This episode for me sums up why Time Team was so loved, and it reminds me too of something Tony said about Mick Aston, when he was talking about him after he passed. It was about not being afraid to have your mistakes, your errors, be seen. Not being afraid to be wrong, to an audience. I think that went for most of the experts Time Team had on the show. They'd do what they thought was right, they'd change their minds, they'd admit when they were wrong and try something else. More, perhaps, than you'd expect of people in those fields, or that line of work. It's that, to me, which eventually led to me chasing my passion to get into archaeology, myself.

Yee-eeess, but, as someone who is actually archaeologically trained it's frustrating to see how many mistakes are made because they have this ridiculous time limit. The number of times that it's not unti day three that they find an old map or a bit of standing building that prove vital is crazy - all that stuff should be studied and surveyed before you even put a single spade in the ground. As for this guy choosing to reverse long-established practice and work from the unknown to the known and then finding basically nothing at all... there's a reason why you don't do that and this is it.

@@LoneKharnivore Unfortunately the time limit was a basically immovable part of this arrangement, so debating it is kind of moot. The timeframe was what afforded them access the sites properly, and the funding from Channel 4 who were prepared to cover the costs and negotiate with the parties who controlled the sites. You're right, of course, it wasn't exactly optimal, or ideal, but it is what it is. And I think in the end, in the years the show was going, they at least touched on or discovered enough about most of the sites they visited to leave the door open for further excavations or investigation, in a longer-term sense. And I think that was worth something. It's worth remembering many of the locations they visited were places where local archaeologists were largely simply volunteers, or those with a personal interest, and lacked the means to properly investigate sites. TT opened the door to do that, however briefly. Sometimes the timeframe really killed them, sometimes it didn't, and they left places that have seen follow-up investigations for years.

An elderly man walked down the hill to see what we were doing and said, "Oh, that? My friend had a Model T Ford, and we put those rails in to support the car so we could dig underneath to get in to work on it."

I once returned to my blazing hot car on a summer day in the park, and with a smile, congratulated an elderly gentleman on being smart enough to park in the shade of a tree. He told me he had planted that tree thirty-eight years before, and we chatted for an hour, with him having to put his finger over his tracheotomy to talk. He told me about working at a mule livery when he was young, and the tale of his boss buying a new string of mules. It was going to take all day to get recalcitrant mules through the woods, down the valley and up the other side, so his boss decided to take them across the old railroad trestle that was once there. It was well over a hundred feet high, and the trains were still using it, but his boss checked the schedule and then led the mules on that terrifying span ...and the mules took one look down and behaved like perfect little ladies as they tiptoed across.

Only local archeologists had been inside but we got to go. Dad studied archeology and our trip was all about pyramids. When I was 13 we toured Native mounds all over that summer -Cahokia in missouri to effigy mounds Ohio, then over to the serpent mound and skipping around Kentucky, Illinois and back home to Missouri...Honestly I got sick of Mounds for a while then but still always was somewhat interested.

Across the road from the school were what were simply called the "bombed buildings "....from WW2. I used to play in them and search for anything of interest. The area has changed significantly but I still have fond memories.

In truth this was an episode that was either going to uncover a roman tomb, or or was going to find 'nothing'. Remarkably the discoveries (rare as they were) did actually 'increase knowledge', and we are all the better for that.

Finding old bones is a contractor's nightmare. In the U.S., stumbling across a Native American burial ground is the kiss of death for a project. I've wondered from time to time how much archeology was deliberately bulldozed into non-existence. While regretting the loss, the living takes precedence over the long dead. There are human remains, my wife's ashes, in my own home. People live, people die...Life goes on. Signs of debauchery means life wasn't all work and no play. Suggesting a stable environment. Stable is good, constant turmoil is bad. Prehistoric cremation confuses me. It takes a great deal of fuel to cremate a human body. I've said this before...Pottery kilns using the dead as fuel makes sense.

What I learnt working on this episode: 1)there were some serious Primadonnas involved in this show, from Robinson and Taylor downwards. Notable exceptions being the late Mick Aston, Harding and "Mick the Dig". 2)Approaching an established site and using your own, completely alien system of context numbers and then not telling the local archaeologists is a recipe for disaster when trying to tie it in to the wider site during post-ex. 3)Backfilling a public space, essentially a park or play area for the local kids with a backhoe JCB so that it looks like the Somme, is really not on; why go to the bother of hand cutting the turfs if this is what will happen? Never mind the local fall out and lack of goodwill shown to those who actually work on the site full time...I'm alright Jack. 4)It was really not appreciated when on the Monday the backfilling/clean up crew all head down the pub for a slap-up lunch paid for by the company, leaving the local archaeologists to it. We were still subcontracted/obliged to help with said backfilling. It was only when my gaffer remonstrated with the Hooray-Henry executive that we were begrudgingly fed. 5)It is highly recommended that when approaching a site which is active that you read the available literature: I had excavated part of the site literally a few months before with the late Roger Oram, with mixed results and the report - rushed through to make it available for TT - clearly stated areas which were devoid of archaeology. What do they do? Bang a trench right next to said sterile area and then complain that there is no archaeology: Tim Taylor obviously knows best.

I'm sorry, but I held this in as long as I could, but with this episode I just HAD to say something. I absolutely love Time Team , and I don't fault them at all, but I am beyond furious with the British government destroying historical sites by plopping down developments right on top of them without a care or any respect for what they are destroying forever! There are numerous episodes in this series with the same problem and I'm just appalled. And in this particular episode I'm surprised that people actually want to LIVE on top of a desicrated cemetery! I wonder if any of the residents experience hauntings? Here in the US building over a known cemetery or archaeological site is a big no no.

It's rather unavoidable in a country with a population density 8 times that of the US, and thousands of years of archaeology. The Victorians discovered the cemetery by accident, and at the time they were building on it, the burials were already 1700 years old. However, Section 25 of the Burial Act 1857 makes it an offence to remove buried human remains without a licence from the Secretary of State. So they will have needed permission.

Every time i watch this i always hope this is the time they uncover a complete Roman villa like the ones at Pompeii , i,ve yet to see them find anything other than the foundations but i still live in hope, and when i here there was a load of Roman buildings and other stuff that the builders found then just built houses on them, drives me crazy i know if we did,nt build on ancient archaeology then we would,nt have any space to put our homes, yet it still does my head in that they put the cost before the archaeology, i wish the government would fund some, cos all the good finds go to them any way.

Hey Tim Allen! I spent a year, on and off digging with Tim in Oxfordshire during a period of unemployment in the early 1980s. I often regret not pursuing this career. If you see this, I hope you remember us..Mark, (me) Hugh, Robin...and some others. I hope you are well. I dont remember any other names, exept, was it Nigel, with the Ford Anglia?

In this episode, Carenza says that a soldier and his wife might live outside the fort in a house but on another show some roman re-enactors said that roman soldiers were forbidden to marry and if they were married when they joined the army they had to divorce their wife. Which is correct?
@JuleyC

Essentially both, it would be a common law marriage until it could be a legal one. Or in cases of those who had to divorce they would remain together until they could legally marry again. Hence the use of the term wife despite not being in a legal marriage.

The big change came with the Emperor Septimius Severus who, in an attempt to "buy" the loyalty of the armies, declared that soldiers' marriages would henceforth enjoy full legal recognition

Yeah that is the difference, except cemetries where spread out, many burials found alongside Roman roads strange.
