It would have been incredible to see England during the height of the Roman occupation. How cool would that be? Imagine the workmanship, knowing that everything you are witnessing was produced by hand from the smallest textile to the most ornate temple. NOTHING was built in a factory or by a machine and everything was either imported from elsewhere in the empire at great expense by cart and ship, or produced on site by artisans. The lay of the roman roads, the forts and outposts, the cities we know today, seen as villages and small towns. I'd love to get a glimpse of how it actually was, what life was like for a citizen back then... the smells, the sounds, the pace of life.
Certain things are best made by mass production. Examples would be nails, paint, bricks or mechanical components. Modern homes should have a mixture of mass produced and craft items. The real problem with our world is the lack of true design principles.
They are not friends of mine! Recently had to beat one to death with a baseball bat. Opened my front door to let my cat out and found a damn snake slithering on top of my storm door. It made the fatal mistake of striking at my face with it's mouth open. I grabbed the baseball bat I keep beside my door and pulverized the damned thing.
Protected woodlands are not just left over unused forest. As on the continent trees that were cut down on a farm were replaced with 2 bew trees in OLD TIMES. to supply their own needs. Modern deforestation has a LOT to answer for
those ditches... if they traverse perpendicular to the slope they could be what is called swales.... a system for catching runoff water from the hill....
Some years ago I did some volunteer work excavating a kiva. Are there any volunteers helping with the excavations in the UK? If so, are there any age limitations?

Good ol' Time Team... three days of breakneck archaeology and accompanying speculation. Meanwhile, solid archaeology requires much more time on site -- let's say at least 3 years, not 3 days -- and much more dove-tailing of the evidence.
They were often part of larger projects that continued after TT had filmed. They didn’t just rock up somewhere and scratch for three days. That’s just the show. It’s worth checking out the history about how the team formed etc. I believe they have demonstrably done good for archaeology in general.
What I do not see is that are younger people really able to decipher these Phil Skills, Does archeology advance transfer or have to relearn all the past. Seems like a kid being sent to Egypt t to learn hieroglyphics just to die and hope someone else will do a likewise life quest for so liitle
In British English 'corn' is a generic term for cereal crops like barley, wheat or oats, and pre-dates its use as a name for maize by several hundred years.
Kind of insane to assume slaves must have been there cause there was nothing of value . Im no slave yet when i move from a flat i clean and take all my belongings including the trash . And first of all these so called sofisticated folks sure surround them selfs with a whole lot of trash. Lol . 😆 not sure id fair well in these times
the thing is, we have huge machines that can help us move our stuff when we decided to uproot and go somewhere else. if a family decided to move back then, and didn't have a horse and cart, they would often leave a lot of material goods behind, taking only the valuable and daily-used items, since they only had a little bit of cargo space.
WOW!!!
More Time Team!!!!
Keep bringing it.
I love the snake bracelet episode!!!
I love Francis. He knows how to laugh at himself. He is also very wise.
Love these episodes, thank you for sharing them with us!👍
All the best Jules
Its so great how theres hardly ever any negative comments. Just people with similar interests from all over the world 🙂
Now you make me negative, darn quantum!@@@!

Phil has been persistent so many times in time team and found things
Roman temples are illusive
Elusive, not 'illusive' (sic).
Great episode and having grown up in that area I’m so glad Stewart pronounces warburton right
I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF Phi. He is absolutely amazing.

incredibly ambitious and skilled folk. that is where their power came from.

Well there are parts of the world still primarily like that. pack a bag.
They were "factory made" imagine its just nit in a building.....
I like those best of the digs guys, very Interesting indeed. Keep it up.
Oh Helen, the Prettiest, Cleverest and mostly Shapely Geake to ever Grace our Screens! 😍
gee, that's not creepy at all..... way to sexualize the only female specialist in the episode.
I have had a crush on Helen since the Program started on British Television. She's a lovely looking Girl 🤷♂️
My Favourite Team....😊
I want to share pints with Phil and Francis! I love an archeologist with a sense of humor!!
Francis maybe,Phil says he's cheap not likely to buy!!!!!
Never even imagined I'd be interested in levels of field plowing.....
Snakes are our friends. They help control the mouse population.
In Britain they might be but here in Australia not so much.
But who controls the snek?
No many snakes in the city I live in 😅

They are friends if they stay were they belong. So many places have been changed from induced species.
He said " fortlet" , i thought he said "forklift" .I started paying more attention after that.
I like phil he's crazy cool 😎
When I get stressed I shut my eyes, and think about the Geofizz.
I remember Tony Robinson, when in a movie, John Wayne took him like a puppet and threw him into the river to retrieve a package, hilarious scene!

8:34 - Time Team Timewarp?
no, just tony moving way faster than we can follow!
An I thought it was another flash back 😂

Really helpful summary. Thank you Tammy AI!
Last of the Romans my ass we are still around. I'm a proud Gallo Roman.
Would love to have a couple (or 6) pints with Phil and hear his tales 🙂
Please correct me, but corn wasn't in Britain until the 16 th century?
'Corn' comes from Old English and refers to a range of cereal crops, particularly those that can be ground to produce flour.

It looked like a meet-up place, geographically

Shame the new time team does not measure up to these old ones.

Fieldwalking?
You mean metal detecting ...the real history finders dare time team say.
You don't find pottery and stone with metal detectors 😊
@36:10 No, no, no, no and no.
The hell are you going on about?
25:40 There shouldn't be any "corn" or "maize" present anywhere in Europe during that period. Give it another 1200 years or so. ;)

Groan .... 'corn' is a cereal crop.
