- Tony Robinson and the Team descend on the grounds of a superb medieval manor house in Somerset to investigate a supposed Roman Villa lying in a boggy area at the bottom of the garden.
First discovered in 1883, experts are now concerned that maybe it isn't a villa at all... perhaps it isn't even Roman.
Draining and clearing the swamp is hard work. Walls, floors and even mosaics are good clues - but are certainly not everything they seem to be. Only near the end of three days' intensive detective work can the team unravel the truth.
Phil gives his in-depth scientific archaeological appraisal of the dig.. "it is absolutely a cracking site, Tony"
Love Phil to bits 😂
On
Phil totally rocks!
After 2 years of watching all the classic Time Team excavations, I just loved to see Phil and Mick test their socks’ boiling point!!
Sweetest, most wonderful Mick Aston! We miss you tremendously!❤️
Please don’t speak for everyone.
Yes that wonderful Mick is so missed!
"I was wrong!" Well done David. Usually the buggers on here try to explain away their mistakes! :)
Takes courage to admit when we are wrong, because obviously it's fear that stops us from admitting it. ^-^
Dr.David Neal is the best there is. Completely professional and charmingly unaffected. My favorite on Time Team.
@@marianneluban3347 Agreed. What I really like about his Time Team appearances is that, despite being the country's leading expert on Roman Villas, he still rolls up his sleeves and gets stuck into the digging. What a champ!
“Freya’s muddy hole will have to wait.” Gee, Tony, I wish you’d rephrased that. Poor kid.
"Dirtiest" statement ever made on Time Team..

I just love this tv show (sry, to say it is show... it is much more!). Should i say i loved...?! I still love! And thank you for uploading it here, so i can enjoy them again! And study so very much!!! Thank you all from Estonia!
I am happy that we have done a lot of good archeology as well... found viking burials in Saaremaa, and some more (ships and etc).
P.S. i actually learn from those tv clips a lot about history of Estonia (cause i was watching and thinking with dates). And i have learned, how should be your approuch to ruins! Those people have done a really good work!!! Thank you!
It is show here.... but it has most true! It is quite lovely. .... and true, cause all of team! Pro's working!
🇺🇸🙏💜🙏
Amusing that Mick didn't remember writing the letter to have the little site scheduled.
There has been a lot of wine flowing since then.
You can IMAGINE how cool this WOULDVE been.

I like how the lady who first brought this to their attention was proven right.
I love how they said "little trenches and at the end they dug it all up
simply because they proved it was a combo folly bath house ... gave them more wiggle room for the scheduled site
It was partially unearthed to begin with, and the walls were visible already. In the beginning Phil discovers walls as they are just clearing the plants away.

Watching this during the pandemic, I have two things to say: first, good for Freya! Second, Phil's sock has a hole! It figures! I love that guy.
Also love Briget
I loved this episode, it was like a roller coaster!
There were several places that had me laughing so hard I was almost out of my chair! What a hoot!!!
I think it was a victorian scoundrels tourist trap and he built the spa with bought items and relics.
The give away is the red white and blue Tesserae. Probably a Union Jack. ;->

This is a wonderful episode. Whitestaunton Manor if my family's ancestral home.
YOU GUYS SOLD IT?
@wewenangyep yesterday 5167
Thanks for the upload
Where's Mick? He's the specialist on all things ecclesiastical. Miss you Professor Aston, RIP sir!
He's in this episode 😊
This will sound really goofy but here goes. I feel like a ghoul watching Mick, Robin, Victor and Ian (the super skilled digger driver) . Individuals whom I grown to love and respect.
Enjoy their legacy an work, it's happening all around you enjoy and share 😊
Stewart is deus ex machina in so many episodes...I love him!
Stewart is a beast! I’m always amazed on how much he can infer from simple changes in elevations, tree lines, sometimes a pretty landscape, and so on…
25:01 “Lands of clouds and rain” indeed lol
That's a large 10% dig up.
John can’t complain about doing geophys on that lawn. Easy days.
A few Storks carried off the villa.
Nah it was those darn low flying herons once the dropped the flint axes😅
I so wish I could be the new owner of this fabulous property. The new owner is fortunate indeed.
