- Tony Robinson and the Team meet a Somerset farmer who unexpectedly unveiled a mosaic floor under his pigsties.
There has to be a Roman villa somewhere, so the Time Team begin their investigations.
In an extraordinary three-day dig across two sites they find not just one, but a whole field full of some of the finest mosaics uncovered in recent years.
I wish I lived in the UK... "'Lemme plant some flowers in the backyard! OMG a mass grave" "lemme take care of my pigs...damn, a Roman Mosaic!" lol such a culturally rich place.
Thanks to the person that uploaded all the episodes of this amazing series that I'm watching for the 2nd time, Reijer Zaaijer!
I think this is amongst the best "TV-series" ever made. The whole team was amazing.
Victor, I am sure wherever you live is equally rich in its OWN culture. You just have to dig around a little!!
OMG you should live in Bulgaria - Ive dug up 2 enamel Roman bracelets, a spear tip, one of those scraper things, a Greek bronze penannular broach, a stone neolithic polished axe head either in my garden or in the hill down the road.
The place is absolutely HEAVING with the stuff.
The Americas ARE rich in history - it hasn't been studied near as thoroughly as Europe's has.
You should come to live in my town. If you are building something their is 99% change you have archeology in your garden.
@@harrybruijs2614 nice, mate; where would your town be? cheers!
I'm so glad I'm able to binge on Time Team during being stuck at home due to the pandemic. I love this show.
Doing the same in 2021!
Am enjoying also in January 2022... 😏
@@dalekundtz760 Before this Covid thing is over, there maybe be several new terms, like "re-binging" and "re-re-binging"... All in all, many blessings upon Tony and all the Time Team Crew. I now have my official Time Team trowel and can't wait until the ground un-freezes.
I discovered _Time Team_ during the initial lockdown period, and did the same thing as you did -- kept my mind at work, learning about British geography, history, and culture through the show. I'm in the US, so this series has given me a greater appreciation of how British and US history are intertwined. Besides which, I'm always fascinated to see shots of a town's main drag, and people blithely wandering in and out of buildings which pre-date the first permanent European settlements in North America. Man, the US is freakin' _young!_
Still watching daily in 2024.
This was a wonderful episode. Those mosaics were amazing! How fantastic to be the first people to see them in over 1500 years. Yes, the audio was out of sync but just don't stare at their mouths and its not so bad.
That's what I said 😅
Not to sound too harsh but for those of you complaining about the sound and video sync there is a simple solution. DVD BOXED SET...or use a video downloader and play the copy through VLC Media Player. Either way consider being thankful for the many hours of time a stranger invested for your enjoyment.
+CompetitiveAudio Thank you! I totally feel the same way!
+CompetitiveAudio Bravo! I think this EVERY time they fucking bitch!
+damaged05170 When you consider the amount of time the user took to rip the DVD, then suffer the upload time all on his 'dime' so to speak, I figure a little 'thank you' is not to much to give...
CompetitiveAudio Agreed...this is not a paid service; this content specifically is SO educational that people just need to watch & learn. Manners cost NOTHING. Bitching is free, yeah?
H
Trudy is awesome. I really love the episodes that feature owners of the property who are into the archaeology and history for the right reasons.
stop THE WHINING... so what look away for a second or two. Thank You for taking the extreme amount of time and effort for uploading all of these in the first place.
Much appreciated.
Thank you for all the wonderful Time Team episodes. I am a T.T. junkie, and thanks to you I can have a good old wallow.
The mosaics are gorgeous. What a thrill it must be to be one of the fortunate diggers to undercover them.
Marnie Sweet To be honest, it looks like the archaeology they rail against at moments. "Ooh a mosaic! Expand the trench!". At points, it becomes more like treasure hunting in a way. And you see the archaeologists trying to not do this, but failing each time they see a mosaic. around 15:00 they talk about this. But it remains true.
To be fair, it is a pretty exciting find!
I'm glad that i stumbled across your channel Reijer Zaaijer! I'm thoroughly enjoying this Time Team program. To me, the history of the UK is part of American history as well so it's fascinating to see what transpired long before the English populated North America. Thanks for loading these!
marco mcdowell I have found these to be fascinating for the same reasons. With the genealogical studies different branches of my family have done I hear names and see places that I find familiar from them. So here with Welsh, Scottish, and English ancestors I get to see the context those various ancestors of lifes. That makes them more than just names and dates.
