An Iron-Age Trading Centre, Green Island | FULL EPISODE | Time Team

[@acepilot1]

Wake up at midnight with a panic attack and this video has calmed me down. What is so therapeutic about watching brits dig in people’s yards for ancient ruins?

[@skivvy3565]

Makes me feel more normal knowing I’m not the only one here for the therapeutic qualities

[@thommyguitar8384]

It is therapeutic isn´t it - I´am suffering from depression and I realized by the comments what I felt whatching the episodes. I believe a part of it is telling a story, a good story without "over dramatic special effects" and the actors love what they are doing, their eyes are sparkling... Greatings to all from Germany.

[@briandavidson3390]

Phil Harding's joy at learning a new skill, or even watching someone else apply their skill, is infectious.

[@ROBERTN-ut2il]

My grandfather would have loved this video. He was a machinist, making a living operating machines like lathes, except rather than stone, it was iron and steel he was working. While he firmly admired education, he was equally firm in his belief that a man who could turn raw material into useful objects would always find a job. So Grandson Number One - moi - learned to operate every machine tool (powered by electric motors instead of human muscle) he had in his home workshop set in the garage by the time I graduated from high school.

What a nice sentiment to give the land owner a bracelet made in the fashion of the ancient way!

[@Libbathegreat]

I've just realized that the experimental archaeologist helping make the shale bracelet (Jake Keane) is the same guy who helped Phil smelt iron in the episode much earlier on where there was a Roman bath house in the middle of a golf course- maybe season 6 or so?

[@monster-teeth5378]

This is exactly what i needed rn, I was starting to have a meltdown from bad memories and trauma.... this is the perfect thing to relax and distract me, thank you

[@AvaT42]

It is interesting you say this. As I remember a TT episode that had British army members in it and the one man suffered severe PTSD. He and his family found that watching TT helped keep him calm, relaxed, he just kept watching one show after another, after another. TT helped this man so much.

[@StoriesbyIrish]

I watch all kinds of documentaries to calm my nerves and avoid meltdowns. Some work, but even I've found that TT just has that something extra that works just about every time.

[@malcolmgeoffreyemblng5766]

I lived on the island of Elba for a few years and when we dug a five metre deep pit to accomodate a sewage lifting pump we found Etruscan iron working deposits including haematitic ore (from the island) and charcoal. I enquired and was told by local experts that for each ton of crushed ore twenty tons of oak wood (Ilex) was required for the process. Very quickly the timber resources of the island were exhausted and the ore was exported to the nearby mainland for processing where timber was more readily available. The Green Island project missed the important fact that charcoal would have had to have been imported from elsewhere....

[@timboyle5424]

Ilex is holly. Oak is Quercus

[@thisravenhasflown010]

Lol makes me wonder what else... if you didn't even know the difference in wood😂

I left the UK and one thing I missed was watching Time Team so I'm really glad they have been adding full episodes to their channel.

[@thomasjaggers3576]

An island is not just defensive. In an age when the easiest way to move things around is by boat an island is ideal for a distribution center. Large vessels that have crossed big open water are unloaded and reloaded while smaller vessels for inland bays and rivers do the same.

[@Thomw72]

I used to watch this on TVO for years. Glad I can still enjoy all the teams work.

[@peterebel]

The geophysicists are the heroes of this story - of any story really.

[@a.westenholz4032]

This was yet another great episode! I just wonder if Iron Age people would really necessarily have separate domestic and workshop buildings. Since I'm no expert, all I can do is wonder, but to me it would seem more than likely when compared to other similar cultures, that sure in some cases they might be separate depending on the profession and individual, but in other cases there was only one building with different areas of activity outside around it. Which is why you would expect to find a mixture of domestic and industrial type waste.

[@sharonfarris1282]

This episode is especially interesting. I'm so glad the team found so many items. I love Time Team. How about TT revisited.

[@roweng.4245]

I wonder if - perhaps later - some folk perhaps used the leftover shale blanks as spindle-whorls. (Which was what i originally thought they might be.)

[@skivvy3565]

Shale is most common in anoxic environments especially slow moving or sedentary salt water so it’d make sense if they had a big deposit on the island and chose to manufacture and ship the items from there despite the limitations

“But there still would have been ticks” 😂😂😂

[@leeneufeld4140]

Got ticks? Tie the bottoms of your pants shut, or stuff them into boots. Most ticks get onto you from tall grass, and this way you can brush them off from time to time. It doesn't get rid of them entirely, but it really helps.

[@mjrussell414]

I was going to say what a beautiful island, but it looks like it is full of ticks. Maybe they should bring over some chickens to free range the heck out of those pesky insects.

It always amazes me how wealthy some people are. Time Team goes in to investigate a castle and at some point they interview the OWNER of the castle!!! In this episode, they need to move the people who own the freakin' island. THEY OWN THE ISLAND!!!! Mind blown. I come from working class stock. Nobody I know comes from this kind of background. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to own an island covered in ticks. That wouldn't be worth it no matter how wealthy you are.

I've been curious to know, over several seasons now, if Mick does his own knitting, or if someone else created his sweaters, cap, and mitts?

@@Jerbod2 It would have been done when preparing the original episode for TV, it's not something you do afterwards.

[@Jerbod2]

@@robburgess4556 Exactly, and this is why you can conclude that this is a pre-television version of the episode. Usually they let the sound guy do his thing at the BBC for example, while a documentary gets sent to them with horrible sound, the BBC fixes it themselves to have a certain standard. Sound engineers will make it sound different, a channel like BBC will want to have it all on one level.

I don't understand why people are so funny about a pristine lawn when so much could be found out and the lawn retuned to its natural state afterwards. I would rather own an island that had much history than one that has a pristine lawn.

Oh No!!! While watching this, saw the guy hop on the shovel... No!!! Don't do that!!! VERY bad idea! And he does it more than once. I did that once, in boots, and the shovel hit a root, tilted and... a short time later I was listening to a nurse explain how many nerve endings the foot has and how hard it is to anesthetize that area. (Sliced about half-way through my foot.) Please, please don't do that! As always thank you so very much for (most of) the video.

[@Emmywe8002]

You must have bad boots then or a bad shovel🤔 Good shovels have the edge of it in 90 degrees.

sorry but the shot 0:00:34 where he gets off the boat think about it they first would have had to have docked to let the camera man off to get that shot, then reserve the boat wait for the wake to settle, slowly drive it in and try over and over again till u get the right shot of Tony jumping off the boat, the amount of effort that goes unnoticed.

what happening with caption/subtitle?

[@tarjei99]

Ticks means that the undergrowth needs to be burned. That is one of the benefits of burning the landscape. It is unlikely that there would have been many ticks in the iron age. Grazing cattle, horses, sheep and goats would have kept the grass short. And the landscape would probably been burnt regularly to promote new growth.
