Cromwell destroying everything and Henry destroying the Monasteries, continues to devastate me.

46:30 Nice to see Ruth Goodman making an appearance

[@ghrrum]

God, I love Phil. He's a delight.

[@pattyhansen7563]

but what is UP with those fingernails?????? Yikes!

[@time_for_fast]

it's an amazing thing to suddenly learn of the sheer size of these buildings being able to entertain several thousand people and just think of all the space needed for those Elizabethan collars

[@bella151272]

For a long while I thought Stewart and John were the same guy 🤦🏼‍♀️ love them both. I cannot get enough of this show, I watch it every day 😍

[@diane8885]

I thought I had seen all of Time Team. I missed this one!

[@blasphemertheseventh]

I miss this version of Time Team.

1:40 Tony: "why does it look like a flying saucer?" the History Channel: "hold our tinfoil hats"

[@AnnabelleBeaudoin]

Great video ❤🎉

[@brianle1593]

Love your videos. I’ve always wondered, how does a building get buried that deep? Is that a normal occurrence due to time? Quite interesting.

[@johnhere59]

this is so old the computers there using has been E-waist for 30 years now.

[@balderii7340]

The queen came there with 1500 people… that’s ridiculous! I know nobility were big employers, but 1500 people (as a travelling party, she had more at home!) to get only one person through the day, that’s absurd. Something went horribly wrong after the Norman conquest.

[@galesal1109]

What do they do after they dig up the structure walls? Fill it back in?

[@AndrewArndts]

for the most part, yes.

[@joshschneider9766]

There are occasionally times where wall lines are covered with clear plastic and displayed in situ or similar but from all the archaeologists I've chitchatted with mostly filled back in yeah

[@justincrittenden8685]

If there is a possibility of follow up excavations, we often put plastic tarp down over the floor of the unit and then fill the hole in. The tarp separates the backfill dirt from the unit floor.

[@davidstrother496]

Since the three day Time Team digs rarely actually find anything, are there any follow up episodes that revisit sites with actual discoveries?

[@thhseeking]

Not many. A fair few have been subsequently investigated by University teams. The three-day digs are largely to see what's there or not, and then the reports are handed over to the relevant institutions for follow-up. After Time Team finished up, I saw a follow-up episode where Mick explained the process that the crew went through before and after the digs. They had to put forward a proper archaeological proposal and then write a report afterwards. That's where the "record" bits come in that they keep mentioning when closing up a trench or going through later archaeology. Unfortunately, not every University can invest the time or money to immediately follow up on Time Teams findings. But at least with the post-dig reports someone in later years can go back. Gotta keep building big aircraft carriers and buying over-priced aircraft :P

[@Noah_E]

Sorry, but the "expert" is totally wrong at @15:19. Does he think the masons were fools back then? This curved pieces were formed in a mold just like every other brick. Why would anyone 1) hand craft every single one or 2) do it at a work bench? He pulled that nonsense straight out of his a$$.

[@jimmusson]

History hit network, pilfering time team.

[@thhseeking]

Yup. There's the "Time Team Classic" channel that has older episodes, but not all of them, unfortunately, and not in order :( The full series used to be on KZbin some years ago, but then some a**e began restricting the viewing of *some* episodes and not others. And it wasn't Channel 4. They'd have enforced copyright on all the episodes. I miss the show.

[@RatelHBadger]

​@@thhseeking it really is a mess. I've watched all the Time Team Classics episodes because I know they are directly connected to the team behind the series. Everything else is either on Chronicle or some other "History Hit" channel. At least it's not behind a "subscriber" paywall I guess.

[@joshschneider9766]

Actually they license it from Tim Taylor the creator of time team.

[@joshschneider9766]

Don't throw rude baseless accusations around eh fellas? The UK archaeology community is ab extended mutual support network as is the wider global community of archaeologists thank you very much.

The editing that history hit have done to this is awful

[@kevinquist]

i know your not allowed to do anything in england anymore (REGISTER YOU KNIVES NOW! OR ZU VILL PAY). but we still use similar clay pipes almost every day. (were still allowed to smoke here. for now).

[@rorysparshott4223]

Get a grip.

[@kevinquist]

@rorysparshott4223 iv got one. You need to fucking relax. Have a pipe. It will take the edge off ya

[@rorysparshott4223]

@@kevinquist It's amazing how hard you can see someone projecting when their response to a 3 word reply is to tell them to fucking relax

YOUTRUBE ELIMINATES likes TO EMPHASIS NOT LIKED! wtf?

[@laserbeam002]

Why would they need safety helments when they are in the trench scraping away and there is nothing above to fall and hit them. Just stupid british regulations I suppose.
