Watching Mick trying not to laugh at Tony’s horrible pun was priceless.

I just love these guys! It is the original team… So sad we lost dear Mick awhile ago… he’s sorely missed. Tony is so young here!!🤣this was and is such a sterling show! Grateful to see these❣️🌟🙏🏻🥰

This has to be one of the very best of Time Team digs! It has everything! Bones , tools, and laughter.

Absolutely love this episode, the fireside scene with everyone around the fire struck a chord with me, the unique personalities of each of these amazing people are a cherished memory of this original team ❤️

I live for this show please please don't stop posting these videos

Is it just me, or did anyone else hear echoes of the original building team - learning as they went, laughing as they worked, and then standing back with other members of the community to admire the fruits of their labor?

Well said Cat woman. These guys joke and jostle about what is, what is not, and what could be, just like children do. But in the end and in my humble opinion, I think they are very sure of what they need to do, or can decide on a razors edge what to revert to doing without hesitation, depending on the moment of the day or in particular on their inherently strong suspicions from their experience with what they have seen and discovered in previous situations. I believe them to be a crack team of geological and artefact centered experts, and genuinely being dedicated people who are at the top of their game and give all they have to resolve their charge at the time of the request. I suppose that's why they are the Time Team!

It's amazing how much teamwork and ingenuity was exhibited by our ancestors in these types of projects 🤔

Loved watching the excitement of discoveries from the early days of Time Team. What a wonderful program.

What a joy to see young "field research student" Jenni Butterworth. In later episodes she would be identified as Doctor Jenni Butterworth ! (38:50 to 39:40)

The composition of the shot in the hardware store was brilliant what with the seed racks as a backdrop for discussion surrounding pollen, plants, species and their origins. That was really well done with having to use a local facility for filming.

I really liked this episode. All that amazing paleobotany and reconstruction, and the marsh environment are so fascinating.

Holy crap they are all so …”young” in this episode. I loved time team it was a great show

‘Go away and poise somewhere else’ that’s classic!! 😂

It's interesting to see the cast 20 years younger than the current episodes.

I'm only at 42:00 minutes in and I think they are making one mistake with the upright posts. I think they probably would use the system that we still use in the swamps in my home are today. you drill a large hole in the post or plank you are going to drive into the ground, then you cut a LONG ironwood pole to put through the hole in the post. Next you have a couple or four guys holding the upright post in place and AT LEAST 4 guys will get up on the ironwood pole and start bouncing up and down. If you can find a large piece of ironwood about 4 inches in diameter it will easily hold 6 guys on it, THAT is a lot of weight to drive a post into the ground and it wont take long!

This is a very difficult reality to understand for 99.999% of people and i don't expect you to understand.

As usual, very enjoyable as well as profound history.

Wow, these iron age people must have really wanted to cross this area to put that much work into making planks, along with Time Teams effort to reconstruct what the bridge might have looked like.

Fantastic episode.

Very thought provoking series. It's been a useful tool within my own pre-columbian N. American research. Comparing humans in prehistoric Britain with those of paleolithic/archaic N. America there's a bottom line easy to see, people are people! Burial mounds to basket making the similarities including techniques are fascinating and question raising. Only real difference it seems is where they lived. Do these similarities indicate a recent common ancestry between them, or is it simply the result of evolution? I think it's a question worth asking.

@stripeytawney822

Жыл бұрын

Way too simple of a question. It need not be convergent evolution, more like practical usage. There are many more differences than where it is. Let me give you example- You hear people say goofy things like "pyramids mean same culture" type crap. Yet if you actually compare say Mayan to Egyptian, they do not share much at all. Maya built rough stone walls and filled them with rubble, then faced the outside. Then they built walls on top of that, filled with rubble and faced the outside.... on up. Then they slathered on plaster on the outside. Egyptian pyramids are blocks stacked or mortared together and faced with limestone or granite. Maya had stairways on the outside and a temple on top. Egyptian had hidden access not used after the burials.

The idea that Mick Aston had was to make archaeology interesting to the average viewer. Three days adds a little suspense; the professional archaeologists had real jobs, that they attended to Monday through Thursday; and there was the little point of financing the television show. So, three days. On some of the sites, the Team is called in to help with an ongoing dig, which continues after they leave. Or the dig continues by local archaeologists.

I've never seen this channel before, and I haven't watch the video yet but I will so I can figure out how the answer to the title could be anything other than "Because that's what a settlement is. A place where humans gather together and live. You would probably expect to find some human remains." So now I'm going to watch and see if there is a more obvious answer to the title.

When you recover human remains, like the bones in this episode, do you have to consult the local police and coroner to certify that they arefrom the distant past and not something more recent?

Why didn't they use smaller diameter hole starters to get the upright into the ground straight and held while they drive the larger support in? Or a three pole tripod with a weight to drive the pole in? Where do tree roots grow in a peet bog? Heavenly days even ancient people would have been able to use a string line or a set of sighting posts!

Improvements in jointing material. When you only have shaped rocks or chiseled timber, it's more structurally sound to overlap the ends of your material. So eventually makes a rounded structure. Introduce cement to joint bricks (Romans) or nails to join timber and all of a sudden you can create right angles and square/rectangle structures that maintain strength.

Smart question, housing and temples in ' the old middle east' were allready rectangled/squared before it was common to the European region . The ' foot' of pyramids is also a square aso ... . Could the devellopment from an organic ( round forms of floorplan) to a more mathematical ( square, rectangle) way of building had anything to do with having better living conditions ( more spare-time), abundance of workers ( slaves ?) or just some sudden rise of brainpower ( advanced tools ?) in the human species ? This shift in building style is also seen in the archeological sites of eastern-Turkiye, as GöbekliTepe, KarahanTepe and so much more ... . Yep , smart question indeed.

Before that their belief was in life itself, divinity was everywhere and in everything. Nature was God.
