Geo-Phys has advanced leaps & bounds since this was originally aired. I'm a bit of an Archaeology Geek/Nerd, have been since I was a youngster ( and hooked on any mythology I could get my hands on. I always wanted to help on any digs that were in my area (I lived, at the time, in The Bay Area of Northern CA (Native American the local Miwok )tribes. I was a bit of a charming kidlet, so, if there was one close to me, I'd ask to help (usually sorting and washing possible finds). Years later, and more then a few health issues, I realized Archaeology was not going to be a good career fit. So I became an "Armchair Archaeologist", reading anything and everything about Archaeology digs (not to mention any documentaries). When I found Time Team I was in absolute heaven. I've watched all of the Episodes from Season 1 to this current episode, I've grown to respect not only John with his Geo-Phys advancements, and Stewart with his Landscape Archaeology ... Together they can narrow down where test-pits and trenches are done (and maybe save some 'ecologically delicate' sites when technology has advanced even further.).

I think 'corn' in Europe is used as a more general term for cereal grains.

[@scarletfluerr]

Correct. The maize was a script error.

[@Bonebiddy]

John S. You heard right, but in the UK corn usually means grain. I'm not sure why Tony said maize. There was no maize in Roman Britain. In this case the bowl would have likely been used for wheat or oats, depending on region (corn likely means oats in more northern/Scottish regions). The exception to this was of course the little known but epic gladiator battles in the Maize Quest Corn Maze. Gladiator: Journey Ancient Rome Corn Maze at Maize Quest 2013

[@wallplug3903]

At 25:20 it talks about the pot being used to grind corn, but corn wasn't in Europe until after roman times? Is this explanation a mistake or is the pot from slightly later times. Edit: ok so after further research I think I understand, in British English corn can mean wheat? In American English corn always means maize so this confused me.

[@シロダサンダー]

Yeah, corn is an all-purpose word for several cereals.

[@DanCooper404]

Although he did specifically mention maize... Which is New World.

[@elizabethnewell3133]

Corn is wheat in Britain.

[@emilychb6621]

Corn used to refer to any kind of cereal you could grind and make some form of bread from. England kept that use case wheras corn in US speech has morphed to nearly always mean maize. The was even a funny thing happening during the Marshal Plan. Hamburg's Mayor was asking for corn, or 'Korn' a very dated version of wheat from the American Marshal plan. And what did they get? ,tons of best US maize.

[@karphin1]

Yang that is correct, the term “corn” actually applies to grain, wheat primarily, in Britain and Europe. It’s true, corn or maize, was introduced after the New World became settled.

[@stannousflouride8372]

+John S Corn and maize in this instance refers to wheat and other cereal grains, not what we call corn.

[@cpmenninga]

John S a small error on Tony's part. In the u.s. we refer to maize as corn. In the u.k. they refer to domesticated grains etc. as corn, in the aggregate, and the crop we refer to as corn they call maize. Maize is a new world plant, and discovery of its' existence at this dig would have "turned the archeological world on its' head."

At the 25:24 mark, did Tony make a major error, saying the pot Phil was looking at was used to grind maize? Is not maize a grain native to the Americas, and thus unavailable to Europe prior to the late 1400/early 1500s?

[@lisakilmer2667]

You're right. He usually said "corn", British English meaning generic "grain", but here he mis-spoke and they didn't catch it.

@25:25 "...ground corn or maize to make bread." Corn was not brought to Eurasia and Africa until the 15th century. This linguistic mistake bothers me to no end. Also, since we aren't talking about corn, that piece of pottery would have been used to crush softer things than Roman grain, which would have been too hard to work in such a vessel. It is possible it was used to break down and blend vegetables, beans, and/or nuts. More likely, it would have been used to crush beans before or after cooking. This indicates that the inhabitants ate this type of food, which would lean me to guess that this was worker/slave housing for the people digging the pits that are all over the site. I don't have a degree in this, I just know that non-nobles of the Roman period ate little meat, so they had to get most of their protein from foods like beans, grains, and nuts. I also know that corn and potatoes are indigenous to the Americas, which did not have European contact that took back crops till the 15th century.

[@philaypeephilippotter6532]

It's _not_ a mistake. For centuries the generic term for all grain in *Britain* was _corn._ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_(disambiguation) en.wiktionary.org/wiki/corn

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

@@philaypeephilippotter6532 Yes, but it isn't now and we are talking to modern humans using current English. Using such an archaic term that is no longer used outside of a small section of the populace that speaks a language that is known to cause confusion is just poor communication. I would expect people that have multiple university degrees, are specialists in their field, AND (most of all) presenters to a general audience to know better. There are a current term for it: kernel or a grain. Also, if you use a modern corn kernel as an example, the size and weight are not the same as modern wheat, barley, etc. kernels nor are they the same size as kernels of grain from even a few hundred years ago. The grains ancient people raised were far smaller than what science and current farming techniques create. Using a corn kernel or saying corn gives the wrong context to the viewer, hence why I complained. This is just as bad as people thinking potatoes were available in medieval Europe.

[@philaypeephilippotter6532]

@@KnightsWithoutATable I was brought up on a farm, albeit over half-a-century ago, I live in a rural southern *England* agricultural area where I know a number of working farmers and pretty well everybody here uses the generic term _corn_ unless a _specific_ grain is meant. The term is _not_ archaic. Neither _kernel_ nor _grain_ are particularly common currency. The second Wikipedia reference I gave you gives the etymology of the various uses of the word. It is pedantry to insist that the term _corn_ should only mean _maize_ when for centuries before that use it was cognate with _grain_ and still is. Please remember that _maize_ has been known as _corn_ for less than 500 years and in *Britain* _sweetcorn_ is more common.

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

@@philaypeephilippotter6532 I was talking about the video miscommunicating to the audience. If you say corn outside of England, most people will think you are talking about maize. Sweetcorn is a thing here in the US too, but it refers to breeds of maize high in fructose instead of starch.

[@philaypeephilippotter6532]

@@KnightsWithoutATable I know all that but it's not the point. *Time Team* was a *UK* programme and intended primarily for a *UK* audience. Certainly other broadcasters in other countries broadcast it but the original production was _not_ intended for other countries. Therefore criticising it for using *UK* terms is not reasonable. You may not have realised all this but it is the truth. I don't criticise the *US* programmes we get for using words or terms in a way that _we_ don't and I don't see why anybody else should whatever their nationality or culture.
