    The banter between Phil and Ian ( the JCB operator) is priceless. Ian has noticed many features that the diggers had not seen. The combination of a brilliant swing shovel operator with an acute observational skillset was underrated addition to Time Teams success.

    • @RubenKelevra
      @RubenKelevra 4 роки тому +7

      Well, I think what they meant is that previously high carbon steel was readily available, and with rediscovered furnace techniques they are now able to do low carbon steel of consistent quality - like they're used to around 2000 years ago already.
      So when you compare cast iron to steel, steel is much more pure than cast iron.

Mick was working with Bristol Uni. for most of the shows run, after he left Bristol he was still active in a lot of archaeological digs and studies till the day he died. Carenza worked for various universities and archaeological societies and trusts over the course of her time on the show. You will find similar stories for all of the people involved with the show. They could only spare the time for a few days of exploratory excavations. On top of that there is also the funding for the show, the production company simply can not afford the costs to have more than an exploratory excavation of a few days to see what is there, several of the sites on time team did get full excavations later.

    At 6:45 a gross error of fact. "Steel is a much purer form of iron". NO IT IS NOT. Iron is the element. That is where "purity" comes from in steel making. Steel is an alloy of iron, always containing some carbon and other metals depending on what the steel is wanted for. The simplest steels are iron (Fe) alloyed with carbon (C) (about 0.1% to 1%, depending on type). Additional elements are what give the steel its strength and ability to take a lasting "edge". GET IT RIGHT, CHAPS! For a simple look, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy_steel
