The child who answered the door was wearing a Mick Ashton sweater/jumper.
That was my thought too!
How fun to have TT in your very backyard! 😊 rightly so she wears it on day two too.
Where is she now 2023?
I missed that, had to rewind and it put a smile on my face. I wonder what she’s doing now. Time Team inspired so many kids to become scientists and archaeologists…
Oh, she looks so thrilled when she sees Mick, too!! Legend 🤗💓
She would be in her late twenties or even early 30s now. I would love to find out that her love of history and archaeology only grew with time!!
Tony may have promised Carenza a beer, but surely that should have been upgraded when she was the first to find the mosaic floor. :)
He promised champagne at the beginning!!
She definitely should have gotten a “finder’s fee” of champagne as well as her promised beer. 💕🐝💕
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.
Most of the roman things were robbed out to build other homes. It was just "old crap" 100 years after they romans left and a cheap way to build a real house that kept your family warm and dry.
@@chrisrichard2526 Indeed !!!!! I just hate those un real houses .
@@larryzigler6812 You seem to entirely miss the point.
I did not realise how much I missed this show, even the theme song made me teary!
Awe. I thought I was the only one to do that. 😅
I often wonder when putting a trench in a garden if the owners,behind doors, say, ‘the best way to get rid of that old shed and dig the garden is to call Time Team’.
Truly one of the best episodes. The joy, friendship, funnies, and personalities really took president over the archeology.
*Precedent
What a great episode, Mick and Tony and everyone running around at the finds and the really human reactions to a lot of really amazing archaeology. Possibly one of the most human and exciting Time Team episodes, and trust me I've almost seen them all at this point haha, thank you for the upload!
Who cleans up after
"The Mosaic at the Bottom of the Garden"
Time Team S07E02 (January 9, 2000) Channel 4
Thanks. For the life of me don't get why they don't put that in the description.
I love Phil, he's like the favorite jolly uncle everybody loves and remembers!!
I had never even heard about this show until I saw it during a trip to England several years ago. I was upset that there was no way to watch it on tv in this country. Can’t imagine why it was never picked up here. Huge thanks to all these people who post these episodes so I can get my Time Team fix!!
Check your local PBS station. I've seen episodes of this show there.
Under the Time Team name, not Odyssey.
@@markschneider8815I have never seen it on my state’s PBS channel. All states have their own PBS channels so it’s hit or miss.
It was on back in the day honey.
@@ChristaFree Oh, thanks, honey
If I lived in England and owned a yard I would dig up every square inch possible 😂😂😂
To see it being sponged off and see the colors of that mosaic is really a gas
This episode looks like the director said, "Make Tony run!" ;-)
Victor was so amazing. He really made the history come alive with his drawings.
I had no idea Tony was a comedian in a TV show at the same time he did this show.
I was so happy when Carenza found the mosaic. Roman mosaics are one of my favorites.
I am SUCH a fiend for a mosaic!!! Just like Tony lolol. 💕💕💕💕
Bit shit for the blokey bottle of beer joke. Her face said it all. Really disrepectful actually since this was the only interesting thing.
@@livingthedream- Yeah, he could have given them all a big bottle.
I did immediately think that she deserved a bottle of champagne for finding it, I honestly was bewildered as to why Tony immediately downgraded her to beer as if her work was subpar. I'm going to chalk it up to one of those bewildering Brit Things, the one where they give you guff if they like you, and if they're ultra-polite they don't like you. At least that's what my Brit friends tell me... 🤷🏼♀️
@M Parker it's kuz they're friends and he was being cheeky for lols but they're probably really close etc
Wondering what more has been discovered around those spots during the next 23 years, if any...
The little girl’s Mick Aston sweater vest 1:49
💙❤️🧡💜💛💚
Plus this episode has so many really funny bits. Thanks editor.
I just love this program! It has given me such joy for so many years!
I even bought several books of Mick Aston and they are in english, first time for me when I'm swedish. I really liked them!
Big thanks from Sweden🤗.
Hello from New Zealand. We're huge fans here of Sir Tony, so it's a thrill to find your channel. Thanks for the discoveries
If that was my backgarden, I'd make a roof all over it and walls like a carport and dug the whole thing out (and maybe make a pool from it). :-P
So wonderful to see Mick Anston. What a fellow.
