Mainly just keep doing what you're already doing. I like clicking on these videos knowing there will be things in there I didn't know I would be interested in! However if any information comes in regarding further work at old dig sites, especially from the 'classics', I'd love to hear the updates.
Any 11th to 14th Century archaeology conducted in Yorkshire, especially around Sowerby and Bradford UK. I have traced my paternal geneology to that area and can't find much except marriage/baptismal records and graves of my ancestors in that region. I would like to learn more about the culture and everyday lives of the residents in western Yorkshire during the early medieval period. Thank you!
After 20+ years of work at the Ness of Brodgar, this year marked the last for excavations there. Now starts years of post-ex work. I'd like to see and interview with Nick Card on what they've so far learned, and what they hope the for the future of the Ness.
I think a show like this is a great idea. I know you can't always be doing a dig. But people love to hear some news and you already have a great crew. Keep it up 👍🌹
I absolutely love these regular updates that feature recent work / discoveries. Thank you Dani and TT, and all the contributing archaeologists & historians. The smiles & enthusiasm you have sharing your finds are wonderful to see
I love the enthusiasm of the news. I once found a small pice of etruscian pottery laying on the ground soil and it made me so happy. Best feeling ever.
I’m thrilled that TT and the other groups involved in the Band of Brothers dig were able to find Otto May’s grandchildren and learn more about him. I remember the look of pure joy when the head of the dig was handed May’s dog tag that had lain under the Quonset hut’s floor for decades. Otto’s story was the icing on the cake!
I watched all the old Time Team episodes during the Covid lockdown. It was a wonderful way to see various parts of the beautiful British countryside when we weren't allowed to travel. Plus of course, it's a really interesting and entertaining programme. 😊
I’ve followed time team for ages. Sadly, I didn’t follow my childhood dream of going into archeology. I am so grateful for all of you and what you share about your digs. Thank you - my total respect sent to you all.
Thanks Dani and TimeTeam crew. Yes you too behind the scenes Crew. So appreciate all we see and hear all Thanks to those of you behind the scenes. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Another great Time Team News! I love these so much. Dani and all the crew and guests do an amazing job. I particularly love when you continue to follow big, developing stories.
Arthur's Hall is a curiosity. First I think that someone like Stewart Ainsworth would need to give the area a serious look to see if there might of been a geologic or natural reason for a rectangle construction. Since land was being carved up at the time the "Hall" was around it would help to know if it was in the middle of a section or on a boundary. Do you know what the floor elevation is as compared to the surrounding land? From the image at 2:35 in the video it resembles a manmade pool or pond. Not saying that's what it is just that at first glance from that angle it resembles it. A meeting house or community Defense platform is probably closer to what it was.
I do think you mean Stewart Ainsworth, about the best 'Lumps and Bumps' man seen on Time Team. And so good in discovering what sites were, and why they were there in that place in the general landscape. I did think he was some kind of a genius.
@@nevillemignot1681 Thanks for the correction of Stewart's name. Yes, I was quite impressed by some of the things he gleaned from some of TT's dig sites.
King Arthur's hall looks to be the shape of a barow perhaps it is an unfinished abandoned barrow foundation. Who is to say that all projects are completed?
Why no mention of the key element Water ? The centre within the stones is sunken 1.2 m deep and has several founts of a rising spring .Thus ceremonial linked with water .Healing waters .Serving waters . I was one of the group TimeSeekers, who instigated the whole project, and was a volunteer all through the dig . Water is key .
Hi, we couldn't include it all here, but we have an extended version of our chat with James coming up on Patreon that shares a few additional insights on the context and potential function. Thanks for your work in shedding new light on this fascinating monument!
I look maps, and see that there is two stone circles very close in King Arthur's Hall. About 2,5 Km. One north side and one south side of monument. East side is also one circle, but longer distance. I wonder if they are connected some way with King Arthur's Hall?
King Arthur's Hall. I'm pitching it had multiple functions. A place of shelter in bad weather, defensible, a meeting place. But the lack of an entrance doesn't work for me when people define it as ceremonial.
Hi. I'm curious on whether geo-phys shows other structures around King Arthur's Hall and whether there was a settlement nearby? Great job guys! Love hearing about these updates
Interesting stuff! Feel a little sorry for the poor guys sitting on the ground gently scraping tiny amounts of earth by hand in full top-to-toe high visibility clothing, protective glasses and an effing helmet.
really enjoyed this video, it's clear there's a lot of passion behind the research! however, i can't help but wonder if the whole idea of finding “Britain's oldest spade” might be a bit overhyped. i mean, does it really change our understanding of the past that much? just a thought!
No! I have the oldest spade. It has had 992 handles and 301 blades, but it is still the oldest! Thank you, Trigger! Sorry! That was impossible to resist. Well, by me at any rate!
Tap water? Surely rain water would be a healthier option for washing and soaking the wooden spade? Less chemicals than tap water and closer to what's kept it moist and preserved so long already.
As for the Bodmin Moor excavation pointing at the North Star, I don't buy that. Sites that are linked with the sun and moon, ok, there's only one of those each but an individual star, no sorry that for me is a stretch to far.
What happens to things that don't fit into you records like when you see stegosaurus carved in rock l think its at Angkor wat how is it this sort of thing is never talked about and the same with all other out of place objects
Found lady of the lake on a Google search not a sprite but a landmark with a beautiful ladies face on it have tried to get onto Tony's management but they obviously don't believe me please contract me this is 100 percent true found it over two years ago nobody believes me not quite as mythical as you think
What would you like us to cover next on Time Team News? Let us know in the comments.
Please include an article on the search for treasure on Oak Island, Nova Scotia.

