The Extraordinary Roman Artifacts Underneath A Dorset Pig Farm | Time Team
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Pigs rooting in a windswept field in Dorset unearthed fragments including Roman mosaic floor tiles. In addition, a Bournemouth University excavation team located some burials nearby. The farmer, Simon Meaden, has asked Time Team to investigate further. Gradually a complex picture emerges of human activity here over thousands of years, including a heated Roman villa with bath-house.

Phil seems to really love those chickens.....he is such a delightfully joyful fellow, especially when it comes to digging trenches! He is just so cute, & with that accent, he reminds me a bit of Eliza Doolittle's dad, from My Fair Lady! 🥰
I love how we're shown the strategy of the digging. It shows a dimension of archaeology we wouldn't see if the 3 day limit weren't imposed.
Mick was a true treasure for Time Team! He surely is missed! How do I get a Time Team T-Shirt?? A fan from Vegas....
Just recently discovered Timeline. Thank you thank you thank you.. Y'all and "The Fall of Civilization's" content re Britain are really illuminating.History does come alive.
Becareful, I discovered it a year ago and watch it everyday!
Such beautiful countryside! I often try to imagine what it might've looked like when it was all forested, before humans reshaped the landscapes.
Me too
I knew those chickens would have to help. They always help.
Buck. Buck. Buck. Buck. Buckgallbuckbuck
Like Bon Ami...the chicken's haven't scratched amphora yet...
This was absolutely the most interesting pig field ever.
My goodness, Baldrick is such a brilliant presenter! ❤️
It would be ignorant to presume that modern humans were the only ones on the same land. The land was used per generations and many chased off. I am impressed of the finds. Very informative of a highly used area for many different forms of living.
36:00 - Phil: "...but my trench is full of Chickens. lol!"
Chickens: "Ain't nobody here but us chickens, ain't nobody here at all..."
So many huge fields, so few farmsteads-who is doing all the work? Hardly ever see a tractor or harvester or cows or sheep. Seems strange to me. Love the series!
Not in that part of the country. There it's mostly arable farming. North and West is more pasture. Scotland and Wales have more sheep and cattle than people - by quite a large margin...
Not strange at all. If you're going to let time team dig, then you're probably going to let that particular area fallow. And you also wouldn't want your livestock to get injured, or damage anything or anyone. It's an archeology show, no real incentive to show the work being done on the farm when the focus is on archeology. You're seeing three days worth of filming (at least 24 hours of footage) condensed to less than an hour.
Love the respect and care Sir Tony showed recovering that artifact.
IDK how I ended up here
Go Land Rovers "Chickens " ? Ha Ha helpers. Victors great art work will be missed.
Swine Team!! (A group of hogs are called a team) The farmer's Porcine Archeologists deserve a big round of applause! They located AND cleaned the tesserae! "That's some pig!"
i would not mind having a bath house myself.
Ikr! I would also love to have hypercourse tiles & and an underfloor heating system....Roman's were quite ahead of their time....interesting to think where we in the modern world would be, without Roman Technology! 🥰
My mom's dog didn't last a week after she passed. It would have been better if they were buried together. But I can't imagine the paperwork and the lawyers fees...
How deep was the topsoil in these fields in Roman, bronze-age, neolithic times?
I’m just amazed when I find arrow heads. Can’t think how old this stuff is.
Great program! Love watching Nerds have fun haha.
Reminds me of a story from The Famous Five , where they go live on a farmhouse with an old history and treasures buried underneath.
Thank you
Of course chickens like archeology-- they're always pecking in the dirt! A bit more fond of the bugs they find, but suitability impressed with potsherds
Also, did Tony comment that the chicken archeologists would have to cross the road to get at the next dig site?
This doesn't happen where I live lol. Must be so cool to be European and literally have no idea the history beneath your feet😍
I spent three years in England.
You can't swing a dead cat without hitting something 500yrs old or older.
I visited an English friend who lived in a cottage that was first registered in 1100AD.
Continuous human habitation for longer that 877 years.
Boggles the American mind.
@@uncbadguy ..........got that spot on.....the furniture in the Three Tuns Pub, is all older than the USA.humbling {Hay-On-Wye]
Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure the oldest thing I've ever touched was my house that was 150 years old.
I agree. I'd love to visit Europe and see all the history.
There is alot I would love to see Egypt, the whole crescent. So much to see
Love this show,well done 🤙🍻🇳🇿
Chickens are chill af
What a cracking show!
Nice farm man.
Baldrick sure did come a long way after learning advance mathematics.
Baldrick learning advanced mathematics is about the most funny things I’ve seen. Baldrick counting beans. 3 and that one. Lord blackadder. What does that make. Baldrick, a very small casserole hhh epic stuff
@@wtfmrb293 One of the best British Comedy Shows.
So cool
Wish you would lengthen the dig time and then finish off and reveal
I love to hear Tony, and Phil squabble.
YEAH! they actually found something!