+Celto Loco Actually while some of my forefathers were English, most of my linage is Scottish (Scots Irish) and Welsh with smatterings of Swedish, French Huguenots. Even my "English" ancestors were Normans who actually originated in Norway.
If you want to say that America's history includes her BRITISH colonial history I could agree with you, but recognize that England is only a part of Britain, and only a portion of our colonial history.
+Celto Loco yes it was mostly English that stole the land from the Americans. USA a bad world history , shameful.
It is amazing how little you all know about America's history. New York for instance was a Dutch colony named New Amsterdam; Florida, Texas, New Mexico, and California were claimed and settled by Spain; Louisiana and much of the Mississippi Valley was colonized by the French - perhaps you have heard of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, St. Louis, Des Moines, Cadillac, and Detroit. Oh, and let us not forget Alaska (the Russians) and Hawaii (the Polynesians).
Do you not understand that even at the time of our revolution in the 18th Century much of the population of Pennsylvania was of German origin? So much so that at one point just after the Revolution America considered changing out national language from English to German.
Oh, and if you are looking for what many call the true bastard parentage of America - MONEY - you will find that our monetary system rejected the English model of 240 silver pennies to the Pound in favor of the Spanish Dolar.
Well, enough of a history lesson for you?
+Saint Boudreau That is the history of the world if you look back far enough and not so far for some, and it still continues. People will always fight and kill for land, water, and food. The horrible mess that the Balkans become had its roots back before the Roman empire. There are not a people in the world who have not had bloody hands. The back and forth here because one person appreciated the upload of this series because of a personal interest is just strange.
Wonderful episode. I, too, felt emotion just as the owner of the field did as this masterpiece was being uncovered. Thank you so much for the work you do to post these episodes for all to enjoy.
Sure enjoy these videos; thank you Time Time and the people who share them.
So strange to see neither Mick nor Francis in this one! Fantastic discovery!
Roman episodes are my favorites.
+Chubachus
Mine too.
Any non-Neil Holbrook Roman episodes are mine.
Thank you Trudy! Thank you Time Team!
Thanks for posting.
Solution for sound.
Duplicate the tab.
Mute the video on the tab you're watching and use the other for sound, and off-set it by 4-5 secs.
Im so happy for the comments. For one, its always genuinely awesome to see so many people who love such a great educational show, and also it helps troubleshoot problems you think you may have. It took me 10 minutes of playih with my phone before i realized the sound sync issue wasnt my phone, lol
I thought I was to drunk 😅
what a fantastically stunning villa! i cant imagine the money it must have taken in that period to have these lavish mosaics in so much of the house, at a quality level that is almost never seen. just the amount of different colors in each mosaic speaks mountains. amazing!
Hooray for the Celtic find, along with the Roman! They were happy to find this fine home and talked about the family who probably lived there with fortunes getting better and better for them. I often feel like the Celts are the "red-headed stepchild," quite literally while the Anglo-Saxons are the favorites. Thanks for a great dig and show.
Some of us really like red-headed Celts. That's one of the reasons we love Phil.
Every time I see this episode I'm surprised at how hot Bridget gets at David Neal's suggestion of a grub hut. She's on the verge of tears, it seems. (Spoiler alert: She's absolutely right.)
It does seem like a pretty baseless suggestion, they’re on a limited schedule, and Neil pretty much told her to shut up and sit down, in a condescending tone that strikes me anew each time I watch this episode. I believe this was Bridget’s first season on the show; after this episode I bet she was questioning her choices.
Typical male cronie attitude. Always take the man's opinion over the woman even though this woman was 100 percent correct. Brigid is a very smart woman and men always feel threatened by that.
@deborahparham3783 nah I think it was a d ck move on his part trying to seem more important, he did her wrong I believe.
He tried to cover it In the end but could not😊
@@deborahparham3783 Neal agreed with Bridget through... Did you even pay attention or where you too blinded by your sexism?
@@maxjohnson403 Having been on the receiving end of that behavior on numerous occasions, I think Brigid had every right to be ticked off by it. She isn't the only one who got treated that way on the shows. They did it to Raksha too. Usually it comes from some dimwit who ends up having to eat crow when the woman they tried to lord it over is proven right.
I used to talk out of sync like this. It's somewhat better now, thanks to the medication.
