Time Team S11-E02 Whitestaunton,.Somerset

Tony Robinson and the Team descend on the grounds of a superb medieval manor house in Somerset to investigate a supposed Roman Villa lying in a boggy area at the bottom of the garden.
First discovered in 1883, experts are now concerned that maybe it isn't a villa at all... perhaps it isn't even Roman.
Draining and clearing the swamp is hard work. Walls, floors and even mosaics are good clues - but are certainly not everything they seem to be. Only near the end of three days' intensive detective work can the team unravel the truth.

    Another thing that the new owner didn't happen to say was that 1700 years ago the person that lived there was a foreign invader and now he's bought the place as a foreign invader! I think I would have rather had the Romans than the Americans and I am an American.

    HOW YOU KNOW THE PERSON THAT LIVED THERE DURING ROMAN TIMES WAS AN INVADER? IT COULD BE JUST A ROMANIZED LOCAL NATIVE WHICH WERE A LOT OF THEM. MOST LOCAL ELITES CELTIC TRIBES THAT WERE THERE AFTER THE ROMAN CONQUEST ACTUALLY BECAME ROMANIZED AND ADOPTED ROMAN CULTURE AND WAY OF LIFE. NOT TO MENTION A ROMAN WAS NOT AN ETHNICITY BUT A CITIZENSHIP, YOU COULD BE FROM AFRICA, MIDDLE EAST, ASIA OR EUROPE BUT STILL A ROMAN BECAUSE ROME IS A MULTI ETHNIC EMPIRE WERE YOUR ETHNICITY WAS NOT IMPORTANT. MOST ROMAN LEGION THAT WAS SEND TO BRITAIN WAS FROM GAUL, (FRANCE), IBERIA, FRISIAN (NETHERLANDS AND BELGIUM TODAY) , DACIAN (ROMANIA) AND NORTH AFRICAN. AS A MATTER OF FACT THEY FOUND A RECORDS OF A ROMAN LEGIONARY FROM NUMIDIA OR LIBYA THAT LIVE AND MARRIED LOCAL CELTIC WOMEN AND THEN MOVED BACK TO LIBYA AFTER HE RETIRED FROM THE ARMY WITH HIS BRITISH WIFE.THERE WERE ALSO GREEK AND EGYPTIANS IN THE ROMAN ARMY BUT GREEK AND EGYPTIAN WERE HIRED USUALLY AS DOCTORS, ENGINEERS AND SCRIBE BECAUSE THEY WERE THE SMARTEST. SO IT COULD BE ANYONE BUT CERTAINLY NOT ITALIAN, BECAUSE ITALIAN ROMANS HATE THE COLD WEATHER OF BRITAIN. THE ONLY NATIVE OF BRITAIN WERE THE CELTS. BUT EVEN THE CELTS CAME FROM CENTRAL EUROPE AND NOT ORIGINALLY FROM BRITAIN. ALL OTHER PEOPLE THAT CAME AFTER THAT WERE INVADERS INCLUDING ANGLO SAXON, VIKINGS AND NORMAN. IF ROMAN EMPIRE STILL EXIST TODAY SOME NUTCASE WILL CALL THEM A WOKE EMPIRE BECAUSE IT WAS VERY PLURALISTIC AND MULTI ETHNIC. XD

    When I first started watching TT several years ago I thought the same thing. It bothered me enough to look it up. The precise term for a fragment of pottery found on an archaeological site is a "potsherd", frequently shortened to "sherd".

    @@Invictus13666 Not sure if you are being sarcastic (pretty sure but giving benefit of the doubt). In any event, many of us academics are drawn by the teaching aspect rather than self-glorification. Once I have a solution to a problem I really am not that excited about writing it up...BUT my students need to publish to get their career off the ground, so that motivates me . . . If you don't believe that this is common, I guess you know few mathematicians...for many of us, once we have told our peers about our work (seminars etc) we are happy...publish or perish is an anathema to a lot of us...
