EPIC FINDS & LOST WORLDS | Time Team News | Episode #9 + Chateau rediscovery & new episode updates!

Archaeologist Dani Wootton returns to the Finds Shed for more Time Team News, including the amazing conservation and new replicas of an incredible, 2,000-year-old Roman cavalry helmet.
Dani is joined by Prof Luc Amkreutz, co-author of the award-winning book, Doggerland - a huge ancient landscape, where Neanderthals once roamed besides woolly mammoth, now submerged beneath the North Sea.
We also investigate an imposing Medieval chateau, rediscovered under a courtyard in Brittany. And Dani and Tim Taylor return to Modbury, Devon, for a special screening on Time Team's latest episode.
Plus, we share an update on our next 3-day dig episodes, coming soon to KZbin!

[@debbralehrman5957]

Will do.👍🏼

[@InterestedAmerican]

Excellent video. I'm fascinated by history of all kinds. I've seen every Time Team video available on KZbin. I can't wait for the new video coming in May. Thanks for the updates.

[@TWROC96]

Mick Aston's favorite jumper made into a t-shirt worn by Dr. Lawrence Shaw for the 30 year anniversary party- Wonderful.

[@galeng73]

Holy crap, this channel is booming in popularity. The number of new subscribers is awesome. Keep it up, Time Team! We love it all!

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

Yes please, more Dartmoor and Doggerland...can't wait to have a look at the book, and am so impressed that it's free to read online! Love this new news roundup TT feature. Long may it continue.

[@Mike-pi6pu]

Nice that the book can be read online but the reader interface is something of dog’s dinner that I’m profoundly glad l don’t have to work with.

[@Davlavi]

News I actually like watching.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

The fact three people worked on the Roman helmet reminds me how efficient the Romans were with the production of extraordinarily beautiful objects. Kudos for the wonderful replica. Looking forward to reading the Doggerland book.

[@virginiapeters-schultz5153]

As a Time Team fan from way back, this is my favorite new and different thing you've been doing. Thanks Dani!

[@CHCLA6779]

Yes, please - more of Dartmoor, please!!!! Such a rich store of history. So, yes. Please.

[@puppy2haley]

I joined Time Team on Patreon just now. Absolutely ❤ this channel!! Thanks for continuing pushing forward to keep us who love History informed on y’all’s / our wonderful heritage & finds from our past. From Texas, USA 🇺🇸 👍👍

[@CheekandBluster]

Nothing terribly profound to say, I just love all of this. Fascinating stuff, and I can't wait for the next new episode. Well done Dani, from a proud Patreon supporter!

[@amandachapman4708]

I look forward to reading more about Doggerland. It is wonderful that the book is freely available online 👍

[@bec5250]

People like Prof Luc Amkreutz are the sort of people I admire most. Those that want to make information and knowledge available to all.

[@judithcooke6979]

Thanks so much, Dani, for another packed issue of archaeological delights. Have always been intrigued by Dartmoor, so more information would be great. Doggerland is also a topic which would be interesting to learn more about . . . Anything at all really. I just love Time Team related stories. Best wishes to everyone on the Team, you are simply wonderful people.

[@MarlaBlair-ys2zu]

Can't help but look for Phil when they show someone digging!

[@atorres8760]

Dartmoor sounds interesting. They layers of archeology in the UK in fascinating. Plus community archeology.

[@Malana12]

I’d love to know whatever became of all the digs from years ago. Did local teams continue on or once time Team was gone and the sites returned, that was the end of it? Maybe you could have a flashback segment in Time Team news.

[@joshschneider9766]

All original series dogs were done under the auspices of Wessex archaeology. Full official dig reports for each episode can be found in their archives. From there a little basic Google searching should have you sorted.

[@diananelson3702]

Another great news roundup. Thanks, Dani.

[@amandathomas2018]

Yes please, Dartmoor is fascinating so more on the area would be great. Having said that, Time Team is brilliant wherever it decides to focus on. More of all of it please!

[@fificrossnails]

Yes please, I’d love to find out more about Dartmoor, as it’s a stunning landscape with lots of ancient history. I live about 15 or so miles away, and find it so beautiful and fascinating.

[@seanpaula8924]

Hello, and thank you from the colonies across the pond. 👍✌️

[@kathywalker6915]

Yes to more Dartmoor and Doggerland, too!

[@dominicmcauley9318]

Loving these news shows its great to get a round up of everything from prehistoric to modern history. Keep up all your great work 👍

[@shonatwining3832]

Finally visiting UK for the first time next year - suggestions for readily accessible sites to visit would be a great regular feature for all your international members - loving everything you are doing

[@Mark-xx8go]

I live pretty near Dartmoor now, my new favourite place, (it was the New Forest). Love the whole landscape & its wildlife, but the history and visible archaeology make it even more special. Any new programmes or information about the area would be great.