Takes me back to my Johnny Sacko days! : )
😂😂
I love how Trudy found mosaic by scratching around in her field.
You could almost say that it called to her.
I mean, what compelled her to dig. And to dig at that very spot where finds were found near the surface?
Had she dug a few yards or meters in a different direction, perhaps, she might not have found anything and this huge villa might still be undiscovered. Or worse, subject to more damage from the plowing.
Listen without watching the lips move. Use your imagination for blessed sake!! Seeing the scope of mosiacs is well worth it!!
Thank You for Posting this! I never knew this series existed until I found your collection here. What I would give to be in on this dig!!!
The wealth required to build such an enormous villa must have been huge!
Think of a modern mansion on a popular spot today
😊
thank you for uploading these. much appreciated!
This has to be one of the most rewarding Time Team digs. So many digs just bring up a few muddy bits and a lot of conjecture. Great stuff!
I agree!
Miss Mick's colors. He was always easy to spot.
I'm enjoying this series. Perhaps I'm missing it but I wish I could find when they were actually filmed. It's funny how as you go through the series you find people you feel comfortable about and some that you don't particularly. After watching a number of these they seem kind of like family or people you work with closely. It's a good series on an interesting subject.
April or May 2002
Wikipedia is your friend. The video title says series 10, episode 02. On the Wikipedia page “List of Time Team episodes” you’ll find that the original airdate was 12 January 2003, so it must have been filmed in 2002.
Ten years of all this, and finally, *one* site that makes up for all the difficult ones prior. GOt to be the easiest, neatest session I've seen.
The Plough damage hurts my heart.
It is strange to watch it without Mick
I saw this in 85 .i tried to note eachphoto I took ..not of here I had a massive brain fail and couldnt remember where this was,so THANK YOU for posting and stopping my head hurting trying to recall.
Love this show. Thanks for sharing!
Best solution to it being out of sync - open it up in two different windows and play one a second or two later.
Lip sync was so off that Tony might have actually been speaking in Hungerian!!
I'm here Nov 2019 week be for thanksgiving , and my dog is eating a jar of peanut butter at 3:50 pm .
...ah, that's how it got "mad"
And I'm here on Thanksgiving 2020. So... hi!
Fascinating! Absolutely fascinating!
...
At the start, I began to wonder where Mick and Carenza were.
(Mick was unavailable ...)
Then I saw Carenza in the Situation Room. What? Why??
Then ... ohhh, got it!
Thanks for posting! !!!
If the audio sync bugs you, click the three dots and choose playback speed of 1.25 it helps a lot
Deb Carsey thank you
I always wanted to be a roman pottery expert but it all looks the samien to me.....
Boooo
Jessica Adams awww come on not even a chuckle?
HA HA. Good play on words.
If it ain't baroque, don't fix it.
@@Jess-ey5rh Bring back the frog!
I just pretend its filmed in a foreign language and dubbed with English.
I have fond memories of watching Kung Fu movies with my brothers back in the eighties that were poorly dubbed and often out of sync so this doesn't really bother me much. Those old films rocked!
@@billie-jobenway8658 it's not a proper kung-fu movie if it's not badly dubbed and out of sync.
@@craigmccullough7333 Absolutely! My kids were treated to a lot of the older ones and also Iron Monkey 1 and 2. My son is a huge fan like me:)
M y favorite were the old Godzilla movies!
It's fine if you look for godzilla in the background.
Roman mosaics are one the most beautiful things. That and their plastered frescoes.
What an episode! I can deal with the out of sync audio with great finds like that! Wish I could have been there to help!
...when the 'Roman' guy first ordered them mosaics,he held up two fingers,and said...i'll take five please!!...
I love episodes where Tony is sown rooting in the dirt with the arcies
My first impulse is to ask if they removed the mosaic and put it someplace like a museum or a fine home. But I guess the smart thing to do is leave it where it is if it's safe from construction. At best, they'd take pictures of the design. Still, a Roman mosaic reinstalled in the wall of some town hall building would be something to see.
Normal practice would be to leave it in situ. The landowners appear enthusiastic about the dig and so one would hope they reviewed their ploughing options after the show!
@@Wally-H Having grown up in farming country in the mid-western USA, I can see the owners wanting to plow the land for next year's crops, but I dread to think of the damage that they might cause to the uppermost mosaics, the ones that are only 4-6 inches below the surface. Perhaps they will be able to stake out the area and let if go fallow.
