    Watching this old episode right after watching the two new digs, I miss the clarity and continuity of the presentation. I prefer the little things, like highlighting where the change in color in a ditch shows up. And I really enjoy the recreations of what life was like in the time the site was in use. I hope future digs include some of these things, as it transforms the program from a dry (and somewhat confusing) documentary into informative entertainment.

    I've come to appreciate many episodes of Time Team but, I must say, this episode was truly impressive. The swordsmiths of that time period were indeed masters of their craft. It's been a long time since my training, but if I recall correctly, it takes about 200 pounds of force - or about 900 Newtons - to perforate that area of the skull. This was indeed an interesting episode and I thank you for posting. Be safe folks 🙏

I was that one kid instead of cartoons and the usual spongebob episode I would love watching documentarys and those kind of shows like this or the best ones which I got my friends at the time 10-11 years hooked to watching was WW2 and Vietnam war documentarys lol. Also I will state my graduating year was 2012 so I also seen all the bullshit end of the world stuff 2012 came and went hahahah....but I swear I've learned more out of high school on KZread from reputable channels it's crazy. If you knew the right ones you could home school a child off of guided KZread videos and adding yourself in as a parent there to help guide and answer questions which means you also need to be competent. But I'm sure someone will have a very different look, most likely no one will read, or they wont read and just leave a random comment. Reply if you want to converse more on any of these topics or any one of your choosing (enter your momma discussion) just so you know it's up for debate hahah. Btw she's dead.

    If it’s just buildings yeah, depending on region and type of settlement you can only hope to find shadows of walls or post holes, or limitation lines of buildings on different soil, rubbish pits and burn pit reactions on EM if it wasn’t destroyed by farming or land development. Even if markings can be found on topographic or aerial surveys, they could be all just vestiges, there also the chance that antiquarians disturbed and refilled ditches in haphazardly, destroying any dating evidence (or when people landscape their gardens in such ways that puzzle archeologists years later, like finding ww2 barbed wire underneath seemingly medieval still-standing walls and such)…
