Time Team S10-E04 Fetlar,.Shetlands 

yes .......what night is group...im an addict too

You like the unearthing of history. So do I.

My name is Sue and I’m a TimeTeam Addict...🙋

RonApP SF Why yes... yes it does! Welcome to TTA!!!

@@suecastillo4056 ...I went a whole week without watching but last night I binged all night...

Then John does a geophysics survey and informs you it's just a septic tank. 🤪. But, I like the way you think.

I literally came to make this exact comment.

Well up untill modern times humans looked at the earth and ancient things as things meant for man to use. Even up untill 20th century before population exploded everyone viewed the earth as endless support for humans. This mentality is what gave us mummies for sale in egypt streets, marble covering pyramids building Cairo, and boat graves robbed for iron. I mean b4 modern times to find already processed materials saved you MASSIVELY. So sad yes but its how human culture has ebbed and flowed. I know if i was in nature just surviving and found thousands of pieces of iron pre forged id use them. Survival is so easy now of days our perspective has changed. So while yes its "sad" its 100% understandable.

Awesome comment so everyone who watches knows the ending......duh

@@jimjenkins673 Don't read comments while you're waching?

what are you talking about, idiot it's not even a spoiler .. just bullshit glad I watched it anyway ..

As a descendant of people who probably did go Viking (Swedish from Upsula area), I am saddened her grave was disturbed for financial gain. As an amateur anthropologist, I am very disappointed that the information this could have provided was stolen. Fantastic that they did find it was a ship burial!!!!

...toot toot!

No, apparently time team fans do knit that regularly and send their art work to him. And he was kind enough to wear them

it could just be coincident.....many tribal community all over the world did not make pottery but used stone and wood instead. early Anglo Saxon for example did not make pottery but only used wood, stone and later copper alloy and iron cooking utensils. They only started making pottery after meeting the romans and celts.

@@wewenang5167 coincidence, by definition, is improbable

+TAsatorT Technically, "Viking" just meant people of the bays, same as "Heathen" means people of the heath. Raiders tended to be Viking because most targets were overseas, but forts and castles do exist inland. Those would have also been raiders, but they wouldn't have been Viking.

My point is lumping an entire people under a label that only applies to a relatively small percentage of that population.

Very true. It seems to be a highly specialized label designating a specific professional activity performed by a specific people that spent well over half the time farming and most of what was left trading. So even for that tiny percent of the population, the label is true only a tiny percent of the time. So I think we're saying the same thing, just from slightly different perspectives.

I agree; Same thought, different words.

+TAsatorT Norse refers specifically to Norwegians. Norse Vikings invaded France and settled hence the area called Normandy. The Danes invaded England taking half, known then as the Danelaw. Russia gets its name from the Swedish Vikings who explored as far as Constantinople.

Wow. That's some serious record keeping.

@@Seeker386 I've been doing genealogy for nearly 40 years. Some lines I've gotten pretty far back. Others, I've run into brick walls after only a few generations.

@@tammydriver5759 I follow Herstory, the line of the mothers, which holds truer than paternity. Isn't it exciting to be living in the age of DNA! It's cracked genealogy wide open.

@@willowscarclan I've never heard of Herstory.

As a fairly accomplished finger style guitarist, I believe you’ll find Phil doesn’t have “stubby fingers”...

That is what I'm thinking, I have a cherrywood bread bowl that belonged to one of my great grandmothers. Grandma's cherrywood chopping bowl wore out about 25 years ago so I bought my own. Food processors just do not chop or mince well.

I'm thinking not, because wheat or other grain flour would be in about as short supply as wood. I'd love to have one for that though! (modern, not robbed)

yeh they just raided and came there just for the sake of raiding and to get money and slave...no land shortage what so ever.

the 80 thousand figure is likely an underestimate and is really only one historians view, most peg it at around 150,000 rising to half a million a few centuries later, even at 80,000 there would not of been enough land for each family to have it's own farm or production area so it was natural to look outwards

As much as I detest conspiracy theories, I swear there is a massive conspiracy to keep us (Americans) all as stupid as possible!

Michelle Twidwell Still, US scientists get the most Nobel prizes in the world. But wait, that is of course some other conspiracy. A Scandinavian one no doubt.

+Ronald de Rooij It's them damned Cubans again!

+Chubachus Lol...

+Chubachus No it's because BBC4 won't or can't license the program. If you're an American, you can't access content on the BBC4 website.

Ay finds belong to the landowner first and foremost. However, if the objects, or multiple objects, like hoards, are very valuable or important to the country it is claimed by the crown and the experts place a monetary value on it. this value is payed to the owner. A great example of this is their video about the Saxon hoard. In this one a metal detectorist and the landowner share the cash but it principle is the same. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eHjh8kL0d78.html There are even more videos on it now. Find them with a simple google search for Saxon hoard.

That's in England and Wales. The laws in Scotland are a bit different, I believe.

Not living in it, they're living on top of it.

cats enjoy pianos because when played well they enjoy the relaxing vibrations from the wood of the piano ...

So what? You want perfection go buy the vids. It's not like the rest of us haven't noticed but didn't bother to say anything.

If a video is too out of sync I download it and play it on my Gom player. Gom has a huge amount of ways to alter a video and its sound and I can easily speed up or slow down the video to match the sound. Best of all it's free and easy to use. Best player I have ever found.

@@scarletfluerr - rather smug to assume it's available for sale everywhere; search for Region 1 DVDs and you find they aren't

That's a strange name.

yeah i am on it but ts not much

It’s getting better.

Linda Lawrence In the US we just consider it a ‘yard’. ie The backyard.

Just a different word for yard

dont feel bad americans still think canadians live in igloos ... but we have seasons too ... some people just dont bother to educate themselves or even bother to not continue a falsehood they no to be a falsehood.

@@0623kaboom Americans have what to do with anything at all here, you xenophobic twat.

Frequently it's done on purpose to avoid copyright problems. Seeing as you're not having to pay for these suck it up buttercup.

Googbye TIME TEAM GUYS. THANK YOU

cargilekm After Time Team been cancelled and Time Time America failing after eight episodes there are a few shows or specials left but you have to look for them. Smithsonian, National Geographic and PBS are the ones I check online weekly for informative T.V.

thankyou and it is nice to know there are places we can go to find intelligent entertainment.

@SuperGrumpy1980 ah makes sense then

Phil is a finger style guitar player. The nails on his right hand are long to pluck the strings instead of using a pick. The only time his nails are dirty is when he is digging in mud. Otherwise he keeps his hands scrupulously clean. Get over it.

YES! A grave is a grave is a grave. Shouldn't be messed with.

@@hippymama100 The early grave robbers were thieves after treasure. The modern archaeologist is after something much more precious: Knowledge.

He's a guitarist.

Those nails are darn handy for picking at detritus and scraping dirt!

... great, another "nail" comment --- the dude is a serious guitarist

Mind you own damned business. Phil is a serious guitar player and uses his nails instead of a pick. All finger style guitarists have longer nails on their dominant hand and shorter nails on the hand they use on the frets.

Unless you are perfect you probably should withold your criticism especially since you are home on the sofa.

Please tell me you are trolling.

Because there are 195 countries on earth and only 3 use feet and inches, Burma, Liberia, USA, all the rest are metric, so that makes you an american in the minority, need I say more.

Ethan Allen actually they are all employed as architects or at museums. That is why they only have three days. And they are all extremely prominent in their fields. And the bald hippie is Mick, my favorite. RIP Mick!

Not architects archaeologists.

Ethan Allen, you degenerate the good name of EA. Something more appropriate for you would be Donald trump.
