everyone on the show has a great unique personality to bring to the party, which is why i have been binging this show for a couple of months now. i love stewarts work rate, enthusiasm and his intelligence in working out where things may lay or how things may or usually did, look a thousand or more years ago. smart bloke. very important to the team .

I love England and TIME TEAM is very interesting and fun show. I love the different characters on TIME TEAM as well. Francis is great . He enjoys talking about the spiritual aspects of the digs. that gives you a nice comprehensive idea of how the people lived. Thank you.

What fun...Francis, at the end, dashing around sounding just like Tony when he closes the episode with the synopsis of the finds! And then, to find the chefs all gathered in the 'round house', CUTE!!!

I don't think Shoreline Detectives or the Bone Detectives would have gotten off the ground without Time Team and a principal reason for TT's success was the good-natured ribbing among the participants. They are basically witty along with being intelligent, knowledge, and dedicated. They also benefited from the "first days" enthusiasm they have for their short-lived (and nonetheless valuable) exploratory investigations. Compare them to the weary chief archaeologists, after months overseeing their digs, being interviewed by the lovely Alice Roberts, engaging and qualified as she is.

I love these folks. After binge watching a bunch of these, you really get a sense of their personalities and they seem like the kind of people you'd love to hang out with.

You also can learn what archaology aims to do, which is to reconstruct the culture of the past, from material remains and soil features. It is WONDERFUL to find fascinating and unique artifacts but much is learnt just from the grunt work of mapping out bldgs and remains of ordinary activity. Native Americans also used boiling stones - often fire-cracked rocks are all you find. They first put stones on the bottom of birchbark (etc) pots so they could drop boiling stones in.

Enjoyed the episode, but must take to task Dr Francis Pryor's comment on the tracks. He said "It's a matter of prestige, the farmer would purchase a Rolls Royce befor the tractor". There is no-way, as a farmer myself, it would be the Tractor first

Stewart is an archaeological gem!

Some people misunderstand Francis Pryor, he did change his mind when the evidence for a purely iron age site was presented. His observations may seem strange to some, but he has a huge wealth of experience investing bronze age sites and is right far more often then wrong.

"Hello! Greetings! D'ya want some eel stew?" Best. Welcome. EVER.

Well, I'm an actual archaeologist (BA, MA, PhD) and Francis was seeing what he wanted to see in this instance. There were no track marks there. Yes, other sites have them - my husband excavated some in Yorkshire in the 1990s - but this site did not have them. Francis can be wrong; just because he says stuff with enthusiasm doesn't mean he's right or wrong, just that he's got conviction. His "RITUAL!" explanation for stuff he doesn't understand is truly annoying and does my profession no good, but that's another issue.

I agree that the "trackway" was hard to swallow bu tthe rest of it was just great.

Not so sure about the personal grooming being because people back then wanted to “look nice” as much as it was probably to make life easier/more comfortable. Having a mustache that’s grown out so much it hangs over your mouth giving you the feeling of eating hair at every meal isn’t something I’d expect anyone to deal with if they have the means to stop it. Same with cleaning out their ears. Having so much wax buildup that it inebriates your hearing probably isn’t good for people who hunt for food along with having to stay alert for attacks from outsiders.

Mick: "want some eel stew?"😂😅😊

So many "arm chair archaeologists" here going on about Francis's "cart tracks". But were any of you there at the dig looking at the actual "tracks"? No, you're looking at a processed, edited and probably digitally compressed video rendering of the event. The resolution is barely good enough to clearly see some of the subtle color differences in the soil they were pointing out. I have done a 'little' archaeological digging and a lot of animal tracking and regularly see subtle traces in/on the ground that I can't get clear photographs of and have to show/explain to companions up close because they can't see them otherwise. Maybe there are/aren't "cart tracks", but none of us viewers have any valid basis by which to criticize a professional of Francis's standing on this point.

I was really sympathizing with Tony's early frustration on this episode. That Malcolm Atkin (the County Archaeologist) came across as an old fart who was worried that Time Team might actually find something interesting and someone else might be brought in to take his job. If he had said one more word about "maintaining the future integrity of the site" (basically nibbling around the edges where you're less likely to find something definitive), I would have seriously needed to bang my head on the computer table. It was so bad that I actually liked the English Heritage guy, who seemed much more sensible. "If you don't understand something how can you preserve it?" - Words of wisdom from Francis, how can anyone criticize him in this episode? Apparently overnight Mr. Atkin's prunes worked their magic, and he seemed like a totally reasonable person on Day Two.

I'm not sure that was his issue. He didn't seem to be the brightest of the bunch and the sort to get rather stuck on a concept even when when everyone else was starting to move on. Like keeping the integrity of a site. It was a phase that the archaeology world went through when archaeologists started to fully appreciate just how far archaeology had come and the difference the developing technology made. Suddenly they could see all those sites dug by early archaeologists and groan over the loss of knowledge, and could not help but wonder what future archaeologists might think of them. Except there's a problem with that thinking. Sure future archaeologists will have better technology, but it is assuming that the site is still there to be dug. That all the things that can happen to a site hasn't happened in the meantime. Which is why archaeologists eventually compromised, and figured that they should learn what they could now with current technology, but leave enough to be dug in the future with better technology when more can be learned from the same site. Malcom Atkins though just seemed to neither understand the original concept, merely seemed to want the integrity preserved without a firm idea of why. I also assume that the difference between day 1 and 2 is because there was a quiet little talk behind the scenes on the evening at day 1 that made him see some sense. He sounded very like Mick in what he was saying, so if I was to guess, I'd say it was Mick's influence at work.

It is his job to be careful and ensure that nothing is destryed by hasty activity The remains arent going anywhere. What do you mean "best"? He is paid to protect archaeological resources. Do you think he gets paid for "finding the best archaology with his buddies"?

This malcolm guy needs to be quiet and stay out of the way. Cant learn much from digging outside the fort as much as u can learn from the inside.

I have a problem with Dr. Pryor's method of explanation. For example, he had to persuade a field archeologist that there were wheel tracks in the dirt (she obviously didn't see them). The good doctor is making assumptions all over the place. I just don't buy most of his explanations.

He's an idiot, just making up what he wants to see. If nobody else can see it, it's there.

Steve Harris He's the type of archaeologist they warn students against. He makes conclusions and then shoves the evidence to fit it. Sometimes, in episodes where he's got it wrong, he'll get upset, annoyed etc when they point it out and you can just see him stew on the evidence not supporting his reality

+Steve Harris He indeed seems to jump to conclusions and then is very hard to persuade from them. Part of that could be the TV editing though.

Can't stop laughing at "Piddle Brook" maybe it's an American thing... is "piddle" not a slang term for "urine" in the UK? in the US that'd be like saying "Pee Brook" or "Piss Brook"

Discovery bought the rights to show the episodes. Settle down.

Francis is seeing things.

Ain't Jacqui a babe!

This prissy guy who is obsessed with disturbing the site is holding the entire project back with his super conservative attitude. They have incredible geophysics yet he wants to dig in the least promising sites. Isn’t the entire point to get the most evidence so that they can properly have it registered as a historical site?