[@beverleylee4031]

Yes, please! More about Dartmoor.

[@LynneSheridan-ve2cm]

I will look out for the the Doggerland book, really enjoy your presentation of news items and alerts for coming programmes and new books. Several aspects 'digs' do not often address during excavations - what was the landscape like, did these early ancestors wipe out all the trees, were there ever trees present on some sites, did they burn them all for firewood? Climate is another aspect that would be interesting , like trees/landscape to frame the context of the sites uncovered. Sometimes sites of habitation are found adjacent to the sea or a cliff, so what would have been the climate (weather / temperature) that people had to survive, were their homes originally surrounded by bush or scrub or forest? Glad you have this Time Team news and Dani you do a really good presentation, you are so passionate about the archeology.

[@genie5251]

I LOVE Doggerland. I am fascinated by the area. Oh, to have seen it!

[@seanpaula8924]

Hello, and thank you from the colonies across the pond👍✌️

[@TheArtist8077]

I spent years making equipment for Roman re enactors and i find it interesting that academia still refers to anything that is found that is quite flashy as (parade) because they can't imagine that Romans might just be flashy people who like to wear such helmets as normal, Most Roman helmets were tinned or silvered and a lot have nice details on them, so an officers helmet would be much better and probably look like this helmet, it is a lot of work lugging around one helmet never mind a spare for parades.

[@davidhocde007]

Then, the question would be : had not the humanity been flashy from day one ? Or two, maybe... Being so means mating. I lived in Saumur. Militars are quite... appreciated.

[@karinland8533]

Also, to take a flashy helmet and carry it coss continent just for some parade sounds somehow not very practical

[@DC-wt2vi]

Definitely more Dartmoor, please! Would it be possible for the makers of the 3D virtual versions to use figures of real world livestock next time, too? So peculiar to see such care and detail about the buildings, and then to be confronted with children's toy versions of sheep and cattle within the images.

[@joshschneider9766]

The modbury episode was fascinating for me. One of my most prized possessions is a 1920s Stetson hat. They are so intrinsically linked with the American west, to learn about their English heritage sjd family association was just so wholesome and endearing.

[@549RR]

Thank you Dani, and to Prof. Luc & colleagues for the egalitarian gesture of making their publication on Doggerland accessible online in English.

[@janethay4053]

Thank you for another great episode of Time Team News. The painstaking work by so many people 2000 years apart on the Roman helmet is fascinating. Great to see more coverage of the latest from Modbury. Whenever I see Doggerland mentioned, I hear Tony's voice saying it. 🙂 Looking forward to the next episode. ❤️

[@carolinehannan3921]

Yes please, more about Dartmoor,

[@JoesM-qq9go]

Hi, more books and more catalogs on archaeological finds,... yes please, do a book show!!

[@k.jespersen6145]

Dartmoor! Dartmoor! Dartmore! Yes! The answer to "Dartmoor?" is always "Yes!"

"You cheeky brute." Love it!

[@joshschneider9766]

Also big thumbs up for bringing the word palympsest back from the archives. Maybe stewart will buy a round at the pub now 😂

[@kariannecrysler640]

Definitely more about the greater Dorset areas history please 😁

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thank you for the updates.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Strigulino]

I grew up in Plymouth and so a school trip to Dartmoor sticks in my mind and probably started my fascination with archaeology. We visited a stone circle and row not far from Down tor; hike from Burrator reservoir. It’s “my” stone circle now. I’ve taken friends to see it if they are in the area and want a walk and a bit of history.

[@genie5251]

I really enjoy the weekend update. I’ve learned so much from TT.

[@ianmckenzie2168]

fantastic news, love the videos , from a TT fan of many years

[@marthaberryman2019]

All of your Episodes since 1994 remain fascinating. I view them repeatedly, and even as an a cultural anthropologist, I continue to learn new insights about Human History. However, in my repeated viewings, I notice small things and wonder why: 1. When the Credits run, the late Ian Barclay is rarely listed. Nor is Dr. Ian Powlesland who was in multiple professional roles throughout. 2. In all the massive constructions, be they Earth or Stone, I would like to know a lot more history about the HANDS that built them--how and their skills, and the implication of cultural life for so many people to have time and ability to build such things. Missing many, but so glad to find other savvy "diggers of 1994s becoming PhDs of 2015+ and maybe Dr. Geake as an MP? Thanks to all of you, new and old. Martha

[@TheDailyWitch]

Great Episode!

