Its fun, I do as well. Tennessee, USA *Its a shame that Mainstream Archaeology holds the power over the "History Story", b/c there quite a lot if Archaeology right here in the USA. But the Mainstream's Dogmatic behaviour around the Darwin Theory, meaning the apply a belief to it, like a Religion, and they established a Paradigm/Story and Timeline *(based on a Theory)* which is in opposition to the very "Standards of Science and Research", which forbids such. Further, the DNA and Geology Studies/Research have actually proved them inaccurate. Be that as it may, they ignore so much of the accurate History, like seafaring between Europe and the USA and other facts that place more people here in the era around the Bronze age (they were after tin) and even earlier Archaeology, all of which they ignore and resist because it doesn't fit within their Story. In the next 2 years that will be push aside by serious data that they won't be able to ignore any more. Will be some Exciting Archaeology facts and that will be such fun. 🇺🇸

Absolutely love Time Team. In these times of craziness in the world, this show takes me away from the depressing reality here in the states.

All I know is the complaints I read about the last two years being ruined by the woman and man that were the new main narrators and interviewers during the last two years of the program. These comments were generated mostly by the Brits who had also watched the series on TV. When I finally worked my way through the first 18 years and began seeing season 19 and 20, I had to agree. I tried to watch them, nut found them rather bothersome, too. I've watched the first 18 seasons many times now . I don't watch 19 or 20 at all. So, I'm guessing that lack of public support by the television viewers and decreased ratings would have killed the show. It's the producer Tim who you want to flog. He had full say in everything including all the on site narratives, introductions, discussions between the archaeologists and specialists, etc. Even Tony's introduction of each show was written by Tim. I saw how the show was produced in one of the 1 hour specials. You can also see Tim's involvement in the Time Team Digital videos on KZread -- each of which are only a few minutes long.

I wish the show had identified the diggers and sifters who participated in the archaeology. They identify the main characters both during the show and in the credits, but the rank-and-file workers/enthusiasts are largely anonymous. Occasionally one will make an observation and occasionally they are credited by name. Mostly they perform hard work in all kinds of elements, and are uncredited. Their contributions are much appreciated, except seemingly by the producers.

One of the best Time Team episodes that this US citizen has seen. Much less faffing around making silly jokes about the personalities of the team, which is always a mark of a substantial Time Team episode. I came here from the Rough Tor ep. by The Prehistory Guys, who obviously admired this episode.

I love Time Team! I sit and watch these on KZread all the time - it's a really nice way for me to keep my archaeology knowledge fresh. I really liked this episode in particular, because I've actually been to the Bronze Age houses on Bodmin Moor on a field trip while studying abroad in the UK. It was one of my favorite things I did while there, and it was thrilling to see an actual excavation of the houses!

I went to Bodmin Moor because I had read "Jamaica Inn," and was fascinated with the history. I was thrilled to find the Inn still in existence, but the thing I remember the most was that God-Awful fog. It came over the hood of the car like a white sheet. I couldn't see the road, or a mailbox, a house light, Nothing. We were afraid to just stop and risk someone hitting us, but I was panicking at the thought of winding up in a bog. I was so glad to see the Inn lights finally rise up through the fog. I'm twice as old as when I went on that trip, and still have never seen fog like that again.

I love Time Team, I love the British countryside. It's so cool that they've linked up with Francis Pryor, my Grandma and I really enjoyed his documentaries.

Those prehistorics were a pretty misguided lot. This is far from the only example of both the landscape and the climate being changed forever by their practices. The Fertile Crescent in the Middle East, where agriculture began,also wound up becoming practically treeless and much dryer over the thousands of years since it started through tree cutting for firewood and construction. Little by little most of the wood in houses had to be replaced by masonry solutions. For grand projects, they started importing even in very ancient times huge tree trunks from Lebanon until their forests dwindled as well. To be sure, no one was educated in ecology (or anything else) at the time and the changes were so gradual as to be difficult to discern. There must have been old legends featuring forests that might have seemed somewhat incongruous to the more reflective among later listeners.

It should be noted that deforestation is not inevitable, even before awareness of ecological concerns. France today has much more forest thant at the lowest point reached in Medieval times. The trees are not always the same ones or in the same mix as occurred naturally, but they're there and are now subject to regulations and management. During the shah's time, Iran had a vast program to plant trees in their northern mountain range in the hopes this would influence the climate by inducing more precipitation. Don't know if the concept is valid or if the program got very far. There are other efforts and initiatives in Africa, whereas Brazil seems to want to go the route of full-on disastrous exploitation of the Amazon rain forests. sigh

Besides the farther north you go before you reach the tree line the. more likely you are to find only evergreens anyway and better that than nothing.

Sound, the mysterious roadway or processional way had a definite purpose. Of importance it was constructed to amplify sound. where the dancing of the people or marching, the sound would be amplified made louder, more significant and even melodic.