Aston!
I absolutely love Tony and his excitement for archaeology and history. ❤❤❤
Im living my archeology dreams through him and his show
It's not HIS show!
@@dineroukTony was one of the producers of the show so it was partially his.
The young lady that opens the door has to be a Mick fan
I want to hang out at the pub with Nick and Phil. Their bickering is brilliant.
Scheduled monument but not so scheduled as to stop a crazy golf course, tennis court or play ground?
I will never get tired of seeing demonstrations of Roman engineering.
Tony is like the Energizer Bunny 😊 always running here and there.😊
Time team found many mosaics after this. I've seen all their episodes l can find more than once except for the place that turned out to be fake seeded with finds from other places, some found above modern utilities. That wasn't worth seeing the first time. That was years ago. Political campaigns here are starting to take over the local media Time to resee the adventures of Phil Tony Carenza and the rest of the team to keep the world in perspective.
Why is Tony always running and jogging around? He does this almost every episode. 😅
Hey, Tony. This is how you get your exercise? Great producion by you and your tem. As alwYs. Thanks, mate.
These programs are delightful as well as educational. Roman dice looked just like what we use today! Who knew?
If you go to the British Museum in London they have some Roman dice on display from around the 1st century. Some look a lot like the 12 and 20-sided dice you'd see in Dungeons & Dragons. Who knew the Romans were into Table Top Role-Playing Games? 😃
@@legionarybooks13 n
@@legionarybooks13 - Or The Cones of Dunshire?
I knew.
Tony Robinson and the whole team-Bravo! Absolutely perfect.
I really hope Tony’s treatment of Carenza was purely done for entertainment value, otherwise I’ve got to say it was really sexist. I mean, she found the mosaic!
Tony’s also a known comedian! He acted as ‘Baldrick’ in the Black adder series. Trust me he’s being comedic!
God has smiled upon us that Time Team is filming again
I love how enthusiastic the archeologists always are even though Tony is more skeptical with every new dig 😂
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!'
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.
Oh. Yay!!! An episode that I haven't seen. I found episodes here on YT years ago, and I have no idea how many times I've watched then all. Thank you for these new (to YT) ones. ❤
Why did those Roman buildings get destroyed 😢. They were so beautiful, such a shame.
Love your channel. Sad you only show 3 days of digging. Have to wonder if you do more in depth digging when you find a site that has an abundance of ancient relics to find.
Thank you for sharing
God bless
This is a show I wish I would have know about in my childhood in the 90’s.
I love that the young girl had her Mickesque item on!!
Amazing documentary! But the biggest question is how the owners of the garden gave a permission to totally dig it. Thanks to them as well!
Maybe they are archaeology fanatics or wanted to do a garden makeover and the clearing was done for them?😁
Did you see that our little girl wore a jumper just like Mick‘s? So far I’ve counted four shots of her. She is a huge fan of Time Team!
Lots of people let archaeologists dig their gardens. People want to know.
This is a series that has well over 10 seasons. Time Team was ahead of the times. I recommend watching all of the episodes.
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
Church + Dice = Holy Rollers !
😂😂😂😂😂🥰
It is always frustrating when your in the right church but the wrong pew ...
Yes, just string and nails. But alien string and nails. Get with the plan, Phil. Cheers
Charming, funny, intelligent history - we've already found the treasure!
Lol, that repair to the mosaic floor looks like a council bodge job.
Just what is done with all the bits & pieces piled in the trays. Are they all individually catalogued or just the significant pieces ? Is the detritus placed in a box which is labelled by a dig / trench number?
Wonder what has happened since at this site. There doesn't seem to be a date as to when this 1st aired, however, everyone looks quite young and, Kerry is digging. In later episodes Kerry became site manager as well as assuming other duties and he no longer took an active part in digging. This might be a site to return to in 2024 or 25.
Telling me your service is like Netflix is like telling me I should NEVER USE IT.
