Time Team S11-E03 Loch.Migdale,.Scottish.Highlands 

I'm watching on the spring equinox of 2023! 😊

@@judithmacfadzen9516 Happy equinox! May all seeds you seed this year grow and thrive! Thanks for your reaction on my comment. It makes me realise last year has been a tremendous changing one. In the end of spring we went on a month long trip. That set us on selling our house, move into a caravan and start travelling the world. We are on the road now, tomorrow we will enter Portugal. So for me '22 was a good crop. I hope this year will bring you whatever you desire!

What year was this first shown?

@@maddiecat4190 JAN. 16 , 1994 was the date the first episode aired . i think the best episode is "Finds on the Fairway" Series 14 (2007) it's the first episode . check it out .

@@maddiecat4190 this episode aired on 18 January 2004 .

Thanks. ◉‿◉

Not if they discover some of our tombs and graves.

I have cat friends. They do worship them. But the cats are too aloof to care. 😂

If all documentary evidence is lost in some universal disk error/book burning/collective amnesia then maybe.

@Carol Lott Waller: HA! So true! Why is it archaeologists overlook normal human behavior, and ascribe every token of affection or respect as "worship"? Oh. It's just hit me: because they don't understand worship. They're mostly atheists. To them, worship is incomprehensible. They see the outward trappings, nothing more. When "outward trappings" appear, it must be worship. They need to team up with psychologists - and theologians.

@@rubynibs Oh, we understand worship and don't find it incomprehensible at all. We see it as an interesting psychological phenomenon.

heard the similar stories

Well it's a good thing she was not an archeologist.

I've never heard that but it's interesting.

@@EdibleOutdoors why?

Melody Szadkowski Thats a great premise for a horror movie! Tv archeology team unleashes evil spirit.

"Keep going Phil, you'll be fine!"

Got to wonder why Henry is trying to drown our Phil. Not nice Henry.

Phill has referred to Henry as "The little fella" a time or two. Perhaps a little revenge. @@deborahparham3783

Chk his wiki page.... he is the president of the Nautical Archaeology Society. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Harding_(archaeologist)

Edwin Henry Blachford fear of water? When was that? I has been many seasons back that they dug for a sunken ship in a river, and he was among the divers. Though when tony went for a last dive, Phil didn't join him. As the two days of diving had gotten to him. I assumed it had something to do with his health, the mixture in the oxygen mix or something. But that was fear?

Surely he wasn't so afraid of water that he couldn't lie face down in two feet of water with a mask and wetsuit on?

Fear of water? Phil Harding??? Not in this universe.

Harding, fear of water? Are ye daft lad?

The Basque don't look Scottish or Irish. The Basque do have a certain look (even a certain type of calf of the leg), but it's not Irish or Scottish. I've been wondering why there's supposed to be a connection, yet the Basque don't look like Irish or Scottish.

Le Kre oops, and the Sumerians.

Le Kre oops, and the Sumerians.

This is some colonial BS. There were thriving ancient civilizations, with complex societies, all over the world.

It began in Africa

@@ceeej1290 Prove it based on the archeology, I'll wait. Fun fact; it didn't, because NOTHING is left to prove it.

@Chrris Smith many states have programs looking for volunteers, free training and all the bugs you can eat...ring up your local historic resources office.

Stuart is very knowledgeable about many topics. He is usually right. Once in awhile he's not. He's very dedicated that's for sure. But bottom line if I were putting together a team, I'd choose him for sure.

I always like how Stewart doesn't go along with the group but has his own ideas and pushes to prove them

Imagine if they Sent Stewart ahead the day before..... Time team would only be a half day of digging.

I LIKE Stuart. He's my favorite, really. At first I didn't appreciate the nervous kind of way that he spoke but then he grew on me because he was right so much of the time and I really needed his insightful overview of the scene. The fact that the others tended to make fun of Stuart no doubt caused him to seem a "pompous arse" because he was always having to defend himself. I'm pretty sure that the producers created scenarios to improve viewership--such as perhaps encouraging the conflict between John (who is my least favorite because of his superior behavior) and Stuart. (No. I take that back. Carenza is my least favorite. She talks way too much, overriding other people including Mick. No. No. I'm wrong. My least favorite is Francis Pryor. His insistence that everything was ritual was exhausting.) I expect the producers knew which button to push for every one of them and who could best push it. It was MIck who held them all together because they were an otherwise ungovernable bunch with a lot of competition between them to be the one who knows. But God bless them all wherever they may be now. It was fascinating watching.

I liked him but I do agree that he grew on my me other time and the contributions he made.

Well he is there to translate to readers of the Beano ;)

Found your comment just as it started. Henry: "You'll be fine." I don't think Phil believed him. 😀😁😂

I think people at all times has had a 'great connection' to the things that matter to them. What your concept of 'wholeness' and 'interconnectedness' actually reflects, is a bit unclear to me. Is it spiritual awareness? Is it a close bond to the ecological environment around them? Is it a philosophical framework for their understanding of the world? The romantic idea that ancient man lived in harmony with nature, is not quite accurate. There are indications that prehistoric man is responsible for the extinction of various animal species, mainly larger mammals.

The ancients were far more focused on small areas of life than what we are today. They did not understand their position in the world around them, only in their own village or clan. Constant warring and violence, always trying to stay alive, many by thieving from others. But silly people today to love to dream that people were somehow magically better back then.