So true, re sound. There are sound rocks- rather like stone drums- in a very, very ancient prehistoric pre-ice age once-thriving settlement out in the Kalahari which were found by archaeological seekers almost by sheer accident that had been exposed by shifting sands. The sound that those stone drums produce is both delicate & dulcet, yet can be heard perfectly from many, many miles away. The importance of human-made sound throughout our human existence cannot be underestimated.

Very interesting episode. My only comment would be about the rather simple explanation of the wooded past. Wood was essential for heating and cooking. There are many examples around the world where early habitation was abandoned - the reason being that as trees were removed, the distance to gather wood to the habitat became unsupportable. The process might take centuries, but would be a major influence for continued habitation - still, great episode !

Kudos to everyone who makes, or in this case better, made these episodes so successful. I know the show goes on. but i nmz opinion it is now more like a -roadshow-, with people all over the place, people deciding what and where to dig. Tit is sad that manz a great person is digging in heaven now. others have left because their own full day work wanted or demanded it. and in my opinion Tony Robinson was made - SIR - not for nothing. it is still good to see some from the old team, more grzy now, more wrinkles, of course the men only,the ladies are as gorgeous as ever. and that i have still zears to come to watch theses -old -episodes. what actually surprised me though, when watching the new Time Team, it never came up more on the thumbnails. this episodes, as soon as i click o none, all the thumbnails show only -Time team- nothing else...

I often wonder why this well-understood Deforestation of great parts of Britain are not constantly pulled up as a cautionary tale - like that of Easter island. At the very least, why aren’t these areas being reforested?

Because the soil is now heavily acidic and trees wouldnt grow well.

There was a lovely piece in The Guardian (I think last week?) discussing just that... it was called 'Rewilding will make Britain a rainforest nation again'. Very useful!

@@martynnotman3467 Also in places like *Bodmin Moor* there is now too little subsoil to root trees.

I believe that there were red deer on Dartmoor until the Second World War, when they were shot out to meet the need for meat. I think that I am right in saying that there has been no, or no major attempt, to reintroduce them I agree with others, though, these places are places of wonder and mystery; and it is, perhaps, a shame, that something could not be done to encourage deciduous woodland to grow, once again - but perhaps the soil is now too acidic?

Since it has been quite a few years since people have been living on that moor in large numbers, if trees could grow there they would likely already be doing so.

the trees don't grow back because of the sheep. they eat the young shoots and so they cant get established.

Id live there now. seems far enough away from things...lol

Does anyone know what this music is? It starts at 1:35 when Tony is talking about Cornwall. I'm from the U.S. and love Time Team! The difference between U.S. and British archeology is funny!

+brandy mulvaine As far as I can tell this is music that they use all the time in the show. So I'm guessing this is what is referred to as "Original theme music" in the credits, and if so it's written by someone named Paul Greedus.

those two rows of stones would make a good place to funnel water like a canal or a fish pond ? just look at those trenches full of water

I wonder if Phil's battered and bruised tool box contains a pint or two as well as his archeological kit.

It's easier to keep warm on a dig. Robin carried a hip flask😊

''a fucking great hole in the middle of it'' . . . brilliant T.

I'm going to have to do a detailed Google search on moors. I don't know what one really is, but I thought they were boggy and wet. We don't have them here in the US (to my knowledge). Love this series.

@bigwaverider moors in this show's case refers to the land and not the people. Moors in the UK like the Bodmin moor and the Scottish moors are "Chiefly British: an expanse of open rolling infertile land".

Missed Victor's water colors.

A Dutch timeteam fan here, just wondering why Phil has a dutch flag on his green sweater arm. I assume he just bought the sweater that way and has no real significance but still , would be nice to see my favourite time team member has some ties to The Netherlands.

Hi Tubostep, Phil buys his works clothes from army surplus stores of which a few still remain in the UK (there used to be one in almost every big town) and the ex-military unused or time expired clothing comes from all over Europe as well as the UK. You'll see other members of the cast wearing sweaters and shirts from Belgium and Germany in other episodes. Ex army clothes are usually cheap, hard wearing and designed for outdoors use which ticks a box for these people.

+History Fanatic If you are going in Belgium, the Gandensis/south-Zealand should be a very interesiting place to dig. We still need to find more historic evidences about the Menapii there. I'm thinking about the "Maritima" area. I'm afraid that many have been destroyed by dragging the mouth of the Scheldt but on its south side, there shoud certainely have something. In Ireland, the Menapia trading colony was dating from -216, so traces from before may be found there.

He's "native" through and through, and particularly proud of it. It's is frequently joked that he has always fancied himself as a "modern" primitive, with his flint knapping and shaggy looks. In one episode they take a DNA sample to trace his ancestry. They tease him that he's Roman, but in the end it comes back he's mostly Celtic. He then claims all the countryside, and tells the rest of the to get off "his" land. Not that it matters, but my great grandmother was from Boskoop.

He was heavily involved in learning from Dutch shipmakers in one or two episodes. He had been to the Netherlands for those episodes.
