Man this show was so good and has gotten me through many sleepless nights. The older I get the more history is facinating to me. Have to say the show hasnt been as exciting since Mick died. I think he added so much more to the show.

I'm intrigued by the mystery of what and why a hill fort is. I don't think it's a coincidence that they start appearing during a period known as the bronze age collapse. My theory is that rather than true forts like those required in southern europe and north africa, they're essentially gated communities in the suburbs of bronze age civilization.

It was a weekly television show. But they were accurately documented and have often formed the basis for further (academic) research.

In almost all cases, the sites were turned over to the local archeological society for continued excavation, with support from the Time Team organization.

I’m certain that I have seen some of these Time Team documentaries before under the “Time Team” banner as I generally mostly 99.999% click off the thumbs up now another company puts this out and it’s only when you have clicked on it that you see it is a Time Team show. Is there a way to date your Time Team Episodes so that I can know if it is an early one that I have already seen. When it comes up under a new banner no thumbs up has been clicked and it is a time-suck when I get 1/2 way through and discover I have seen this before. Please 🙏 thank you

This episode is from 2012. Episode 3, Series 20. Dig happened in 2011. 12 years down the history line - why purposefully not mentioning it?

@GallowsCalibrater 5 ай бұрын

They never mention the dates in any of their older videos like these. They just upload the video. same for all their channels even with new stuff. Tho it doesn't make too much of a difference really cause archeology is a slow process so most of what they find will be all we know until maybe another 40 years with new technology.

Strange that they ground corn. I thought corn was originally only in South America. Perhaps they meant some other grains like wheat or barley.

@MikeH-sg2ue 5 ай бұрын

Corn refers to grains that can be ground into flour. Maze is called corn in Canada, & the U.S.A., & those other grains go by individual names. They can all make some pretty tasty bread though!

Exactly. “Corn” in British English = grain, often barley, but not specific. “Corn” = “maize” only in the States.

Ancient "Capital" is a bit disingenuous. Cardiff was never the Capital until the British Government designated it so because they could get there and back from London in a single day via Steam Train. A modern devision.

@thisoldnurse1521 Ай бұрын

I’m thinking someone made a mistake as to what was ground on your grinding stone. The granaries in the ancient Unites States southwest like the ancient Puebloans high on the cliffs in the deserts of Arizona, New Mexico, etc had they grew their corn in the valley and brought up the corn and stored high in their granaries Was there corn in England and Wales during the Iron Age? I didn’t think that corn arrived in the old countries until after Europeans went to North America and brought it back like with Ponce de Leon or Chris Columbus. Just a retired Canadian nurse wondering. The ancient North Americans also had their Homs in these books and crannies, next to where their granaries were and the woman had the large flat stone ans a smaller stone with a flat side that she used to grind the corn into flour used for tortillas etc

They seem to call most grains "corn". This confused me too when I first heard them called thus but it seems to be a term rather than the grains name.

Those grindstones couldn't be grinding corn. Corn didn't reach Europe until 1493. It is a western hemisphere crop developed and grown by the inhabitants of North and South America, along with squash, beans, and potatoes.
