There is an interesting Rockshelter in Avella Pennsylvania USA at Meadowcroft Village. The excavation takes human use back 16000 years. I live close and it has been fun to see the site evolve.

49 years old and I giggled at Tony when he said, “While Chris is barbecuing the balls…”. Guess I’m not quite mature enough despite my age!

What a beautiful little village at the end there. It would be amazing if it was rebuild and used as a BB, or small country hotel, with Roman style amenities, and even farm work, mosaic workshop, etc. for fun of course. Live, relax like a Roman. I think it would be a hit.

One does wonder how magnificent it would be to make a documentary about every single archeological find (...by one and the same narrator and presentation) in ones own country and not just of those in Britain.

2000 years and the plumbing is still working, excellent!
-
Every time I watch an ancient rome documentary, I just can't imagine these glorious buildings no longer standing.
-
The thing that gets me about these early Time Team episodes is the people you will find in the trenches with a trowel in their hand;. From Dr David Neal in this one, to Prof. Alice Roberts in the 2nd to last one i watched about the Shetland Islands.

I had just started a new job when this was originally filmed, now almost 26 years later, I am 4 years from retiring from that job. Amazing how time passes so quickly.

I always get a little melancholy pondering that the people who lived and worked here are all but forgotten. And their lovely homes and gardens and fields only have maybe the base part of them buried under a meter of soil. 😢

Bless these guy's with their instinctic passion for archeology. Love them all past and present 😊❤❤❤

At that time not SIR yet.But still, this is and was and always will eb Tony Robinson in his element!!!!!! And since i haven't seen this episode yet, definitely interesting what -geofiz - came up in this - other part - of the valley.

I've just thought of a new drinking game. Take a drink every time someone on the team says the phrase "high status." You'll be drunk off your ass in ten minutes or less.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you.

Pedantry alert. At 47:30, the windows in the central aisle are named: clerestory. I was astonished to find out that the traditional pronunciation of this word (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary) is "clear-storey." Makes sense all round--that's what it is, a level of the building that is clear to let in light, and it's perfectly fine Middle English spelling. It's just so counter-intuitive that it could be so simple. What a brilliant series of TV programmes this is.
