Tony Robinson visits Scotland to observe a group dive led by Nicholas Dixon onto a collapsed but well-preserved Iron Age loch dwelling. Also participating are six field school archaeologists who will learn the basics of an underwater dig. The Oakbank Crannog they work on is located in the north-east of Loch Tay in Perthshire, where more 18 submerged crannogs have now been identified. A working example was reconstructed about a mile away on the south side of the loch at the Scottish Crannog Centre.
Original UK broadcast date: 19th April 2004
NOTE: The Scottish Crannog Centre has been undergoing redevelopment, following a fire in 2021 that destroyed the original crannog reconstruction. To discover more about the Centre's plans, and to find out how to lend support, please visit: crannog.co.uk/

2004? I was 14. Almost certainly watched this one as a kid - now I can watch it again with my newborn daughter on my lap 😅
-
OMG!!!!! AN EPISODE I ACTUALLY HAVEN'T SEEN!!!! Oh joy oh bliss😅 😊 😅
-
I would love to have an update about the excavation, what they have discovered since. Actually, after every special, a summary update would be so cool. (Sad to hear about the reconstruction)
-
I love hearing "...ideas can change as new discoveries are made" and being taken on that journey of discovery with Time Team helping me to understand the complicated processes of planning, excavation, analysis, interpretation & documentation, in simple language I can easily follow. 🙏

Beautiful video quality and Tony’s voice always makes me feel I’ve come home.
-
Hurrah for the Crannogs.
-
Love Tony! It's his voice that was the storyteller😢 in our living rooms for decades. In Louisiana they conserved an entire dugout boat that was found sticking out of the river bank using wax. They kept replacing small amounts of water with wax basically, until the wax had absorbed enough to conserve it.

Echoing what some others have said; considering this was filmed a little over 10 years ago, and Nick estimated being done in 10 years, I'd love to have an interview with him on the channel, to see where he's at now. My parents went to visit the reconstruction a few years before the fire, and I was super jealous even at the time.

Wonderful video. Oh how I miss Tony and the band of misfits on Time Team!!!!!
-
I hope much more has been learned since this project! Thanks, Time Team

Be back in 4 hours for Time Team Assemble! ✊🔥😂

I loved this show as a kid in the 90s and continue to love it today
-
Time Team is awesome!
-
One of the more interesting episodes, ❤ timeteam

Seems crazy to me to spend 20 years at one site slowly mapping the bottom of the lake. Now you could just send an underwater drone under, do a 3D point scan with photographs, and have a fully 3d model of the site in a few days. I admire the commitment!

Thanks so much for posting
-
Oh wow! I just saw the lady using the ancient whisk, and I couldn't help but laugh! My grandmother had a whisk just like that one! Not so ancient, maybe 20 years ago 😄 Incredible, I didn't realize it was such an ancient invention.

Fascinating!

Loved this one😎
