really? you think so? the person clutching th ecup was presented as "a drunk", the possibilitiy that this might have been a significant person who perhaps was a shaman or spiritually important person was not even considered...if he´s holding the cup with the psychedelic substance, my first htought would not be "a drunk". and they smashed one skull with the machine, while i get that there are liminted funds and such things happen, it didn´t feel particularly respectful to me to not even mention that critically.. :/ and then the sexist comment about the tall woman... "she wasn´t pretty"...really? that´s the first thing that comes to mind? So...while i found it interesting to watch, "respectful" was not the word that came to my mind.

It is incredible how shallow the finds are. I used to be a farmer and my boss explained to me why you are always picking rocks and what not is that you have to think about the dirt in a field like concrete. The more it is watered and work the heavy stuff flows to the surface.

Love Phil he can make color changes in the dirt exciting with his enthusiasm (I was devastated when Mick passed away) love this show, I've been watching for years

That's a startling amount of history revealed in only three days!...well done, Time Team!

I love the fact that they included the person who first discovered the area even they themselves could have employed one of their own. Such a nice gesture very wholesome.

You don't understand the scope of archeological wealth in some areas - in places that have been nearly continuously occupied for a few thousand years, you have no choice but to document what you find, lift the precious stuff, and let the user have the land. No one would ever build anything or grow anything in some areas if they were kept preserved because of archeological finds. And that's just archeology - there is still paleontology, which adds another layer of discovery - and complication - to these sites. It doesn't make archeology redundant though. It's still good to know people had found the location just as useful for living as we do a thousand years ago, but a land only remains alive if it's used. UK specifically is one of the best countries when it comes to combining history with modern occupation. I haven't encountered another place where viable historical buildings would be kept occupied, used and actually sought after to this day in such large numbers.

I always wanted to be an archeologist. So exciting.

Anglo-Saxons were not really British though, back then the Celtic folks (Welsh, Cornish and Bretons) were the “real” British. As mentioned in the docu Anglo-Saxons have a Germanic background. Hence they worshipped Germanic gods. This is very apparent in the naming of the weekdays. Tuesday (Tiw’s Day), Wednesday (Woden’s Day, Woden is another name for Odin), Thursday (Thor’s Day), Friday (Freya’s Day). Paganism was sadly basically erased by Christianity. But modern English is still very similar to German, old English is sooo much closer though. Makes it really easy to tell where Anglo-Saxons originated from or were at least heavily influenced by. When French started to mix into it, around 1000 AD, which was because of a Viking ruler who lived in Brittany and took the throne English became a lot closer to how it is today. French words are the now more ‘posh’ English words while the Anglo-Saxon’s English is considered more colloquial and ‘lower class’. Just some fun facts you might enjoy ☺️

My paternal grandmother was descended from Saxons who lived in The Weald of Kent. They even kept their surnames through the centuries. To make clear , The BRITISH people who were there when the Romans invaded, were not Angles, Saxons,Danes or Franks, they were British. The people of The West Country, Cornwall were a different ethnic group and because of the tin mines people from the then known world came to trade, presumably leaving mixed race children,along with artifacts from North Africa (Phonecian glass) and the Middle East, thus proving that to divide people by skin colour, as they do in America, is absolute twaddle. The Angles were tall and blond, thus they fetched high prices in the slave markets of Rome, also giving the lie to anyone asking for reparations from merely two hundred years ago!

@@joseeallyn9950 that’s really good information. I have a question for you. My great-grandmother’s surname was Polkinhorn and it was from a line that goes all the way back to the 12th century. And they lived in Cornwall until 1850s when my 2nd great-grandfather needed to find work when the tin mines were drying up. I think that branch of my family tree (or that family bamboo - lots of kissing cousins in my family ☺️) Had rarely left Cornwall to go into Devonshire. There’s no evidence of anyone having lived in Devonshire. As far back as I can go through DNA, I’m British. I’m English, Welsh, Scottish and everything else is a trace from the Nordic region. The DNA matches up with the physical genealogy. So for my question: Apart from my Cornish ancestors, my ancestors from the Fens and from N Wales and scattered all over from London to the Lochs, does that seem like I’m truly British or what? Do I have no way of knowing whether the Saxons, Danes, Angles, Franks were any of my ancestors?

Doesn't take long to vanish history my friend. Not to mention when dealing with grave sites which are already buried. A few extra centuries and that is all she wrote, gone as gone can be. But given the age of the planet one could theoretically dig in virtually any location and eventually find something. Be it dinosaur bones, Ice Age bones, anything really. The path we walk is one that has been walked by trillions of creatures over a billion years. Give it a try one day and you will see what I mean, I tried it in my own backyard and found massive, and I do mean MASSIVE wolf bones. It is everywhere we walk and most just don't even consider it. My Father used to say that every place we walk has a story to tell and one we will never know. And he was right, every space we walk has history but alas most is forgotten and never to be known.

Like anything in these situations, it's all complete guesswork based on very vague clues. For all we know it wasn't even a woman at all. Archeology is far from being able to actually tell us any factual history aside from "well, maybe this happened, I don't know".

