My best backyard find was a Clactonian flint lithic (material source, Leicestershire / Lincolnshire chalk), teardrop shaped, 150 x 120 x 50mm, with retouching and signs of use; a classical rhyolite flake 80 x 30 x10mm, with retouching (material from Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire); a hunk of fossil bone. All found when digging a flower bed in my own garden and dated to the post-Anglian Ice Age circa 450,000 B.C. They were the first ever Palaeolithic finds from this area of the southern West Midlands and are now in the British Museum.

LiDar would have been incredibly helpful at the Priory dig. It may have helped in exposing the remaining structures in order to give a better vantage point to the layout.

[@whyjnot420]

They barely ever used LIDAR in any of their digs. Remember this series started in 1994 and ran 20 seasons. This is 14, 16 & 17 making up the trio of digs shown here. If you want primitive but awesome go watch the first episode and look at what they did with resistivity.

[@heathertolsma7593]

@@whyjnot420 I get that. I've been watching Time Team for a long time. I understand what was available, what they did or didn't use in the way of technology. I was simply saying that it would have been great if, at that particular dig, LiDAR could have stripped away all the dense foliage to reveal the remaining structures. It would have been really cool to see how it looked.

[@merryhunt9153]

Re: Littlington As a geologist and gardener, I suspected that the villa was where the village is now. Reason 1: Landowners would have put the village in the ruined soil of a demolition site, not on good agricultural fields. A medieval village, with its higgledy-piggledy streets, could be built around the ruins, and in addition, using the old site meant hauling robbed stone a shorter distance. 2. I don't think I've ever seen such poor soil and such desperate-looking grass in any other English garden. And the people digging look like they're digging into a pile of bricks. I believe the soil on this site has never recovered from being strewn with the wreckage of the villa. I'm particularly suspicious of the plaster.

c1ph3rpunk Hahaha! I live in the American West, so when I hear or read about folks complaining about the horrible heatwave (80-85 degrees F) in the UK or Europe I wonder what they would do with 100+ degree F weather. Someone will argue that it’s more humid in the UK which is true, although we’ve begun to have much more humidity here in the summertime compared to when I was growing up. But I’ve been to New Orleans and Atlanta in the summer when it’s 95 degrees and 98% humidity. I’ve also been close to the Equator at the same time of year and can honestly say that the two US cities were absolutely unbearable in comparison. Global Climate Change is doing weird stuff everywhere.

Ironically, what they are often digging up is evidence of huge wars and invasions into our country. Romans, Saxons, Normans, Vikings.

I truly have enjoyed discovering "Time Team" (since about 2017 or 18) and it is a subject connected to my areas of Degrees (Sociology, History, Journalism) I remain interested in these areas, have continued studies and research in the Sociology and History areas. I've come to adore the various personalities of this group, even though I don't share their "Mainstream Academic" perspective, I value their learned skills. "Mainstream Academia" follows a "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline", and this stands in opposition to the "Standards of Science and Research", which prohibits using a Theory as Fact, and as a "Tool of Comparison",, (in application to Research, Academia, Education). The "Standards of Science and Research" were the center of my training and studies in University. My Advisor and also Instructor in a couple of Semesters, was Head of the Department of Sociology, and it was a Premium level College of Sociology within the University of Memphis. This whom fully adhere to the Standards are known as "Authentic Academics", and I expect the "Mainstream Academics" will merge into the "Authentic Academic" group over the next 5+ years, as findings in DNA, and newer discoveries in SE Turkey, continue to emerge with amazing facts that are placing us in a far greater fact-based plane. Once the momentum gets moving, it will be like Niagara Falls in it energies, and with abundant discoveries. That is most exciting to anticipate. Best Thoughts and Wellbeing to all ... Beth Tennessee

Hi Guys, Your programs are very interesting. Just one question, what do you do with the holes you dig? Obviously you don't take them with you, but do you fill them in?

[@philgallagher1]

They record everything, draw it all, photos, video etc, then they do indeed fill in the holes. That's why you always see them very carefully saving the original turf. They put it back and you wouldn't know they had been there. The only time they don't is if it's regarded as a site of National Importance. Then they cover it up and get people like English Heritage in to decide what to do. They did an episode called "The Street of the Dead" where they found a row of Roman Mausoleums outside an existing Roman Fort dig. They simply handed them over to the team already digging the fort.

I'm sure they used to plan these digs in advance, perhaps a couple of years prior to them putting shovels in the ground.

But for structures that have stood up to the ravages of time, I wouldn't have thought going from 3 days to one week would have changed the earth's orbital trajectory. It could also be argued that spending longer would allow for greater care to be taken with site preservation. Many programme's findings are uncertain or inconclusive. More time would add a degree of certainty. I know this isn't exactly a 'smash-and-grab' grave-robber deal, but it always feels hurried and that we are running out of time.
