Time Team S10-E02 Dinnington,.Somerset 

Victor, I am sure wherever you live is equally rich in its OWN culture. You just have to dig around a little!!

OMG you should live in Bulgaria - Ive dug up 2 enamel Roman bracelets, a spear tip, one of those scraper things, a Greek bronze penannular broach, a stone neolithic polished axe head either in my garden or in the hill down the road. The place is absolutely HEAVING with the stuff.

The Americas ARE rich in history - it hasn't been studied near as thoroughly as Europe's has.

You should come to live in my town. If you are building something their is 99% change you have archeology in your garden.

@@harrybruijs2614 nice, mate; where would your town be? cheers!

That's what I said 😅

Doing the same in 2021!

Am enjoying also in January 2022... 😏

@@dalekundtz760 Before this Covid thing is over, there maybe be several new terms, like "re-binging" and "re-re-binging"... All in all, many blessings upon Tony and all the Time Team Crew. I now have my official Time Team trowel and can't wait until the ground un-freezes.

I discovered _Time Team_ during the initial lockdown period, and did the same thing as you did -- kept my mind at work, learning about British geography, history, and culture through the show. I'm in the US, so this series has given me a greater appreciation of how British and US history are intertwined. Besides which, I'm always fascinated to see shots of a town's main drag, and people blithely wandering in and out of buildings which pre-date the first permanent European settlements in North America. Man, the US is freakin' _young!_

Marnie Sweet To be honest, it looks like the archaeology they rail against at moments. "Ooh a mosaic! Expand the trench!". At points, it becomes more like treasure hunting in a way. And you see the archaeologists trying to not do this, but failing each time they see a mosaic. around 15:00 they talk about this. But it remains true.

To be fair, it is a pretty exciting find!

marco mcdowell I have found these to be fascinating for the same reasons. With the genealogical studies different branches of my family have done I hear names and see places that I find familiar from them. So here with Welsh, Scottish, and English ancestors I get to see the context those various ancestors of lifes. That makes them more than just names and dates.

+Celto Loco Actually while some of my forefathers were English, most of my linage is Scottish (Scots Irish) and Welsh with smatterings of Swedish, French Huguenots. Even my "English" ancestors were Normans who actually originated in Norway. If you want to say that America's history includes her BRITISH colonial history I could agree with you, but recognize that England is only a part of Britain, and only a portion of our colonial history.

+Celto Loco yes it was mostly English that stole the land from the Americans. USA a bad world history , shameful.

It is amazing how little you all know about America's history. New York for instance was a Dutch colony named New Amsterdam; Florida, Texas, New Mexico, and California were claimed and settled by Spain; Louisiana and much of the Mississippi Valley was colonized by the French - perhaps you have heard of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, St. Louis, Des Moines, Cadillac, and Detroit. Oh, and let us not forget Alaska (the Russians) and Hawaii (the Polynesians). Do you not understand that even at the time of our revolution in the 18th Century much of the population of Pennsylvania was of German origin? So much so that at one point just after the Revolution America considered changing out national language from English to German. Oh, and if you are looking for what many call the true bastard parentage of America - MONEY - you will find that our monetary system rejected the English model of 240 silver pennies to the Pound in favor of the Spanish Dolar. Well, enough of a history lesson for you?

+Saint Boudreau That is the history of the world if you look back far enough and not so far for some, and it still continues. People will always fight and kill for land, water, and food. The horrible mess that the Balkans become had its roots back before the Roman empire. There are not a people in the world who have not had bloody hands. The back and forth here because one person appreciated the upload of this series because of a personal interest is just strange.

+CompetitiveAudio Thank you! I totally feel the same way!

+CompetitiveAudio Bravo! I think this EVERY time they fucking bitch!

+damaged05170 When you consider the amount of time the user took to rip the DVD, then suffer the upload time all on his 'dime' so to speak, I figure a little 'thank you' is not to much to give...

CompetitiveAudio Agreed...this is not a paid service; this content specifically is SO educational that people just need to watch & learn. Manners cost NOTHING. Bitching is free, yeah?

H

+Chubachus Mine too.

Any non-Neil Holbrook Roman episodes are mine.

Sure enjoy these videos; thank you Time Time and the people who share them.

I thought I was to drunk 😅

It does seem like a pretty baseless suggestion, they’re on a limited schedule, and Neil pretty much told her to shut up and sit down, in a condescending tone that strikes me anew each time I watch this episode. I believe this was Bridget’s first season on the show; after this episode I bet she was questioning her choices.

Typical male cronie attitude. Always take the man's opinion over the woman even though this woman was 100 percent correct. Brigid is a very smart woman and men always feel threatened by that.

