Time Team S06E07 BeauportPark,.East.Sussex

Down a bridleway within a dense Sussex wood, a Roman bath house stands, with walls head-high, completely forgotten for centuries.
The retired classics teacher who found it asked Time Team to try and find the other structures that must have been part of the iron-smelting works that were established here by the Romano-British navy. But things don't exactly go to plan, complicated by flying balls as diggers try to excavate on the edge of a golf course!

    You can laugh at the elderly gentleman and his dowsing but he really did find the bathhouse that way. I had known him for a number of years by the time of the shoot. And no, I can't explain how he did it either. The tragedy is that after his death a couple of years later the bathhouse was back-filled and forgotten about. Yet it was and remains one of the finest Roman baths ever found in Britain and no-one has seen it since.

    The Roman navy british section was responsible for industrial activities on a massive scale in the Weald of Sussex and Kent: Iron making (went on to the 19th century), tile making, stone quarrying. Roman London's walls alone were made of nearly 100,000 tons of Kentish ragstone shipped down the Medway and up the Thames to London in several thousand shipments. The Weald iron making and casting industry was important enough to be eg the main source of the cannon barrels of Queen Elizabeth's English fleet in the 16th century.

    Who coins the term "Turkic bath"? When the Turks originated in the Great Steppe, the baths of that type were for them the slightest concern. They could find them firstly somewhere in Chorezm, Persia, but most probably in the lands of the Roman Rule, i.e. today´s Syria when they got there in the 10th cent.

    I really don't get why Time Team gets so excited about Roman when they know more about that period than both everything before the romans and the Anglo Saxon period combined. Turns out to be another villa and/or bathhouse that's just like the last one and they all have hypercorse tiles which means the space was heated. tesserae, mosaics, painted wall plaster... yada yada yada. It's boring. The most exciting thing and newly learned thing is there was a Roman Villa or bathhouse at the site but they gleaned that info from what was on the surface because of plowing. It's like finding a swimming pool in a backyard and saying it is a swimming pool and the water inside it is wet.
