It feels odd. They're so polite and respectable to each other in the early episodes.

Wow! What a fantastic TT episode! It checked off all the boxes for me. However, in my opinion the best part of the program came at the very end when Tony was looking at the the clay reconstruction of a leper and he commented that underneath the pustules, caved in nose and other changes to the skull and skin due to leprosy there had once been a living, breathing and feeling human being. Sometimes when I see archeology shows I feel that the archeologists have forgotten that the pile of bones they’ve dug up was once a living human being with hopes, dreams, thoughts and experiences just like the person who dug their bones up. Of course, we can’t know what those were, but just recognizing that fact would and should bring a sense of dignity and respect for the person that once was. I personally would like to see museums, exhibits, etc. to stress this fact much more. Who knows if someday our remains will be dug up on an archeological excavation? I would hope that if those remains belonged to a loved one (I plan to be cremated) that the archeologists, museum curators and visitors to the exhibitions would take the time to wonder about the person who the bones belonged to and what life might’ve been like for them.

I guarantee you if you go next to a main river like the Mississippi or any other major river way in any state you will find remains of some kind and odds are some form of buildings or habitation... also if you are in the south or north east (no higher than maryland) odds are you can find both revolutionary war and civil war artifacts aplenty

This is a superbly made episode of a great series. There's always something a bit disturbing about the excavation of human remains as archaeological evidence: the Dies Irae sequence, and the shots of Phil with a skull, alluding to the Yorick moment in Hamlet without overdoing it, acknowledge the humanity involved. Without being portentous: "Can we go home now?"

When tony just drops the other pottery find when the guy says he’s not sure one of them is medieval! 😂

Interestingly, in Aus. we call your wind pump a "windmill" which turns a crankshaft to convert circular motion to vertical up and down which drives the "push-pull" water pump which is submerged. Coincidently, my father was a well borer and a WW1 army engineer who drilled for water in France in camps behind the front lines, as a water supply for the camps, pumped to the surface by your wind pump, our windmill.

She is so gentle in her demeanor. It's soothing to listen her.

6 seconds at 1G accel is about 177 meters - call it about 580.5 feet. That 180 meters of tape measure should have hit water if the timing quoted was correct. But even another half second would make it about 208 meters deep - about 682.5 feet. Basically... when trying to math things out - such as going from time to distance - precision is important

I really want to know how deep is the well. I estimated it to be around 150m using D =0.5*g*t^2 where I minus half a second for the time she measures as sound takes time to reach them too. But that doesn't tally with the observation they did with the tapes.

How does Time Team ever manage to work when it's not raining on the site? It must seem very strange to them!
