Tony's job is to provide a worthy foil so the pedants can give the audience knowledge without sounding pedantic and boring. This works well when he 'antagonizes' them and they can yell at him and display the knowledge necessary to make sense of things. And they're having a great time doing it. There's one episode where they're clearing brush out of a dig site, and Phil informs someone there he can put a large branch anywhere he likes--then realizes what he said, and tries to glare at the other man. (Except that they're both trying not to laugh...)

Hey, folks, I love your channel. Seeing the difficulties and triumphs of actual field archaeology is eye opening. As for what the gentleman on the copter said, his remarks about Roman roads following the lay of the land reiterates what I have heard elsewhere in that the builders would even go up and down fairly steep grades and not resort to such means as cuts or fills. Is this accurate?

Just like our freeways have on and off ramps to get our cheeseburgers it makes sense to me the Roman's might have wanted easy access to to the baths and have more privacy away from all the commotion of the main highway. The road is a detour along the main road and probably closed to foot soldiers and the common rabble.

I've wondered this for many an episode, and this is a prime example: Why don't they keep tents and coverings handy on any dig, so they can continue in relatively dry conditions in the trenches? They've done it occasionally on the show, and it worked pretty well. I can understand avoiding the usage on areas with intense winds, but not just heavy rains.

You have to remember this was a television show with a number of episodes (and therefore related digs) scheduled for months in advance. If the Weather was bad at a site, they couldn’t just hang on for a few extra days because that would affect subsequent filming at other sites. Also, the people involved in the show had other jobs and responsibilities, so they couldn’t take an extra day or two on a site no matter how interesting it was

My Siri suddenly activated at 4:56 when she said “a piece of modern glass”. Anyone has this issue too?

it would have been nice if they had explained why Romans buried the dead along side roads. i had to go look up why and learned they were buried alongside roads outside of cities most likely to prevent diseases spreading form decaying corpses. the dead reflected wealth and poor. if you were poor you were lain into the ground alongside the roadside as in a paupers grave. if you were rich you were buried in the family mausoleum alongside the road. you were either cremated or buried fully in tact. ironically cremation was an costly process associated with the wealthy using expensive and ornate burial vessels.

Tipping down - my experience at the royal crescent as well, lol.

So, after the three days do they just fill in the trenches or are some left open for the public to take a longer look?

Every find is duly noted, where the archeology that is discovered is of significance it is uplifted, the site is plotted out correctly any skeletons found will be removed and sent to the museum for further study and maybe re-interred at a later date in consecrated ground then a full report is written up and recorded, these can be perused at Wessex Archeology about the excavation. As this is a scheduled area digging can only been done with the say so from British Historic Trust, the site is backfilled.

It seems odd to me to say the major road they found going up a steep incline shouldn't be the Fosse Way because the Romans wouldn't build a major road up a steep incline. Maybe it was more important to have a shorter road than a flatter longer one? Either way, somebody apparently built a road going up a hill.
