Loyal Time Team fan Frances Davies may have led the team to an amazing discovery of a whole Norman village in her field in East Yorkshire, a village lost to the records.
Can I just give a special shoutout for Victor Ambrus. I mean I love each and every member of the team but I feel like Victor is an unsung hero worthy of more accolades. Finding, and explaining what is found, is one thing. But putting those things into a perspective (drawings and sketches) that are easily understandable to the lay person is quite a skill in its own right.
It's impossible not to like these people and to want to spend time with them. I was fortunate enough to work with folks like them, and Tony sometimes remind me of my last boss. Always makes me smile. Lucky me. Lucky Time Team. Lucky us Time Team fans.
I'm an artist and art teacher and I am so stunned and impressed with Victor Ambrus's work. He adds a personal quality to each episode that really brings the archaeology to life.
I love this episode because the crew seems to be truly fond of Francis. Like she is their sweet mother and they desperately want to please her. I’ve never seen them pay landowners much mind before or since.
I say it hat cost her few pounds ☺no more professor Mick Aston he decided this head to after life with plenty grave goods☺ hello from royal hill Tara county Meath Ireland☺
Reijer Zaaijer; I am slowly working my way through your TT channel. I thought it was time to say Thank You for your efforts. I became aware of TT well after it went off the air. I enjoy your work and theirs.
Thanks so much, Reijer, for taking the time to upload these videos. I am an anthropologist in the US, with a background in archaeology, but I had never heard of Time Team until I discovered your channel. I tell people about it all the time. You have done a great deal in educating people about history by sharing these!
***** I myself appreciate Euro-centric archeology as much as anyone but thought I'd point out that a few of these "injun" sites as you refer to them are over 13,000 years old. For example here in Texas: "Thousands of artifacts dating to between 13,200 and 15,500 years ago were uncovered by researchers led by Michael R. Waters of Texas A&M University. They report the discovery in Friday's edition of the journal Science. The find was located 5 feet below materials left by the well-known Clovis culture, which was once thought to have been the first American settlers around 13,000 years ago. It was "like finding the Holy Grail," Waters said in a telephone interview. To find what appears to be a large open-air campsite "is really gratifying. Lucky and gratifying." The trove of 15,528 artifacts, including chipping debris from working stones and 56 tools such as blades, scrapers and choppers, was found in the Buttermilk Creek complex near Austin." Tool making 13,000 to 15,000 years ago...seems like Archeology to me.
I apparently am the only viewer that likes everyone on the team. Thanks for posting these videos, I used to watch them all the time but since moving to the US have mixed my Time Team fix.
watching these on youtube, in any particular order, gives a different bond to the team as opposed to people who got used to a variation of the team over several years. I personally have no idea of the time-line of the team. To me, they just appear as guest stars, rather than someone having been replaced by someone else. It's my belief that the complainers are mostly trashing the newer members for taking the place of their favorites.
Phil is a magnificent throwback to how I pictured archeologists growing up. Looking impeturbable while working in all kinds of weather for hours and then suddenly getting 20 shades of excited over something that could turn out to be....nothing. Broke the mold with him.
@@Wppk765 I read somewhere that little old lady fans made him things. I love the little Mick voodoo dolls with sweater and specs, I think. Saw it twice.
Each time Tony's yells "Phil!" I think of "Phil? Phil Connors?" from Groundhog Day and each time he yells "Francis!" I think of Henry IV. "Anon, anon, sir!" :)
Just imagine what one season's digging would do to your knees - but these pros do it for decades!! They dig in all sorts of weather and field conditions. I am awestruck!
Not just the knees. It does not do your back any favors. Takes some pretty tough people to do that kind of work for years. They work through the pain because they love archaeology.
I just went to google maps comparing at 32.50, and found it. Its pretty cool to see it actually exist, and as it is when ever the pic was taken. The google terrain map is amazing, there are features everwhere it must make the archaeologists crazy over there with things to dig.
I am from Eastern Europe and mud houses are build even today on countryside. They look like regular houses after they are painted. Mud bricks are used. They have menure and straw and they are poored into rectangular shapes and let to dry . So it is obvious that in that area that was the material of choiche
I thank you also and believe that it took you 6-7 or more weeks. The first thing I do is look your post up and open a tab with each location, just for fun.
From yours and other comments I gather that Sir Tony was in this 'Baldrick/Blackadder' film/films/TV series. I am not British, so will somebody please tell me whether I can still see Baldrick?