[@Watcher1852]

THANK YOU SHARE,SHARE

[@roswithaprochazka912]

Maybe take a look at Austria. We have lots of interesting things here. For instance, a couple years ago near Bad Mitterndorf in the Salzkammergut 575 roman coins were found, together with a human finger bone and an iron ring. After thorough investigations, archaeologists now think that this points to a robbery of wages for roman legionaires and the incidental killing of an officer. The robbers were chased and threw away their loot. And nobody found it for more than 1700 years. Also, this year starts a new archaeological research project in the Salzkammergut, focusing on the roman infrastructure and development in this area (which by the way has been home to salt manufacturers and merchants since probably the neolithicum and has one of the oldest salt mines in the world).

[@JeanLoupRSmith]

In Caen, France they're doing preventive digs prior to the extension of the local tram line and already a lot of interesting ruins have been uncovered just a few centimetres below ground from a medieval watch tower to a German blockhaus. However as the preventive digs are still ongoing or just barely finished, the summary of findings is proving hard to find other that through a few articles in the local press. Hopefully those will be properly documented and when they do I think you guys would be interested in finding more about it.

[@philparmenter53]

The Market Hall is in the Devonport district (which used to be a town in it's own right) of Plymouth

[@mikis4863]

The Dartmoor footage was absolutely beautiful. I don't think we have anything like it here in the US.

It's a yes please from me for digs on Dartmoor.

You have chosen an extraordinary expensive book as your first book club recommendation. Apparently it’s only €15 in the UK, but in the US, the paperback is $45, and the hardcover is an extraordinary $116! He mentioned an e-book version, but I couldn’t find a copy available on this side of the pond.

[@darthspetdog]

Yes yes more Dartmoor please I grew up there how about a bit of two bridges clapper stone

[@loricameron1977]

Please spend much time at Dartmoor! It could be the subject of many episodes.

Does anyone know if there is any way of purchasing the earlier Time Team series on disc? I love the fact that new episodes are being made, but want to have the earlier episodes on disc as well. I have no idea if these were ever officially released - the only ones I can see available on disc are the later series. Any information on whether these earlier ones were ever released, or if there are plans to make these available to purchase, would be much appreciated.

[@TimeTeamOfficial]

What would you like us to cover next? Let us know in the comments!

[@davidhocde007]

My grand-dad told me many times our village Andard (near Angers Juliomagus, on the Loire Valley 🇫🇷) was the main city of the Andes, a Gallic tribe. Then, the Romans burned it down... 2000ish years later, they found a fanum, before my own eyes (I was 11). What happened to this Andarta, (the Great Bear) ? Un mystère...

[@robert4724]

There have been recent finds made in Spain of pre-Roman Bronze or Iron Age Spain, would love to see a segment of the archaeological work/discoveries being made there.

[@davidhocde007]

Fontevraud-l'Abbaye. Where Aliénor and Richard were buried. Have you heard about the ménagerie ? The hospital of Mme de Montespan ?

[@buffaloval2812]

it might be fun to hear ideas from the Time Team about The Curse of Oak Island. Many of their finds are medieval or earlier and some of the structures might be something that is familiar to the Time Team. What is covered, I will be watching. This is just an idea that crossed my mind.

[@hiwakoo]

Archeological findings are in many museums in the UK and Europe, you could incloude a segment to show and introduce interrestig exebitions or hidden treasures in the magazines. The Landesmuseum Halle (Germany) i.e. has a nice KZbin channel, Harad Meller is showing and explaining findings inside the Studiensammlung.

[@antonychapman2406]

Coming from the east coast I was very interested in the report on Doggerland. I would love to buy a copy. BUT a paperback copy cost £35! and a hardback £90!!! Can you do something about this, please.

[@alanmurdock4319]

In this country, we went from the neolithic to the the classical, to the third world. The last epoch in only 3 1/2 years.

[@sparkyprojects]

Something i've wanted to ask Is it possible that some of the gilded items found on any dig have actually been plated ? It would be easy to assume that items weren't plated because they didn't have electricity, that's until the discovery of the Baghdad Battery

[@markgaukler9011]

The pieces were likely mercury gilded.

what dosepalemcest mean and wgeredose the word come from i haven't seen or heard it before.

[@siwlasilva]

Normally a palimpsest was a piece of parchment, that was a very costly material, scraped to be reused. But you could still see traces of the first use. Figuratively, it is used to refer to works or landscapes that have been altered but still show signs of earlier use. It's a Latin word.

[@SpaceshipEarth-gw4sk]

A palimpsest is something that is reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form.

[@kevinroche3334]

I don't understand do people not use dictionaries anymore? Serious question.

[@janeparrett8601]

The chateau of Gauthier Giffard in Longueville sur Scie, Normandy would be a sight you should explore. He fought with William the Conqueror. I would love to know more as Gauthier is rumored to be a relative of mine. His son was the first Earl of Buckingham. The chateau is, of course a ruin now. Just a (selfish) suggestion.

Doggerland milions of years? When all ice from iceage over north america and scandinavia/russia melted doggerland was covered and also land between Africa and Europe. That must mean that all that was under water before the iceage too.
