documentaries of the period.They have done a lot of production work to attract a wide range of viewers.I'm not going to join the debates about sexism and 'dumbing down' but there is evidence of a style and feel aimed at viewing figures.

MVP!

Joseph Cyril Bamford - see www.jcb.com Such a success that It's practically generic for "construction machine" in the UK.

Mike.Parker Pearson figured out Stonehenge, although he and Damien do look alike.

Apparently, the correct spelling is "Delf". See www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/ArchCant/123-2003/123-16.pdf

At least they wear long pants. Also, better not to sit anywhere.

Not ton...tun.

A "English" or non-metric ton is 2000 lbs, which is very close to the weight of the tun at 2016 lbs. 2200 lbs is a "metric ton" or 1000 kg.

Someone wiser than me, told me to assume "a pint is a pound" and extrapolate. Perhaps using Robin as a visualization was inaccurate. He's almost a cubit and a half too tall.

+achtungcircus A "ton" is a measure of weight. A "tun" is a cask or a measure of liquid capacity.

Technically - yesterday.

becuase this aired in 1999. use of lidar for archaeology wasn't a thing for quite some time yet.

And Henrici, not Henrica.

Have you never heard of forge welding,? A technique that's nearly as old as the iron age itself; I do it as a hobby.

Look at a Damascus barrelled shotgun, or indeed, any gun made in the Victorian era and earlier. These are, of course the highest examples. Each piece of barrel length (about 4") was made of bundles of square steel wire and forged around a mandrel then the pieces were forge welded together to make up the full barrel length. Damascening itself is an example of forge welding too. Just about anything that, today we'd weld by arc or gas was forge welded., it's just a matter of the right heat (straw colour) and then pounding it so that the metal literally flows together. Hard work but satisfying. You might want to look on YT, I think there is a video of a bloke making a pistol barrel, though not Damascus. I've got a W. H. Watson 12 bore made for my grandad in 1884, it's got the most gorgeous Damascus barrels and I still use it; although originally proofed for black powder only, my dad had it nitro proofed in 1970. Strong evidence that Damascus and forge welding is not only pretty but strong.

I'll take some pictures. Most of my work is rather crude; for instance just joining wrought iron gate parts without rivets and barrel hoops for wooden buckets, iron tyres etc, though I did make a copy of a Saxon sword which took me nearly a month. email me at:thelimey 39@gmail.com You must be a real artist and craftsman and I envy you. The only real casting I've done was a quarter scale cast iron 9 pounder cannon and for that had to use a friend's home foundry and green sand mould though I made a rather nice wood pattern, if I say so myself. What ancient weapons do you use? I might want to make some. Enjoy your day and continue with your arts and crafts. Perhaps you might invest in an anvil and tools, iron and steel are very easy to work with and bloody good exercise.

I'm a retired old fart so have the time to mess around and make things. Very satisfying as you obviously know. I'd love to expand my skills and hope you can help me. I might be able to help you with smithing in exchange.

Phil is so funny and charming at the same time😊

@FESERFACE over your feser to begin with. You wouldn't stand a chance with a wart infested crone with poor eyesight. Your face being festered and plauged as it is. Why the put down of these archaeologists?
