Phil "come out wherever you are " , Tony " no newts is good newts ". The genius humour of these programs made them an absolute muust watch . But I was at the height of my working career , so being able to catch up with some I missed is a delight .

Canadian here. Lived in England for a few years. Even got to dig my own test pit in my own garden in 2004 when time team did one of their big digs. Never got to see or meet any of the cast or crew. Still was a very cool time for me. Didn't get any finds. But I dug me a good hole. I thought of Phil the whole time.

Good point. I grew up on the edge of Salisbury Plains and we used to collect newts on the plains... there were dew ponds scattered around (shallow indentations made by man and lined with pitch so that rain and dew could gather for the roaming cattle and sheep to drink). So I Googled it... "A newt is a salamander in the subfamily Pleurodelinae. The terrestrial juvenile phase is called an eft. Unlike other members of the family Salamandridae, newts are semiaquatic, alternating between aquatic and terrestrial habitats."

The origins of pottery... I think it was noticing clay that was used in making a fire pit (along with rocks but those are not the focus) gets hard and holds it's shape when next to the fire in the pit. After a few fires you might find a bit of clay that holds the shape of the rock it was covering, then you form something out of the same clay and put it into the fire and get pottery. Next you make bowls and beakers and soon all sorts of pots.

@@robb2055 we have millineum of archeology here on the N American continent. It's just until 600 years ago it all belongs to First Nations, Native Peoples and maybe a few Scandinavians. So much of it on the east coast has been greatly built over, scraped out, or plowed away. And, of course, thieved, which still goes on today. There are some truly fantastic digs, though all across the North and South continents. Some pretty fantastic civilizations lived, thrived and passed on before Northern Europeans ever got here, and left behind brilliant archeology.

Found a group of smooth newts under some stone a few years back but there wasn't water nearby. They probably hibernated over winter under the stone but the nearest water was a farm reservoir some 600 yards away. I'd be surprised to find crested newts on that side of Wittenham Clumps. The north and east sides are far more likely, at the base of the Clumps is the river Thames and it's flood meadows along with the odd pond.

The stock: you take them to the nearest watering place (river, spring or pond), maybe a couple of times a day, or just let them find it themselves, and a couple of well-trained dogs will keep the wolves and bears away: and for the humans - consider Britain's best-known feature - water falls out of the sky pretty regularly, and can be stored in barrels or even clay-lined pits.

Richard When the Time Team show was in development, Mick Aston, the head archeologist of the show, was ask how long would it take to get an idea of how the archeology of a site would fit together. His response "three days". That's the premise of the 3 day concept a quick "look about" of the archeological clues at a site with the solution developed from that. Research always continued after the major cast members, and camera crew left, either by local archeological groups, universities, or English Heritage groups..It's archeology for attention deficit audiences.

Considering the high rate of infant mortality, I suspect that ancient people viewed children very differently from how we do today. If you knew that your child only had a one in four chance of making it to age five (don't know if those were the actual statistics) it's likely you wouldn't allow yourself to become too deeply attached until they passed that danger period. You'd still love them, but maybe they'd only be known by a pet name or something and only given their true name once they were old enough that you were confident they would survive into adulthood.

If nowadays babies die from Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) why can't that be one of the possibilities in this baby's case? It's something still without an explication to why it happens, but it happens. Also, it is possible the baby died from asphixia if he slept with the parents (my grand uncle and my grand aunt had a baby back in the 1920's and they didn't have a crib, and their baby actually suffocated while sleeping between the 2 of them). Babies are super delicate, and when I looked into the death certificates while researching my family tree, 80% of the documents I found were from babies that died during birth or right after (most of them were listed as stillborn, but some had more than a day of life, so not stillborn, just died too soon)

Throughout history man has had to protect himself and his land. As far as I have learned, all 'forts' were at some time defensive.

I think the current consensus is that "hillforts" were multi-purpose: part showing off/marking territory; part elite residence (like the castle or manor house later on); and part refuge/defensive (though not in the sense of having garrisons). But just as interpretations are changing over time, their functions seem to vary as well depending on the place and time. That's why you have to dig them to know what's going on :)

Considering the Roman civilization, a man of the family had every right to not accept an infant born to his wife for whatever reason if he felt like it. And if he didn't, the baby would've been abandoned outside of the town on a garbage pile. So it is definitely possible that the remains of that baby were disposed of in a ditch or refuse pile due to that kind of practice. It was a very patriarchal society, the ancient Romans - the patriarch was basically the master of life and death and he was entitled to even kill his children or wife if they disobeyed or shamed him in any way (along with anyone they might have collaborated with by doing so, if you know what I mean). Or perhaps the baby's remains in this suspicious setting were a result of an unmarried woman getting pregnant and trying to hide the fact she gave birth to an illegitimate child - a practice that is sadly not unknown in the modern times as well. If the baby was a month or more, and its bones are buried in a place which can't be identified as a cemetary, it could've been the economical situation of the mother or both parents already burdened with enough offspring and either not able to provide sufficient nourishment for the most vulnerable and the youngest, or deciding to sacrifice it in order to save the older ones, or themselves alone. Or the child might have been born with some defect leading to premature death that is not visible on the skeleton, or - while keeping it still viable - rendering it undesirable to the community and causing it to getting killed and buried casually in this shallow hole in the ground. Ignoring all those very plausible possibilities in favour or a very far-fetched and totally unprovable hypothesis of human sacrifice seems to me unworthy of a scientist. It's like this very amateurish attitude that some charlatans adopt: "don't know why, therefore it's ritual". Well no, it doesn't have to be at all. One doesn't have to search very far away, neither geographically nor chronologically, to come across reports of infanticide all across the world.

I'm sorry, but a loss of a child, no matter how young, is always traumatic and sad for the mother. A mother would never "toss" her child into the rubbish without a care, they should never say the mother never cared. Maybe the fathers wouldn't care if a daughter was tossed out. To this day daughters are killed and tossed out in Asian countries as they have no value.

He apparently did have a bad back almost throughout the run. I saw someone comment elsewhere that he had to be brought to site by ambulance a few times. However, archaeology isn't all about digging. A lot of it is just about knowing what's what, and Phil absolutely does.

iron age ''hill forts'' with high ramparts in front and very little in back. any attacker would survey all around and take the easy way in. the people that came went in the front 'door' in peace to trade their goods. when a human gets stuck in gear they are stupid.

It may have been, Saint Boudreau, but comparing life of one small settlement in a period when the region was not very populated to what you read or hear in the news happening allaround the world nowadays just isn't very logical. We need better arguments.
