I adore Stewart. The “Land Whisperer”. The solitary walker.

[@dl7596]

Every time they mentioned "moot" on the hill, I thought of the Lord Of The Rings *Entmoot* , which "was the name for a meeting of the Ents of Fangorn Forest,".

[@Pretermit_Sound]

Makes total sense. Tolkien was a professor of Anglo-Saxon, and incorporated a lot of those motifs into his writings.

[@kjpcgaming9296]

I love Stewart - he's like the Englishman that went up a hill and came down a mountain 😆

As a dutch, living in the netherlands, knowing lots of saksen towns, I'm not at all surprised the middle of the town has nothing to find. Saksen towns are around a middle of their farms. It still is! In the middle of their towns they gaderend their catle, wolves etc. protected. Why is there such a difference between knowlig? We are nearby.

[@Kholdaimon]

The "commons", as they were called, the central communal area of a village is also present in English villages and the Time Team obviously knows this, but whether that commons is in the exact same place for 1500 years as that piece of recreational land is hard to say without digging into it. They now know that tiny patch of land that they dug has probably not had any building on it for a long, long time, but you don't know that for certain until you dig it. England was also far more structured than the Netherlands was at the time. The Romans left a country that was divided into regions with their own ruling families that later developed into chieftains or kings. And these ruling families were used to building opulent estates that showed of their wealth and power, so they preserved large pieces of prime real estate. Our little boggy country was largely ignored by the Romans and the Saxons that lived here had a far less structured social hierarchy, this didn't really develop until the turn of the first millennium (as far as I know, I am just an amateur interested in history). So where English villages which had a local ruling family living there might have to surrender their commons to that family estate, to build a church on for example, the Dutch Saxons kept their commons for longer. The North European Saxons were also slower to take up Christianity, if I am not mistaken, because they weren't part of the Christian Roman Empire, which meant the village center wasn't surrendered to churches and graveyard until later. And as a little bit of constructive criticism: if an expert (like an archaeologist, an historian, or any other kind of scientist) researches something that you think is obvious, that probably means you are wrong to assume it is obvious. They have more knowledge than you or I, therefor you should be humble and realize that they have their reasons, but you don't have the knowledge required to assess whether those reasons are valid.

​@@hollandsemum1 Saxon 400-800ish, Vikings 800-1200 (Lindisfarne raid was 793 so I'll round up) The Normans were at the same time (North Men) but were just a different breed of Scandi-wegian. The "Norman" era of England is 1066-1154 but again I'll round up to 1200.

[@anthonytroisi6682]

Our ancestors must have been pretty absent-minded considering how many broaches, swords and necklaces that they have misplaced for modern archeologists to find. Didn't our ancestors notice when they dropped something? Didn't they go hunting for lost items? Could all items be part of plunder that was buried? In the other words, could the items have originated far away? Even in regard to the Victorian broach, wasn't it careless to lose something so valuable.? Could the Anglo-Saxon hall actually been under the medieval house and church?

[@kevinroche3334]

I'm sure they did look for lost items, in which case we would find even more finds. You have to remember two things: how they were lost (theft, violence, disease - all more prevalent than today), and the time since they were lost (many finds can build up after 1.5 to 2 thousand years). Just as an experiment, check down the back of your sofa or cupboard draws and see what interesting things you find!

[@anthonytroisi6682]

@@kevinroche3334 I agree that thieves, not the original owners, could be responsible for items being found in strange places.

[@Annaonesun]

@@anthonytroisi6682 I mean, we've all lost an earing or a key somewhere at some point. With all the millions of people who have lived before us, imagine every person loosing even just one item in their lifetime. That's a lot of stuff just laying around today. Add on top of that, people traveled by foot a lot more than we do todaday, meaning they had more risk of loosing things in grassy and muddy areas or forests where it's difficult to find a small item like a brooch or a necklace.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Hats off to "David Freud", @ 8:40 -> for his preservation of a slice of Architectural History, and innovative fusion of it into his beautiful home. Priceless, his thought to preserve it 8n this manner is truly fortunate and a most notable use of his "Imagination" ... imagination, a subject that has been intentionally faded in the Western World's decision to ignore Nonphysical, and with the Dogma of "Mainstream Academics/Archaeologists" and their "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline", Academia's insistence upon only placing value on 3D Physical. Clearly absent in countless examples of what comprises Universal, Human, Life, and experiences. The greater propagators of Myth will be identified as late 19th and 20th Century Mainstream Academics. Their departure from the "Standards of Science and Research", by treating Theory as Fact, by ignoring what doesn't fit their Paradigm, and their de-evolving into Lower Mind behaviors literally Gaslighting Peer whom have other Theories, Funds, even Peer Reviewed and Journal Published Findings. The misinterpretation if early writings 8f History and lack of required imagination and comprehension of Quantum Physics Science, the "Universal Laws", and more, are the values that are lacked, yet necessary for the true Freedom of Thoughts, for Explorations and Discoveries in Science and History. Get quiet, and be still, there allowing the value of Imagination. Establish a habit of being "Conscious in Thought" + "Applying Higher Mind" , where Wisdom resides. This Freud is truly achieved.

[@ingloriousbetch4302]

Um. Are you ok? You're literally whining that archeologists rely too much on physical evidence and not "non-physical" woo and "imagination". I've never seen ANYONE complain that scientists don't just place their imaginations above actual evidence.

The cost, dear.

[@dl7596]

@@DH007-w2d The 3 days has been explained umpteen times, in every episode's comment section, that besides the cost, all the show archeologists and staff have jobs that they work at during the week. Therefore the programs are filmed during the weekends. In a 2007 online article titled, *Mick Aston reveals the secrets of Time Team* , which begins, " Do you really do Time Team in ‘just three days’? We don’t cheat, we really do it in three days. We arrive the night before, but of course a great deal of preliminary work has already been done. A researcher has gone to the site, talked to the county archaeologist, got all the SMR stuff, gone to the National Monuments Record, talked to the landowner, and talked to the local museum about the deposition of finds. These are all the things a normal unit would do. There is also a site visit by the film director to decide how he or she is going to film it. Hotels are booked, and all arrive the night before. ... It’s a huge operation, moving 50 people, and it can have an enormous impact on such things as traffic. The police often put out parking signs and arrange traffic wardens, for the filming can attract vast numbers of visitors.... "

[@jacquelinevanderkooij4301]

Why do you think people settle uphill? People would settle by rivers. That Romans went uphill was because the could reagange waters. Saksen were not interested for that. That was not what they did, unless flodding was a thing.

Did Time Team ever look into the pre Germanic, the Time when English men still lived in Great Britain? (Only less than 2% 9f the original English Male DNA remains. The female continued with normal Admixture. (This can only be due to all Males, Adult, Adolescent, Children, and Infants having been removed, with for Ethnic Cleansing or for Slavery, the latter having no identified relocation.) Yes, the "Why comes to mind". Note: Romans, Vikings, Anglos, Saxons, Normans, and Jutes, are all Germanics. A Sociological Historical question comes to mind, "what/when was the measure of Ethnic Cleansing first used in the Germanic Cultures? This a subject that is worthy of a Sociology Research project. The Understanding of early Sociopolitical Culture in the Germanic populations, a diverse group of People's, and their separate areas, countries. The Welsh, Irish, and English were all largely of Basque Orgin. The indigenous peoples of Iberia and Northern Africa.
