Is There A Lost Norman Castle Beneath This Hill? | Time Team | Timeline

Tony and the team are invited by a family of Somerset farmers to answer a question that's been puzzling them for generations: was there ever actually a castle on top of the hill they call Castle Hill? Records show there was a Norman castle in the area, but they are not clear about exactly where and there are several likely locations. Finally the pieces of the jigsaw do join up, but only in a very unexpected way.

(I'm relatively new to the series and have seen only 20 or so episodes.) I'm a lazy little pirate wench, so here is his bio from Wikipedia: _Born in Oxford on 25 January 1950 and brought up in Wexcombe, Wiltshire, Phil Harding was educated at Marlborough Royal Free Grammar School in Marlborough. As a young boy, Harding became fascinated with the Stone Age. He learned flint-knapping from his Uncle Fred, and in only a few months became a skilled knapper, crafting many different hunting tools from pieces of flint. He made his first archaeological finds digging up his parents' garden, much to the annoyance of his mother Elsie. In 1966, while still at school, he attended a training excavation by Bristol University Extra Mural Department in Fyfield and West Overton. Since then he has dug every year, though at first his archaeological activities had to be fitted into holidays and any spare time._

    If the walls were intentonaly taken apart in 13th century, those stones should be found in nearby structures of the same period ( too heavy to take them far) otherwise where did the huge stones go? It is more likely that little by little people broke off parts of stones of the abandoned structure, stones small enough to be carried away over the years. It was a common practice to reuse stones.

    I'm not a fan of Mary Ann. Her elitist attitude towards history is too judgemental. Everyone else approaches history with curiosity and an open mind.

    There are two things I get hung up on: The certainty with which they date things like unclean, undated, unmarked pottery fragments with no surrounded objects to compare, and the "Geo Phys". Occasionally there might be a definite line, or right angle, or some other clear feature. But most of the time it's just a bunch of noise. See this irregular blob here? That's a pillar...but totally different from the irregular blobs that are everywhere else.

    @@kev3d That's why they dig. And believe it or not, you can date pottery very well by just looking at it. There are fashions in forms that are well documented. Also the technology of making them evolved and is well known enough to date to a generation's accuracy. Every dig stands on the shoulders of the knowledge of previous digs. That is why archeologists also have to read a lot to keep updated on the latest knowledge of other digs elsewhere to be able to interpret their own work better. And that is also why often it is decided not to dig at all, because they think with the present knowledge destroying the evidence would not be worth it.

    Take into account the collective years of experience and education assembled in this group. People tend to follow patterns throughout different periods of history and if ditch rubble can pinpoint a date, and if the site contains features akin to other sites of the same era, I would call it an educated interpretation rather than guess work.
