Love Phil's mangý and battered tool with a badly hand painted " Phil's box" on it.

Phil is a very practical man. If he thinks something is still useful he holds on to it. He also adapts and modified things to extend their usefulness. Classic examples of this are the cut off jean shorts. He doesn't like to waste things.

I can never get enough of this show, The Brits have the best docs, the best history and the best comedy broadcasts. The Time Team cast is so well rounded and their individual expertise really complement each other. In the early seasons Carenza kept interrupting everyone and was quite annoying with always trying to make her point. However, by the seventh season she has quite blossomed into a very integral and vital team member. Worthy ,intelligent, and rather charming too. I am completely addicted to this program. THANK YOU REIJER ZAAIJER

[@philaypeephilippotter6532]

In the early programmes *Carenza* was the representative of *English Heritage* (and its predecessor) so their points had to be voiced by her.

[@Go-Dawgs]

Carenza never fit in after Spain when Phil rolled his eyes because she did not want to give him one digger when she had over a dozen. This episode shows his fed up with her lol. They should have stopped giving her all those moments to jump in and act like she had been working long before they did. She is dirty when she has worked, most times she was clean and and acted like she had done it all.

[@thehairyhominid9972]

I'm in the US and I only dream that archeology would be something to take national pride in, be large parts of school curriculums and taken as seriously as the Brits do. In the US we hide our archeological artifacts in the bowels of the Smithsonian away from the public, and erase the true history of North America. The best example: refusal to acknowledge a mound building culture with very large city complexes that even Native American tribes don't who they were or what happened to them. We've robbed and bulldozed thousands of mounds, the Smithsonian swooping in to gobble up anything that doesn't fit the narrative. We may not have had centuries of empires occupying the continent or have nearly the amount of history as Europe, but what we do have is mediocre at best.

[@Karenlowry1]

William Paulet, 1st Marquis of Winchester, was my 15th great grandfather :P They were all mixed up with the Howards too, yea THOSE Howards.

Since I'm from the states I always have to "shift gears" when the show mentions "The Civil War". From years of indoctrination, my brain associates "The Civil War" with the 1860's..Then it's "oh it's the 1600's idiot." It takes a while for this American to wrap my mind around the period of the English Civil Wars.

[@BryonLape]

On many of these sites, I am quite amazed at how much soil gets built up around them. Sometimes they are having to dig 8 or more feet when it has only been 400 years.

[@CologneCarter]

I've seen first hand how fast this can happen twice. First one was about 30 years ago, when I roamed the ruins of a shut down factory in a residential neighborhood. I was there about 5 years after it was shut down. Green was sprouting everywhere. Not only in the cracks, but all over. A thin layer of topsoil had covered the concrete in patches. The other one was a side with another shut down factory about 15 years ago. The side was used to deposit soil and rubble from other building sides. So it looked like a mix of old buildings mixed with giant mole hill strewn about higgeldy piggeldy. About 5 years ago I went there again and parts of the giant mole hills had spread all over the place, by wind and/or rain before the plants got real hold of them. It was amazing how much the place was overgrown allover But I have also seen places where nature reclaimed every nook and cranny without even a patch of moss growing on the concrete after decades of neglect.

[@gregb6469]

CologneCarter site

[@CologneCarter]

Greg B Yeah well, that's one of the nice side effects when one learns a second language mostly by listening. Words that sound the same sometimes come out wrong and spell check doesn't help much in those cases. But people are able to get the gist of what I'm trying to communicate and anyway, everyone makes mistakes.

[@gregb6469]

CologneCarter Glad I could help! Learning another language is not easy. That fact that many speakers of English don't always pronounce words clearly just makes it more difficult for persons like you. I have a Cuban friend who gets quite confused about "been" and "being" because they sound the same to her when spoken by most Americans.

[@CologneCarter]

Greg B Listening isn't much of a problem, writing and speaking is. I had very little formal education in English grammar and spelling and I am 40 years past my school days. Mix ups and wrong words usually happen when they sound the same ie. "meet-meat" or even worse "to-two-too". When I hear a sentence like "I know how to do it right", I have no trouble identifying the right word, but when I type (usually too fast) I often don't notice those mistakes, not even when proof reading, because in my mind they sound the same and unless I misspell the word the spell checker doesn't pick up on it. Usually when I see my text at a later time and reread it then (another of my "bad" words) I notice the mistakes right away, also when reading what someone else wrote.

When did England get over their Civil War? Asking for America.

[@mamavswild]

You should know; it has a lot to do with the founding of the American colonies! In the 1600’s anti-royalists won a brutal civil war with royalists and establish for about 10 years a ‘democracy’ that was a colossal failure. I say democracy in quotes because it was a religious-based system with the Puritan Christians in charge...it ended being no fun at all. Strict religious rules like the abolition of plays and music, church all the time...it was Iran for Christians. So the royalists took over again and fun was restored to the kingdom (yaye!). But where did these grouchy Uber-Christians go? They felt picked on in England- they couldn’t practice ‘under persecution’ which to them meant being forced to lived around people that could be happy and where bright colors. So where did they go? America! The puritans became the pilgrims and everything was hunk-dory again.

it is now old hat, and 9 years ago, but i might not agree with those experts how these - swung - bricks for the gateway were made. no one was chiseling around and away to get this form. but a - template -. most probably from wood was made. and the bricks were formed this way and than fired. since there were no conveyors and factories tose times who made all the bricks with machines,. these bricks were made by hand. ( there is a story on the net, about the Viennese -Ziegelpracker -, the poorest of the poor slobs who had to make bricks, the got paid - nothing -, they had wives and kids working there. and the owners became millionärs overnight. more or less. this was the time when in Vienna the big - Ring Road - was constructed.And for the Palazzi of the rich and famous, millions of bricks were needed...)

When they were trying to figure the setback of the house, did any of them try using the golden ratio, 1.618? It was part of classical architecture. Each of the beds shown should have been 1 x 1.6 in measure, and then the house would have been at the end of them. If they didn't, why not? If they did, I'll just shut up now, ok?
