Cornwall's Biggest Iron Age Site | FULL EPISODE | Time Team

I just learned Victor Ambrus, the amazing illustrator of Time Team, died on Feb 10 of this year. He was 85. What a brilliant artist.

as an american who was completely unaware of this show until just a couple of months ago, this is what quality television is like. entertaining, educational, fun likable "characters", and on and on and on...

It’s 2024 and Time Team is still the best show on television! Long live Time Team!

To farmer Rick, thank you for being mindful enough to not plow too deep.

The 20 years of Time team programs has truly saved me from going mad during this epidemic. Thanks to all members of the team. I love you. I specially want to remember Mick and Robin for unforgettable moments in the series and all that I learned from them. From all the members actually . The laughter too. And the friendly banter. Happy to hear that there might be a future with new programs.

As a child and teen I wanted to be an archaeologist but was convinced by adults then it was worthless and nothing left to discover. I'm in love with time team and the massive discoveries they make in their own back yard so to speak. Absolutely love this show! Phil is a great teacher!

That little water fight was so sweet 😊 I love seeing people have fun at work😊 Paul is so funny

Love the presentation at the end to John and the geophysics team, they deserve a lot more recognition than they get. Time Team would never have worked without them. You can just hear John saying "Wow, I dunno what to say," bless him.

I recently came across this program and I am addicted. Being an american and listening to the thick accents, I especially love the slang terminology being used to describe the search for history. There is definitely a comradery between these people and I love when they are taking jabs at Phil. Thank you Time Team.

Phil chasing a giggly girl with a hose in this episode... a pure golden moment. Awesome to see the comradery wasn't just the main staff.

Shout out to Rex, our mans plowing at a safe level

Victor's drawings were amazing. I'm sure he is up there drawing even now

Where Stuart`s finger points down the hill to the little creek is exactly where I kept my boat 55 years ago when I was a teenager!

You got to love the way Phil always gets stuck in. Such an interesting mix of rough, gruff and scholarly all in the same person

There’s never enough time in any dig but a full time dig could last years here. An archaeologist could spend an entire career here. Such a wonderful place.

...as a history/archaeology geek (I'm an ethnomusicologist by training), discovering this series is just a sheer joy - a celebration of humanity in the very highest sense...

Random irony to me... The use of a trowel, ubiquitous tool of archeology, is the traditional instrument of builders of structures! One eternal round.
Thank you TimeTeam for these treasures of history.

One of your Colonist Cousins!

As a potter, it's not unusual for the base of a pot to break away if the base was thicker than the walls, or the pot was dropped and landed squarely on its base. I've dropped a pot and had this occur and seen similar things happen many times. There might also have been decoration like an incised line around the base that could have introduced weakness causing a regular looking break like that. Also, if the pot was sat in coals, it could have caused thermal shock that might break it that way. All this to say, that pot Phil found might not necessarily have been "cut" off its base intentionally.

The ring of pot with its base broken off might have been used as a form in which to construct new pots, as is still done in places like Burkina Faso today. The late art historian Christopher Roy has a number of videos here on YouTube demonstrating the technique.

I discovered Time Team a few days ago and I am overwhelmed. I am very interested in archaeology and history and I want to know as much as possible about it. With Time Team I have found a real treasure. Thanks a lot!
Many greetings from Germany
