Could This Field Really Hide A Tiny Ancient Roman Fort? | Time Team | Odyssey
Time Team investigate a remarkable number of archaeological finds that have been appearing in a field in northern England with little explanation as to why. Could they all come from a tiny Roman Fortlet or something else altogether?

Time team helping local pubs since the 90's
This episode teaches you something really important about archeology. Archeology is not about finding stuff, it's about finding answers, even if it is not the answers you thought or wanted.
Never thought I'd see an episode that brought up so little. I'm just glad they're releasing some of these old episodes to KZread. The new episodes are good, but nothing beats the old gang!
The term fortlet is just adorable.

It is isn't it. Sounds like a baby fort that hasn't learned to fortify properly yet 😊

Love when the captions name "Geoff Fizz" 😂
Props to the camera man walking backwards through that field in the opening segment.
Moonlighting in the 'Local Archaeolicical Group' is the wild red-haired Prof Alice Roberts, these older programes do sure have a real strong cast.

No. It’s not the Prof. Just wishful thinking? Have you seen the Prof being interviewed by Richard Herring? V. Interesting - and also talks about Time Team apres-dig fun.
Obviously the first requirement for being an archeologist is optimism. Phil has it in spades, as does Helen.
I love Phil. Such a great attitude.
When I combined the fact that the Time Team were at a pub and near Liverpool/Manchester, I thought, beer, iffy. Then at the end, Phil complained the pub had no real ale. Damn, all that work and no real ale at the local.
A new episode of Timeteam.. Rejoice 🙂

I hate it when I've seen it before but can't turn it off .
I’d love to see the finds close up, clean and in good light. So sad to watch these people for so long in these shows only to miss the majority of the relics
Those stone steps at 18:25! I'd love to see more about those: construction, material source, etc.
Brilliant, a great evening of watching. ❤
I keep thinking of a bunch of little Roman kiddos where they report to their primary classes at 'Fortlet Wee Beastie' ..... Just adorable
Trading post? Information desk? Idk, I'm spitballing. This is at the start. I'm so excited. :D I love this stuff.
They also put pointed wooden and iron barbed sticks in the bottom of the punic ditch. The attackers also didn't like them up on them. When you stepped on it it went straight through your foot. That brought some tears in your eyes.
It would be nice if the date these shows originally aired would be listed in the description.
Always enjoy Francis

In 2000 years time, a team of archaeologists are going to find the network of trenches dug by Time Team in this episode and assume that it was some kind of World War 1 style battle-site... It is going to lead to some wild hypotheses about hitherto unknown military conflicts...
29:47 so far, the only archeology is the snake bracelet that guy is making. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
OK, how about the short fellowship seems quite unnecessarily bossy. Perhaps a napoleon complex? Sane comment, different words. Happy?

FELLOW! NOT FELLOWSHIP!
Those are some fancy-schmancey laptops!!
the local watering hole must have done for 3 days a roaring business? and i am still wondering, that nice snake bracelet,could Helen Gaeke keep it?
If Aurochs were still stampeding around the countryside I think the ditches and stockades were to keep them from destroying villages, more than preventing guerilla tribal warfare, because that's been ruled out at another fort dig. They didn't attack forts.
The farmer's Massey-Fergusson is an antiquity in itself.
I love the show but what an incomplete explanation for how the snake bracelet was made!!! After all, it was cast and not made of beeswax, itself! I suppose the full process must have been shown earlier when so must have missed it?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why didn’t they hook the geophysics stuff to the tractor it was going slow enough.
A fortlet, with a puny(punic) ditch, and little, prehistoric, Barbie-sized axe tools?? All we need, now, are some plastic army men!! 😂
Lidar scan would show more than few trenches.
Was i only one, who saw a squire lines above the map?
Thinking Legionairies were on the move a lot, and took a rest now and then. Maybe they camped out there for the night. And also, maybe the handsome Italian legionaries found some love on the way, and visited the pretty farmers daughters??? ❤

The new opening drums are way way too loud. Tone it the hell down !! it’s so irritating. And then if that wasn’t bad enough you just rudely completely interrupt the program to throw in an advertisement. Just do that in the end or the beginning. Don’t make me come down there !!!

Ads have nothing to do with the original video. That is KZread randomly throwing them into almost everything posted these days.
What happens to all your archeology when you leave a site after only 3 days?
Lol, here's some real breaking news. The Saxophone wasn't invented by a Saxon! It was invented by a Belgian! So the whole time we were calling it a Saxophone we should have been calling it a Belgophone! Lol, life is too short.

Ever notice how everyone of their quest has a dead line of like three days? Me thinks, these have got to be self imposed dead lines?

I've asked this several times and never got an answer,"Why only 3 days"?
@Tawadeb

Because the archeologists all have full time jobs so they take long weekends to make Time Team. After the 3 days some diggers remain to fill in and record what was found