@@darkdiddler1439 DNA analysis can say if the skeletal remains are missing the pelvis, which is distinctly different between males and females. Also there are clues in the musculature attachments, the skull. In many mundane activities, what happened in the past are very similar to what happens today or in recorded history. A grinding stone is similar in shape and wear between the British Isles and Central America.

I’m just gonna keep saying it!! I am obsessed with the Anglo’s,Saxon’s and the Vikings!

Greetings from France ! Your show is very interesting and pleasant to watch, i like the atmosphere. It made me realise how useful metal detectorists can be when declaring potentially interesting finds to archeologists and showing the right spot to scan and "dig". The legislation in france encourages to declare finds but also represses the use of metal detectors "in the aim of finding artefacts that could represent interest for history, arts, archeology" which leads to the paradoxal situation where detectorists can't risk declaring important finds and being sued for clandestine plunder. If well organized and supervised, metal detectorists and archeologist could work together and encourage a better knowledge of our land and history and decrease illegal looting of artefacts.

I like watching the metal detector shows from Germany and France and England and even the mud larking Because I know that they have to report their finds to the government. In the United States so much history gets lost because people don’t have to report anything to the museums or the government.

It's sad that they have to do this cut-and-run architecture. There must be so many things in that field, you would hope there was the money and time for them to stay longer and really get an understanding of the area and pull out all the artifacts they could.

I've always wanted to know the history of my husband's Anglo-Saxons . When he pasted on his death papers stated Anglo-Saxon. I'd love to take my children to visit the country he came from.

Geez I love Time Team. I seriously believe it should return to television screens in some form or another.

I love these digs. The people doing the heavy lifting with both knowledge and muscle power are the best. They draw the watchers in and we want to be involved. And these people who've been dead for so many years...I'm made to feel them watching over shoulders, too. I love these programs! Thank you all for what you do.

Margaret loves to bring up her grandfather's entrenching tool to argue against a warrior. She's done it more than once. Let me tell you something as a person that grew up in a tribal society, with me being Native American. You WILL NOT get away with accolades, privileges and symbols you did not earn. This isn't a modern monarchy where some prince puts on a military uniform blaring in the sun with unearned medals. These were warriors who's right to rule was determined by how many men swore allegiance to them. No one is swearing obedience to Noble McFancypants in a society constantly under threat of war. So yes. He WAS a warrior. Think about the past in the context of the past. Not now.

Reminds me of how often some archaeologists argue against female warriors. "Oh, I know this is a female pelvis, but there's a bunch of military grave goods so it MUST be a man". When DNA proves it's a female then it's, ""Oh, I'm sure it's just representative of her HUSBAND's status." Flip off if you're going to be closed-minded in a field that likes to represent itself as a science.

Did you know that the ancient Armenian language had the word "hundj" which meant "a bunch" "a group". Actually we in Armenia have another multimillennial megalithic monument, consisting of large stones oriented precisely to specific stars and constellations, also East, West, North and South and it called Karahundj which is literally the same as Stonehenge Kar-stone, Hundj-group. It is around 7500years old, so basically having monuments with literally the same name suggests the possibility of relations between ancient Armenians and Celts.

Fascinating how all the intellectual professionals can put this amazing site together for all to see.

Seeing different burials of loved ones/community members really makes my heart warm. They loved these people so much that they buried them with objects they were fond of to take them to the afterlife.

Much can be learned from these early cemeteries, but it is sad when the remains are disturbed. Hope that they were reburied...

the skeleton war is going to be wild when farmers start seeing them running across their fields

My grandfather grew up in early 1900 Indiana USA on a 80 acre farm. He plowed with a horse on foot and often found Indian artifacts from arrow heads to stone ax heads and deer skinners.

This is fantastic; *may* I say I feel bad for the farmer; he’s probably in a frenzy about how he’s going to yield his crops.

Here in the US there are loads of locally known about Native Indian sites which are never reported bc for decades the government could come in & forbid you from even walking on your own land. To the point they tore down a few houses to extend dig sites! Now they are more respectful of the living but many still don’t like reporting them. We have a burial mound that’s on the border of our land & the National Forest which the local college worked on for several years. Which was spookily growing up. Especially since the movie Pet Cemetery was popular during that time! We also have a plantation cemetery on the property as well as some remains of where the hone stood. So lots of history on the land I grew up on and still live on today!

Hi there. I am Polish and watch TL since 2007. I just love it and kind of addicted to. Big fan of Phil and Tony . They always put a smile on my face.

England always amazes me. As someone from the middle of the USA, while it is possible to run across something Native American, the land is so big and there were so relatively few Native Americans, that the chances of it are incredibly small. A person could randomly go into fields every day their entire life, and dig holes, and never come across anything related to humans. Not so in England, where any random field might hold the graves of Anglo-Saxon peoples, for instance.

It would be nice to have an equivalent show focusing on ancient Americans. I think we don't because white modern Americans feel unconnected to them. The politics surrounding respect vs grave exploitation would be more complicated. I was also looking at how the survival of archeology is effected by differences in soil Ph. In the UK, much of the soil seems to be acidic, which dissolves bones but is more likely to preserve soft items than alkaline soil. Soil in the western US tends to be highly alkaline, which preserves bones well but not soft items.
