    What is interesting in these early episodes is the lack of trust of the "officials" towards the TV team. I had heard this before from a team member that they were treated as a sideshow that made a mockery of archaeology by doing their three day digs for the camera. By the end of the series, the same officials were queuing up to be on the show.

      Archeology has always been shrouded in mystery, and supposition. Television brings clarity to millions of TV viewers to what's happening. Make no mistake, its the viewers tax paying $$ that wants accountability to where the money is being spent and why.

    This episode was just crying out for Stewart Ainsworth and his reading of the local roads and their access to major Roman roads, his reading the 'lumps and bumps' and what they mean and going up in the helicopter to give his view on what any crop marks may mean. And his interterpritation of the structure could be and his thoughts on its siting in the general area, and if old field boundries can tell us anything about the mystery building.

I've just seen a closeup, and as I suspected they're enormous dandelions! They are absolutely the biggest healthiest dandelions I have ever seen. As a gardener I'm often amazed when watching the Time Team's diggers doing what they clearly love, at the fine and beautiful richness of the English soil. It looks as though the "rockiness" is most often attributable to the "archeology" it contains. Nice dirt! What a wonderful show. I find it especially fun whenever the locals and children can be involved. I bet it's made an indelible impression on many lives, and I've often wondered how many archeologists were produced as a direct result of the show coming to town.

      Actually, few are English, save Phil on Time Team (this fact came from a DNA test he did on another later show), as the greater % of population are Anglo Saxon, aka Germanics.
      I share this with you as I too am an American, a very Irish American that happens to have a couple of my Degrees in the general subject and a personal desire for my own heritage History + an ongoing Researcher in Ancient History resulted in my awareness of this lesser know info that I share with you.
      The early English, like the Welsh and Irish were of Basque Lineage. Later invasions left the Gene pool noticeably low in English Male (Paternal Chromosomes) While the Maternal held and has a more expected influence of Anglo Saxon influence.
      The data and references are also careful not to use the reference "ethnic cleansing", but the numbers sure speak to that potential.
      These facts like most Research of History related subjects, come with a variety of "Roots" some call "Rabbit Holes", and those threaten the "Mainstream Academia's" "Story", which is why it remains obscure.
      I, being more of an "Authentic and Traditional Academic Standard" set aside the ,Mainstream's 19th Century based Paradigm" aka "Darwinian Theory applied as if proven fact", and I continue my Research following the "Standards of Science and Research" (which forbids holding a Belief, Theory, or Opinion, that can interfere with the greater facts emerging). Their entire Story and Timeline is fixed to that Theory and as Genetics/DNA testing and studies proceed, the entire "House of Cards" will eventually come down, as the current data findings continues to go in another direction. (We Modern Humans Evolve, but the Theory doesn't fit our facts).
      I could write a book, but for the value intended here, this clarity a worthy highlight of knowing.
      I find iit interesting when applied to the Time Team and other Documantary Programs I watch.
      BTW, the whole Egyptian Story by Mainstream is highly off track, which is why there remains so many questions using their Story. When the more accurate facts are applied, the blurry effect begains to disappear, and quickly.
      Cognitative Dissonance is a subject that can be applied to the results of having the greater facts, and that is also why the information is slow to leak through to the Public.
      No worries, facts are present whether we know them or not and the facts I'm aware of offer far more positive value than any point one might fear.
      There is absolutely no valid reason for any fears on this or any subject, its merely a useful tool for Media and Power Controls.
      The real facts are far more exciting and offer the individual infinite desired potentials. They also prove "there was/is a Creator Source behind all that is of our 3D Being and Univers", though I would not attempt to define this in any Religion based statement, Spiritual, but not Religion.
      The Show with Phil's DNA is one of the more recent. He has a far more Ancient Maternal (Female) genetic lineage than the Queen (who is of Germanic lineage and that of a Semitic value, actually "Abraham" , which she acknowledged.)
      In closing, I've far more to discover, but I will say, that which is contributed to Myth, is not to be ignored, and my statement, should it be asked, would be as follows:
      "The Mainstream Academics, particularly the Archaeologists, continue to try to put Cinderella's Shoe on Drucella's Foot". - and - "The Mainstream Archaeologists will to prove to be the Myth Makers".