I don't have NF, never have, and never will. It is the worst ad you could possibly have conceived of. Instead, promise me you WON'T STEAL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION AND SELL IT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
A very exciting find of the mosaic floor. I guess they will hve to cover it up again or live with a deep hole in the garden !
whenever i am depressed. i always watch Time team. the Environment, the Scenery makes me calm. i love England. i always wanted to go there. they said it is always raining there. i think its good because rain makes my emotion calm. i don't know anything about the English people especially in the country side if they are welcoming. I hate City.
At 26:17 - Possibly my favorite TT moment ever. 😊
Is it wrong for me to bury my old cell phones in historical areas to be discovered in 500 years. Maybe a little Roman pottery next to it.
Yes it is. They are full of toxic heavy metals and will break down into microplastic.
They should have made a tv show of just those Roman guys running around getting yelled at by the Centurion. So many possibilities...
I’ve just looked at this on google maps. Unfortunately and shockingly the mosaic in the garden looks to be all filled back in.
It probably keeps it the safest. I mean it's been hidden underground for so long already leaving it open to the elements will wear it down in no time. They know it's there and it's protected. They can always dig it up again if needed.
Somewhere between 10 to 15 minis good for me as far as video length. Free time is always precious.😊
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. I keep hearing backyards referred to as gardens in England. Is there any instance where the land by a house is not called a garden, or is that just what they're all called?
@@John.Flower.Productions thank you very much! I had also wondered what the distinction was between a house and a cottage. I forgot to mention that the terms lawn and yard are synonymous here. I always find the nuances interesting. Have a lovely day.
@@Kelly_Grey I'm not intending to challenge Mr Flower's answer to your question in any way, but I'd just like to add that, generally speaking, the difference between a house and a cottage is one of size - and consequently to some extent it is also one of status. A cottage is essentially a small house. Often we associate them with rural areas, but even in towns and cities a row or terrace of modest artisans' houses from the 19th or 20th century, for example, might be described as "workers' cottages".
@Phil Roberts Thanks! That is interesting. We also consider cottages to be smaller dwellings than a house, but also in very rural areas where there isn't much around. Sort of synonymous with a cabin.
@@Kelly_Grey Lawn and yard are definitely not synonymous. A lawn is a patch of grass. A yard is the land around a house/building. A yard can have a lawn, but a yard can also be bushes or a garden or have a pool, etc.
Kelly, yard and garden are interchangable, a back yard at the back of the house may or not be used for growing veg, fruit etc. Front gardens are often more ornamental, with a lawn and flower beds. But if one is not into veg, fruit growing the back yard/garden may be ornamental with a lawn, BBQ, deck, pool, etc.
Good on Time Team - 1st mosaic!
Oh wow, that mosaic is amazing considering it's age
it always dumbfounds me how these beautiful site are forgotten and end up 3 or 4 feet below the ground. then it makes me sad that these gorgeous mosaic floors are discovered and are just covered back up and left.
I wonder how all the dirt built up to cover these walls and floors. In some digs there is almost no coverage and for others it is meters down.
Asks the question... Who foots the bill for the homes that were dug up?
1st time to see this one, can't believe I haven't seen a "Time Team"! A treat! 🎉
The fellas get the champagne and the gal gets the beer?
What if there, were the Mosaik was repaired, was not a repair but a place to set a column or something else heavy and they used the larger stones to give it a larger foundation?
The silliness abounds! As well the discoveries, the excitement, and just plain joy!!!
What is behind the bathroom wall with the sink on it in Ryan’s old apartment? looks like plenty of space if that wall is removed to make a great sized bathroom. And when you looked over a wall in the hall and saw a door you said was an old one into Ryan’s apartment, that seems to be running next to Ryan’s bedroom? Another place to expand that one bedroom and put a closet?
Also, in Real am’s bathroom video of the first door apartment, there was a view of the toilet behind him with what looked like a door? Behind it? like into that smaller room? perfect!
Do you think there is enough room behind that bathroom wall so the kitchen to bathroom for can easily be closed up? I would love to come renovate that corner apartment!
Also, in Ryan’s yesterday
He moved to the upstairs apt and that down stairs apartment will be renovated by others in due course, Ryan is doing a good job on his current apartment. you posted on a time team vid but I watch the other channel too.
So excited it’s here and ready for installation!! 🥳
28:00 Tony's jaw literally drops
I just love Phil
I wonder, do the people with the mosaic in their garden cover it up again or set it up under cover of some sort for more permanent viewing?
