There's nothing quite like Time Team - all of the Team have such infectious enthusiasm, are all so knowledgeable and so great at communicating their ideas and the history, work so incredibly well together (despite any disagreements!), and have such amazing chemistry. It's always a great comfort and joy to watch :) (and as a side note, I always enjoy poor Matt having to do the experimental archaeology side of things. What a good sport!)

I'm American so I never knew about TT til youtube. I love this show. I majored in Anthropology but didn't have the patience for digs, though loved what digs produced. Plus I'm a British history buff. So TT does the work and I benefit from the results. Perfect! Many thanks 😊

Where I live, if when someone is buiding another hypermarket for a big chain, if they find an archaeological site duging the process, people mumble as "such a waste of time digging for old junk and stopping progress".

That's not what I hear !!!

I think somewhere up there Mic is having a laugh and a broad smile (with Victor and Ian) thanks to the "Team" and their impressive efforts with the old and new episodes etc. and the support of their loyal and grateful fans. He like me (and others) I think knew one reason for the "Team's" success was their respect and trust in each other (obtained over the years of the "Team's" experience) even if they disagreed. Only when this is true can you have the trust, fun (and personal shared humour) and loyalty that they obviously had with the show and each other. They all took their tasks very seriously but with the equal consideration of the other members of the "Team" and the purpose of each episode. Like many I have found this show over many years to not only be educational and entertaining but also destressing (from our personal lives) and to have given me energy and optimism (which it continues to do so). Even in their less successful episodes they have derived success though not necessarily that which they expected. Thank you Time Team (seriously). It would give me the greatest pleasure to meet even just one of the "Team" for a dinner, drink or cuppa (my shout) to share with them their and my thoughts on the "Team". Being in Oz (Australia) makes this less likely (if not impossible).

He was actually really cool, friendly and actually stopped to talk to my kids and I, I was stoked because I wouldn’t been devastated if he was a dckhead! Haha. It wasnt a quick hi goodbye, he had photos taken, signed my kids book and I think he was quite surprised and actually anit chuffed that my kids knew so much and could recall their favourite digs, but also from his other series worst jobs In history etc. such a great show. I often wonder how many of todays archeologists and students were inspired by Mick and the team? Cheers from Australia, I hope you all are safe and well. 😊

Author Jack Whyte wrote a series of historical fiction novels called "The Dream of Eagles". They were based on this exact subject. Roman Britain just before and after the withdrawal of Rome/Roman Army from Britain. Excellent, very well researched books! Have read the entire series a few times.

Really like Philippa. Classy, smart, very informative.

Those post holes IN the mosaic floor suggest a final phase of degradation of the villa when the ceiling and walls had gone and a wooden hut, perhaps with a thatched roof, was erected on the stone platform. No pottery relics, because the Anglo-Saxon stuff was so basic it crumbles back into earth.

I can’t understand why they wouldn’t remove the two sections of mosaic, clean ‘em up, and display them in a museum! Leaving them in situ does not guarantee their preservation, rather leaving them to moulder away in the ground. The rose design in particular should be seen by the public. These mosaics are so tasteful, unlike some of the lurid pagan designs of some elite dwellings. I’d like to see them replicated in modern forms, either porcelain or even sheet vinyl. I’d buy them!

As quite often, the roman coin shown does not match up with what we were told. The one shown is an VRBS ROMA / wolf & twins type from the 330s. Coins of Theodosius (the first, most likely) are 50 years later. Very late roman coins have always tended to be rarer as they are often small, so missed, although the number of late silver roman coin hoards being found does suggest a reasonable amount of wealth and coins into the early 5th century.

They painstakingly record it and rebury it in such a manner that future archaeologists can unearth and study it. The safest way to protect it is just cover it back up and make sure nobody is allowed to dig or plow over it haphazardly. But often a local archaeological organization (university, school, civic group) will assume control over a dig and continue it for (in some cases) years.

Rome and other big cities had fast food restaurants occasionally with seating. In fact many people probably got all their meals from them. Basic form a L shaped structure with holes for pots of what ever that were heated to serve food out of. But formal sit down restaurants I'm unfamiliar although no real reason the same cities with the fast food did not have them as you have a large population with coin to spend but not rich enough for their own villa.
