The Great Iron Age Ditch Under Dinmore Hill | Time Team | Odyssey

[@jansenart0]

When British archaeologists examine areas with rivers, they should always remember the influence of beaver, which had been everywhere but were removed only recently, meaning water would have been concentrated in massive, stepped ponds. The river could've been a giant moat around the hill.

[@jrmckim]

You're so right! The Eurasian beaver went extinct in the early 1500s and was only reintroduced in 2009 in Scotland.

Oh, please give this place 5 more days! There’s something unique lurking here, I can feel it!

[@Hallands.]

@@richardpchaseii5084 Well, yes, but 😐😢☹️ oh, never mind…

[@jrmckim]

I wish they would do 5 days at each site. It always feels by day 3 they are just getting started.

[@Hallands.]

@@jrmckim Soros and Gates like to throw their money-weight around. Ask them to finance this and give their names honorable mentions...

Tony has a cunning plan for getting the job done.

"Baldrick, you wouldn't recognise a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on a harpsicord singing 'subtle plans are here again'."

[@winstonpoindexter8401]

Love these shows, but I’m always struck by the assumption that things have to have been done by lots of people. We often neglect to respect the sheer time, let alone dedication, that our ancestors had and could very often display.

[@jrmckim]

I dont understand how to read the geophysical reports, I guess... ive watched probably 30 tt episodes and could never quite see what they saw. Mostly bits and spots of shadows. Then at the beginning when John showed Tony the report I could clearly see the line but according to John, it wasn't very good. 😅

[@eligunthair11]

Already watched this, thank you!!

[@Baseballnfj]

That's really fucking cool Eli thanks for telling us all!

[@shri081]

Bethany Hughes making an appearance in this episode albeit a brief one did it for me 😀😀

[@AvaT42]

This was fascinating, I wish TT could have spent more time at this site.

[@kimw1520]

I hqve made mistakes, thank you for your insight.

[@versacifyy]

Nice

[@007vsMagua]

It seems the massive ditch could also have served as a quarry for stone for the settlement.

[@Alarix246]

And what about the charcoal dating???

[@conniemcfalls4357]

I've wondered: what happens to all those ditches after they leave?

[@Zippythewondersquirrel]

I believe that they fill them back in.

[@Mr94529452]

Poor francis 4:58

[@jrmckim]

Ikr!! The "ohh" was from the soul

[@dalekundtz760]

Sir Tony... "I don't want to be too negative, but...". That is how he ALWAYS is. Negative and complaining that it is taking the professional archeologists too long to find evidence. Professionals know many times you find nothing during a dig. I take my hat off to Mick, Francis and Phil who go out of their way to painstakingly explain to Sir Anthony what they are seeking and how they may find it. They are highly educated and professional in what they do. I have learned a lot as they explain things.

[@RevantuZ]

I think he purposefully talks as a sort of devil's advocate/sceptic as a way of making the interviewees explain exactly why they think what they do, for the benefit of the audience at home.

[@lizzy66125]

thats what Tony was for,a link between the team and the public.he purposefully asks these questions.he knows a lot about archeology...

[@jrmckim]

That's part of the show... he makes these highly intelligent and professional people explain exactly what is going on. All those questions are for to understand what is happening. Also it builds suspense in the viewers.. keeps us guessing.

[@jrmckim]

Francis: those ditches over there are really intriguing. KZbin CC: those bitches over there are really intriguing 😮 😂😂😂😂

[@MikeGill87]

C'mon, Time Team, "0 AD", really?

[@crustypratt1004]

Why is Tony always so negative and argumentative?

[@FrostyBalls01]

Because that what makes him Tony. If it wasn’t for his I don’t think time team would have lasted as long.
