    I have always loved the good natured “ball-busting,” that threads its way through the years of this show. It is just a wonderful show. Interesting, intelligent, with no sense of pretension. A show you wish would never end, and you are so sad when it does.
    Thanks for helping to keep it alive and available.

      Any time they start ragging on John and his geophysics, I just think of the very first episode, when he presented the complete floorplan of Athelney Chapel. And they didn't even have to dig a single trench. :-)

    One of the many things that made this show great is that Tony was able to get highly educated people to explain their findings into plain talk. I know he would have been able to understand without explanation, but he doesn't lose awareness of the viewers. this has made this part of the success of this whole series. Time Team America couldn't find a presenter or host that had that skill set. It was all part of Baldrick's cunning plan.

    I live in the province of Luxembourg in Belgium. The typical rural villages are very similar to the one described in this episode with most houses up to about 40 years ago having at least half the building dedicated to keeping animals and a place for a manure heap outside the front door. Most households kept chickens, a pig and some cows or sheep. They grew most of their vegetables and often owned or rented at least one field. Recently people had day jobs and ran their farmsteads during their free time.

      Oh, the expletives sometimes come (the archaeologists are only human after all)... but they end up in the digital rubbish bin. There's a strange dichotomy here in the UK, where the TV channels don't allow swearing (mostly), but you hear spumes of violent swearing in every street. No swearing on TT or Doctor Who though...

    The Hollow Way starts about here:
    54°32'56.5"N 1°38'57.9"W
    and the lines of the other street and plots are visible on Google Earth. If you pull back you can see lines in two fields to the east and in some across the main road on the north that match up with the lines in the main field, suggesting that the village was more extensive than they suspected at the time this was dug.

      They're just keeping it real, Jan - isn't this pretty typical of male interaction? What irks me is when the women 'dare' to be so 'confrontational', some guys come down on them like a ton of bricks, as if personally affronted and annointed as Beelzebub himself to condemn to them to Hades forever. Carenza especially gets this over the top mistreatment. They take no account of her senior position in the hierarchy, so no only her right but her duty to intervene - she just has to zip it and preferably disappear according to them. Mother, Daddy or incel issues, I suppose.

    @Dozenfury88 2 роки тому +1

    On this one I'm inclined to think the town was largely abandoned after the black plague. There is a mention in the episode of property there being transferred in the 1500's, and the assumption being that meant it must have still been inhabited. But these could have been vacant houses that were not necessarily inhabited by then (Ulnaby may have been hit hard by it), which would also explain giving them away 100 years later. Just too much of a gap of ~300 years right after the black plague with no findings where it seemed to become a ghost town suddenly. And then finally a few hundred years later the property was reused, probably by a the single later home that they found before eventually even that went away, and the village was lost to history until TT.

    pigs bladder as a balloon. not the first time I heard of this. when I was 4 or 5 (55 years ago) one fall morning is was time to slaughter hogs. My Grand mother took one of the bladders, stuck a straw in it after put a knot in the other end and blew it up as a balloon for me to play with, I remember wanting nothing to do with it.

    • @cathjj840
      @cathjj840 5 років тому +1

      I could think of several reasons. The timber wall with its filling material (usually wattle and daub) was already in place, and that is usually much more insulating than stone. But maybe it was showing signs of weakness or decay, so they decided to use the stones taken from field creation or another building falling to ruin to reinforce it. And if so, perhaps they only became available over time and not all at once.

    • @ersikillian
      @ersikillian 5 років тому

      Perhaps the stone wall was from a slightly later structure, which was erected after the timber house had collapsed?

      Ah. UK pub life. I used to belong to a group called the 7 o'clock club: we'd go to an unsuspecting pub after 7pm on a Sunday evening, and we'd all have to dress up. One time it was 'anglers', so we all dressed up as fishermen, and a mate of mine actually inflated a rubber dinghy in the pub bar, and two of them sat in it with fishing rods. The landlord (who had no idea we would turn up) loved it, and went and fetched fish fingers to hang on the lines. Mind you, we bought an awful lot of beer and cider...
