The Buried Ancient Roman Cemetery Inside A Dorset Hill | Time Team | Odyssey

Time Team has never let me down. I'm currently in hospital, since Christmas. Almost 5 months now. Lots of pain and misery. TT has been carrying me through.

The Porcine Unit of Archeologists deserve a big round of applause! They located AND cleaned the tesserae! "That's some pig!"

Seeing Phil in the trench with the chickens made me so happy lol

I found Time Team during the first lockdown. It made the nights more bearable after a long day of staring out a window. Tony, Phil, John and the whole team were like walking in and finding a family.

8:03… Even after all these years…Tony keeping everyone on their toes 😂😂… at John Gater an OG no less…man on a mission as always…god I love this sho

Really cool to see the reenacted progression of burial customs through the history of the area! It's amazing to see how much funerary practices can change even within a single (albeit long-running and wide-spread) cultural bloc such as the Roman Empire...

Phil and the chickens. Priceless

" Come on darling,,," is perhaps, my favorite Sir Tony quote.

I never comment but this show is sooo good. I hope you keep making shows from now on

Phil Harding, a man equally excited by 2,000 year old artifacts as a chicken with a worm. 😆

what gets me and I'm sure they get that sense too but just think about it. He is the first person to hold that little jar in 2000 years, a human just like us made that little thing and sat back in his/someone else's workshop and was satisfied they did a good job... it just shoves me right to that place where I can see it, I can feel what it was like and how they must've felt all those centuries ago.

Watched an old time team yesterday featuring a Norman castle in some guys back garden... #lifegoals!!

SIR Tony Robinson! Good ol' chap

Love the reruns . I just have the Willie's watching you do that mock burial poor guy laying in there.

This is such a great program, I love Tony’s enthusiasm. I like how they recreated the different burial techniques used over time. Like other programs it makes the program so much more interesting, like when they demonstrated how a Roman snake bracelet was made or how they smelted iron. It must be amazing to live in a country that has been occupied over thousands of years with every age of people leaving their mark.

Random thought about the bronze age body position... it does require much less digging to make the grave if you put the body in like they did; besides the symbolism mentioned this could be a very practical reason: digging a deep hole with bronze age tools might have taken quite some time? Also given the fact that people don't (always) die when the weather is great for digging too, they might have used it to make the task of grave digging as simple as possible? Has some professional thoughts about that theory?

Not a single chicken asked if they could enter Phil's trench. How rude!

I love the way they reenact things and the artist is amazing.

Always a pleasure to rewatch that great tv-show. What I'm missing in this second or third broadcast so many years after beeing filmed is : was there any further dig or survey after TT 3 days, and is there a link to a website showing some results ?

Amazing Informative and entertaining! I’d love to see them do some extended digs for us😊