​@deborahparham3783 nah I think it was a d ck move on his part trying to seem more important, he did her wrong I believe. He tried to cover it In the end but could not😊

You could almost say that it called to her. I mean, what compelled her to dig. And to dig at that very spot where finds were found near the surface? Had she dug a few yards or meters in a different direction, perhaps, she might not have found anything and this huge villa might still be undiscovered. Or worse, subject to more damage from the plowing.

Think of a modern mansion on a popular spot today 😊

April or May 2002

Wikipedia is your friend. The video title says series 10, episode 02. On the Wikipedia page “List of Time Team episodes” you’ll find that the original airdate was 12 January 2003, so it must have been filmed in 2002.

Takes me back to my Johnny Sacko days! : )

😂😂

I agree!

Deb Carsey thank you

+MultiMangaGuy look on line at the homes of the 1% filthy rich. taste of course is a matter of taste...........but elaborate . all humans have talent. with time a slave can produce art.

...ah, that's how it got "mad"

And I'm here on Thanksgiving 2020. So... hi!

Normal practice would be to leave it in situ. The landowners appear enthusiastic about the dig and so one would hope they reviewed their ploughing options after the show!

@@Wally-H Having grown up in farming country in the mid-western USA, I can see the owners wanting to plow the land for next year's crops, but I dread to think of the damage that they might cause to the uppermost mosaics, the ones that are only 4-6 inches below the surface. Perhaps they will be able to stake out the area and let if go fallow.

They did go back! Search youtube for Time Team Big Roman Dig!

I have fond memories of watching Kung Fu movies with my brothers back in the eighties that were poorly dubbed and often out of sync so this doesn't really bother me much. Those old films rocked!

@@billie-jobenway8658 it's not a proper kung-fu movie if it's not badly dubbed and out of sync.

@@craigmccullough7333 Absolutely! My kids were treated to a lot of the older ones and also Iron Monkey 1 and 2. My son is a huge fan like me:)

M y favorite were the old Godzilla movies!

It's fine if you look for godzilla in the background.

Boooo

Jessica Adams awww come on not even a chuckle?

HA HA. Good play on words.

If it ain't baroque, don't fix it.

@@Jess-ey5rh Bring back the frog!

*A Meemur* There are strict legal limits as to how deep the farmer is allowed to plough the field but, as long as the site is not damaged archæologically, it can be used.

Mick doesn't appear in many Roman digs in later episodes, he openly stated; "I can't stand anything Roman." As for Raksha, I don't think she was part of Time Team in season 10? Phil's eye? Somebody probably punched him, lol.

Time team revisits this site in The Big Roman Dig, which was aired between the last episode of season 12 and the first of season 13 as a Time team special. A different uploader has the episode here on youtube.

+himssendol thanks !!!!!

+moora mcmillan You're welcome!! If you are interested in roman villas dug by time team try watching s05-e04 turkdean villa and s06-e09 turkdean revisited. It's also a big honking huge roman villa in an empty field. My favourite was the roman water pipes they found that still worked.

will do ! absolutely! thank you!

It we covered over again and left as it was apart from one piece of the mosaic that is embedded in the floor of the local church

Revisited in 2006 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F9kUAJCsJ-A.html

Good thought, I was wondering how this could be so much lower than the rest.

*Donald Brown* They're reburied as the sheer cost of lifting them _safely_ is astronomical. They're protected by _scheduling_ which means strict legal limits on the depth of ploughing allowed.

+susan webb Not me , I love flying...wish I had taken flying lessons when I had the chance. Been up in airliners, Cessnas, Piper Cherokee, Piper PA-12 on floats, Stearman biplane and an old Bell 47 heli....the kind you saw on MASH. Nothing beats flying and seeing the earth by air.

He does look extremely worried - what a contrast to Mick who was leaning so far out that he nearly fell out of the helicopter over the "Turkdean" site, so enthusiastic was he at the ancient landscape and the incredible crop marks he could see ! 😜

He did not mean meters square (m2) but square meters (100m×100m). Confusing, yes, 'cause sometimes they use official mesurement while other times they are descriptive. You get use to it and it becomes one of those little tweaks we love

We can only hope!

Yes.

Reburied and scheduled. Later redug by *TT* and even later by other archæologists.

I'm not sure if you ever watched the follow-up work at this site, but Time Team returned twice more, first as one of several sites dug on in The Big Roman Dig ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a1RkcHClxwI.html and then later again as a Time Team Special ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F9kUAJCsJ-A.html where they compiled all the information.

@@billie-jobenway8658 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

@@minimaker5600 My pleasure.

These series 10 episodes were made long before Mick left the show. He simply wasn't available for this one