Hey! What happened to the cute, blond archaeologist who brought them there and was completely vindicated? Discrimination!
..she married Phil
She is right there 16:06
It's a Roman "treefort".
It would be interesting, to me anyway, to know what happens to these sites when TimeTeam's three days are completed. I realize many are plotted and covered back up, but a rare find like this seems like it should be cleaned up and displayed. Possibly it was, but I have no clue. Anyone?
+KYIRISH1 All the information gleaned is carefully recorded on put on file for other archaeologists to look at and use in the future. One of the problems is there are so many sites that need more work and not enough funding to go round.
+KYIRISH1 The information gathered during the making of these shows is held by an organisation called Wessex Archaeology. They have offices around the UK and work closely with County, and Regional Archaeology Societies and academic bodies. Some of the "digs" featured in Time Team go on for many years.
I hope they diverted that stream to protect the area from erosion.
@ TheSpikehere and Khasab : Thank you for that information. I just discovered this show a couple of weeks ago, and ever since I have been thinking this 3 day restriction is just silly.
@@aylbdrmadison1051
Ran across this article today. Outlines what happens to the sites themselves.
www.show.me.uk/editorial/1114-what-happens-when-the-archaeologists-go-home
good for John for trying.
I think this was a nymphaeum, not a bath house. That could explain in its isolation.
God you again with this stupid theory.
They demonstrated why it was a bath house.
@@Invictus13666 it was hardly identified as a bath house. I have yet to see a single mention of a nymphaeum in all of Time Team. That tells me that it was not in their lexicon. You can’t identify something of which you have no concept. It’s very likely a nymphaeum.
@@mgclark46 do you actually know what a nympaeum is or do you just think it’s a cool word that you can post on every time team video?
@@Invictus13666 I think I posted it two, maybe three times. And yes, of course I know what a nymphaeum is.
@@mgclark46 so why do you think you’re more equipped to watch a show and tell us what it was than the foremost Roman experts in Britain?
hang on, if a site has been dug before those trenches dont count as new archaeology, so they could add 10% plus redigging the old trenches
nope .... if they choose to dig the old trenches they are just aligning themselves with the old works ... but if they tag a bit of the old trench and dig new they get location and context at the same time
Actually they commonly comment on how if a modern dig has been done before then they can uncover that trench without taking any square footage from the specified cap. On this site, I believe, it was dug over 100 years prior and doesn’t count as previous work.
"This is Julie, who is from Somerset, and this is Simon, who is from Somerset."
While I'm Paul from no were near there.....but pleased to know of them
@@user-hy7zb2vl3t ...and that's Numberwang!
I have a question. Y’all have found several mosaics. Do y’all remove them and place in a museum or leave them be
IF ITS SCHEDULED THE MUST COVER IT BACK AND LEFT IT THERE
Does English Heritage still think of the site now?
What happened to the 10% ?
An ex-archaeology student weighing in on Time Team? They could ask me!!
When you’ve spent hours doing masters level research I’m sure they’ll get in touch.
@Invictus13666 what I art of ex did you not get?????
Would the hypocaust system be a good way to heat houses today?
I work in the plumbing dept at a major diy store and what we sell is called radiant heating. it costs a bit to start off with but, over time, it is sooo much more cheaper to use, warms better and is such a help to traditional furnaces...
While this is true, it does take a little while to heat up, but after that it heats wonderfully!
Yes, it can. The Koreans used a very similar system and while modern apartments usually have normal underfloor heating, some people in detached houses (Usually built in a traditional style) still opt for an Ondol (similar to the "experimental archaeology in this episode.) If you want to check out one of these houses, look up, "Houses that Breathe, Hanok [The Wonders of Korea 2 / 2016.10.21]" on UA-cam.
Hydronic underfloor heating. I have an extremely simple system that was built with the house in the 70's. It is wonderful!
No it is a very inefficient way unless you already have a heat source for some other purpose. The problem is heat loss to the environment and stone set into the earth. These days we can insulate better and manage humidity so much better than these old days.
I do hope Wessex or another outfit were smart enough to hire Freya after this.. I wonder how often Romans died of carbon monoxide poisoning from the heated floor fires??
