Are there WOLE animals, dead ones obvious, buried or only the bones? i assumed the carcasses, the same as for that mad cow disease, are first incinerated and only the bones are buried. suppose this is not the right place to ask a question like that? and 2001 is now 22 years ago...

Also.. veganism is a killcult.. everything must die for humans to eat a vegan diet.

And with that, the County's archaeologist representative was chopped down to size without being cherry faced. Time Team has some seasoned word sparring combatants/veterans, they are subtle, but apply brute force when the need arises and know when to tag team their opponent. Another one to watch is Stewart, he's the word assassin like a Ninja. Listen, observe, and apply Grasshopper. :o)

    the 3 days come from Mick Aston stating you learn the most about a dig in the first 3 days, and that became the concept for Time Team. It also worked well for TV as they could shoot the whole thing over a weekend, where all their experts had the time to do it. There are a few episodes where Mick says "we all have to go back to work on Monday" when trying to convince the silly owners of some lawn that they won't be digging around forever @@benediktmorak4409 they used a lot of archeology students who got credit for doing actual field work - most the digging crew was volunteers.
