This was my very first Time Team episode (randomly recommended by youtube). I haven't been able to stop since. I am months/dozens and dozens of episodes in. And waiting for the new Time Team seasons. It was just announced! :)

What's cool about archeology is when you are looking for something specific you sometimes find something older and completely different, it's like opening up Christmas presents 🎁 you never know what your going to find!! Archeology is so cool, I would LOVE to work on a dig site!!!

Oh Tony and time team! You are awesome!! I just Love these series. You go Beyond the known history and look into the archaic details which completely transforms current historical knowledge. Thank you 🙏😊😊

Basically, the King didn't build another one to house more treasure. He had so much treasure in the first one that the priests had nowhere to change and so he had to build them a walk in closet.

Watch you folks all the time...great shows. But the guys who dig the trenches never get any credit! So this comment is to compliment them - such perfectly straight holes and to such an even depth! Nice to see such professional work.

Love the show! Can’t stop watching it. However, I never realized - before watching the series - how much guesswork and conjecture go into modern archaeology. I guess I thought there would be a lot more scientific / forensic investigation going on, besides the geo-phys stuff, which is never very accurate. I was very gratified in one episode to see them actually use LiDAR imaging to reveal the original walls of a castle. That was the one exception that I’ve seen on the show so far.

Lidar was only just coming on stream as a Geophysical tool as this series ended. The last eight years have seen a big up tick in its use as systems shrink and portability increases. Go to the channel "time team official" they got a couple new episodes in the works and they interviewed john gator a few months ago. The radar we used to see jimmy drag around is now mounted to a truck for example and capable of five hundred times the resolution we saw on the last time teams eight years ago. Its actually a truly amazing time in the world of Geophysical archaeology.

And as Phil has said, its scientific method in th pursuit of knowledge. We don't make guesses. We make predictions based on twelve years of college education and whatever practical experience after.

I like this show. I just wish they would dig for longer than 3 days. It would be nice to see everything that shows up. I don’t want them to make the show longer. Just fit in more days of digging and their finds into the 48 minutes of the show. I would want them to dig at least a couple of weeks and maybe longer if it was turning up interesting things.

All main characters are professional archaeologists that have dayjobs during the week like teaching on universities or managing their own digs. And a lot of diggers were actually archaeology students that had to go to school during the week so these episodes were filmed over the weekends. And 3 days is normally for exploratory digs. If they found anything, it was marked and another team usually came in right after stopping filming.

How is it possible that you are just getting started and you stop after 3 days ??? You could dig there for weeks and not be done !!

A trench inside would probably be a no no.