@@corneliawissing7950 Wikipedia will tell you how many series and episodes were made. If you search here on RU-vid for Black Adder series there are lists of what is available to view.
@@richardphillips6281 Thank you, Sir. I've come to the conclusion that I must have been born stupid. I did all you've just said, found ep. 1, struggled to make out a single word and gave up.
@@corneliawissing7950 I'm sorry to hear that. I only looked briefly myself until I realised I don't find Black Adder funny anymore so I will concentrate on Time Team now.
Holderness was featured in the Sherlock Holmes mystery of 'The Priory School'. The Duke of Holderness' son was abducted. I wonder if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle knew the region when he wrote the story?
That wind reminds me of the Isle of Lewis. Lewis is the gaelic word for wind. The name is program over there. I almost got blown off a cliff but found a bouquet of giant seagull feather in all hues.
Victor gave time team film that extra...without it the program would have not been as popular. Each member eaked with cooperative personalities..rare in a group...but then again they all kinda knew one another by previous associations
Just a quick shout out for some help from across the pond. I've been bingeing on Time Team and this is the first I've heard of a published guide. Are such guides still available? Haven't had luck over here. Help?
Does anybody remember the 'Risen Hill or Ridge' Episode about Railway Navvy's? Is that still on here, I have looked but can't find it. Thanks in hesitation of a find..miss this show.
Interesting to see this area. An ancestor of mine came to Virginia in 1620 as an indentured servant. He was born in Brandesburton, not far from this area.
I have a good time counting comments about the competency of the men on the team vs. the looks or "tone" of the women on the team (who have a far higher class of man than you tube incels to choose from, btw.) I have a dream that one day women will be judged by what they can do.
The handle could be for a lid. Bear with me. Making bread let’s says and wanna flip it or something u have a pan u can put on top flip them over now another pan perfect under again
I wondered that too. I even got my modern skillet, which actually has a thumb dent, and I can't see that it makes any difference. Shame. I would have loved us to be proved right!
I wonder if it's not a case of some one making a thing fit our understanding. Maybe it only seems to be upside down. Maybe it's a jug handle right side up. Or maybe it's something else entirely.
What, no chatter on the Skipsea Ghost? She's been around for quite some time. Everybody's getting jazzy about Phil's fingernails, but no one's mentioned the poor wife of the famous Drogo, who fled back to Flanders because he was the cause of her death.
In Southern CA, the Indians were Hunters and Gatherers. They ground acorns with rocks and boulders; went to the seashore for fish, the inland and mountains for game. The Spanish came in 18th and 19th century. We're not talking Roman times. In Northern California, the Indians had more to sustain them and settlements more advanced. The Spanish went to the South and Japanese and Russians came to the North for Whales mostly. The Russians even have a fort remaining in Northern CA. But we are not speaking of the depth of time found in Great Britain.
I was born and raised in California and she is right. It was a bit of a trek for the southern CA indians from the beach to the games fields of the hills but in the north the hills and forests came right down to the beach. The Russian fort, Fort Bragg, is a big part of the central north coast. There is a couple of ladies in Ft Bragg that sell the best mustard you will ever taste, and yes they ship. :-)
In the Middle Ages they would have buried items that were used for religious purposes when they became unsuitable for use. My theory is the salt they made was used for blessed salt, and so they couldn’t reuse the lead for profane purposes. I don’t buy that someone hid it for finding later and never came back.
www.google.com/maps/@53.9695243,-0.2104629,218m/data=!3m1!1e3 This is the google map of the area. What in the heck is that thing in the field above. It looks like the front of a building or wall with towers at either end. OMG i need therapy.
@@barbmcconnaughey3070 thanks Barb. Should we tell everyone to look at his 33 yr old Mr. Torso shot? Look up Phil Harding Axe Man....stay safe from the zombie apocalypse virus...
I have worked on firing pottery kilns. The colour of the pottery depends largely on how much oxygen reached the pottery during firing. Lots of air=red; lack of air = grey/brown, and sometimes firing in bonfires instead of kilns (like the famous Dorset Black Burnished ware from Roman times) extra smoke and soot makes the pottery black. Basically, chemically reduced iron in the pottery makes it grey, oxidised iron makes it red. If firing in a kiln, you can control the amount of air getting in by how high you build the fire in the kiln mouth(s).This also affects the colour of glaze: lots of air, red / yellow glaze, little air, green glaze. Post medieval pottery (17th century on) often has added elements in the slip to make colours: cobalt for bright blue, manganese for brown or purple and so on.Hope this helps.
