Tony may have promised Carenza a beer, but surely that should have been upgraded when she was the first to find the mosaic floor. :)

I have to say that Carenza is so beautiful... shes the perfect catch! Smart, funny, kind and gentle.... yet knows when to stand up for herself and be stern. She is quite the gem of tt.

Truly one of the best episodes. The joy, friendship, funnies, and personalities really took president over the archeology.

I am so glad those people let you dig in their backyard. It is an utter shame the people coming in behind all that beauty either covered it up or destroyed it I know process has to move forward. Populations exploded and houses have to be built. But when history is buried and forgotten it almost feels sacrilegious.

To be fair, when something is buried under so much soil, its much better preserved than if it were left out in the elements to have god knows what happen to it. There are loads of archaeological pieces that are intentionally left buried. Its known what it is and where it is but the safest long term preservation is often just a load of nice spongey soil. If someone comes along later to investigate they will know exactly where to look and it will be relatively undisturbed.

If you visit the Temple Church in London, you can walk around at the original floor level and see how much dust has built up the current ground level. There is at least one metre in parts. You don't have to cover artifacts to lose them - time, tide and wind will do it for you if you have a few centuries to play with.

Wondering what more has been discovered around those spots during the next 23 years, if any...

I wonder which production expert decided that pressured running of the team between the sites would boost the series? and, what the looks on the faces of those who might be running looked like when that suggestion was made. "OK< Now we run into the shot, and out of the shot, and run through the field for overhead shot! RUN! RUN!'

This is a show I wish I would have know about in my childhood in the 90’s.

Lol, that repair to the mosaic floor looks like a council bodge job.

Whitby looks lovely Alan that church on the hill is beautiful and the headstones are very unique. I'm surprised you didn't mention bram and his Irish background living and growing up in Dublin etc. Many stories are circulating about where he got his ideas to write Dracula. As a young man Bram used to visit the Suicide Graveyard in Dublin and was influenced by these stories when he wrote Dracula. This Suicide Graveyard was located across the Luke Kelly Bridge on Clonliffe Road in Ballybough. His mother Charlotte is buried at Mount Jerome cemetery here in Ireland. I have been to the grave. Its great you got to visit brams ashes and we got to see them. Thanks Alan for all your work

Please help me understand something. In the US, the grassy area around a house is called a yard. There can be a front yard and/or a backyard. A garden is where we grow vegetables or flowers.
