The Time Team crew trek to one of the outermost Shetland Islands, Fetlar, in an attempt to reveal the truth behind an ancient local myth. A cliff-top mound has long been known as the Giant's Grave. But what does it conceal? And could it be connected with some Viking pottery found in a nearby garden? What the team discovers could be one of their most legendary finds.

Same! I grew up (well my teens) watching his drawings unfold. I was so disappointed when they started bringing in more computer graphics. They way he could draw a warrior on a horse or a scientist round house so in proportion was epic. Do you know if he bought out any books with these illustrations in it? And do you recommend any?

This series has proved to be really excellent! I live in a apartment building that is 134 years old and from time to time I have found items such as pictures, coins, and the occasional tool. When I renovated a closet, I found a picture of a young girl in her first communion dress. It was from the 1920s. It was amazing to see this little piece of paper flitter to the floor. And when I bend down to pick it up I turned it over there she was! Innoway it was kind of creepy. So then I started leaving some of my stuff. I’m a musician so I left a couple of my CDs around various renovations that I did in my apartment. Are we did the utility room where the washer and dryer are, and I put together a time capsule and then put it in one of those food storage bags that you can suck all the air out of. Who knows, maybe 30, 50 or 100 years from now when they finally turn down all of the buildings and replace them with skyscrapers somebody might find the things I left behind.

Great idea! Of course, when they pull the building 150 years from now, they'll have the problem of finding one of those extremely antique and valuable working CD Players, so they can play them… 😊Unless they think, what the Archaeologists in Time Team do when they come across an object they cannot explain, they look at the CD and say that this was some sort of RITUAL Mirror! LOL 😂 I'm gently and friendly pulling your leg, GuitarUniverse2013! 😊 👍 I think it was a really fantastic idea! Who knows. Maybe you'll be the most famous Musician of this era, because your Music is one of the few examples that survived! Great idea with the vacuum bag. You should probably also have filled the bag with Nitrogen and put a Reactive Iron Pack inside to get absolutely every molecule of O₂ out. Oxygen will attack just about everything in time, and destroy it. Fingers crossed it will project your good self into the Future!

I lived in a small 4 floor walk up in T.O. in Ontario, Canada, 1913, it is on the building. Not a heritage site. When the plaster and lath walls were taken apart next door to our apartment, the supers invited us in and showed us the remnants of a coal shoot, an old kitchen fire that was stopped just in time, by our dividing wall, kitchens at the back of these apartments...and an intact log book from the Masonic Temple located in Toronto. I have visited that Temple, still going today!!

We did actually find a viking time ship yard in Denmark, which had remnants of ships built with wooden pins! It was found on Falster which may have been partly controlled by a north German tribe for protection against attack from their fellow tribesmen in northern Germany, because of the strange names on the two isles, Falster and Lolland. At first it was belived to be one ship, but then it was found out that it was parts of several ships, being worked on for repairs. They also at one time further south found a ship which combined the viking ship with the later German Kogge. A roomy, flat bottom ship with defense posts in front and the rear.

I am a Direct Descendant of the Viking King, Harald Fairhair. Not only was he a solid field tactician and excellent sailor, he managed to get all the little kingdoms of Norway to unite under one King. And he vowed not to cut his hair or beard until he had united the Norwegian Vikings, hence he got the nickname Harald Fairhair, from that rather long fair, blond hair and beard he walked around with just before the unification. Harald was a Visionary, and he built a strong Norway, which alas wouldn't last. In the medieval period we ended in a 400 year long union with Denmark. That was OK, as Norwegians and Danes are pretty much the same people with almost the same language. After having cowardly flip-flopped themselves through the Napoleonic Wars, the cowardly Swedes happened to support the winning side right at the end of the Wars. As such they took Norway as loot in 1814! But Norwegians would have none of it. We got our own Constitution and our own Parliament. And in 1905 we reoccupied the Norwegian-Danish Forts and Defensive works on the Norwegian-Swedish Border, and threatened to go to war to get our Independence. The Swedes cowardly conceded. BUT, they kept half of Norway. That's why Free Norway is just a sliver of what it used to be. They also kept large swaths of the Danish territory they cowardly had acquired. To this day, people in Jemtland and Herjedalen, areas that used to be Norwegian, speak Norwegian, read Norwegian Newspapers and watch Norwegian TV. But they're forced to carry Swedish Passports. But 1905 saw a new Norway born out of much turmoil, and Harald Fairhair's Dream came true. That's why you see an explosion of national pride, lots of hoorahing, kids with flags, ice cream and hotdogs on 17 Mai, May 17. to celebrate the foundation of our Independence, our Constitution of 17 May, 1814. I am very proud of being Harald Fairhair's Descendant. It's true that the Vikings were cunning, absolutely fearless on the battlefield, and fought their best when outnumbered in a big way. But for the most part they were traders, fishermen, farmers and explorers. Their superior Ship Technology brought them to America 500 years before Columbus, it brought them to Russia, Constantinople, the Mediterranean and Africa. And they had a hand in building most of the Modern West European Nation States. Yes, I am quite proud of being a Real Live Viking. 🇳🇴

I stumbled across these tv shows and I LOVE THIS SHOW! Watched 6 shows yesterday and have been watching the shows all day today!! Just have one question. Why do they only spend 3 days to excavate each location? Couldn’t they find so much more if they spent 7 days on an excavation? And what happened AFTER the show leaves? Do they fill in the holes they create? To they call another group to excavate further? Cuz you KNOW there has to be more to find…
@maxb4074

I believe that sometimes they do fill in the holes but sometimes local or other university archaeologists continue the excavations. I believe the Time Team funding sources limit them to 3 days, and also the archaeologist cast members all have regular jobs with universities.

My family are still fisher-farmers, keeping sheep and reaping the bounties of the sea. And that land is just perfect for both!

I'm pausing this at about the ten minute mark to comment. The archeologist just mentioned the utility of the place as a jumping off point to Iceland and Greenland. This inspired the thought that if it were used as such, a settlement would be necessary to assist departures and receive returning people. So, even if better grazing land was available farther south, as it was further down the calendar, people would still keep a settlement there.

Just because someone was buried with e.g. weapons didn't necessarily make them a warrior. It could have been a token of respect of someone revered e.g. However, in the Viking society, women actually had quite a lot of rights. E.g. they could divorce. They were more or less on the same level as the men in many regards. Also, the Viking religion (Asatro) stated that you would need things in the afterlife (similar to the Pharaohs in Egypt), hence you would bury people with nice things, their tralls (slaves) and so on.

Previous excavations on Viking vessels showed that the Vikings used iron rivets, roves, and spikes. These were thought to be fairly low quality iron rivets produced from locally sourced bog iron ore. Going back further, rivets were commonplace during Roman construction projects, and yet we can still go back further, to the Egyptians, who used rivets to fasten handles to clay jars. Over 5,000 years of rivets being used.

It's no mystery that the Norse and Vikings occupied all these islands for hundreds of years, so of course there will be evidence of their homes and burials on the islands.... It's practically only a stones throw away from mainland Norway..

Three days is that enough time to make a conclusion or does it just add to conjecture I suppose archeology is also imagination to try and think of the people and what they were doing and how they lived
