@@rebeccatopken6532 Yes, but the problem is that there is too much. You can't build the Metro, because there are ancient underground cities. I live in Tuscany near Pisa and Florence, it's a big problem to build houses, in the garden in front of my house they were digging to build a hotel, and they found two Roman ships. As you start a construction site you have to stop it. But of course it's great to live surrounded by history. Ciao Ciao
@@Matteobaria75 holy smokes! 2 ships! Can understand the frustration. I guess it is easier for me to be in awe of the antiquities since I live in the U. S.. We dont have the same kind of antiquities or the age.
I have, 220 episodes, it is an education. After that I spent 2 weeks on digs on a nearby site. One was a search for a graveyard but amongst other things I dug up the midden of a high status, early house, ca 1625. The other was exploring the garden of a mansion built 125 years later about 1750. Both in Newfoundland.
I loved the British Isles and I love archeology, so Time Team is a natural for me. I don’t think now that I will be able to visit the UK in this lifetime (I am holding out hope for the next one), but these shows and other BBC and ITV productions let me visit. I love seeing the green grass and shrubs and trees. I love the blue, blue sky; the beautiful clouds; and, yes, even the pouring rain. Thank you Time Team.
@@EducationProfessional-pc6ep i'd like more digs for possible viking sites from the first landing, although thats enormously difficult and in Canada lmao
Always thought Phil Harding was there for comic relief, but the more of these I watch the more I realise what an incredible archaeologist he is. A true master.
I've actually been to this site. It is amazing and you can walk through much of the areas they are shown working. It was a whole day between the museum and excavated for area. Wonderful part of my trip.
Many people dont appreciate history. This needs more views. Millions more actually. Not only its educating but there are a lot of things to learn from history. Though I find some viral videos entertaining, I don't learn anything from it. Just amusing. I used to dislike history like a bad vegetable. As I got older, I now actually like what my history teacher taught me back in MS and HS. Thanks Ms. Montgomery!
@@gryph01 They lost Mick when Mary ann was added he didnt want that, and indeed not long after he passed away, i think time team did one season with Mary ann which if i have to guess was season 20? then it was shut down.
@@Sarge80 I looked it up. Mick wanted to leave the show because he felt that they were getting too far away from Archeology. Mick passed away and the show was cancelled. Other than the one show in 2014. I am happy to see they are revamping the show. I wish that Tony and Phil would come back on. But maybe new people will make it good.
@@gryph01 Agreed, i liked the time team seasons especially phil's humor, it was good while it lasted. Phil was my favorite but also Stewart what he could find out by just looking around was amazing.
@@Sarge80 Apparently, Stuart Ainsworth (and Helen Geake) were becoming increasingly sidelined, along with Victor Ambrus in later seasons. Likely that all came in line with the format for the show changing due to the shows ratings falling, much to Micks displeasure, which the below quote (from the Western Daily Press) alludes to. "There is a lot less archaeological content and a lot more pratting about. I was the archaeological consultant but they decided to get rid of half the archaeological team, without consulting me.” I can certainly appreciate why Mick wasn't pleased, particularly given how much he poured into the show from its beginning, and indeed its predecessor "Time Signs".
IMHO, Tony is the best historical documentarian of my lifetime and the time team is brilliant. The teams dynamics are fantastic and while Steve Irwin was the best wildlife documentarian in my lifetime, the historical category easily goes to Tony.
That building in the courtyard seems most likely to me to be a high-security site for storing valuable cargo or other theft-prone items like soldiers’ wages and anything else needing guarding, perhaps even some food supplies. The courtyard would be in open view of soldiers by day, possibly boosted with guard dogs or geese to raise an intrusion alarm at night. It would be protected on all sides and from tunneling below. With sturdy construction and organized guard rotations, it would be next to impenetrable. Given the strategic site and isolation of the fort and the uncertain times in which it existed, security would be at a premium.
It strikes me the excavators are overlooking the obvious. What do you have when you build commercial docks? Warehouses. I believe that barges would unload and goods be tied up or stacked in temporary storage in the 'cubicles' around the dirt courtyard. Buyers would come and negotiate purchases and payments be made under the watchful eye of officialdom, at least security from soldiers but possibly banking operations as well. The wooden structure that Phil's been excavating would be the 'block house' for the guards and possibly tax man to collect their lb of flesh (not literally). A large military establishment like this would be a huge opportunity for local agricultural products. An army marches on it's stomach but they don't grow much, if anything. They buy it from local suppliers, in this case probably delivered by barge from long distances away. The docks would have been a very high traffic area with produce and meat on the hoof being delivered daily. This place would have been as busy as a Wall2wallMart (ASDA?).
True, the Romans had fast food every day unless rich; they were not able to farm even for Rome enough and shipped it in; a very big consumer state.....
Me too. I kept missing the opportunity to join a dig in Southampton, Ontario. We found two ships on the beach. I remember seeing the spars of the ship as a kid. Then we discovered it was a ship. They found a cannon and eventually identified one if the ships was the Weasel. A ship thst was recorded as lost before the town was settled.
But the rest of the team in their posh hotel rooms, probably woke up, took a nice hot shower, had a proper English breakfast. I'd say Matt and Raksha got the short end by simply bringing them a sandwich lol.
I can see now what Mick meant when he said they stopped focusing solely on archaeology. That legionary part of this show had nothing to do with the dig at all, yes it's a Roman dig, but time team was supposed to be about the site & re-creating it.
An American goes into bar in Scotland and sees two heavy set ladies. He approaches and asks, are you two ladies from Scotland? They reply, Wales, it’s Wales. So he says okay Are you two Wales from Scotland?
I live in the U.S. and was all set to visit Caerleon when COVID hit in 2020 and my trip wound up being cancelled. I really am wanting to get there as soon as I can.
Sorry to hear that. I hope you get there soon. I need to spend some good quality time in the UK. I'm Canadian, but I have relatives still in the UK. We have lost contact with them. So, while visiting all the things I want to see, I want to spend some time in Kent and Manchester to find my cousins.
You English folks have some great history and great shows that cover said history thank you in my older years I’m so fascinated with all history I like my local history I live in the Boston area of Massachusetts
I think the complex was a warehouse - if they were sending materials on to other forts, it stands to reason they'd have to safely store large quantities for periods of time, and the main complex didn't do that.
LOL Jody. The UK is interesting because of the old history there. But don't discount NM. There is tons of history there. First Nations settlements, Spanish rule, Mexican rule. Check local news or social media sites. You might find an opportunity to dig a local site and learn new about your area. Here in Southern Ontario, we discovered two ships washed up on a beach in Southampton and an Iroquian village near London. Both sites were a surprise.
Very likely I'd say. You could have an equestrian unit crest, a Bear cohort, a Lion cohort, or maybe the unit crest of different legions that passed through.
31:54 "Stonking-great pipe"...I thought it was "Zonking-great". Is it anything goes-great when it comes to these terms? I've heard Huge-great, Large-great, Big-great, Whacking-great, just about every great except Great-great.
Having just binge watched The Last Kingdom set in the 9th century, I became increasingly aware that early medieval warfare ( as depicted) lacked siege engines. It seems strange to me, given the engineering triumphs of Viking ship building. Obviously building a Roman era siege engine relied on skills endemic to the Roman army, but they are skills that are fundamental to building anything before the industrial revolution. Its difficult to see these skills dying out among the general population, particularly since the Britains did not stop playing Romans the moment England was cut loose in the mid fifth century.
AS a Finnish person, it always strikes me, that if you dig where ever on that tiny island you find something, Romans, Vikings, sa xons or Normanns etc. here in Finland only Ironage. But we do have Kalevala poems, witch JRR Tolkien stole and wrote Lord of the Rings thrilogy. Be happy!
First of all: That's just typical, you get an interesting documentary on something truly amazing, and the most remarkable thing for you folks are those ladies. Second: I do agree though.

