Time Team heads to Dorset, inspired by the intriguing discovery of Roman brooches and coins in a hilltop field, but what they find isn't the Roman Temple they had imagined.

There is archeology from after Europeans settled in America also. But it's just not that old... yet. And that's not even considering that there could easily be settlements of people from other continents going back much much farther. Even pre-Viking. Because we haven't found something, doesn't even imply that it didn't exist. Not to mention that there is a *lot* of non-European archeology here, and that's every bit as interesting.

Speaking of US, I was just watching a History Guy video on the first European to cross east to west overland. Scottish man and in Canada. Took multiple trips but what I found interesting was it took 150 something days to get 60%+ across the Canadian wilderness. That seems like a surprisingly short time. I always found it fascinating how quickly people spread across and down the americas once those first few crossed the land bridge/ canoed along the coast. They didn’t have the technology we do today but anatomically they were the same as us. No reason to think they weren’t as intelligent. The mezzo Americans were brutal but also extremely advanced in math and astronomy. Warfare was less about killing but capturing warriors who would later be sacrificed. Blood was very important to the gods, they self sacrificed as well. Like genital piercing or basically running razor wire through your tongue. Blood was important, blood was life. At the same time Europeans were still on the 4 humor system from Ancient Greece. Which included blood letting. Also still burning woman for being witches. These Stone Age people were just as civilized, minus the technology. The Spanish Catholic Church burning all the Aztec history is so depressing. Out of tens of thousands of books (scrolls? Codexes? They had a unique way but it was written on paper) I think maybe 4 survive in different states of completeness. Sorry I got off topic. Sometimes it’s just cathartic to write/talk things out. I should really deal with my depression

Reijer Zaaijer, again, many thanks for these wonderful Time Team videos! Although I usually prefer the smaller scale excavations, this large one was great fun! I enjoy when geology and archeology intersect and the search for context begins. Neolithic, Bronze Age, or Roman Era, the occupants would have faced similar environmental challenges so it's not surprising putting which artifact with which era is difficult. Our beloved Mick was Mr. Context on this episode and his experience really showed here. A note on the Roman coins: The Romans were more superstitious than religious. I suspect if they'd seen a collection of bones and pottery collecting in one agriculturally rich area, they would have considered it a sign of good luck and continued the tradition of putting offerings in that location. I miss Carenza. :-(

Lanfear40 You are spot on. Tony's an actor, responsible for tying segments together, keeping the pace of the show moving and most important attempting to engage the audience. As an actor he's trying for any reaction from the audience, positive or negative. His job is the hardest as, even though I Love the program concept and the subject, it is for the average person pretty dry, basically watching a group of people digging a ditch. Tony keeps the show moving, asks the questions a casual viewer would ask, all while keeping it entertaining. It worked well, as 20 years of programs is "forever" in terms of television time.

Agreed, his job is to make a very unpredictable process seem less chaotic. However, I don't think his nagging tones at times, during entire shows, adds to understanding or the entertainment value. When Tony's on the nag I watch with the sound off. Back to this monument, I wonder why they keep calling it that when they have evidence of domestic occupation and the palisade suggests a protected home. The ditch is not very deep. If it has been filled with plowsoil, it could have been drip from a reed roof instead of a barrow ring ditch... how about a neolithic monument over which was built an early bronze age round house?

I wondered about that speculation at first, then at minute 31 Mick starts to really change his tune and I began to think they adopted the circle as a "barrow" on purpose to create extra interest later on. And it does seem that every time there is a neolithic site the speculation gets strung out pretty far from the evidence (even without the dreaming Francis Pryor).

Artefacts present in the topsoil and subsoil have limited archaeological value as they will have been ploughed out of their original context. That does not mean they aren't of interest but you cannot be certain where they originated from. Often fields will have been enriched in the past with manure and domestic refuse that were brought from off-site, for example. The point of stripping down to the natural geology is that any features cut into it will preserve the archaeology in context, making dating and stratigraphic relationships relatively secure.