Hey Tony, how did you manage to get a 3-day workweek? ;)
Wonderful to watch an episode of Time Team again. With that giving out of bottles of whine to team members, Carenza had to be happy with a bottle of beer. For a moment she seemed to act with a disappointed face, as if thinking `Oh, I´m second place, just a small bottle!` Hahaha...
In honestly, in general, the spirits are as high as the drive to uncover treasures is below☺
WINE!
Bottle of 'whine' certainly applies to some of the comments people post! I kinda like the phrase.o
I wonder. Did they ever fill the peoples property back in?
21:40 the board game looks more like checkers than chess.
Very much like Go, interestingly - in board, pieces, and combat theme. That's a rabbit hole I'll have to dive into, soon. 😂
21:30 a centurion in charge of 11 pieces? Wouldn’t that be more like a decurion?
Decurions were actually cavalry officers in charge of squadrons of around 30 troopers (I know it seems odd, given the name). A decanus was a section / squad leader within a century, who led up to seven legionaries. Ten sections made up the century of 80 soldiers total (one would think it'd 100 but it wasn't), 84 if you include the centurion, optio, signifier, and tesserarius.
@@legionarybooks13 so decanus it should be, thank you!
Awww, I love how the girl is wearing a look-alike Mick Aston sweater!🙂❤
I was sad rhat Mick didn’t catch that, walked right by her🙁
@@laurawalker7947 I know, right? Nobody there seemed to notice. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m hoping it was discussed before or after that moment was filmed.
Why didn’t Carenza get the big bottle of champagne?
I would love to see a program such as Time Team here in the USA to investigate the archaeology of ancient peoples. The work is compounded a bit by the sacred status of many sites.
That would be so cool! My one concern is that it might disturb Indigenous holy sites - it might be good to have Indigenous people running the dig sites and ensuring that all archeological finds are given to the First Nations - if they chose to disturb the spots at all.
A great line from near the end............................'Despite the creaking timbers, and creaking joints of our enactors it seems to be working'
I like those backyard digs.
"you can have a beer"
kinda sexist, Tony🤔
No, not white grout!!! It's not historical, would look too modern, is HATEFUL to keep clean as well. Same color grout means that the floor looks seamless, which is what you want. Great job Billy!
When will Rick be back? I hope he's ok.
Hey, to the bald dude, never caught his name. Handheld 2-way radios don't work like cellular phones. He was holding the speaker to his ear and talking into the bottom. They are using Motorola radios, even if they don't have the Motorola name on then, and the microphone is at the corner of the speaker, which was pressed to his cheek! Motorolas are good, but not that good! His audio would have been extremely mufflec. I have several of this type so I'm very familiar with how they work. Tch-tch! Time for some remedial training!
Also the overall audio of the show is very low. How about boosting it a bit.
Great series. Why didn’t the natives just move into Roman buildings after the Romans let UK? Also, why are the old building floors so far below the current ground level? 🇨🇦
The invention of trousers for men was a blessing.
They started out using wool cut on the bias to fit foot and leg, then hung it on a belt and wore a long shirt. Called 'hosen' by Germans.
Native American men in Taos were wearn this same thing, in a way. They cut the crotch out of jeans and wore a long shirt. Verile men from what I'm told...
Always enjoy !!

Isn't Ancient Roman redundant
Rome still exists. You can be a Roman right now, today, go live in Rome.
Its a specific term for the period of Rome after the Republic to empirial shift and before the schism/split if eastern and western Roman empires. The period between 50bce and 380ce. The period before is often referred to as greko-roman, and the period after Byzantine-Roman.
Calling late BC and early AD Rome ‘Ancient’ is putting it in the same period as 700 BC Ancient Greece.
@Nick Turner so ancient Sumar and ancient Greece are the same period, too? How about Ancient Mycenae and acnient greece? They are same location, different periods entirely, so that would be a silly summation. Ancient is a relative term; relative to the culture it is in reference to only and not the specific time period across the world for all around at that time. Context for what time period is meant is given by what culture the word ancient preceeds.
When did this episode air?? Seems like they're excavating mosaics all the time lololol
A road it looks like a road
21:37 They literally made a modern warfare video game
