    This episode is ground zero for this series on at least three levels: 1. First episode based off of their first live dig. It is merely a composite of the best bits of their first live dig. 2. First appearance of Helen Geake, who would go on to become a much beloved and admired member of the time team. 3. First appearance of Paul Blinkhorn. He is quite restrained in this episode, but he quickly went on to become my favorite finds expert. His enthusiasm and sense of humor were PERFECT for this series.

    Too many people use the preposition PER incorrectly, as here. In fact, it means "for each" and is used with units to express a rate such as per lb of apples. Sadly, many people just follow the leader, so to speak, because that is what everybody does. There are many other examples available but ... 'nuf sed.

    Shame about Phil's back and the slipped disk, but glad that he was still there to explain what finds they were getting in the different trenches. [ Have had a few spinal surgeries myself, I can understand the amount of pain he must of been in, and still there to smile though it all. God bless him! Interested in the Human remains as well, the two they found, Loved the floor tiles right outside the church, or actually inside the church at some point, The coins were a great little find as well. This is where I wish Robin Bush was around for the history of this site and what it was...and Victor's drawings were are always a very import part of any episode as to show us what a place or location might of looked like back in days past... Awesome..

    46:00 And revealed not what happened. Turned out the skeleton was a woman with a head injury(back of the head) and was gnawed on by the local wildlife(badgers I think they said it was) while still alive and the cut on the top of the skull was an attempted surgery that the woman died during. Much worse than some dude getting his haircut a little too close and died instantly. Poor woman got bopped on the back of the head and while laying unconscious some badgers decided her warm meat was for dinner.. she may have been in and out of consciousness while the badgers were biting her, then to be rescued and die in (trepanation) surgery without anesthesia is a horrendous way to go. Yu would be better off getting the top of your skull removed by axe or sword and instantly check out.

A human skull was found converted in to a chalice which had been stained with blood which after forensic examination was found to be human . And a small silver case of Communion wafers were found near by. Plus nailed to the old door attached to the ruined church was a sheep's heart studded with thorns. Painted on stones and walls were black magic symbols.

    Another excellent episode. I'm starting to think season 6 was the very best. Hooray for Helen Geake! I love that TT gave so much limelight to women archaeologists. Here they showcased Ms. Toksvig (age 41 at the time), Ms. Lewis (37) and Ms. Geake (32). I thought that having Tony continually rehearse what was going on, where, was very thoughtful in that the viewer got a lot of help in following a very busy dig. To my embarrassment, this is the first episode in which I realized Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall was/is a celebrity author and chef. I assumed he was a part of the dig team in Turkdean when he first showed up as a guest. Final point: why are posters so full of invective and foul language when another poster says something you don't like? All the back-and-forth with the fellow from NZ just validated his ridiculous comments. I'm just baffled.

    For the first few years after these were posted these comments were very few and more people chose to educate and converse than to shut down conversation and make it personal. I miss the days where people wrote comments that were just positive and supportive instead of criticism, derision and, worst of all, the people coming in to track down-shirt moments of the female diggers and experts. There is another poster of these shows that gets even more of this crap and it really sucks. I once listed at least a dozen down-shirt comments alone on his site and nearly as many on Bridget's butt. There is actually a group of commentators that support each other in finding these moments and thank each other or compete to find them. Still, the way to respond is not to heap scorn on the person but to engage in conversation to educate and inform if the comment was made in ignorance, or to leave the comment alone....to choose not to feed the beast if it's a troll.

    Yes, I also love Sandy. She gets a lot of flack from a lot of people in these comments sections and when I first saw her in one of the live digs I was a little put off by her abrasive humor but she really grew on me fast. I had never seen the great British baking show or anything else she may have been on so had no previous knowledge of her. It was a little uncomfortable for me to realize that the core of my reaction was down to a simple double standard baked into my psyche. Women in politics, entertainment and comedy roles are often held to a different standard than men. Abrasive, aggressive, or blunt women can make us uncomfortable more often than men who act the same. I'm a 50 year old woman and a feminist and thought I was above it but every now and then reality hits me and I realize I have a way to go still. It's like being non-racist and growing up surrounded by racist people and traditions. You may think you escaped it and have no racist leanings but though time reality hits and you realize you still have niggling little thoughts and prejudices in your subconscious that make you do things like not making eye contact on a street or dismissing all rap music on the whole without really listening to the lyrics of some artists that are eye-opening and true food for thought. Sorry for turning the comment section into an essay but I am disabled and have way too much time on my hands to think about things like this and realize where my thinking goes wrong and thought I'd share.

    back on another program they had a similar setup to how this site was before the silt pushed the beach back, with the sort of causeway and island. The island was apparently holy while the residents lived on the other side of the causeway. wouldn't it be great if they could go down before the Saxon level, since they might find something similar here.

    Carenza asking her replacement about a coin. That would have been awkward if someone walked up and said that to them and showed them a TT episode proving it. Luckily they do get along today just as well as they did in this episode. But I have to say I much prefer Helen over Carenza, she always seemed more friendly and inviting while Carenza was more down to business. Both were great on the show so no complaints there. Now Robin and Francis... Francis can go shove his rituals where the sun don't shine and I think TT would have been better without him. I much preferred Robin, good sense of humor and very good at research and showing the factual evidence while Francis just makes crap up and calls everything ritual.

    So, the church was built roughly 1,000 years ago. According to Stewart, the church was almost surrounded by water at the time. But, King's Lynn is 32 feet above sea level. I wasn't aware that sea levels had changed that much in the last thousand years.

    The UK is still rebounding from the huge ice cap during the last ice age. The east coast of the uk is gradually rising and the west coast sinking. Also the draining of much of the fenland of the east coast means theres a lot more silt build up along that coast.

    King's Lynn as we know it now was built on 'salt workings', this is where banks were raised to enclose a flooded area, the water was then allowed to evaporate so the remaining water left became a salt brine, this in turn was boiled off in large vats leaving the salt and collected. The resultant mounds artificially raised the ground level which in turn was built on at a later date (the modern King's Lynn)

    Another note - someone commented about Carenza's white pants staying white even on Day 3. I have noticed it also and have always assumed she wears white so she can just bleach her trousers after each dig. Sometimes she's muddy but on this dig she is probably more supervisory, therefore less dirty.

    Right. I think all of them are spotlessly clean each morning, though some are rumpled. I also assume that each digger has his/her own style (like Jackie with her purple leggings and skulls!) Once you figure out what you like to wear, wouldn't anyone buy a bunch of the same thing to wear on a dig?

    NO! it was due to the fens and the area being drained by the Dutch engineers during the !700's . the locals were earning a good living from the marshes and rivers to did not want the land drained. So they kept murdering them this gave fenland people the Nick name of Fen land tigers1 Near the site is a place called castle rising where there is a corner which was part of a medieval harbour. the Corner which is by a side road reeks of onion and garlic which is now growing wild from left over imports of Onions and garlic imported from Spain. It was right on the edge of the wash and now is about two to three miles away.

    @@lordeden2732 The Fens had been slowly drained over the centuries since the early Medieval period. It speeds up as the technology improves and the demand for farmland rises in the 1700's. And while there were some who were likely disappointed to see them drained away as they depended on them, there were more who were all too happy for the farmland as the population exploded during the 1700 and 1800's. This demand for more farmland due to increase in population can be seen throughout Europe, and the Fens aren't the only place being drained rapidly at the time. It is also a time of deforestation in many places for the same reason.
