What a thrill to see Mick so excited in the helicopter looking down at the site. Wow, that's enthusiasm! Hopefully he's still looking fown at fields and bursting with excitement.
21:55 - the water flowing in that culvert is mind boggling to think about. It was flowing when Romulus Augustulus abdicated as Roman emperor, it was flowing when Charlemagne was crowned, it was flowing the day King John signed Magna Carta, it was flowing the day Columbus landed on San Salvador, it was flowing the day the USA declared it's independence, it was flowing the day men landed on the moon and it's still flowing today.
Annnnd doin' a rewatch here in 2022! Found TT during Pandemic 2020 and have (obsessively?) watched, rewatched, and rere... ever since. Bless the TT for existing and am thrilled they've revived the show (albeit slightly different). Kudos!
@Mer Meridian - I found these back in about 2015 ... and have watched the entire series at least seven times - I have to admit that I've escalated my watching during the past several years of politial chaos. I downloaded them all and still find I come back to Reijer's channel to watch them here. It's like watching it with family. And this is the second time thru in 2023. No stopping me now. Because each time I watch them I see something I missed the last time through. Turkdeen is one of my favorites, because it IS so detailed ... and the Roman episodes are always so interesting.
Wow!!! I thought the first visit to this location made for an outstanding episode, but this is even more impressive! I bet the land owner had absolutely no idea what he had prior to these digs! Carenza in Roman attire, and the discovery that Phil is a real time traveler! :D What a great team they all made! Continued great work by all involved, including the excavators, volunteer diggers, and video crew!
Thank you so much, Reijer. I live alone and Time Team keeps me somewhat sane. The hardest parts of life are when change happens and the loss of Mick, Robin, and the program as a whole is a change that's hard on some of us.Thanks again.
Comeonnow,really? I, too, live alone and the Time Team videos really help me as well. Books, my laptop, and my cat are the only sources of entertainment I have. Because of the excitement level and humor of the team, My mood gets lightened with each Time Team video I watch. I'm not only grateful that these documentaries were made, but that Reijer took the time and trouble to post them.
You can add my gratitude for Reijer also. I had to quit working at 52 because my back self destructed. These videos are a major portion of what keeps me sane.
Yes, thank you Reijer for posting these some years back. I came across them recently and they are a real source of comfort and interest in a rough patch.
Both of the Turkdean digs make a marvelous lesson in Roman archaeology. The collaboration of disciplines, the humor, the metal detectorists helping rather than hindering, Carenza back in full fit form, and a thorough enough job to tell a lot of the story of the site. Just wonderful. I'm so grateful that Reijer Zaaijer posted all these videos.
I've seen this episode a lot. I love it when John and Chris are scanning and looking for a kiln. Chris says "No, it's not a kiln. It's probably a rubbish pit". Then John says "Or a Ford Cortina 20 meters down". Then Chris responds "Again". I wanna know when and where they originally found a Ford Cortina buried.
It's good to see Phil wearing knee protectors, which they should all have been issued with. Decades of kneeling on cold stone and earth will only result in a nasty Arthritis when older, something you really don't want to experience, believe me ! 😭 Great series, I could watch it non- stop from beginning to end then start right from the first episode again ! Thanks so much for uploading them, we are all much indebted to Reijier Zaaijer for providing the series ! 😘
Now that i'm 63, i'm focusing more on the physical effort involved as i re-watch these. I also keep thinking, if future archeologists were to find & examine Phil's (& the others') bones they would see they had been archeologists too.
@@TheShootist If Time Team had been offended, they would have shut down his postings many years ago. The number of views on these 20 years of Time Team episodes is testament to its enduring popularity, even with Time Team (Inc.) upgrading videos and re-posting them, Reijer's posts remain :) ~ it's a good thing.
I love time team too. Am quite addicted and watch it daily and repeatedly. Worked on Hopton Castle dig with them. Now back in South Africa and get quite “homesick” for the UK. Even if Phil didn’t have a back problem, knee pads are practical! 👍
7:17 Reminds me about when I was with a group of guys digging for some more modern stuff. Two digging close to eachother. One throwing his soil in the digging space of the other. He did this a few times. A little later you could see one chasing the other...😂
It's duly noted that the metal detectorists pulled their weight. Also, it's groovy that the Roman's two thousand year old water supply system is still working fine.
Yes, we found the same at Charterhouse on Mendip in Somerset: we traced the lines of the Roman culverts (known as gouts in Somerset), and when we excavated down to them, there was the water still running. One of them bringing overflow water from the Roman town emerged lower down the hill, and was a holy well (Mawdlyn's Well) in 1533. If only they'd known...
Damn, Mick gives me the willies when I see him lean out of the chopper like he often does. I realize he's strapped in but the potential danger of the situation chills me out. Don't like heights!
he's a pilot.... and he became an expert Aerial Archeologist. (as a skydiving instructor i can tell you being scared of heights is normal. 50k yrs ago ...anyone who wasnt scared of heights eventually fell off cliffs....so now we all have a built in survival mechanism.) Being strapped in makes all the difference. or have a parachute on. I have climbed around on the wings of cessna's quite a bit...lol)