EMM SLAVES WOULD STOKE THE FIRE DURING ROMAN TIMES SO...THEY DINT CARE POSSIBLE, JUST BUY NEW SLAVE IF ONE DIED LOL
@@wewenang5167slaves were outside in the fresh freezing air
Well a huge villa might have been drafty and well ventilated
My flat would certainly benefit from a hypocaust. 👣☺️
if you look at tonys belle in later episodes these two could be related, pity the nose isnt clearer
I think the dig is at. 50.890330,-3.024731
LOL Matt as a kid!
Love Matt!
"Dennis!! There's some lovely filth down here!!"
Let's rebuild the bath house.
Who covers all the holes that are dug?
Laborers. Duh.
@@Invictus13666give you that one
By about 1 or 2 seconds
One thing I have noticed, none of the archaeologists wearing gloves. I wonder why that is?
Well for Phil it would mean his creepy fingernails would be hidden. He can't allow that.
Why would they wear gloves? That would make it much harder to do their job
Tiger Lilly You can get hand shaped gloves. In version 14 bridget is wearing gloves though :)
@@TheVCHorseguy ..he plays serious guitar
@@Pauldjreadman She's also a conservator.
Second time i watch this one i think…
is the voice lag in the video or is it a problem of my internet?
It must be the video; I have it too.
i believe it is the video several are like this i have seen almost the whole series on here
Michelle Twidwell no lag here
***** well it's not the video
Yes it's a lag that happened while uploading,however it's not nearly as bad as it was 7 episodes ago,it's when it's 2-3 seconds off is what makes it hard to watch,this is fine for me
Why are only 3 days given to a search? Seems like you must go at warp speed to find what you do find. Dont you find this rather irritating? Just curious.
Because it focuses the team, and it’s how much time they could spend away from work. It started because professor hypocrite decided he could learn all the landscape archaeology of a town in an afternoon.
@@Invictus13666 Hmm. If you need to spit this kind of venom on others, you are victus indeed. What happened to you?
@@souloftheteacher9427 venom? I answered a question...and what do you think ‘victus” means...?
@@Invictus13666pizza?????
The original owner probably lied
tony is a bit of a close talker…😂
Shot in 2004.
My American mind: "Does medieval come before or after Roman? After! Definitely after."
You are truly one of my countrymen 😊
Unfortunately, no kudos given to the beautiful young archeologist who rediscovered it.
@@thealchemist5376 keep spanking it creepo
@@thealchemist5376 lmao
They mentioned here and she appeared at the beginning and they have a plan she made. What more do you want?
always listen to stewart! he knows all.
No, he doesn’t. He’s frequently proven wrong.
@@Invictus13666 you obviously havent watched many episodes.
@@lizzy66125 I’ve seen them all. Multiple times. That’s how I know he’s often wrong.
@@Invictus13666might be a bit disgruntled by tracking your post oh with a tinge judgemental.....
@@user-hy7zb2vl3t Bored by the stewlickers.
Landscape archaeology isn’t that magical...btw, guess who wrote one of the original textbooks used in Britain...to establish it as a thing...just guess.
is this matts 1st episode i think it might be
Second.
@@BryonLape no.
I like Freya Bowles last name.🙂
Too bad that bureaucracy couldn't be budged. Short-sighted and a hindrance in this case.
I love David. His wife sent him to work in khakis, a sweater and a white shirt. Hes got mud all over him lol.
Than she lashed to an inches of his life.?.
Or more likely made him strip down outside before coming in.....
Thanks for poating.
Why are these experts referring to pottery bits as "sherds"? When I went to school, the term was "shards"......
When I first started watching TT several years ago I thought the same thing. It bothered me enough to look it up. The precise term for a fragment of pottery found on an archaeological site is a "potsherd", frequently shortened to "sherd".
Also depends where your from, in the US it's shards, UK is sherds.
@@scarletfluerr not necessarily.
19:55 45:41 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Another thing that the new owner didn't happen to say was that 1700 years ago the person that lived there was a foreign invader and now he's bought the place as a foreign invader! I think I would have rather had the Romans than the Americans and I am an American.
