When Time Team Found Incredibly Rare 5000-Year-Old Stone Age Tools | Time Team | Odyssey 

Love Phil!!

And Micks sweaters

Which state?

Now you need to start digging to get to the older stuff. Good luck. It's a pity that the American Indians are not a recognised people in your country. Pity.

​@@mariehillard1742not recognised? They have TREATIES with the US gov.

Olduvai is alot older than 400kya

@@mariehillard1742 -The Bri'ish aren't a recognized people here. The Indigenous Peoples are.

So true. He has been doing it since he was very young

So delighted, his accent left him. Well the exaggerated panto version isn't much in evidence. Can't help but love him.

Wasn't that Cheddar man? Alleged to be African decent? I'm highly suspicious of this story.

​@@Auggies1956 everyone is of African descent if you go back far enough. The cheddar man was shown to have black skin but with blue eyes. A great example of evolution to adapt to lower levels of UV

@@destructorzz7197humans came from the Middle East

​​@@destructorzz7197Not only are we descendants of Africans, but we are actually all related to a group of roughly 4000 individuals that migrated North out of Africa through the Sahara 80,000 years ago. Every human on earth is almost inbred and all are African. Not to mention the cheddar man is only like 10,000 years old.

There has been a lot of genetic change and mutation in 80,000 yrs. I doubt you could call humans generally inbred. That’s a huge misinterpretation.

I heard that recently more aboriginal finds are off the west coast of Australia

The aborigines here in Australia are recent blow-ins in comparison to the people that were making these stone tools.

The oldest and longest continual culture on the planet are "blow ins" , really? Well I won't be telling that to our Elders!

​@@Mimzie-Arizonaactually they are way inland not off the coast.

Oh yes. And seems like a beautiful society and culture❤ The San People have tools and rituals, going back 70,000-100,000 years, and they are still an active culture. They also have the oldest ceremony’s in the world. Love learning about ancient history from around the world.

How exciting!

Prehistoric hand axes weren’t attached to sticks.

So fascinating

I rock hound all over Arizona and have found a couple of the curved flint. I had no idea what it was and tossed it

Me too!

Would be a incredible find since there are so few.

In 40000 year the steel hammer would have been dissolved and only a brown stain would be visible.

What's your point?

@thelostone6981 - Making assessments, not judgements. That is for pseudoscientists like Hancock, who thinks no ancient human being has more than 2 brain cells unless they were born in 'Atlantis'.

They base these times from radio carbon dating which has shown to be very inaccurate. What they say was 100 thousand years ago was probably only 5 or 6 thousand years ago.

Time Team has an official youtube channel, and have recently started making new shows! They even brought Tony back in from the pasture! I too am american, came across Time Team a few years ago and have been hooked since.

​@@hatendiscontent I wish the new TT was as easy to love as the original. Sadly, it doesn’t seem right anymore.

@@hatendiscontent thank you!

@@therockwitch Just not for your type

Mick Aston died in 2013. I believe the guy who did the sketches also passed, but I'm not entirely sure.

Wow that's sad

@@johnkeller6063 A lot fo the problem is that the natives of North America never progressed beyond the Stone Age migratory population, and even then; most of their tools were wood and bone, not even stone. You are more likely to find an obsidian arrowhead than any stone since Flint and Chert aren't common West of the Rockies, and in fact are only really found along the Ohio River.

I went looking for somewhere to source chert or flint to learn knapping.. yah, you really have to TRAVEL to find anything.. it’s actually easier to pay to ship yourself rocks that you’re going to smash than trying to get some yourself if you don’t live nearby in the first place 🤦‍♀️.. I’m in MA, there’s supposed to be some type of chert in NY somewhere, but there’s no guarantee it’s actually good for making anything.. ..as a kid I was absolutely obsessed with the pre settlement history and the native Americans.. I was so disappointed when I found out there’s nothing TO dig up.. it’s why arrowheads were SO special, they’re rare as hens teeth as Phil would say, 😬 especially places like New England that have been so heavily settled and farmed.. It’s just fantasy fulfillment to watch Time Team 😅 between the flint and pottery it’s unreal.. the time they came to the US pretty much summed it up.. there’s nothing here, except the occasional pottery scrap from the 1800’s and later 😂 … it’d be neat to explore in the west where things are occasionally kicking around because it’s arid.. but .. I’d have to go where it’s hot so… not rushing there… lol

​@@tjs114Both flint and chert are found in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming...

In Florida, people literally build on top of African-American cemeteries. No respect whatsoever for the people who were buried there, or for the descendants of those people who still would like to honor their dead loved ones. All over Clearwater Florida, African-American cemeteries are buried under parking lots. Americans have absolutely no respect for what's gone before them.

They did shows on Doggerland.

