I agree. I think when his time comes, may it be timely and peaceful, he will likely go with trowel in hand and hat on head. Phil Harding is the perfect example of a person who loves digging, has always loved digging, and has found the way to make his digging both a career and vitally important to UK history. I particularly love the episodes where he gets to wax poetic about prehistoric flint tools 💖

This all had to thrill Grace. That guenine energy from the "Team", in their excitement to share each piece with Grace *moves my heart in emotions.* This is why we all so enjoy this show, it is the Passion of each and their desire to share the experiences. Best to each, always. 💫❤💫

These shows are so addictive, and educational. Such an inside window for the layman to see and understand why the field of Archaeology is so fascinating. The unique aspect of this show is that we get to go along with them from the very beginning of a dig and see actual artifacts being dated, then them pulling together the history of the whole site. There has never been nothing like this on TV before.

I don’t know why but this episode of Time Team has me feeling more emotional than usual 🥺😢😭 I really enjoyed seeing the mixed-age results of this dig (and finally, you found a nice spot the Romans did NOT build a villa on!), the experimental archaeology with firing clay and glazes, the presentation of the bone needle to the homeowners at the end with everybody there, and then Tony looking at the fake sunrise....

I Love Phil, he is always happiest when he is digging and it doesn't matter if he finds anything or not, it is the quest of the dig. Mick was so kiddy that there was a Henge that was found, thanks to Stewart and his piecing together photographs and lumps and bumps of the landscape...

It's a bad idea to excavate anywhere near a Septic System. Obviously you could cause mechanical damage to the tank and/or the tile bed. But you will certainly disturb and potentially damage the surround ground that serves a function of the effluent treatment system. Furthermore, that excavator shouldn't be anywhere near the tile bed, let alone on top of it. **Retired - Certified Building Code Official / Chief Building Official & Inspector / Provincial & Municipal By-Law Enforcement Officer / Licensed Architectural and Septic System Designer ... etc etc :)