HOW YOU KNOW THE PERSON THAT LIVED THERE DURING ROMAN TIMES WAS AN INVADER? IT COULD BE JUST A ROMANIZED LOCAL NATIVE WHICH WERE A LOT OF THEM. MOST LOCAL ELITES CELTIC TRIBES THAT WERE THERE AFTER THE ROMAN CONQUEST ACTUALLY BECAME ROMANIZED AND ADOPTED ROMAN CULTURE AND WAY OF LIFE. NOT TO MENTION A ROMAN WAS NOT AN ETHNICITY BUT A CITIZENSHIP, YOU COULD BE FROM AFRICA, MIDDLE EAST, ASIA OR EUROPE BUT STILL A ROMAN BECAUSE ROME IS A MULTI ETHNIC EMPIRE WERE YOUR ETHNICITY WAS NOT IMPORTANT. MOST ROMAN LEGION THAT WAS SEND TO BRITAIN WAS FROM GAUL, (FRANCE), IBERIA, FRISIAN (NETHERLANDS AND BELGIUM TODAY) , DACIAN (ROMANIA) AND NORTH AFRICAN. AS A MATTER OF FACT THEY FOUND A RECORDS OF A ROMAN LEGIONARY FROM NUMIDIA OR LIBYA THAT LIVE AND MARRIED LOCAL CELTIC WOMEN AND THEN MOVED BACK TO LIBYA AFTER HE RETIRED FROM THE ARMY WITH HIS BRITISH WIFE.THERE WERE ALSO GREEK AND EGYPTIANS IN THE ROMAN ARMY BUT GREEK AND EGYPTIAN WERE HIRED USUALLY AS DOCTORS, ENGINEERS AND SCRIBE BECAUSE THEY WERE THE SMARTEST. SO IT COULD BE ANYONE BUT CERTAINLY NOT ITALIAN, BECAUSE ITALIAN ROMANS HATE THE COLD WEATHER OF BRITAIN. THE ONLY NATIVE OF BRITAIN WERE THE CELTS. BUT EVEN THE CELTS CAME FROM CENTRAL EUROPE AND NOT ORIGINALLY FROM BRITAIN. ALL OTHER PEOPLE THAT CAME AFTER THAT WERE INVADERS INCLUDING ANGLO SAXON, VIKINGS AND NORMAN. IF ROMAN EMPIRE STILL EXIST TODAY SOME NUTCASE WILL CALL THEM A WOKE EMPIRE BECAUSE IT WAS VERY PLURALISTIC AND MULTI ETHNIC. XD
As an American myself no no you would not.....
Case in point give me yourself an family I have money an thugs more than you do .
Give it now sorry to late took it slave.
Rember I just live states away....
Guy who posted in all caps I believe is a crackhead or something......
Again Time Team Video sound is out of sync
Tr Bratt i
Again, an ungrateful sod complaints about something that's free. Go by the box set if you want perfection.
Personally I don't give a damn. Just be thankful there are experts to tell you whats happening.
Damn i though it was my sound card,
English Heritage is a total buzzkill!
Real estate value fraud in the past as well today
Phil doesn't find sh*t. The volunteers, students, and PhD candidates do all the work. When they find anything Phil comes over and takes all the credit. That's the way academia works.
lol nasty
My experience is that's how life works, not just academia.
It is TV; have you never watched TV before? It is a construct to enable narrative flow. Also, Phil is not a professional academic (he is a professional archaeologist; and a good one). Finally, I am guessing you have some chips on shoulders there mate; as an academic myself, I work harder to help my students than I do on my own career...
@@garethamery3167 sure you do.
@@Invictus13666 Not sure if you are being sarcastic (pretty sure but giving benefit of the doubt). In any event, many of us academics are drawn by the teaching aspect rather than self-glorification. Once I have a solution to a problem I really am not that excited about writing it up...BUT my students need to publish to get their career off the ground, so that motivates me . . . If you don't believe that this is common, I guess you know few mathematicians...for many of us, once we have told our peers about our work (seminars etc) we are happy...publish or perish is an anathema to a lot of us...
Booorrrring.
Well feck off then!
Gerard Jones, then don't watch! Easy yeah? Definitely NOT boring😊😎