Amazing history there indeed

YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT OF ARCHAEOLOGY ALSO IN US AND NOT TO MENTION THE DIRECT DECEDENT OF THE STONE AGE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS YEARS AGO ARE STILL ALIVE AND STILL SOMEWHAT PRACTICE SOME WHAT THE SAME CULTURE AS THEIR ANCESTOR....WHICH ARE THE NATIVE AMERICAN! UP TO THE YEAR 1500 AD BEFORE YOU GUYS CAME FROM ENGLAND MUCH OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN STILL LIVE IN THE NEOLITHIC AGE AND STILL USED FLINT TOOLS, STONE AXES AND LIVE IN STONE AGE DWELLINGS AND THEY CAN STILL MAKE IT TODAY. IN OTHER WORDS YOU GUYS DINT EVEN HAVE TO DIG ANYTHING UP BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS STILL ON THE SURFACE. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW ANCIENT BRITISH PEOPLE LIVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS YEARS AGO JUST GO TO THE NEAREST INDIAN RESERVATION OR MUSEUM AND WALLAH..ITS ACTUALLY THE SAME AS HOW THE ANCIENT STONE AGE PEOPLE IN BRITAIN LIVE. THEY USED STONE TOOLS AND WEAR ANIMAL HIDES JUST LIKE THE POWHATAN AND CHEROKEE TRIBES WHEN THE ENGLISH FIRST SET FOOT ON JAMESTOWN.

It's currently being claimed by Africans. Imagine that!

As soon as I saw John and Tony mention his full name, I KNEW it had to be Will's dad. And yep, sure enough! I absolutely adore Will's channel, fascinating.

@chromosundrift - There was an episode where they searched for Mammoth fossils.

There was a lot of animals on all the continents. North America had camels and sloths. It was way back when but they was there.

IKR! I have some friends whose given names rhymes with mine. It can be confusing when we are together😁😉

No there is human habitation 400000 years ago and 4000 years ago, with two glacials in between. There was however also human habitation between those two glacials from 130000 bp to 117000 bp. In fact we should be heading to a new glacial, but because of human interference it could be delayed for a couple of thousands years. Imagine the whining when that happens.

Stones have been the main resource of Human tools since we started walking on two feet. For hundreds of thousands of years, possibly a million years, humans have used, shaped, refined stone tools. Until the Bronze Age, which was only roughly 5,000 years ago.

Yeah, friends don't let friends wear shorts with those legs.

@@perniciouspete4986 🤣

Always cracks me up when Phil trots out in his denim hot pants.

@@obscurazone IKR. 🤣

He is gay

No; his new project will be narrating some new Specials.

He shows up occasionally. Fans insisted on it and they are trying to boost viewers and patreon membership.

@@deborahparham3783 - Nobody asked me.

Yes! I appreciate them all day and every day.

@loosieclocker - Do as you will. I would rather not look at them.

It could be a matter of dialect. According to Online Etymology the word comes to English from French, from Latin, and originally ancient Greek. In modern Greek it is pronounced "pie-righties". As with many things with english. Maybe both are right.

@@mutualbeard Makes sense. I remember as a child that the word 'epitome' baffled me. I saw what the dictionary told me it sounded like, but I couldn't believe it -- cause that's not how we say things in English : )

bronze age even. but title is wrong. at start of the video archeologists says the site is dated to around 400 000 years old

​@@spatrk6634not in the UK

The Stone Age is the stage a particular people are in their technological development, not necessarily a period of time, although it can be referred to as a time period.. Stone Age people were still using stones for tools and weapons because they hadn't discovered how to make those things from metal (copper, bronze, or iron). For example, when the Europeans first reached America, the indigenous natives were still in their Stone Age and many tribes still were over 300 years later.

Because they weren’t using metals yet.

Have you ever had to walk a mile through thick jungle habitation? Not to mention the threats to your life back then human or animal. I would imagine they didn't put their lives at risk anymore then they had to lol

it was to prove a trend to plot further areas of possible habitation. The river proves that prehistoric man lived on rivers flowing in opposite directions to current man and so we can determine where they lived from that.

You realize you’re using 21st century thinking to disprove prehistoric thinking?

So true! The river was a road to the people of the region, but it was also the road that was used by enemies.so in the states I find that long term encampments were about one mile away from the river-road.

@georges3799 - Wrong continent. Homo floresiensis was discovered on the Island of Flores, Indonesia.

@brucewindsor5257 - I thought it was RNA. Anyhow, the two individuals were separated by many 1,000s of years.

Not sapians.

@DCMutE27 - If Neanderthals successfully merged with Sapiens and begat so many of us, you tell me.

London was part of Europe 400000 years ago.

Kangaroos

Lion teeth have been found under the North Sea (what was once Doggerland.)

Pretty simple, really. TT didn’t make *this* channel. This channel belongs to Odyssey, which shows programs of historical interest (they’re part of the HistoryHit network). They have permission or a license that allows them to reshow TT episodes.