Time Team 1994 to 2014 💖🤩
I love all the archeological terminology.....'dinky dimpled thing'. 😅
What's up with the guy at the beginning of these videos ? This is Tony's show !
He’s just there to promote the UA-cam channel, this channel is showcasing the old time team episodes
How does one just come and help with the dig
I'm curious about the wall found in the chickens field.
I TOTALLY CALLED THE BATH HOUSE! 10 minutes before the Time Team called it!
I've seen birds swoop down on the furrow as soon as the plow has passed by, so I'm not surprised the chickens go for the trench. Digging churns up worms and insect larvae, so they're coming for a snack.
Bronze age - Iron age - Roman! … my property (Connecticut, USA) was supposedly occupied in 1636 and all I've found is a couple pigs teeth and two pipe stems. … I had to buy the property of a 17th century neatnik!
If your "property" is near water it is possible that there was "habitation" near by long before 1636.
Colonial residents. There were Native Americans for centuries prior. The Theroy of the Land bridge and uce free corridor is being overshadowed by a sea coast immigration along the West coast. There is a village dated 14,000 Years Before Present at the southern tip of South America.
'Baldrick' becomes GSO1, striding from a A'Romer returns.
The archeology is so freakin' rich in Briton!
Britain is a place. Britons are people.
Erhmm... Three days? 1:29 Yep.
My trench is full of chickens!
My hovercraft...
Tyquan vs raihan wish me luck
Oh those chickens!
Wow striking resemblance in the eyes they look related
Just everything starts getting really interesting, your out of tima!
The pigs have become archeologists. Ok. K
it almost seems that you can just dig anywhere in the UK, esp England, and find a historical relic or something! I know it isn't really like that, look at all the dead end trenches TT digs, but Really! Just pick a spot to dig!
31:37 I thought there was a hair on my screen...
When there are bones to be dug, Jackie usually shows up.
Who knows, what that piece of music is at 37:36?
Leave it open
Mike Parker Pearson before has became consumed by Stonehenge.
He's one of my favorites to listen to he just has such a relaxed way about him
I really like him. Hope he’s doing well.
37:31 ...... why is that not a step ....... keep digging
Ain’t nobody here but us chickens 🐓😁
This thumbnail deserves a 'thumbnail oscar' 😂
why are they only aloud 3 days? i never understood that
It was a hook they made for a TV production, it adds drama but also helps incorporate a production timetable. They are looking to bring the Series back but now with the advent of other outlets for content (youtube, patreon, etc) they are looking at longer projects that would run the course of a full dig season or join in on long term research projects from time to time.
Also bear in mind that the professionals are employed at universities or firms so this is a secondary gig for them. Time Team is not their primary employment.
To keep us on our toes!
In addition, that’s the way Mick Aston planned the series, plain and simple. Their goal is exploratory, survey archaeology- finding out the nature of a site to identify whether it merits further excavation by local archaeological councils, for instance. They’re not there to completely excavate a site- that’s not the goal. One reason for that is that Channel 4 was paying the costs for each dig; all of that is not cheap, even though the archaeologists donated their time. In fact, in the last analysis, C4 funded more British archaeological digs by way of *Time Team* than all the UK universities put together. Shorter digs funded= more digs to fund.
"What the F$%K"?! -Arnold Ziffel lll
I see what you did there👍🏼
@@firehorse2008 🤫🤪🤓😇
BRAVO !
If I had seen these videos, back in the 70's when in high school, I would have done two things. Start digging up the ground everywhere around Quincy WA, and have gone in to Archology, Geology, which I love as well. Don't look up Quincy WA please...
Baldrick?
I was worried for a moment that we werent going to see Tony Robinson, who is so much better than the stiff self-important awkward presentaters we see so often.
It has been a real treat to watch Tony grow into his role on Time Team. He grew so much in stature as he learned what was happening over the years. He is probably a pretty good arciologist .
I liked Dan Snow in the bomber better.
Romans must have had way more stuff than the previous and later civilization in Britain, they left a lot of artifacts behind.
They built in stone, which survives time far better than wood.
If you want to skip the lens-grabbing nobody and get straight to the actual program, skip to 2:11.
Royalty’s?..
Mounds?..
Thank you pigs
I knew those chickens would love them diggi g a trench. Lets them get to the worms and bugs.
Damn that farmer is such a STUD!
Hmmm interesting (jk i didn't watch it yet lol)
Think I've seen this before👀💁
@@amyrios5548 Could be. I think this is an old Time Team episode from way back.
Why 3 days? What is forcing your 3-day limit?
one week schedule of shooting episodes, if you have a 5-day work week, one day is arrival, 3 days filming, one day of wrap-up
@@theorganguy Thanks. Is fhe weekly cycle itself driven by financial requirements of, say, the production company, network, or distributor? Just seems as though some of your projects would benefit disproportionately from another day or three. I mean, you're alredy there, an everyone is all set up and in the groove, hot on the trail of promising evidence, but, hey, folks, it's Thursday afternoon, so pack it up. However it works, though, I'd like to offer my boundless thanks for all your work.