Regarding the Bronze Age spade I immediately thought about how Phil Harding would have reacted to the discovery. He does love his spade! 😂
Me too. I came to the comment section to ask if anyone had asked Phil if he'd lost his spade😂
@@Tiger89Lilly it is in Wessex so it"s probably his childhood spade

Thanks time team! I truly enjoy these news programs.
This gets better and better.
Time Team is AWESOME.
What an amazing name for a really interesting archaeologist - Mr. Treasure!
OOoo...this is quickly becoming just as good as TT, itself!!
Thank you so much, so enjoyable and interesting doesn’t really cover it! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
🇨🇦A fascinating video, as usual, always the best from Time Team❣️ The wooden spade was my favourite.
Fabulous and fascinating as always.
Arthur's Hall may be a community building/structure for non-religious events, like games, parties, cattle sales, etc...

Love this thread today!
Ed Treasure? Brilliant name for an archaeologist!!
AWESOMENESS ❤TIME TEAM❤
Had to research Prehistoric Tour Enclosure, fascinating.
Angkor Watt is just mind blowing!

Hello everyone from 🇨🇦
I look maps, and see that there is two stone circles very close in King Arthur's Hall. About 2,5 Km. One north side and one south side of monument.
East side is also one circle, but longer distance. I wonder if they are connected some way with King Arthur's Hall?
I like your flannel🤗❤️

The finding of the spade was extraordinary but I seem to remember the finding of a club some time ago and an even older diamond. Suits. lol
Hi. I'm curious on whether geo-phys shows other structures around King Arthur's Hall and whether there was a settlement nearby? Great job guys! Love hearing about these updates
Ed Treasure 😅 What a perfect name for his job
What do you think the original function of King Arthur's Hall was? Let us know below
Ceremony involving Water and the Cosmos above .😊
It's perfectly located to observe (and measure!) the summer & winter solstice and equinox sunrises against adjacent surrounding tors.
Fish pond.
First pasty factory
Sir Lemmy 👍
..Thank you all
Interesting stuff! Feel a little sorry for the poor guys sitting on the ground gently scraping tiny amounts of earth by hand in full top-to-toe high visibility clothing, protective glasses and an effing helmet.
For US history, try A History of Boston in 50 Artifacts, by the city's archaeologist.
Wow, I didn't even know Keith Richards had a spade. Are you guys going to return it to him?
😂
Its a Prehistoric temple, like Stone Age
really enjoyed this video, it's clear there's a lot of passion behind the research! however, i can't help but wonder if the whole idea of finding “Britain's oldest spade” might be a bit overhyped. i mean, does it really change our understanding of the past that much? just a thought!
Does King Arthur's Hall bear any comparison to West Kennet Long Barrow?
No! I have the oldest spade.
It has had 992 handles and 301 blades, but it is still the oldest! Thank you, Trigger!
Sorry! That was impossible to resist. Well, by me at any rate!
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that too. 😂
King Arthur's 'castle': I didn't hear anything about the dating evidence..?
Was there a mistake on the dog tag you found? May have had corrected dog tag issued.
Hi, this is discussed further in the extended interview, which is available to watch for free now on Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/TimeTeamOfficial
Are you sure it's not Phil's first spade?
Definitely thought the thumbnail looked like she had a large hand that was giving the middle finger lmao
Tap water? Surely rain water would be a healthier option for washing and soaking the wooden spade? Less chemicals than tap water and closer to what's kept it moist and preserved so long already.
You forgot to mention the knife handle was recovered 20 years ago.
The Time Team Podcast explained that (they had more time I guess)
I wish TT would bring back Tony Robinson as permanent presenter.
My vote is for football pitch
Did anyone else think "spade? That's a pizza shovel!!" 😂
I can't help thinking a wooden spade wouldn't be very practical... Would it not make more sense if it were a very old paddle for a canoe or coracle?
I’ve never understood why the use of drones isn’t more prominent in finding more archeological sites.
King Arthurs Hall? How about the exchange of DNA between far flung villages for one thing?
when did the so callled king arturs ha;lll fall out of use.
Well we know that that isnt Authurs hall - Thats Cadbury Castle
Please, please, please can you at least turn of the music when someone is speaking.
Please stop with the click bait titles, very annoying

King Arthur's Hall? I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens. jk
If you don't know a corporals two strips to a Sargent's three strips somebody doesn't have any knowledge of anything military.

They believed Cornwall existed as it appeared on ancient maps. But now there is proof this is fascinating.
What?!!!
