How Did This Mass Animal Grave Reveal A Buried Iron Age Settlement? | Time Team | Odyssey

[@isabeldickstein3655]

I love Time team and this episode was absolutely enchanting. The "argument" between Jeremy and Frances resulting in them digging was hysterical. This show is such a happy place for me.

[@kristi.s9922]

Finally the one I haven't seen! During Corona I basically watched all available videos of Time Team, then I watched them again, and then I put them on to sleep better. This is new and exciting for me.

[@LordPubeck]

"Well, if you don't understand something, how can you preserve it?" - never a truer sentence on TT.

[@RKHageman]

Good for Francis!

[@bobwallace9753]

Phil's laugh is helping me through a rough patch. Thanks, Team.

[@djb3500]

A lot of that laugh to go around.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

Any help is welcome. 😀

[@BoyProdigyX]

Somehow this channel manages to find the few Time Team episodes I haven't seen. Love it! THX!

[@BoyProdigyX]

Oh, and FIRST!!!

[@benediktmorak4409]

same here... But for me arises another question. - cattle culled in the recent foot and mouth disease -. Are there WOLE animals, dead ones obvious, buried or only the bones? i assumed the carcasses, the same as for that mad cow disease, are first incinerated and only the bones are buried. suppose this is not the right place to ask a question like that? and 2001 is now 22 years ago...

[@southeastcoastalphotography]

@@benediktmorak4409 if there were incinerated, why were the still be bones but no, I’m pretty sure they buried the entire animal with all the meat and bits still attached to the bones.

Tony was on every single episode/dig of the original 20 seasons, this is an original run episode.

[@Cazsuane]

Ahhh! Someone once questioned me saying on another video that I knew Mick and Stewart were vego but I didn't know John was, too. Now I'm vindicated! So nice to see 3 men going vego in a time that no one was really talking about it. Also, I am loving that Odyssey keeps finding TT videos I haven't seen. I don't know how they do it - I keep thinking I've seen them all then Odyssey goes and surprises me!

[@jrmckim]

There was a big vegetarianism movement in the early to mid 90s. People talked about the benefits of being vegetarian back then too. The difference now isn't so much being vegetarian but vegan.

[@Goldenhawk583]

I find it sad.. really sad that people willingly give up the one, single food, that gives a human all that is needed for thriving with optimal health. Wannabe cows get sick.. for ideas that are all lies, and thinking that one can eat whatever, and not suffer when removing oneself from a species apropriate diet. Also.. veganism is a killcult.. everything must die for humans to eat a vegan diet.

[@joshschneider9766]

2:28 i dont think ive ever seena more perfectly clear and round parch mark. good lord.

[@lindak8664]

I wonder at what stage Tony started asking if he could jump in the trench, instead of just enthusiastically leaping into them like he did way back on the beginning. I also wonder who barked at him or what he broke or trampled to cause that barking.

[@stephanieyee9784]

I believe that was Mick saying to him somethingalong the lines of: "I don't believe you asked permission to get in the trench."

[@nevillemignot1681]

I think i remember Phil giving him a ticking off for doing the same sort of thing in an early episode.

[@skalar-haubitze1619]

47:00 is the very reason I am hesitant to call archaeology a science. The amount of extrapolation that is done based on stains in the ground that really could be anything is at best an educated guess.

[@philroberts7238]

Many medical diagnoses are educated guesses as well. The more educated the guess, the more likely it is to be correct. A huge amount of knowledge about times past has already been unearthed - and as time, technology and experience progresses, the guesses get better.

[@mauryhan]

I prefer Mick's reserved looking at the facts to Francis' overly active imagination. He seems to take the slightest bit of evidence that might support his conclusion and run with it.

[@jerryantaya1266]

I'm sorry but that farm cart seems like BS to me lol. They either went thru there one time only or they were extremely accurate and their wheels never deviated from that line. And the horses hooves didn't make a trench at all in the same dirt? Seems a lot wishy to me.

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thank you.

[@trinkab]

I would be so annoyed with the "don't dig the center" guy. If they don't dig it, they won't find what they need to get it scheduled to keep it being just destroyed without getting the knowledge before the destruction. Who is he saving it for? Or am I missing something?

[@TheBeetress]

They save archeological sites because technology is always developing. In the future they might be able to learn more, and test more things, so sites are preserved for the future. However that guy was annoying, wasn't he the one who called time team in?

[@trinkab]

@@TheBeetress oh, I get that. The Time Team never digs the whole thing up. And yeah, I think he **did** call them in....to do what, did test pits? Or just geophys?

[@nbk9372]

Francis wopped him out of his power trip as he always has (lesson's learned from word sparring with Mick & Phil) with; "well if you don't understand something, then how can you preserve it"! And with that, the County's archaeologist representative was chopped down to size without being cherry faced. Time Team has some seasoned word sparring combatants/veterans, they are subtle, but apply brute force when the need arises and know when to tag team their opponent. Another one to watch is Stewart, he's the word assassin like a Ninja. Listen, observe, and apply Grasshopper. :o)

[@fbrainsout]

Love Frances' energy 💯

[@LindsayWilson-vj1wc]

Probably Only the Brits would take time to check an area in the middle of nowhere for archaeology during a mass slaughter of infected animals.

[@cubfanmike]

Never trust an archeologist; he'll invite you to dinner and feed you eel stew.

[@deborahparham3783]

No way. I've eaten crawfish, frog legs and even alligator stew. You could not get me to eat eel anything. Nope, not even at gun point!

[@benediktmorak4409]

@@veronicagee4335 if you are a regular viewer one knows this. and also knows the - spiel - of Tony with his 3 days. most of the time what Time team is doing is on a long weekend. when one looks at the end of the credits, one can see where all those people come from and where they are working. and WIKI gives also a not to bad idea about them. But for sure local archaeologists are on hand long before that. and obvious, someone will have to to the proper recording and clean up and preserving afterwards. I am also sure, and it does not bother me at all, most of this bantering, talking and explaining is rather carefully scripted. to explain to US, who kon´w nothing about archaeology, what is going on.and why and where. Suppose for that HRM made Tony Robinson a SIR:..

[@thesteelrodent1796]

the 3 days come from Mick Aston stating you learn the most about a dig in the first 3 days, and that became the concept for Time Team. It also worked well for TV as they could shoot the whole thing over a weekend, where all their experts had the time to do it. There are a few episodes where Mick says "we all have to go back to work on Monday" when trying to convince the silly owners of some lawn that they won't be digging around forever @@benediktmorak4409 they used a lot of archeology students who got credit for doing actual field work - most the digging crew was volunteers. And once all the "big guys" went home on Sunday night (usually they stopped by Sunday 6-7 pm), it was all the others that stayed behind to record everything and fill in all the holes

Right above you someone else asks the same question. Several people replied with details- they explain it pretty thoroughly. The short version? The professional archaeologists have regular jobs elsewhere- this isn’t their job, it’s a weekend project for them. It’s funded by Channel 4.
