Time Team S16-E01 Beacon of the Fens: Warboys, The Fens

Set in the flat, windswept expanse of the Fens, this little mound of earth known as Chapel Hill has intrigued archaeologists for years. The landowners have found ornately carved stone blocks around the hill, suggesting a religious building may once have stood on it - but they've also found beautiful flint axes that are at least 4000 years old.

    This show had a huge impact on British archaeology over the years. When it first began a lot of the other experts and archaeologists around Britain threw a fit, saying this was just irresponsible and u seless and set a bad example with people, encouraging them to dig into things they should leave to the experts, etc. After the first few seasons most of them came to see the show as beneficial, not only academically, as they were able to identify, examine, and publish their findings on a great many sites, but also in catching the interest and fostering support and understanding of archaeology to the masses. After the recession around 2008 archaeology funding took a hit but the show was well funded and they were able to do sites requested by other archaeologists and even English Heritage. Mick had really wanted to bring archaeology to the people and this show certainly accomplished that. Tony was even knighted for his service. It's a bonus that so many people like me here in the US get to watch and learn so much from it too.

    May I suggest that before casting stones in glass houses concerning people on the show, check out there heritage and you may just find that those being attacked have much better academic qualifications and backgrounds and that their investigative experiences than those of the attacker. Example, to those going after Francis Pryor, I ask have you the same academic record he has, have you extensive archaeological experiences, and how many publications do you have, and, finally, are you an MBE or hold an FSA? If you can truthfully answer YES, then that is good. If the answer is NO, then wait until you do before castigating another person.

    +Bottomlands The flaw in your argument is it is an MP's job to represent the views of their consistency, they don't have any special training to be an MP; you can't get a PhD in being an MP. Your argument is a false analogy, and then you have to bring 'political correctness' into something where it does not belong. Personally I feel political correctness has gone too far in many respects too, and I'm as far left as you can possibly get (also can't stand SJW types, same as most leftists). But these days I see so many people using anti-PC as a crutch for their ideologies. But how does political correctness apply to judging someone's credibility when it comes to talking about a certain topic? Now of course I think that anyone should be able to question anyone, even if they have a level of education you don't. Personally I know 80% of what I know just because I enjoy learning on my own and have access to the miracle of the internet. But in those cases the burden is on you (or me) to provide a well thought out argument to support your view instead of just saying "he's wrong because [insert theory here] is how it happened". Because I need to know that you (or the person making the argument) knows enough background to make a legit assertions. Whereas I know that someone with a degree knows enough about the subject because they studied it. Doesn't mean you haven't, but if you don't have a degree you've got to show me you know what you're talking about some other way, and just saying "because I researched it" isn't good enough. Degrees aren't some magical thing that makes people smarter than everyone else, it is just a time saving measure so people don't have to prove themselves every time they have an idea.

    Thank you, Donna. While I am not an archeologist, my background is as a Clinical Psychologist, I have an older sister who used to dig at the Mithras Temple in London. She used to be given small odds and ends for her work because nobody received payment. It is also obvious that the person offering criticism to my comment has no academic background or is unable to decipher the truth/reality from the falseness of his/her own arguments especially when using abbreviations that nobody else knows or uses and brings in "political" statements that are irrelevant to this programme.

    Watdermatter and Donna Perez, I second that here, here. Francis has a different way of communicating to Phil and as we know everyone loves Phil. (Including me) But Phil does exactly the same thing as Francis. If he is determined that the site should contain a certain era or building or relic he goes all out to find it; sometimes he loses and has to concede his error. Francis got really excited by the superb pre-historic stone axes found on site. (you have to admit that black flint axe is beautiful) He desperately tried to put it in context with the site and was very disappointed and frustrated in his attempts. I can just see him sitting alone after the dig and dreaming of those wonderful artifacts and wishing he could still be there digging up the whole bloody field to find the source of the finds. When Phil gets upset or disappointed he wears his feelings on his face; Francis however voices his feelings and then you get stupid trolls judging him. I wish him all the best and I hope he still managed to track down the source of the axes.

    I understand the americans complaint about this vs cuurent reakity tv, but the reality is that in the u.s. the archeology is thin on the ground. In my home state of kansas, there are multicultural sites dating back to pre clovis times, there is only documentary history from around 1820. And even when you have a midern to archaic to pre ceramic site, there simply isnt the variety... a big deal here is a stone artifact coming from Yellowstone or Dakota. The us has potential sites for a time team type show... but it would be very expensive, would require travelling the entire country, and wouldnt be doable in the three day format, probably requiring two weeks for the production crew plus followup... very expensive. And the result isnt ditches and roman walls, its postholes, hearths, and stone tools, all without the documents they usually go after for sites in the 1st to 16th century. Its just harder. Still, almost every state does a summer training dig, perhaps you could send a camera crew with each, and bounce your host around amoungst them. Someone would have to make a big investment.

Ive field walked the flint hills for decades. Theyre called the flint hils for a reason, figure it out. And in all that time my buddies and i found one, (1) site where a core was worked and it had been previously published. When we put new sewer lines in the back yard, about 40 sq meters was wxcavated to 30 feet. Nothing in it but dirt except for a bottle cap and four nails in the top foot.

    @@Jigger2361 It's more about who departed than who arrived. Helen Geake, Stewart Ainsworth and Victor Ambrus all left and weren't replaced. Their roles were crucial to the team and losing them was a disaster. They also lost their production crew and were assigned a new one not familiar with the special requirements, according to Francis Pryor that was one of the biggest problems they struggled with during the last series. I do agree that Mary-Ann Ochota was misplaced in the role as presenter though. The presenter shouldn't be an archaelogist for a start, he or she needs to be the audience's voice in the programme, asking all those layman questions about things an archaelogist would take for granted. That's exatly what Tony Robinson was so good at. I think what they should have done was give her a combined anthropologist/archeologist researcher role somewhat like the historian/archeologist Carenza Lewis filled in some of the earliest episodes. In that role she could have been a really valuable asset to the team.

If you look back into American History, when most of the English went West for the first time, they found wood cabins and land cleared ahead of then by years. Finnish colonist who came in the early 1600s spread through the continent quickly, as they wernt inhibited by weather due to their homelands. I find it funny too, when historians talk about the cold winters in Europe, which I'm sure were cold to the people living there at the time. They didn't know how cold America was, I don't blame them. We can say it's funny now, cuz we obviously know the difference now, but people still make hyperbole. I remember Time Team, coming to my home state of Maryland in season 3 or 4 I belive, to help excavate St.Mary City, the first English Capitol City on the New World. All i can remember about the episode were the Englishmen complaining about the humidity, esp Phil. It's called a "Chesapeake Summer" and at times it can be worse than Florida here. It helped us beat the British in War of 1812 as well....( We had a large collections of letter, artifact, etc..my highscool sat on the battlefield) But I can vividly remember reading journals from the men in the British army, swearing at the weather here in Maryland. It's just so interesting to know the little things do matter in the grad scheme of things.

The plethora of reality crap that passes for programming is sad. It’s no wonder our children’s values are so skewed. A quality show here consists of vapid individuals who’ve had sex tapes or other equally squalid information leaked. Really? It’s embarrassing and depressing.

    Donna Perez There's no doubt GW is real. The only myth involved is that it is caused by humans. It's a perfectly natural upward swing in the naturally occurring temperature variations that have been cycling up and down since time began; hence, the ice age(s) and the subsequent flood(s). People keep falling for it, though. Some people will believe anything.
