"The death of an old man is like a fire in a library" - there is no better way to describe the death and loss of Professor Mick Aston.

[@TopExcavation]

👍

[@user-hy7zb2vl3t]

Nice😊

[@user-hy7zb2vl3t]

Wish I could like yah twice

[@jimfisher2451]

God, I love the people on this show. I’ve tried to explain my fascination with Tony, Mick, et al, but my words fail. It’s like visiting with old, cherished friends whenever I need a fix.

[@erinobrien8408]

Yep, me too!!! What's not to love?

[@GhostDawg464]

Guilty too, waaaaay over here across the pond!!

[@jacquelinevanderkooij4301]

😊 I thing I talk for many of us, they took me through the stupid lockdowns. I call them my friends too, still.

[@swampfox1776.]

New show utterly sucks,I know what you mean

[@alexandergaus493]

Couldn't have said it any better! Especially in the last weeks after an arthroscopy of my left knee not being able to work, they did help me not to loose my mind. 😅 I did really need some friends in this time. Even if it is a rather one-sided relationship!😂

[@RobBoudreau]

Two of my all-time favorite episodes are here, Speke Keeil and Mull. Besides wonderful archaeology, seeing Mick so happy makes them special. He was so in his element, so enthusiastic with what was coming out of the digs.

[@dionnegonsalves8188]

T.T. just love it. Relaxing, educational, & never boring! 📺 CLASSIC! 😊 👌🏽

[@captainflint89]

Big part of my childhood and a huge reason for why I now practice the art of flint knapping ! Love time team , a British icon

[@tjs114]

Of the bone specialists that appeared on Time Team, I've always found Jacquie to be the best. She doesn't talk down to people and she just seems far more practical than the others.

[@markberman6708]

I couldn't agree more.

[@Valkyriegrl]

I agree! She also really humanizes the burials they’re excavating - it’s very empathetic and touching.

[@TopExcavation]

That's true

[@alexandergaus493]

I love you all. You are such a wild collection of originals, everyone with a distinctly own sense of humor and I really could picture me having a met or a beer with you. Doesn't happen often that I see a single person I feel I could fit in with immediately - let alone a group of people. If you ever dig in germany you are welcome to come by for that drink anytime. Bochum for sure still has MANY places where you could find something interesting. It's in the center of the ruhr area and has a long history.

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Why doesn't germany have a TIME TEAM you've got a lot of history there probably more than us in the UK??

[@arethunessamsonsen6245]

Aww. I miss Mick.

[@stephkluske423]

Same here mate 😢

[@JulianneTure]

The Mull episode is one of my all-time favorites.

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

🎼 "MULL OF KINTYRE" 🎶 MIST ROLLING IN FROM THE SEA🎵🎸🎺🎷🎤

[@joeyr7294]

43:30 Really made me chuckle when the youtube captions read, 'fairly small shirts, but they are enough to keep me happy.''

[@mimiv3088]

Stewart seems to always be in the field next door to the one everyone else is in. 😂

[@TbagZ]

One of the best digs happen a couple km from me. Oseberg ship

[@marionjohansson4235]

This was clearly one of my all time favorites! And weren’t they battling the hurricane at the same time. Can’t remember which hurricane.

[@guyplachy9688]

By Odin's All-Seeing Eye, Matt is so young in that last segment! Makes an old(ish) man feel even older!

[@Davlavi]

Loving up.

[@georgehoran8664]

Thanks!

[@TessasPlace]

I was thinking they would have included the Viking ship burial.

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thaniks.

[@katherinecooper6159]

Phil is my favorite

[@larryzigler6812]

He is number 4 or 5 on my list

[@jamesnoonan7450]

The saintly site wasn't exactly very viking now, was it 😂

[@sharongould2689]

two of the eps featured arent really Viking though. there are other Viking digs I expected to be in this along with Finds on the Fairway

[@kevinchambers1101]

It would be fascinating if they could do DNA testing on the skeleton with the remaining hair to see if anyone is related to it.

[@christianbuczko1481]

They cannot do dna on hair unless theres hair roots, that sample hasnt. The teeth would be the best chance for dna.