Depending on size of trench. Some were to drain the rain away from the roof & away from living quarters and others were to keep animals away or inclosed
Surprise, surprise. All the experts are out in the heavy wind working hard while Tony sits snugly in the car having a tea party for one and portraying the professionals as squabbling children. Typical Tony.
careful what you wish for ... flipping off a person who cut you off and you smartassly answer back blow me ... then you get to work outside in almost gale force winds ... lol kind of self serving karma ;)
Other folks have answered to this remark. Here is one more. If you watch TT alot you'll learn about each of them. Phil plays alot of guitar and uses his nails instead of a pick. You'll see him playing in some episodes. He has a very nice touch. Ciao
@@maeve4686 It's the Shallow Brigade. Don't see past someone's appearance and can't be bothered to read comments or learn about anyone or anything, so they make themselves look like dorks! I wish I had a euro for every time some gonk mentions Phil's nails ot his hat or his shorts. The fact that the guy is not only a master of his trade a Dr with numerous qualifications , but can drive a digger, play guitar, flint knap, founded an organisation to retrain military veterans as archeaologists doesn't matter. He has long nails! (facepalm) I am so glad that I don't know them! They must be the dullest creatures on earth!
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 Thanks for your message. Drives me crazy as well. In the USA we call them snowflakes . Little substance and their ideals melt instantly. Dirty nails? I figured they have deep internal problems from childhood they're not dealing with. Cheers from the Redwoods in California...
@@maeve4686 De Nada! Hi from a Brit in Spain! And I agree, they do seem to have issues. They missed the fact that the person with short nails actually had loads of dirt under there? lol. But that isn't the point, the issue is that they make it one! Neither of these people are cooking my meal or operating on me; they are digging a Trench! Ergo they are going to have dirt around? So if Phil needs long nails for other things like playing guitar who the hell cares. Except 'Snowflakes??
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 Snowflakes. Here, everyone is entitled to be offended. Those who find fault at the most minute of ,well, anything and are so troubled and terrified by anything from a dog barking at noon to someone thinking that keeping a bird in a cage are tantamount to WW3 are snowflakes. I personally am not a snowflake tho someone called me a " bitter old cat lady" after I expressed my opinion that not all women need to be married to find success with their life. LOL...Tho I am a bit of a nutter....
Dear oh dear oh dear. Is there no depths to your shallows? Do you even bother to learn before posting idiotic comments? I will leave it to Joseph to explain.
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 You sound that trade unionist with Paul Eddington in Yes, Minister or PM. Can't remember which. God, anyone who has ever worked for any government/beauracracy would appreciate that Solihull Hospital CS gravy train bit, as least for the Chief Siphoners.
@@eboracum2012 It was in reply to the Oh So Tiresome comment about Phil's nails I wonder if these people apply themselves to the Real issues of the day with such diligence as they do to a bloke's fingernails?.
23:00 Tony- 'He wants to talk to the farmer who used to plough Francis's field' Stuart-"How deep did you plough it" Farmer "about nine inches".I bet you did mate. All in a supposedly educational program. sickening.
雷電 calling a legitimate, contextual query a joke is one thing, calling that joke “sickening” is quite another. What does calling it sickening say about Dorian? He’s the one who saw the joke as sickening after all. 🤷🏻♂️
Dorian Leakey: If you are a linguist or a cryptographer then you might use these dialogue specimens in your next discourse analysis lecture! Otherwise, it's probably not anything, about which you need to get hot under the collar in any way, so why the fuss?...
Yet another one making himself look an idiot. 8-9 inches is recommended for heavy soil. So if this gonk thinks it is some sort of double entendre he is saying more about himself than the people in the show.
Carenza. If you're going to insult her intelligence, ability and hard work in getting thru British professional sexism, spell her name right. Hope you don't have female children.
If you’re speaking of Phil, he’s a classical guitarist, and that’s his picking hand. His other hand has short nails, because that’s his fret hand. If you’re speaking about anyone else, I can’t say, but speaking from personal experience, short nails are harder to clean dirt from than longer nails.
@@agresticumbra Well said. Not only about Phil, but about nails. Short nails seem to harbour filth, whereas longer ones do not. Also if they do you can clean them very easily with a toothpick! Do these parrots never read other comments or learn about the people that they are commentng on?