I'd normally associate an apse with church architecture, but because Carenza and the others seemed so excited about it, I wonder if it has some other significance in a late Roman context. Does it mean it's a palace? Or is a sign of "high status"? Or something religous, like a temple? Were temples built with apses?

    I'm glad that as the series progressed you can see not only how Time Team itself, but the archaeological world in general changed its attitude about scheduling sites. Though I do believe sites should be scheduled, the attitude that was prevalent when this series started, namely that sites should if at all possible be conserved for some future archaeologist with even better technology, was slowly modified and made more reasonable. While it's true that future archaeologists may indeed have better technology than we do presently, but to refuse to take the opportunity to learn what we can now on any part of the site is a risk. Sites are always at risk of destruction.

      My take on the dynamics of scheduling as presented in the program (showing concretely how archaeological law affects the individual) is that there likely only so much money, always limited, to investigate and develop a site in England. Of course, the landowner must be compensated. But I suspect that a farmer often does not want the intrusion of the archaeological authorities. I think that explains the tension in the scene on the part of yeoman, farmer Barnes (currently at ~12:30) meeting with the Oxford expert, Henig. You can almost see him (Barnes) thinking to himself that he's now lost the freedom to use his land in the way he wants.
      I'm not taking one side or the other -- although personally I prefer the preservation of sites over inconvenience to any one individual. This program could be entitled "Archaeological Bureaucrat Meets Yeoman Farmer."
      Again, whatever the name of the Time Team program, its substance is quite appealing, for it ultimately celebrates the people of England by honoring their marvelous history (be it Paleolithic or Saxon or Roman). Live on Time Team! Thank you for posting.

      @@abogadojon I'm not against scheduling as such, more about how it was practiced archaeologically sometimes. For a period there was this constant feeling that sites should almost be preserved intact for some mythical future archaeologist with better technology to dig them. The only problem is that sites are not only lost despite scheduling, but sometimes are not what we think and the only way we really know is to dig. Moreover, some of that I think was reaction to realizing just how much our improvement in technology in recent decades increased what we were learning from sites. Archaeologists became all too self-aware, and in light of the early history of archaeology (a lot of lost knowledge due to their ideas then) that is still a legacy now, I think what happened became a reaction to the past. We need to more about what we can currently learn, and leave enough of any site intact so that it can also be dug later as technology and knowledge improves. That way we know what we are scheduling far more precisely, and will have better questions of any site on return. I think that TT actually helped to prove this point over the years.

      @@a.westenholz4032 I agree. A future landowner could unknowingly or deliberately use "deep ploughing" and wreck the place before anyone from EH knows about it. It wouldn't be the first time it's happened. There was a scheduled building in Sydney that a developer couldn't bulldoze for a new development. So he did anyway. He was fined but still made a bucket of money on the development.

      Well, yes and no. I'm an archaeologist and while less is more in this case, you can't claim a site is of national significance without doing a Phase 1 assessment. Even just doing geo work isn't good enough; here in the US, we'd do shovel testing on transects and then, if warranted after artifact analysis, test pits would be put in in places where they would produce the best results. From there, re-assessments would be made. It's a bit different in the UK since on a site like this, they wouldn't shovel test - and on most sites that they think have been disturbed by farming, they'd drop in larger treanches right away, using the geo information as a guide. So, Carenza is both right and wrong in this case.

    A lot of people complaining about the red tape aren't taking the ideas behind modern archeology into account. When you excavate a site, you destroy it. Once it has been dug it can't be dug again. When a site is discovered now they attempt to do as little possible damage to it. To preserve it for posterity but also because we recognize that techniques will improve in the future. So much information that could easily be found out today has been permanently lost by earlier, clumsier excavations. Much of it, even into the 20th century, was little more than treasure hunting.
    The bits and pieces they used to discard back then are incredibly valuable to science. Even the soil around an object can give us information. That's all been learned in the past 70 years or so. How much more will we be able to do later? By preserving these sites we preserve the information they contain to be discovered at a later date. Pompeii has been under excavations for hundreds of years and still has a lot more sites to dig but we don't. Not all at once and only when a really good hypothesis exists that necessitates reopening a site.
    I would be cool to dig it all up and see all the walls but we'd loose so much in doing so all at once. I hope people reading this understand the processes and ideas a bit better.
