I love it when they include local children to help with their digs. There may be future Archaeologist in the making!😎

[@MrGuyJacks]

@MrJlsiii Okay boomer

[@shri081]

Phil moaning about finding only white china as compared to Mick’s finds, at the start of this episode seriously bought a huge smile to my face….so proficient at what he does,my favourite time team member,but also can be such a baby 😂😂

[@skimask5049]

this channel is the best, i watch it every night before i go to bed i love tony, thanks everyone at Timeline you people are amazing

[@mcburcke]

Best quote from the episode: "They're all really quite mad"......priceless.

[@1701enter]

my love for this programme and its unique characters will never diminish

[@lacritzer3070]

That activity with the big map and the kids houses was really cool! Way to make an interactive experience with the kiddos!

[@NajwaLaylah]

I am so jealous that you live in a country where "things buried in the ground yet to find" are so many and so much older.

[@NajwaLaylah]

@tavisxavier I'm sure that things made or built and left in Northern California are occasionally from very long ago-- but the local material culture before ~1500 was mostly pretty 'green' and sustainable and compostable. Much of it lives on now as dirt. Not a lot of bricks and stone walls or even local pottery (when you can make watertight baskets, do you *need* pottery?). The most beautiful baskets degrade gracefully. I don't know how else to put it.

[@GeorgeClarendon]

Najwa Laylah A few minutes walk from where I live in the Central Valley are some grinding holes used to process acorns. It also helps that it’s a great view from a high point of the Sierra Nevada.

[@myboyz9391]

I participated in an archaeological dig on the Susquehanna River in Maryland, USA before the Conowingo Dam was built around 1980. We found tons of Native American relics that were over 1000 years old! But I understand what you mean. Lol I love European history.

[@Copeandseethe822]

Everyone does

[@deenamorgan6674]

This one was quite the rollercoaster ride! 😊

[@erikandreassen6531]

This has to be ther best school outing ever

[@jrjubach]

What a beautiful area.

[@christophloewen174]

Excellent HD! Thank You for posting!

[@ebybeehoney]

There has to be a way for ads to pop in to the natural breaks of the show instead of in the middle of a sentence.

[@flitsertheo]

KZbin wants the ads to be as disruptive as possible in order to push us to a paid account without ads. Hence the ever increasing number of ads too.

[@NajwaLaylah]

There's a way, but no will. The more irritating the placement of ads, the more motivation to pay to skip them.

[@Schmorgus]

Just use "uBlock" or "Adblock". If they can't time their ads, why accept their lazyness.

[@EMBer3000]

How did they discover that animal dung mixed clay made for better pottery? I have one idea, the potter didn't like a client and mixed in some animal dung to sabotage his work. When the client finally used the pot it turns out it was the best one he ever had and told the potter this. After swearing a while the potter had an aha moment.

[@jonathanbennetts2632]

Paul looks like he is great at sorting out his pot. lol.😁

[@Jakathera]

Watching in 2019 - I miss Mick so much!

[@primitivetechnologypast3966]

I love History!

[@Beemer917]

Oh Mick, I miss him. You won't see anyone like him anymore. Those stripey jumpers! Rest Brother.

[@rutabagasteu]

Fantastic !

[@TiempoNuevo-ew7ty]

I volunteered at a site in CA.during the summer on year. Archaeology is great fun. We found mostly pottery shards. It takes a lot of patience.

[@benediktmorak4409]

great idea to have also children involved about the history of their town. for sure beats watching the telly all day long or playing with the mobile?

[@bosse641]

Lovely episode.

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thank you.

[@SB-oo4on]

I love that guy's rainbow sweater!!!

[@Schmorgus]

Mick Aston. A man with interesting colours through out his life in archeology :)

[@kbowler9266]

I imagine Phil is thrilled to see young people have sucess.

[@erikasantoshafitness348]

God bless Mick 😢

[@joshschneider9766]

So glad these are being shared here thanks for them!

[@erikandreassen6531]

The time team despite their limitations (3 days) turn up some interesting stuff with the help of locals and amateurs, well done

[@benediktmorak4409]

these are all -old - episodes. not that i mind. i have not seen a single one before. but would it be a good idea to get a camera team, there and show what it looks like now ( 2021)? a few minutes, a small comment, nothing scientific?

[@nancycornett9949]

Love the docs, wish they would dispense with the music!

[@valarauka6611]

time team, yessss

[@staceyd.199]

Need a time team merchandise of one of Mr.Micks colorful sweaters.i love those.😊

[@c.s.7266]

I dig the lady's groovy rainbow jumper! Just saying..lol

[@NajwaLaylah]

Me, too. Sometimes you have to get in the face of grey weather.

[@lindadobson9854]

Love the stripes Mick!

[@n74jw]

My dad would have a bird if I told him that I was to dig up his garden.

[@tovaritchboy]

goes with the old joke about the murder telling the police where he buried the bodies, and gets the police to dig his fathers garden for him.

[@jrjubach]

Woah 5th century pottery!

[@maeve4686]

Nathaniel Anderson you need to educate yourself to the term "arcade". It originally comes from latin "arcus", meaning arch ways or an arched entry to a walkway. An arcade was a semi-enclosed area with stalls to sell goods. Like, somewhat ,present day farmer's markets. Not pinball machines and claw grabs.

[@philipmalaby8172]

Was it cunning?

I was hoping that he had a turnip when he was about to dig that bit in the garden.

Could someone please tell me what Phil's regional accent is? I'm American, and my ear isn't astute enough to discern. Is it a Cornwall accent?

[@georgina3358]

Phil is from Wiltshire

[@andreweden9405]

@@georgina3358 , Ok, thank you! I think I'm figuring out that he speaks with what's referred to as a "West Country" accent.

[@TiempoNuevo-ew7ty]

They are supposed to be putting every shovel of dirt through screens sifting the dirt for small items like seeds, small bones, and organic material to actually obtain a date. The finds are laid out and recorded by exactly where it was found. At the end of the day the finds are placed in bags, boxes or glass containers each according to where they were found with in the pit and which pit. The archeologists I worked with never jumped to any conclusions especially date wise. The main body of work takes place in their labs in detailed analysis.

[@giboron]

you can dig up my yard any time and I give you more then 3 days but I live the USA

[@rutabagasteu]

The show was patterned on a 3 day dig.

[@finalscorce]

You need a permit in the USA to dig up your back yard....

[@giboron]

@@finalscorce no we don't just got to call be fore you dig so you know where phone lines and cable line and etcetera if you're building something you'll need a permit that's only if you live in the city limit

[@NajwaLaylah]

@@giboron The problem in the USA is that if you find anything older than 1492 it automatically by law (no investigation allowed) belongs to the nearest representatives of indigenous people. Science by legal fiat.

[@LynxSouth]

@@NajwaLaylah And they'll rebury it, even though there's almost never any evidence that the artifact actually belonged to their ancestors. Politics and archeology don't mix well.

[@Hammern28]

Colorful sweaters... kinda a bit... ehhh... hippie like!

Mick Aston had loads of different coloured clothing throughout his Time Team years :) He sure brought colour to the show.

It means literally parentage from both East Angelia and Saxony. It refers to the people of East Angelia after Saxon conquers integrated with the established natives and were one people.
