The Roman Relics Under The Firing Range | Time Team | Odyssey
Tony and the Team get a unique opportunity to dig at an army firing range at High Ham in Somerset and investigate a series of mosaics first discovered 150 years ago. Everything indicates a Roman villa, though perhaps not on such a grand scale. The inhabitants may have been Romanised Britons, living from the 2nd to the early 5th century. Matt volunteers as a slave for the day. When the cold east wind sets in, Phil and the other diggers temporarily "down tools". They are joined by Martin Brown from the Defence Estates and Roman finds specialist Philippa Walton.

It's impossible it seems to tire of watching and being consumed in wonder & surprise of Time Team. Brings up memories of the Cornflakes ad from 1950's with Tony The Tiger's tune of "Can't get enough of that ..." Time Team, Time Team... Kept me sane & human amidst the 1% Pandemic instituted, planned, war measures, brainwashing, confusing, terrifying citizens globally, alienating & frozen in mindless insanity with Not drop of Transparency, rational based in SCIENCE! Time Team saves me with it's humanity, humour & normal humans with working & informed minds.
Every episode makes me feel like I'm spending time with old friends.
I love Tony Robinson! From Baldrick in Blackadder to all the the countless other programs he’s done. A world treasure. Also I would love to have a few pints with Phil Harding.

Matt is such a good sport, he’s always picked for things like this. Lol
I love Time Team! It's amazing, there's been ten some odd seasons of people digging on the history channel and they've found next to nothing; yet every week the commercials are, "wait til you see what's next!?!" Yet Time Team actually accomplishes something in just 3 days...

Some times I need to clean ice off of freezer floors to prevent slips and falls. Commercial freezers have fans that run while the door is closed to maintain max cold. I will not work in the freezer if the fans fail to shut off. A 10 mile an hour wind at zero degrees F is way to cold to work in. Phil was absolutely right.

35:57 - 36:25 Matt as 'servant' for the geophysics team. Brilliant again!
Isn't it wonderful that when you started watching Time Team and the camera showed the trench you couldn't tell what the heck they were looking at without the highlighting, but NOW after watching the shows,(obsessively for some) you CAN SEE what they're looking for BEFORE they use the hightlight overlay? We're becoming amateur archaeologists!! yea!!
Fascinating one! But poor Matt (my favorite) was a slave! But, what a trooper!
AWESOME ~ AGAIN! Thank You! Always very good. Be Safe out there. Peace & Health
I would love to see this show rebuild a Roman Villa exactly like they did during the time period.. I would not miss a single episode

That day, Tony learned a new skill. Later, Tony would learn there’s thousands & thousands who already know that skill... >_>
19:43 You deserve a villa too, Phil.
Always love watching Phil have fun
Fascinating as always. Cheers from sunny Sicily.
I remember watching this with my grandma years ago, she is gone now. I really appreciate this upload and being able to reminisce about all the times me and nan watched time team and generally talked about history
Thank you.
Well we have this really rather nice Geophys.
Must’ve been really hard to excavate with all those bullets flying around.

I wouldn't mind living in a roman villa for a summer (with a few modern touches like solar panels and wifi) Oh and obviously I would need Matt the slave as well

lol, the MoD just happen to have military-grade GPR. Puts John's kit to shame. :D

GPR is not a specific military type of equipment and John - as a professional geophysicist - most likely had the most modern type available at that time. The details of the underground archaeological structures on the map that his team generated have a much higher definition than the earlier ones on the map generated by the MoD.

@@RobKoelman Say what you will but I've been watching Time Team for at least 15 years, and the MoD's survey was the best-looking one I've seen in the entire series. GPR is also used in military convoys to identify IEDs, so, I'm not at all surprised that the kit was available to them.
Have fun,metal detectorists!
Poor Matt🥲
Interesting episode, but the Matt-as-slave part was a waste of time. He would have much better served in one of the trenches digging.

Matter cannot create itself out of nothing. There must be a creator. Some of science aka paleontology relies BTW on fanciful dates that are subject to semi-frequent change.

No shit. Not like they found Roman artifactes in L.A. The Pics, druids, celts, Romans, saxons, Norse, Normans etc. History is everywhere in England. Baldric is a historian?

No Baldric is the presenter. The other people are scientists in various fields , with regular jobs in the academic world, who came together for a 3 day weekend for these projects every month or so. they really enjoyed it because the show would go on for 20 years.