Thanks to BBC worldwide, BBC programmes will always be available to you Stateside. Unfortunately, programmes like Time Team rely on a US network spotting their potential and buying them. It's clear from the feedback from so many Americans on RU-vid that your networks really missed a trick by not picking up this show when it was out there

Or a mash up of the two... time gear!! , with clarkston covered in mud looking for old hammonds :)

Was thinking the same

Indeed, and it is ironic that the most famous 'henge' site, Stonehenge, is not technically a henge at all as the ditch is outside the bank. And yes, Stewart is great. He partially inspired my decision to do a landscape archaeology degree.

Lots of people can do what Stew does. It’s even more fun when they do it in thick overgrown forest ...

@@georgedorn1022 Nice!

I'm rather partial to the Welsh ones, but the Scottish ones are a close second.

They're working on bringing it back in some form. Just this week they've raised money on Patreon towards that end.

That's why it is so green lad!

offamychain ‘Archaeoastronomer’...that’s a new one for me! :-)

It's not that odd. In a previous episode, they had an archaeoastronomer at a site in Spain (a Beaker site) and you got the sense they were sort of amused by him and his theories, even though they lined up well with the evidence.

Sadly, Time Team is a dead duck. Tony Robinson has tried to revive interest in it at various times, but the people with their hands on the purse strings don't want to know.

They did revisit some sites but I assume only when the production co felt a follow up would make compelling tv (so Channel 4 could sell more ads).

Like some of the Roman sites.

He annoys me, too. But he Was Asked what his gut instinct was -- and of course he said 100% prehistoric, because that's his field. At least for those first few minutes he wasn't speculating past the evidence.

He went to Eaton, so he is a bullshitter, just like all of his alummni who are now in government.

Without a doubt

@@lisakilmer2667 his usual response tbh

Mick 😊

That warm weather was caused by the gulf stream, nonetheless. With temperatures rising in the Atlantic, there won‘t be a gulf stream much longer, and Scotland will become more like todays Iceland. Desirable?

@@juttamaier2111 no its was caused by oblicty at its max and waning now

she's over 9 foot i'd say, on a windy day

5"10", actually.

5 foot 16 and a quarter in her stocking feet :)

+Greg B and destroy ALL the archeology....

Greg B , Well, I think that's a great idea I certainly would not have had. Maybe someday some people will have the time and funds to do that. With a large enough dam and a sieving system for water pumped out I don't think any archeology would be lost. In fact probably more would be revealed.

These are exploratory digs to see if there's reason to go further or schedule it. In the meantime, things are best left as they are; if they've managed to be preserved for thousands of years in those conditions, they'll be safe for at least the near future.

They would lose any organic finds as they start to decompose as soon as they're exposed to oxygen. Whatever they take out has to be kept in water to preserve it.

It was warmer back then...

There's one in fife one in Orkney one in mull one in NE scotland Peterhead area and one in govan thats my knowledge of Scottish episodes

I think he was referrnig to the period occupied by the people responsible for their finds at this dig.

He is referring to period of habitation. They had just said the wooden post carbon dated to late iron age - c. first century, while the initial evidence of habitation goes back to early bronze age, c. 2000 BCE.

That depends on the finds e.g. more than two coins is considered treasure trove.

there is a special episode about a hoard found in a private land; the guy who found it with a metal detector and the land's owner split the money half/half (after it was sold to a museum)

nickrich56

Nothing alarming about either of them. Some of us appreciate how Phil looks no matter how he is dressed.

I wonder what the fee was.

No finds of human occupation, like animal bones or pottery. Before watching TT, I couldn‘t have snswered that question.

They explained it rather thoroughly...please never watch another episode, you’re too stupid.

A Mel: They all left their names and geneologies scaped with a metal stylus on thin shavings of willow bark.

@@loditx7706 Or, to be a tad more sensible, why wouldn't the people who built the henge live near it?

The copper age was just before and I believe didn't last long, because once someone figured out how to make the much stronger and more useful bronze, they didn't look back, unless they had no choice by not having access to tin.

Me too. His „ everything hasto be done in a certain way“ ceremonial style is rather found in Asian societies, not around here. Maybe the henge was used for livestock throughout the year, and as a calender two days ...

A. Wrong video. B. Geological!

Dear Zari acus,.....Sadly, in the closing years of the 20th Century the U.K. abandoned their centuries long use of what is called Imperial Weights and Measures ie. Miles, pounds, gallons etc. to please their new European masters. I think, ironically, that the good old U.S. of A. is the last bastion of the Old British weights and measures system.

PS Dear Zyri, please don't continue to make the usual error of thinking that the term English and England are interchangeable with Briton or United Kingdom They are most certainly not. There are Scots in this video and English and perchance Welsh and Irish they are collectively Brits.,Britons or British.

Zyri acus: Perhaps, but for whatever reason, it's irritating for nonmetric people to dredge old knowledge and make guestimates.

Or they simply move with the time. The metric system makes more sense.

In every other language but English, the term England stands for the UK, so chill out.

Dixon was disgustingly condescending and I’m glad Tony jumped on it right quick as well as equally glad that Carenza didn’t miss a beat as she swept it aside by point blank referring back to archaeology with her clarification of “as far as structure”.

craig jack: With a place like Britain which has so much available archeology I think all one can do is make an assumption and then work to either prove or disprove it. If one proves it; Hooray! Let's get out of the wind and have some grog. (Whatever the hell grog is.) If one disproves it, it's back to the site and more digging so one can make another assumption. As you do, if one is archeologist.
