  • As renowned Suffolk archaeologist Basil Brown discovered, Castle Hill near Ipswich is named, not after a castle, but a substantial Roman villa. Brown was unable to complete his excavation, and Time Team have been called in by local schoolchildren to find out more.

    I would let them dig up my whole "garden" and I would be watching from the patio the entire dig. Unfortunately there is nothing under my backyard. I made sure I didn't buy on top of the locally dug coal mines. It took me a minute to realize that "garden" meant the yard over here. I was picturing digging up all the flower beds and walkways.

    As a child wandering the woods of Pennsylvania I frequently found surveyors markers, permanent metal on concrete showing location which later surveyors where they are and where to find other positions. I assumed that all developed countries would have surveyors markers. Can English town planners know exactly where they are on their island without having to resort to electronics?

    • @rogerdewhurst5750

      In Britain there were property boundaries long before there were any surveyors. This is why there are continuing squabbles over property boundaries.

    This isn't the first Time Team where a trench has been robbed out. Anybody know why they would have done that? Is it simply to see what's underneath?

    • @georgedorn1022
      @georgedorn1022 3 роки тому +3

      When a wall has been robbed out, it has usually taken place long ago to reclaimed the building material. In this case Brown, likely assuming that most of the site would be destroyed by the building work, presumably removed the walls to see if anything earlier remained beneath.

    I enjoy these Time Team episodes but the "3-days" time limit doesn't lend itself to very good science. What can be discovered in a slap-dash examination of the facts? I'd be more interested in a thorough discussion but I understand the limits the owners of these properties may be imposing.

    • @stephenedgerton49
      @stephenedgerton49 3 роки тому +2

      I think their budget puts more pressure on the 3-day time constraint rather than the owners' wishes. All Time Team episodes that I've seen took place over a 3-day span.

    • @georgedorn1022
      @georgedorn1022 3 роки тому +3

      From a recent article in Current Archaeology magazine:
      'One of the more hotly debated aspects of the show was the three-day format. While this was, to some extent, born out of production necessities, members of the Team who came from a commercial archaeology background have noted that this fast pace replicated the realities of much day-to-day archaeology. A significant proportion of archaeological work is reactive rescue archaeology, with teams called in to quickly evaluate and record a site against a ticking clock, before it is lost forever to a housing development, a new train line such as HS2, or a natural threat like coastal erosion.
      This speed did not compromise the integrity of the Team's archaeological work: more than 200 published reports produced by Wessex Archaeology highlight the considerable contribution the show made to archaeological literature and while the programme was filming it was second only to English Heritage as a funder of archaeology in the UK. Several sites have been scheduled as a direct result of the Team's work, while their excavation at Blaenavon, near Pontypool, assisted in the industrial site achieving World Heritage Site status in 2000. Moreover, one of Time Team's excavations abroad, investigating a Roman barge in Utrecht, is currently part of a wider application under consideration by UNESCO.'

      From my understanding, it's his "product" so he's selling it. Since it's his and states that it is at the beginning, it's not like a paid promotion or anything so he doesn't have to specify that in the video.
