Turn right here Tony. Turn left here.

Who's driving this car Mick?

Very interesting!!!! Great job!!!

Why do I like Scottish people more than I like the English?

Thanks for posting.

If "Viridius" means "mighty, great", is it possible that it's actually a title that Romans used for God when they converted to Christianity? Maybe at least partially to throw the pagan Romans off their tracks by letting them think Viridius is just the latest deity in the pantheon?
Fair warning, I admit that I have a habit of letting my imagination run away with me, but the active conversion of individuals and societies from paganism to Christianity fascinates me. I'd love to know the thought processes of these people.

WHY "JUST 3 DAYS" ??!!??

I think the engraved stone in Phil's trench was reused from something else. Who knows, maybe the old guy had it and liked it so they used it when he was buried.

Good old putrecine and cadaverine!

What incredible work and findings! It’s unfortunate they only get 3 days but hopefully the county or someone will continue what they’ve started

That’s lovely topsoil.

I’m curiosity about ancient times is, why did they abandon town sites and let them go to rack n ruin? Was it due to a catastrophic event or a new invasion of a different people who thought they could design a better place to live.? And is there a way to find out the answer to these questions

I most definitely hadn't seen this one before!

I think so, only so many robbed walls and broken shards you can stay watching.

Wonder what has happened since at this site. There doesn't seem to be a date as to when this 1st aired, however, everyone looks quite young and, Kerry is digging. In later episodes Kerry became site manager as well as assuming other duties and he no longer took an active part in digging. This might be a site to return to in 2024 or 25.

I love Time Team ❤. I binge watch this in my free time.

Can someone tell me why the archeology is so deep in the ground?

It's so yummy how the Brits say "SHED-uled." 😁

Maggie Darling’s voice is mesmerizing

TONY,,,,,,TAKE YOUR PILLS, AND LAY DOWN FOR A FEW HOURS, THATS GOOD !

Thank you for bringing Roman archeology to my home 🥹🥹

They( archaeologists) fill so many caps with personal subjective opinion. The one lady claimed, that a skeleton cant be Roman, cause its teeth are in " too good" shape. Yeah. I bet every single roman that ever lived, had shitty teeth.

Such a good episode!

Those tall bodies with the good teeth might have been pirate attackers. Mass grave after a battle? Could explain the scatter.

A priceles series!

Settlements, houses turn left here.😄

Unfortunately, the sleeping dead have their eternal rest seriously disturbed by these digging, grave robbing vandals. Once blissfully forgotten in Mother Earth and then excavated and placed in a box in a storeroom or a display case. Interesting it is looking into the past they must upset the property owners with their excavations of trenches.

Germanic Romans?

Phil is such a nice bloke.

Is there a way that you can put some fertilizer and plant better grass on your land

Phil is very special. Good man.

I mean they were in Britain. The locals weren't overly friendly makes sense to build a wall of the get a bit aggressive

I'm neither English or an archaeologist. I have been watching Time Team for years (at least on YT).

Help out an ignorant Texan, if you please. Are they saying "finds" or "fines"?

What's the point of burying people and wasting land for cemeteries if people are just going to dig it up anyway??? What if I went to the cemetery to dig up one of their parents or their kids would they care? Or were they treat it like it was some crazy find? This is literally grave robbers

Imagine now. They don't have to use an expensive Helicopter just to see the Landscape. Drones can do that today.

He has been out the game to long. So capitalism is going to be his only way to make $

This is pushing me so far into a rabbit hole about Viridius and all we don't know.

You are no better than grave robbers ,let the dead lie where they are buried.

I'm a redneck from Kentucky who married a small town english girl. I have a unique perspective on english sarcasm and whit. I do love them

Has anyone on Time Team fiddled with fountain pens so that they might consult with the new monarch on how the great anomaly itself King Charles himself is troubled by his desk toys cause him tantrums? Not to belittle this whole great team.

I love watching the crew sitting around at the end of the day enjoying a beer,real people there, this is one of my favorite channels on you tube, it just relaxes me, a good channel, I mean the time team, what a treasure

He has ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE OF ANY WRONG DOING! So now we are supposed to believe “HIS WORD ID LAW”——-NOT IN A BILLION YEARS—-will I ever believe a single word out of hairy’s mouth or his Pinocchio wife’s mouth!

Phil, you are a softie at heart and so respectful. Your work ethic is impeccable. 😊😊😍

Who’s the idiot that limited these to 3 days? Why not a week? It sounds good too!

You sir are a cad and a bounder!

This is my kind of reality tv.

He has a French name. Don't call him "Ghy" pronounce it as "Khie"

Phil is so gentle and respectful. Tony does all the talking.

I have been watching for years now from the US and wondering why only 3 days? Wouldn't 5 be best?

How interesting, That lady could instantly tell that the skull was of a women. Who was saying there was no difference between a man and a woman?