@@BladeRunner21577 If the site has been untouched then it is unlikely that there would be Roman artefacts in the current topsoil and subsoil. As our hypothetical site is still present it obviously hasn't been eroded to a great extent so natural processes will have formed soils (or more likely sediments, depending on local geology and other factors) through material being brought onto site through the action of wind, water, erosion of bedrock etc. If the site has been untouched then the topsoil, subsoil and other post-Roman horizons will be fairly archaeologically sterile. The Roman ground surface, if not eroded prior to or as part of the formation processes of subsequent soils/sediments, may survive in the stratigraphy as a paleosol. Any artefacts deposited in the Roman period will be below this horizon rather than in the topsoil and subsoil that formed more recently. Soil science and site formation processes are pretty complicated and involve many variables depending on local geological and environmental conditions. It's been a few years since I've studied this so I may have forgotten or misremembered things. Also, I hope I have actually given an answer to the question you asked!

How does a society that doesn't have writing maintain a continuous, collective memory for thousands of years? I don't know about the British Isles, but in America it isn't at all uncommon for cemeteries to be completely forgotten within just a generation or 2 even with written records. Just recently where I live construction workers were digging soil for use on a job site elsewhere when they unearthed human skeletal remains. But, it was quickly realized that the remains came from a cemetery for a black community. The cemetery was still in use as recently as World War II, but nobody remembered or knew anyone who remembered that it was there. With this situation in mind, what chance could there be that ancient Brits could keep track of their sacred sites for thousands of years?

As it would not have been deeply ploughed (if it had been ploughed at all), it is probable that the mound and ditch would still have been discernably manmade. We know that the Anglo-Saxons often placed their cemeteries in close proximity to prehistoric monuments which were clearly visible after the Roman period. It is likely that the mound and ditch were ploughed out in the medieval or post-medieval periods.

Before writing was developed, people relied on oral history. Oral histories could remain reliable for thousands of years, as modern scientists have verified by correlating them with cataclysmic events such as volcano eruptions.

Anna Ferrara Phil is REAL protective of his archeology. In a very early episode he sets Tony straight on trench etiquette and Tony from that point on ALWAYS ask before he set foot in any trench. Phil is great, and like all of us has "three buttons". You can push two but it's not a good idea to push all three at once LOL...

Im more prone to that being 2 round features, maybe a barrow, and a round house. The smaller one looks like it overlaps the bigger one in the trees If you stop the tape at 4804. I see 2 round features overlapping, and you can even see the lines in the trees. :/ Oh armchair archaeology you so fun. LOL just saying.

as reguards to it being romans burying coins, most of the so called romans wernt roman, but from all over europe, and just because the coins were roman, it doesnt mean, that the people burying them were, roman

It's a Roman coin. set on purpose as an offering into a bronze age barrow, not necessarily by a Roman. The coin dates the offering, but does not tell us who did it. There were survivors of Roman occupation and of course they would still venerate their ancestors, maybe with something metal, if the ancestor had been a metal worker. There is no reason to assume a Roman would venerate a bronze age barrow.

Perhaps not a Roman from Rome, but a Briton who was living during the Roman era may well have, since the Bronze-age barrow would have been built by his ancestors. Remember, even during the Roman era the majority of the population was still people of Celtic British descent (with no doubt some pre-Celtic blood mixed in).

how does he get away with calling it a burial mound when they have no burials or bones at all? the pits by the door may be pit stops, if you get my drift. the finds found in the ashes, all the neolithic tools, might have been cleared off by new residents after the neolithic were done with it, and the transitional bronze age new residents took over. interpretations here are flying fast and loose and not much being revised based on actual finds or lack of them. No bones, for example, so the interpreter says they left people here for sky-burial and took bones off to another site. If bones go to another site, this is no longer a burial site BARROW, is it? the egg shape suggests two circles of different circmference palimpsest

Why is it always a temple or a villa. Why do you never see the normal places people lived, the squalid huts and hovels that the normal people lived in throughout the centuries :-)