[@emilyflotilla931]

They could do mitochondrial DNA on it, perhaps, but you're right. The teeth would be a better avenue to take.

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

This video is from 2009-10 so DNA back then was expensive not like today where you can get one for as cheap as $70 DOLLARS

[@TopExcavation]

That'd be crazy if there was a match

[@jannesdesmet1188]

And just like that, another 50 mins passed by!

[@OriginalMudSlinger]

Metal detected since 1986 digging our history how do you think i think about it

[@Hallands.]

All well and good, but who stole all the cat-tails?

[@funiguy8779]

First episode is the only viking dig, or am I missing something?

[@MrVirusVenom]

At what point does it become acceptably to disturb graves? 1000 years?

[@user-hy7zb2vl3t]

Day after burial I believe or our you keeping our bodies around for what? No disrespect intended it's how I view my corpse😊

[@nancytimmer9026]

In the UK after a century. In the Netherlands, 10 years after burial when the family doesn't pay for continuation of the plot.

[@scottfergusson8411]

They shouldn’t be aloud to build over sites like this ….ever !

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Every country is built over grave sites like this where do you think the billions of people were buried??

[@cherylkurucz8852]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@NorwayT]

Sorry, Time Team Classics, but apart from the first third of this compilation, this really had little to nothing to do with Vikings…! I can remember at least two brilliant Viking digs that would have lent CREDIBILITY to the Title! Unfortunately, they were nowhere to be seen here.

[@jacquespictet5363]

Viking. Is there a little mistake here ?

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Why?

[@jacquespictet5363]

@@AnnaAnna-uc2ff Are Mull and St. Osyth Viking sites ?

[@kevinjohnbetts]

@@jacquespictet5363 I thought it was stretching it a bit. Mull maybe, St. Osyth (which is less than 20 miles from where I live) probably not.

[@jacquespictet5363]

@@kevinjohnbetts I find you very diplomatic (not always a bad thing). As far as I understand, Mull was before the Viking age, and the other one after. So, either the label is wrong (I can't think of a common denominator) or there was a mistake in the editing. Either way, it should be corrected.

[@kevinjohnbetts]

@@jacquespictet5363 I can't think of a common denominator either. Possibly 'Early Medieval' (which is the term historians tend to use) or 'Viking Age' which would still be tenuous but I think people get that this covers quite a wide range of dates. I try to be diplomatic when it's easy to appear argumentative ..... and we know how arguments can escalate on the 'net. 🙂

[@thomasbell7033]

I so love Time Team, but it goes clunky really fast when it's at its most highly scripted. As is the dialogue at 1:45 on.

[@boogiesmell5181]

Gotta love Phil though, he doesn't have any time for such nonsense :D Tony: Phil, what on Earth are you doing mate? Phil: Whatd'ya mean what am I doing, I'd have thought after 14 years it was blatantly obvious. I'm opening a trench and I'm digging it. Well, Tony's gotta do what he does, it's a TV show and he's the narrator.

[@garry-ago-go]

Tony - is this a case of Vikings weaving their myths into the bible myths ? Haha come on tony have you had a bump on the head ? I'm sure your just saying that for t.v . Maybe the next dig can be the massive PAGAN temple under the Vatican, or Did they dig under the Vatican and put a temple in the hole ?

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Religion was invented by the elites to control and surpress there sheep baa baa 🐑 🐏

[@user-hy7zb2vl3t]

Vikings did tailor their methods to fit their times they lived in😊

[@garry-ago-go]

I think believe in me or burn had alot more to do with it myself

Nah on your knees for hours and hours you'll have bad backs & knees when your older..

[@user-hy7zb2vl3t]

​@SECRETORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR I got that now as I'm older so now I will dig in comfort an watch them do it😊

[@leecroysdale8140]

And opening it, you've gone and ruined it

[@thomasbell7033]

So would you leave it to the fate of the other 200 keeills on the Isle of Man? I'd rather have the historical knowledge it yields. But that's just me and I don't mean to appear snotty.