@44:10 That "flood" came from tsunami waves - this is why there's broken pottery all over the landscape ... this is also why on some sites the 17th century pottery is found under the 13th century pottery.
Thanks. My family’s Nemetes history goes back to times of the Roman Republic, and some of our Celtic Tribe served as Native Auxiliaries to Legio II Augusta. Renowned mounted axemen, family lore has it that we fought on BOTH sides, in the Teutoburg forest: under Tribune Quinctilius Varus on the one hand, and Cheruskan Dux Belli Germanus, on the other. The aspect is not mentioned in this documentary, but these extended excavations of structures southeastward from the known base, barracks, administration of the core of the Second in Britannia; their obviously pragmatic, utilitarian layout, and their separation, tell me something. The elite Legion kept itself mostly aloof from the important tag-alongs of merchantry and “native auxiliaries”! Remember that this was a main supply and trading port for Rome’s presence in Britain. Not just supply and replenishment, but also exploitation of the colony: lumber, ore, coal, plunder, etc. I wonder if they’ll decide; “This was the Harbor Master’s Office, that the Liaison’s.” (And the main Tavern. And the oldest trade of all, the bordello!) The huge market square may yield the most interesting small finds of all, where people mixed. And in off hours, probably the training field for the auxiliary troops.
Watching this is like going going through the cupboard doors. Open up and there they were Romans or Saxons or Neolithics. If you have to go you return through the doors back to your own world.
As an Italian, I did not expect that there would be such beautiful Roman remains in Wales. Absolutely magnificent.

The elite Legion kept itself mostly aloof from the important tag-alongs of merchantry and “native auxiliaries”!
Remember that this was a main supply and trading port for Rome’s presence in Britain. Not just supply and replenishment, but also exploitation of the colony: lumber, ore, coal, plunder, etc.
I wonder if they’ll decide; “This was the Harbor Master’s Office, that the Liaison’s.” (And the main Tavern. And the oldest trade of all, the bordello!)
The huge market square may yield the most interesting small finds of all, where people mixed. And in off hours, probably the training field for the auxiliary troops.
Interesting, thanks!
nothis is more dazzling than gold jewelry, hairpieces, masks, even decorated weaponry!
Which episode is this?
Code TIMELINE is not working for me.
Obvious, it's an in-processing/Staging/assignments building for personnel and materials coming and going.
That's kinda what I was thinking.
Love all things archeology and history. But dude, how tight are those pants?
Watching this is like going going through the cupboard doors. Open up and there they were Romans or Saxons or Neolithics. If you have to go you return through the doors back to your own world.

Apparently, the Romans really liked it up the Usk.
This is one year light but I was just wondering about the toilet and sanitation facilities in the archaeology camping area
There had to be some portable loo’s and running water of some kind at the site or very close by.
Funny the man was amused by Tonys comments
Was here October 2020
