    My top 3: 1. Two amateurs had found a chapel and monastic site on the island of Mull. The police had to come because of 3 teeth. There was the skull of a lost to history saint under a monument thing (I don't know how to spell it - sounded like "locht"). There was a pottery sherds vs. quartz pebbles funny rivalry. It all had to do with St. Columba. And, Mick Aston was having a grand time. 2. They were on a beach on the Outer Hebrides, and storms had revealed very ancient graves in the sand dunes. 3. They were working with soldiers who had both physical and mental health problems and were digging up lots of Anglo-Saxon graves. Honorable mentions: 1. There was a very enthusiastic woman named Penny who wanted to prove things about her house, and she mucked in with the digging and kept Phil on his toes. 2. They were on Fetlar looking for Viking stuff. 3. There were a lot of Anglo-Saxon finds, and they pretended Raksha's funeral.

    It's very hard for me to pick favourites! I started thinking about finds, like the cemetery with all the buckets - I do like a nice grave good. But then if we're talking graves, there's the prehistoric cemetery in the dunes, or the lock of hair from the Isle of Man, or the spelunking adventures of the bone caves. And then, prehistory wise, the mesolithic footprints, the pictish symbols... But on the other hand, I love a bit of industrial archaeology, the viaduct in Wales that took multiple big diggers, or the mint under the housing estate... Maybe my favourite is just the one I've watched most recently...

    1. The one in the Hebrides (Barra?) where the beach was eroding and they found skeletons and a wheel house. 2. Isle of Man. Marvelous! 3. A special, I think, not a regular program, where they were on a mound in the Orkneys and went down deep inside the hole in the top it to a chamber.

    I think they called it "Finds on the Fairway" and yeah, it's one of my top 3 as well. Such an incredible episode -- the chapel, the kist grave w/ hair, and the Ogham script would each have been an amazing episode of their own but all three in three days was just insane (plus the possibility of many many more graves yet to uncover for future excavations!)

    "The Trouble with Temples" is one of my favorites. Normally, I think when everything goes right that would not make for an enjoyable episode, but the way everyone reacts so positively and enthusiastically is quite contagious. Although I wish they included the clip of Tony confronting Phil about the possible "plow damage", that was hilarious.

    I have to say my favorite dig (sort of) Was the Seahenge episode. It touched me very deeply on a number of levels, I was so happy they found a second one and have no intentions of ever excavating it. Number two would be a Welsh castle where one of the assistance found a gold coin. His hand were shaking so much you could hardly see the coin. And the final one was the special they did on the Great Eastern. Finding the slipway, understanding why the launch went so wrong, and finding remains of the Great Eastern was very exciting.

    Love a top 3 list. Mine would have to be: 1. Finds on the Fairways (lock of hair from a ~14c. Celtic woman and ogham script) 2. the temple where they decided to excavate the parking lot (can't recall the episode name) because it was the only large excavated area worth looking at and discovered massive walls 3. Because I'm a sucker for tessellated tile mosaics, the "Mosaics Mosaics Mosaics" episode where they find a few superb examples, as well as hypocaust from a villa. Plus Tony gets to uncover some of the mosaic himself and you can just feel the glee in his voice. There's another episode where they actually create their own mosaic that I love too, but I can't for the life of me recall what it was called.

The 4 day Coventry Cathedral dig- extended a 4th day as the area was being demolished to reveal and in some cases destroy for the renewal projects that were in action 2. The Codnor Castle dig - where they found the gold coin. 3. the barbed wire wrapped ancient sword - where method unveiled the planting of the sword.... But i also have to give mention to the Big Digs at Royal sites, the early industrial revolution digs and the WW2 era dig they did as a special in East London revealing old homes amid what is now a park

    There weren't that many Romans in the first place, probably most who came from Britain, were from the provinces, and were soldiers, traders, slaves etc. What happened to the Romano-British when the Anglo-Saxons is still a matter of argument among historians. Probably varied with the region. In East Anglia, 80% of the village names are Anglo, 20% Danish [Viking], there are a number of places which apparently meant in Old English: the home of the Welsh ie the British, suggesting that some British survived and were living in Enclaves. Other parts eg Cornwall, were hardly effected by the Saxons, but they weren't all that effected by Romans, some British fled to Brittany [hence the name] or Wales. As far as temples go, the Roman Empire was Christianised well before the fall of the Western Roman Empire, so you might expect that pagan temples would have already fallen into disuse and the stone recycled.

    You can question whether he was a "true believer" or merely professing Christian belief for cynical reasons, and it is quite clear that the historical narratives contain a lot of "legendary" elements in relation to his conversion and the supposed "signs" before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, but even pagan accounts like that of Zosimus (and presumably Z's sources) talk about Constantine's Christianity. He was also responsible for convening the First Church Council at Nicaea in 325 - hardly the act of an emperor who was not professing at least some form of Christianity.
