Phil Harding is just the best! He can dig like a madman - is there anyone, anywhere, faster than him? Yet he isn't just digging and ignoring what he pulls out of his trenches. Even with his speed he still manages to locate important finds and does a more-than-credible job of making sense of them. PLUS - he isn't afraid to say when he can't make sense of something. A lot of experts think they'll damage their reputations if they concede that they are stumped by something. Not Phil. He is incredibly pragmatic. Then again, he is great at putting forth ideas to attempt to explain his finds, even outlandish ones, and doesn't seem put out when those ideas are proven wrong. He is truly seeking the truth, whether it supports his ideas or not. He is willing to change his theories based on the facts before him. I have been impressed by his style for years, and every episode he impresses me more. Then to top it all off, he's got a really great sense of humor, loves to kid around with the other Time Team members, and seems to get along with everyone. Perfect for a television show.

@badbiker666

@@trixiecox6433 Phil is always talking about using his finds to date a site. He has explained many times that this is done via a number of methods. Some that come immediately to mind are; radio carbon dating of organic materials; stratigraphy where you find a date for an item like a potshard, that can be identified by an expert, then determine the age of other finds by their relative position within the layers of soil; and dendrochronology, i.e. tree ring dating of wooden materials. I am sure there are others, but you get the idea. What all that means is that he isn't just digging recklessly and tossing away valuable materials which would then be forever lost. No, Phil and all the others place their found material into those plastic trays, which are first displayed to the cameras, then transported to the appropriate laboratory or museum for cataloging and preservation. We are not treated to a lot of the background activity, but if you look behind the speakers in many interview shots, you'll see folks with boards carefully recording the finds in the pits/trenches. Those are people from the laboratory or museum to which the finds will eventually be transported and who take control of the site after Time Team does what they do. Again, many things happen to these sites after the Time Team episode stops filming. The point of all this is that the team is made up of experienced archaeologists who are aware of what needs to be done to make their digs, or at least their portion of the digs, legitimate. We only see the exciting parts on TV or KZread. Sorry to be so long winded, but I felt that the integrity of the Time Team methods needed to be defended against any complaints that they were "sloppy" in their efforts to learn the truth. I don't mean to be critical of your comment, either. I appreciate what you had to say, I just needed to add my piece. Please don't take what I said personally.

A hardhat is a curse-ed pain-in-the-neck until you forget you have it on and bash it into a big ole iron pipe or some such other beast. Great episode, Fun to watch it again.

Amazing that so many people enjoy and listen to these stories about traces from the past. It's like digging a garden with an audience!

Brilliant. I've been fascinated with the Picts for decades, ever since I was a child. It's a shame that we can only romanticise the meanings behind their art, language and culture. When in reality, the fish and the serpent could just be signs of ownership, meaning 'Fish Clan; this cave is ours, keep out'.

Used to play in these caves all the time as a bairn :)

It always amazes me with finds like this which we have to somehow interpret and then I think of the Aborigines in Australia who are able to tell/interpret what many thousand years old paintings mean - and who can, thru tales told by their ancestors, can still talk about a volcanic eruption that happened 12,000 years ago

These caves are very very old and in past they sometimes buried people in such places. Caves used to be sacred places for burials ans sacred ancient teachings and initiations when coming of age and also shamanism and healing. Then they have built on top of them and been used as dwellings and then even later in turn, a huge castle built on top of it. Those in power used to build churches and castles on top of such sacred places as they hold mystique and at times are power places, energy points. This reminds me of Culzean Castle in Scotland where that castle also was built on top of caves. Often we see cathedrals, and castles around Great Britain, and elsewhere, are built on energy points or 'power places' of the ancient people. A lot of castles are unfortunately even built on ancient burial mounds. Think there have been a collapse of the cave/burial mound by the building of the cave. This looks like the way Norse men used to live and bury their dead. The rune they found is a telling image. Many Norse men where persecuted by the church and or Romans pushing up through Europe so they fled further up north, ending up on the isles of England and Scotland. The jewelry really look like Norse jewelry. It is not christian burial it is older. Burial mounds have standing stones inside the mounds, hence the skeletons that were found and exposed by the water eroding it. It really sounds like Norse men living here. Interesting dig. x