I wish we could see what has been found in the last 9 years. Too bad there is no follow-up program with the team returning to this site.
They did go back! Search youtube for Time Team Big Roman Dig!
Outstanding ! Good job...T.T. !
Fabulous . Someone posed the question on Quora what makes the British feel so special. Answer, watch Time Team.
"A piece of mosaic the size of a quarter pound of cheese"
Ancient Roman mosaic floors make nice driveways for the rich. Good for them!
I would assume this became a scheduled site fairly quickly. But what about this farmer's field? I understand the need to protect everything, so would assume he would no longer be able to farm the field. Then what? That's a pretty big piece of land for him to no longer be able to use...
*A Meemur*
There are strict legal limits as to how deep the farmer is allowed to plough the field but, as long as the site is not damaged archæologically, it can be used.
Wow , the audio is trailing so badly with the video it's comical and frustrating.
Tony digging and getting dirty!
This was such an astounding site, does anyone know if they ever came back to it? Or whether other archeological agencies take over?
It always puzzles me that there is so little discussion of mosaicists in Roman times. We’re these local artisans, or were they highly sought after masters of their craft brought in from the Continent? Why isn’t there any explanation of the range of colours and stones or fired and glazed tiles that were used? Such a lost opportunity.
What beautiful mosaic floors! Amazing how they have lasted all these years with the brilliant colors. Keep Tony away. The tiles are loose, but he is still scraping rather than brushing causing the tiles to move out of place. Would be even better if the audio matched the video.
wattle image behind plasta is a 'photo of the thin branches most often split and weaved between upright stakes to form a wall to hold plasta..the wood rots but leaves its unique image.
Time team fan
Love watching the show, just wish the voices matched their lips!
I note the river at the end always by a river.........
I was just wondering, I love this show, but I have to wonder how many real people were screwed out of property?
what? closing down the mosaic floors ? Hope they'll be preserved in some way ! still haven't seen the end though
Time team revisits this site in The Big Roman Dig, which was aired between the last episode of season 12 and the first of season 13 as a Time team special. A different uploader has the episode here on youtube.
+himssendol thanks !!!!!
+moora mcmillan You're welcome!! If you are interested in roman villas dug by time team try watching s05-e04 turkdean villa and s06-e09 turkdean revisited. It's also a big honking huge roman villa in an empty field. My favourite was the roman water pipes they found that still worked.
will do ! absolutely! thank you!
Where is Mick and Raksha? And what's wrong with Phil's eye?
Mick doesn't appear in many Roman digs in later episodes, he openly stated; "I can't stand anything Roman." As for Raksha, I don't think she was part of Time Team in season 10? Phil's eye? Somebody probably punched him, lol.
New to time team
Being this was 2013, does anyone know if more digs continued here, and what else was unearthed? Was that mosiac discovered at the end of day 3 ever fully dug?
It we covered over again and left as it was apart from one piece of the mosaic that is embedded in the floor of the local church
Revisited in 2006 ua-cam.com/video/F9kUAJCsJ-A/v-deo.html
Interesting and informative as always. Shame the audio is so far out of sync.
Video and audio are severely out of sync. Several of the videos in several of the playlists are having the same issue.
I really enjoy watching Time Team. But, this episode the sound is not in time with the video. Is that a "user" issue? I'm still watching it!!
Audio on this is one or two seconds off.. but its a superb episode
Any updates on the archaeology of this villa since this program was filmed?
Obviously I'm still about 10 years old... I giggled at 39:48.
One problem these videos look like they were recorded on a toaster other than that brilliant!!!!!!!!!
First appearance of Brigid Gallagher, and her sociable midriff.
Victor the Archeologist?! Cool!
Great stuff, thanks for uploading! Too bad the sound is out of sync.
Audio is so distracting and kinda hard to resync (tried it in VLC). I wish I could just buy all old Time Team eps on a Blue-rau or something.
I'm wondering if the mosaic at the end that was three feet deeper could possibly be the bottom of a sunken bath?
Good thought, I was wondering how this could be so much lower than the rest.
I l9ve how they use their middle finger to point on the map. Lmao.
Is it me or is the audio not synced with the video? Is that to avoid copyright issues?
