It's sites like this that challenge Mike's assertions that you could learn almost everything you needed to know about a site to understand it in the first three days of a dig. Three days only allowed the team to touch the top of the first layer of a 10-layer cake of mystery, most of those layers being ones we will never be able to comprehend.

I think Victor was an amazing man with immense talent and a kind heart. His work is amazing as his life was full of trials.
-
The descriptions of his difficulties really make me curious about the quality and work of John Pull versus the two doctors who seemed to work so hard to stop him.

I love binge watching Time Team🥰👍
-
What a wonderful find--this channel! I have always had a keen interest in archaeology.
-
Id just like to point out that Time Team have their own YT channel, have uploaded all their episodes since the 90's and are uploading new episodes periodically. I think its roughly 19 seasons.
-
So they mined flint and put it back into the ground. Sounds to me like a good way to store flint, it takes time to get from finding flint to making a product from it. It wouldn't be logical to produce flint products from scratch each time they were needed and flint was valuable enough to trade. Burying flint to store it makes sense.

Im tired of hearing about the panic. I think Ill binge watch the Time Team.😁
-
The most satisfying aspect to this episode. Blackpatch is still a very important site and is now a scheduled monument. Well done Mr Pull
-
Excellent video guys. Fantastically done! Thank You.
-
💗 these so much! The OG of British archaeological entertainment!
-
I wonder if that circle was an early form of a warehouse, or maybe was meant as a cache for later use.
-
I dont think that flint was buried. I think it was stocked piled for their use and most probably trade. Its the thousand of years that filled it in. The time team missed an opporunity by not checking the quality and sizes of the rock as they were digging it up. I find it annoying that our ancestors arent given full respect for being very clever. Not everything is about superstition.

Outstanding, fabulous, fascinating. Thank you!!
-
This is for sure gonna be my bed time story to night!

I love to watch Time Team and it is sad that they don't make this show anymore. I didn't like the new people at the end. They just didn't seem to fit. There have been several of the people on the show that have passed away like Victor, Mick, and the professionals who used to come in and talk. But at least we have the ability to watch the old shows.
-
Great film, fascinating, intriguing, and filled with wonder (and flint).
-
I love this episode!
-
I almost wonder if the "reburied" flint was more of a stash by seasonally traveling people to come back to the next warm season????
-
Perhaps the pits were to store the flints which I am sure were difficult to mine. Why not put it in a "sacred burial type circle" to keep the looters away and safeguard the flint for future use and trading? John Pull's work was fascinating. Sorry he was given such a hard time and not recognized until many years later.