I honestly think the first visit to turkdean impressed english heritage ... and that's when they started using TIME TEAM to get some info on sights they new little or nothing about ... and why they let them back into turkdean to finish the job ... they discovered more than english heritage ever knew about the place ...and barely even scratched the site
Vitruvius’ recipe called for the blue colorant to sit on the fire overnight. That would mean over coals and embers (low and slow), not over a blazing fire! Obviously the recipe got incinerated! It wanted to be cooked, not burnt! Think of cooking brisket….
I never cease to be amazed how on one site that is 1,600 years old, everything can be found a few inches down, while another from the same era is multiple feet.
Always thinking: To whom does young Guy look similiar ? Yesterday I found it out: go and check pictures of young Johnny Cash! Amazing! God bless you, Guy!
Another Roman word that might work for 'team' is _cohors,_ which can mean anything from a retinue through a ship's crew to an armed force or unit of a legion according to Wiktionary. Not that that would help the discussion at the time, lol. It's apparently the word from which _court_ is derived.
It's now over 15 years up to now thatTimeTeam went a second time to Turkdean. Has the villa and all its complexes been excavated? And has there a fully excavation report been issued? Anyone here who perhaps knows this ? ? ?
The reports can be found on the Wessex Archeology website for all the Time Team digs and follow up work where Wessex Archeology was involved which seems to be most of them.
It would seem that the Romans really took over Britain and made it over. But you don’t hear about them doing so much in France and Germany. Or were the Teutons and Franks more resistant to being Romanized? Or were they equally influenced? They had a lot of influence in Spain, certainly. Was Britain considered more primitive and therefore in need of more “help”? Now I’m curious about how much influence they had in the other parts of the Roman Empire.
finding 2 brooches that are 1st century doesnt mean you can assume the site spans that entire period. It could have been something passed down a generation from a different area and then lost there. Not that it couldnt be 1st century but you cant assume it ....love the show !!!
To all you anti detectorists out there ,get off your high horses and realize what history we have found and saved and filled the museums and PAS sites with, there is and have been so many metal artifacts lost in soil spills from JCBs and shovels and picks from ARCs its shocking ,if a team of detectorists were to go in and scan the site first and then a few times every 100mm of the dig you would have twice as much history saved ,its not just pottery and walling you know
@@mamavswild Some people and quite a few archæologists are rather anti because of a _very few_ metal detectorists, known as _nighthawks,_ who have pillaged archæological sites for profit. This tars the majority with the reputation of being thieves. It's wrong and unfair but the _nighthawks_ don't care as long as they profit. *TT* used detectorists on later digs, particularly on the spoil heaps, and they have found quite a lot that might easily have been missed.
If it was a big villa then surely the domestic activity would surely be where the kitchens were located and a laundry etc. You would not have wanted your important guests to be bothered by all that domesticity - the staff would have just entered the dining area carrying the sumptuous food.
Wish they would dig the entire sites, and not cover them back up. Make it a place for people to come and walk around and look at. Maybe pay a tiny bit to take a look, and to keep the site up.
I'm pretty sure the romans knew about Lapis lazuli it has been used for eon's to make blue paint and one of the Caesar's invaded Egypt around the 2nd or 3rd century if I remember so they would have had lapis for blue paint.
@@nathaliemarshall3079 et al---Lapis Lazuli came from Afghanistan. The Egyptians had to get it from there, as well. The Egyptians had a kind of ware made of paste called faience and could get a beautiful blue shade with it. But now I know from this episode how the Egyptians could get a red color from yellow ochre [which they used to paint the skin of females] by adding vinegar, which they certainly had. The skin of men was traditionally painted red--even if it wasn't. Love this show.
I'm befuddled by the "meticulously recorded" bit. There's a fellow standing there with a pencil drawing the positions of the stones on a sheet of paper. I'm no archaeologist, so I don't know the details, but did the Time Team not have access to a device invented some period of years ago called a "camera"? And would said "camera" (if I am spelling it correctly) not have been capable of recording multiple views of the positions of the stones more rapidly than a fellow with a pencil and a sheet of paper? Or am I completely mad?
Quite right. Then (and even more now when high-quality digital cameras are easily available), photographic records would have been made. Drawing plans is not a completely objective action, as thinking carefully about the position and thus relationship of each context to the next, helps you to understand the site better. Even with superb photographic recording, I still like to do the old fashioned drawing for that reason.
This video suffers from a lack of building and site plans to inform the viewer of the layout of the site. Its all a bit confusing trying to make sense of what is where.

How cool are those Roman culverts - brilliant.
It's amazing how much of Roman Britain is still only the thickness of a modest turf below the surface.
It really is amazing. I wonder if I've ever walked across an unknown Roman villa just two inches beneath my feet.
And like S. Africa, when the organisation left, it all fell into decline and ruin?

That must have been a great feeling for them to return at that site.

I am always amazed at how well and how finely they can date various pottery shards and coins.