Anyone think Neil looks scared to death in the chopper at 23 minutes he wont move his head., or am I projecting my fear. :/ (i would not get in a helicopter, or a plane, or even climb a ladder, so it might be me. LOL
+susan webb
Not me , I love flying...wish I had taken flying lessons when I had the chance. Been up in airliners, Cessnas, Piper Cherokee, Piper PA-12 on floats, Stearman biplane and an old Bell 47 heli....the kind you saw on MASH.
Nothing beats flying and seeing the earth by air.
He does look extremely worried - what a contrast to Mick who was leaning so far out that he nearly fell out of the helicopter over the "Turkdean" site, so enthusiastic was he at the ancient landscape and the incredible crop marks he could see ! 😜
37:39 - The first thought I had upon seeing the overlay of Roman Roads, and no road by the westernmost site: You guys were just handed a clue to a lost Roman road. Big or small, surely there must be a road out of that site and headed towards the excavation, or possibly Exeter.
Lord this episode would have been soooo much better with Mick or Francis. I don't care for Neil's style. So shallow and Mick would have had that trench long and another long and another long. One on each side. This test pit stuff consumed so much time that could have been consolidated. I like Guy very much!
Some tensions on this one.
Okay, I do not wish to complain. However, I have noticed that many of your videos have their sound track and video off track. This one is about two seconds off.
Just read a reply-this site was reburied, and Scheduled. It was later redug by TimeTeam, and others. According to the reply.
Why does the audio not match up, in most of these videos? Rather an annoying distraction. Makes it hard to focus & enjoy.
What happens to the mosaics?Are they filled in,how are they protected?
*Donald Brown*
They're reburied as the sheer cost of lifting them _safely_ is astronomical. They're protected by _scheduling_ which means strict legal limits on the depth of ploughing allowed.
So what happened next? Has the villa been further excavated? It is just plain wrong that a site of this importance should be subjected to some arbitrary time limit.
Why is there so often a problem with picture and sound out of synch?
I also hate Neil and his test pits. They started knowing exactly where the thing was and that it's huge. Waste a day discovering what everyone except Neil already knew. Geophysics and Landscape ignored and not enough time or diggers to do the proper overflowing pits and the stupid test pits. Test pits have a purpose just not there
well to be fair, when you have a large area with equally good potential all across, like they did, it does make sense to put test pits in different places. test pits don't just serve a purpose of uncovering places where they're not sure something's there. they were literally spoilt for choice. more test pits give indications quickly of what's going on over a large area and helps them decide where to expand for best effect.
Yeah, this is likely a site that could keep a whole team busy for years, and they only had three days. The test pit strategy helped them figure out where best to put their limited time and resources.
Is that part of the mosaic damaged by plow so much more closer to the surface because of the underfloor heating system? The floors were not all the same level?
Two comments.
1. The annoying jobsworth needs shutting up sharpish and then ignoring.
2. What a total waste of history. The field needs to be purchased for the nation, the whole site should be completely excavated (cf Pompeii, Herculaneum), made safe and preserved, then a large hangar built over it and opened for the public to see as part of our nation's history, with reasonable entrance charges being used to keep the site open and staffed, and any extra revenue made used for investigation of other archaeology around the UK. One looks at what English heritage have done at, say, Conisborough Castle for an example of exactly how best to preserve out heritage and make it both interesting and available to the public.
A great idea but sadly a decade of austerity has devastated the heritage sector. Add the effects from the current pandemic and many heritage organisations are in dire straights right now.
who the hell cares if it's a wee bit out of sync? Rip mick
These series 10 episodes were made long before Mick left the show. He simply wasn't available for this one
So what happened to the site?? Surely this wouldn't go back to the plow. And they wouldn't leave the mosaics exposed. Reburied??
Reburied and scheduled. Later redug by *TT* and even later by other archæologists.
21:27 wow
"...until by the fourth century it covered an area of more than a hundred square metres..." Obviously a stately villa developed to its fullest after the Lilliputian invasion.
He did not mean meters square (m2) but square meters (100m×100m). Confusing, yes, 'cause sometimes they use official mesurement while other times they are descriptive. You get use to it and it becomes one of those little tweaks we love
Neil sounds like Rick from the young ones
And where are the pigs? Is all that huge field a pigsty?
It is so bizarre that two professionals would be lying down on the ground to examine artifacts. Just silly :) :)
