Twenty years ago, the Duke of Buccleuch discovered that the remains of a Roman fort might lie a few hundred metres from his home, Drumlanrig Castle near Dumfries. Time Team start digging.

Not an expert but I read that the Romans got up into Scotland, got their ass kicked in, then retreated and built the wall to keep the scary 'Barbarians' out of Roman land. There are forts near the wall on the Roman side and TT has even excavated a rare Roman cemetery at the wall in another episode.

Not that my full accent totally regained it's place but my ear totally took it back in that now, aged 74, and living alone, I often slip right into it. It's totally authentic.

The instantaneous answer about the source of the Roman army’s olive oil was “Spain, from the valley of the Guadalquivir, where the big olive groves were.” But Baetica and Lusitania we’re both olive oil sources, and the oil coil have come from modern day Portugal. There were major stores of supplies at cities such as Conimbriga, where sprawling excavations over many decades have revealed an amphitheater, baths, the Forum, streets, many houses with gorgeous mosaics, shops, storerooms and so on. From a logistical viewpoint, it would make sense to source from the nearest place, which is also less than an hour from the coast and good ports. Spain/eastern Baetica would lengthen the supply chain considerably for troops in Brittania.

The archæologists were all professionally employed as archæologists elsewhere, 3 days is quite common for exploratory excavations and the programme was otherwise very expensive. After the dig they usually stopped, recorded everything and shut it all down. In some cases the investigation was carried on by others, either amateur or professional, in others that is planned and in a few cases they found pretty well all there was to be found. They _always_ wrote a full report and that can usually be found easily in pdf for free (look at www.wessexarch.co.uk or local archæological society websites). Most finds were given to local museums for study. Skeletons were studied and then reburied in consecrated ground unless there was a _very_ pressing reason not to (and that would need government permission).

Not necessarily, the coins seemed to be changed at least every time someone new took charge. Once the old guy was out and the new guy took over the old coins lost value. They would most likely be melted down and restamped, the ones that don't get restamped were probably lost during the reign of a particular emperor, thus archeologist could date a dig by however long that emperor's reign was.
