When I saw TimeTeam for the first time, I was completely amazed. Tony, Mick and Phil and Helen and all the others were on fire for the archeology adventure. Their passion, their enthusiasm was contagious... I loved these characters, each one of them was really unique and special. With Mick's death, the team's magic began to wear off. Little by little the magic and the passion and the enthusiasm evaporated and when I saw the first "new" episode, I had to switch off after a few minutes ... it was just ordinary archeology ... business as usual ... the mysteries of the past had lost their voice and soul!

[@LM-pm2ir]

Time Team was the best program ever created in educating the public to archeology and history.

When the lyre started to play at 46:30, I got chills. Such a beautiful, haunting sound.

[@juststeve7665]

Great episode, but sadly it is only a year and a half before Mick died June 24 2013. I really enjoy all the characters but I think I enjoyed Mick the most. Mick's last season with Time Team. Mick was very humble and though he would make no great contribution to Archeology...boy was he wrong there.

[@miaomiaochan]

Inspiring a new generation to take up archaeology is the greatest contribution he could have made.

14:12 "Where is the Pottery Expert when you most need him?" (camera pans to Pottery Expert schmoozing it up) lol

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

I LOVED this site, not only cause of the ditches they found, But OMG the beautiful Broach that Phil found. THAT must of made his career! And the smile on his face when he was the one to find it:-) Wondering if there is a way to ever go back to this site, and maybe exhume any burials or continue in digging the cemetery?

Sorry, Amy but the last time I visited I could not get close. It is cordened off to the public so nobody can get close. Perhaps, you should go with a camera crew.

As much as I admire Time Team I thought the cremation re -enactment was in poor taste as I had witnessed a real one . Westerners are shielded from the seamier side of burials with curtains hiding the coffin entering the furnace. Take my word for it that when you know the dead person lying on top of the bonfire its a whole different ball game. The deceased in my case was the wife's younger sister a beautiful women in every respect. Next day sifting through the ashes and collecting pieces of bone to take to the Temple to be blessed . In my opinion Funeral Pyres bring a sense of loss and grief that usual cremations fail to do.

@12:30 Sam Newton, Anglo Saxon historian. Right... If he was an anglo saxon historian, he'd be buried in that field by the time this episode was filmed? Lol!

[@tarjei99]

The big advantage of cremation is that nobody is buried alive.

[@Honeydwarf85]

I've never thought about that, but you're completely right!

Your DNA results said your ancestors were Protestants? What test told you that? I'm curious. I had my DNA test done and it didn't mention any religions in my bloodline.

That's funny since the "Anglo Saxons" used to be pagan. And it's Anglo, not Angelo.

[@Colin-Fenix]

I don’t appreciate that Timeline has added these History Hits advertisements with Dan Snow to all their videos and I am considering canceling my subscription since I pay extra for Premium KZbin to avoid ads. I am not interested in Dan’s new channel and I consider his ads a waster of my time and am offended that they have gotten around the removal of ads to Premium subscribers by adding ads at the beginning of every video. Sure, I can and do fast-forward past Dan, but I don’t appreciate it and therefore every video, regardless of quality of content, will get a thumbs down from now on.