@@islandtimekeeper858 ....eerrm... I'm not part of the production team, just another viewer making an educated guess. The weekly is driven by having to make x-amount of Episodes per season.
@@islandtimekeeper858 I think it's basically that this isn't their full time jobs. They do this on their weekends.
The field archeologists are fulltime university lecturers and work on their own longtime digs, hence the 3day time limit which they do during the weekend. This dig had already been explored however no dating was done at the time so TT are there by invitation of the farmer to try and find archeological evidence to date any finds and the burials.
@ 3015 into the video when Tony Tony says something like “it was from this burial yesterday that I skillfully excavated this complete new (something something) beaker…” He attempted to rush and tried banging the 1700 years lodged dry as the bones it was next to dirt from the top potentially shattering it and then the hippy shook it and seriously thought there was something inside the dirt filled and dirt encrusted beaker that had been buried in dirt for 1700 years and never did it cross his mind that it was just dirt in the beaker, and said dirt washer stuck between the bottom and the dirt lodged in the top lmao.
Those new forestware beakers or any grave beaker often contain something, often foodstuffs we can only find traces of so even the dirt inside can be valuable to see what was inside when it was placed in the grave. However some burial vessels contain coins or other small artefacts, so he probably just got excited something might be in there.
Like all these videos very much, who no hair trims ever?...
Archeologists even seem to need shovels for fingernails...
Get it Tony!
I’m guessing sites like these are found in Europe often because I don’t understand why they were in such rush to dig this up or why they didn’t seem that interested in what they were finding.
Sites like these are everywhere.
The schedule was fast because production and labor are expensive.
Yeah I imagine it costs a ton of money to do these digs so they only have a limited time to dig. I'm sure they'd love to spend weeks on each dig
Look same
Wait so "timeline" is a channel that replays episodes of old history based tv shows.... Why not just put Time Team on UA-cam?
The Bob's: "What exactly would you say you do hear???"
They do have two Time Team channels
The official Time Team Channel:
m.ua-cam.com/users/TimeTeamOfficial
And Time Team Classics (mostly the videos as the official page)
m.ua-cam.com/users/TimeTeamClassics
Quick somebody do another "like" I'm on 666
All this "we've got only three days" bs is really annoying! (not only because it deducts up to 10% of the show) Why not do a "we've got five minutes to dig" show? That would also leave a lot more time for those infamous speculations! (Don't get me wrong.... I still give it a thumbs up as it is part of the the top 1% on TV.... but it wouldn't take a lot of brains to make it excellent - especially with "Baldrick" as such a loveable presenter.)
👍👌😳😊
I cannot figure out why they have only 3 days to find anything. ????
The main people were professionals with teaching assignments, some with research grants etc. These digs were done on self made long weekends i.e. take Friday off and dig through to Sunday before returning back to work or school. Many diggers were students and most I believe volunteers.
@@andrewmarcinov4289 I just posted basically the same answer to someone else. It appears that a lot of new people have started watching.
Also, because Mick Aston planned it that way. Their goal is survey/ exploration digs, not completely excavating the entire site.
First..winner.
Yep.
Spoiler alert: they found more pigs.
💕👍
Chickens dig archeology!
So Britain was a better place to be when the Romans ruled? New admiration for the difficulty of living on an island and being invaded.
tony dug in even though helen's trench was fully exposed
Pig Doo Doo?
No Helen, no upvote. ☹️

Surprise! Yet another Roman building discovered in England.....is it the Time team only interested in that stuff?
I am follower of GAIA..you guyz...stopped it ok....
Stop Spam Dan! I will never watch History Hits because of this SPAM!
OA
The team wasn't called timeline it was called Time Team. And you are ripping off their videos for your profit.
@@jimnorthland2903 Jim the Timeline people are not the Time Team people. They are people who put a few comments on top of Time Team episodes and claim they are theirs and get advertising revenue doing it! That is stealing.
@@jimnorthland2903 I felt so bad for making you feel that I was being mean that I went back and looked at this again and I'm I'm not wrong. ❤️ Thank you for your last comment! I don't want to be mean I just want to say the truth.
They have rebranded it but they seem to have licensed the rights now. Everybody knows were the original content is from.
@@classiccomedycinemaprogram1640 I think you might be wrong about that. I was recently contacted by time team original on patreon who are the remnants of the original folks and the only ones who own the original content. Obviously they know they're being ripped off. They are starting a new time team group where folks contribute to them via patreon and then they are funded to go out on new digs.
@@wendywhite2642 That would be a surprise because Timeline are a big channel and for them to publish something without having the right to do so wouldn't make business sense. Also it can be easily blocked by the copyright holder (It happens all the time to me when I just upload a reaction video). That would be brilliant news if they are getting new digs together😊.
What are you trying to proved.....just sayin...im from phil...
Second!
