Can Archaeologists Find A Grand Roman Mosaic Within This Buried Ancient Villa?

Tony Robinson and his team of archaeologists embark on a thrilling three-day dig at a mysterious Roman site. Hidden beneath crop marks and fields, the team hopes to uncover the remains of a grand Roman villa with mosaic floors. As the dig unfolds, they encounter tantalizing clues, from painted wall plaster to ancient Roman glass, suggesting the villa was once a place of significance. But will they find the elusive mosaic, or is the villa's story more complex than it first seemed?

Archaeology is inherently destructive-and quite expensive. The TV money meant that many sites that otherwise wouldn’t be investigated did get dug-which sometimes meant enough finds to prompt further grants. Time Team raised public awareness massively, and helped motivate a new generation of budding archaeologists. I would argue that half a glass is much better than none.

I wish you upload the earliest TT episodes. Especially normanton and winterbourne gunner

[@polar199]

They are easily available just google search the serial number you are after. You can find them eg Winterbourne is season 2 episode 2. hope this helps.

A truly sad thing about being from the New World, is that there isn't any Old World beneath my feet.

[@notsofast774]

@@michaelkamradt4700 I kind of see what you are saying as I live in the Pacific but in reality there are extremely old cultures in the ‘new world’ which can be explored with archaeology- just very few old buildings as such and perhaps not the cram of epochs in any one small place.

[@maryd9331]

But there is old New World beneath your feet, and old Native world too!

I could not agree more. I hate it here. I want to go home. );

Tony is just such a negative Nelly....I mean when have they EVER dug a 'manky old roman farmhouse'....I mean what does one of those even look like?

Emmanuel will be running both France and England. Less demise during Vladimir and Elizabeth together visit. I'll just power house the Russian Union with Princess Anne much better different melting story a lollipop one.

Time team is constrained by budgetary and time constraints being a tv show. It shows by their absolutely horrendous archeological methods. I cringe very time I see this show.

[@beanzieobeanz2955]

understood, but from a position of ignorance, is the commercial bad archeology better or worse than no archeology for the lack of finance?

[@annazaman9657]

Don't watch it.

[@GeneralLeia]

@@annazaman9657right? What a bizarre comment

[@notsofast774]

⁠yeah don’t watch. And how many people have been attracted to archaeology as a result. They are exploratory episodes and there are follow up reports. How grumpy of you. And elitist - people watching know the limitations.

[@beanzieobeanz2955]

"methods" plural in that sentence? isn't it "methodology"? I cringe when I read syntax like that
