The Race To Protect Priceless Ancient Artefacts From The British Army | Time Team | Odyssey

Better than finding truffles, rarer than diamonds - unearthing a 'Time Team' episode you haven't in fact seen before!! 😁

Damn, I love Phil's attitude. He just loves learning stuff and delights in getting right into the work.

Sennelager training ground in Germany has been off limits to civilians since about 1948. Irrespective of the multitude of military exercises on the area for the last 70 odd years the German government has deemed it a nature reserve. Soltau, however, which was a military training area was handed back to the German government 30 years ago and opened to the public. It has suffered terribly. I still remember Ex soltau womble, when every unit would send troops to soltau to comb the area with bin bags to remove any rubbish left by the years training. Apparently this has not been continued by authorities since it has been handed back and nature is suffering.

I have just dated this episode from an important find. Those massive great computers at 29:08. Imagine the effort in having to cart those about- when today you'd be able to stroll in with a laptop backpack and be set up with no issue.

Building ‘Round House’ shelters should be a required skill in the army.

Makes me want to rush out and try building a round house! Most excellent episode I had never seen before either!!

Oh no Phil broke out his Daisy Dukes again 🤣

I often think about how strong Phil’s back and shoulder muscles must be.

I would totally live in one of those round houses.

Yay Mick Worthington shaved his beard off .... and was actually quite nice underneath 🙂🙂

Gotta love the thumbnail for this video.. since when is the British army using WW2 German Tiger tanks?

knew that the plains are big so goodness knows what old stuff it has on it dating back to gods knows when amazing just love it

i actually think that putting clay on a round hose would be fun. building a round house would be fun

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful the shot at 21:49 and onwards is. Amazing choice of photography.

The banjo enclosures with evidence of habitation, could be evidence of the transitional period between a managed wild landscape and full agriculture. It stands to reason that a trap for concentrating wildlife would eventually be seen as valuable infrastructure. Certainly infrastructure necessary to process meat and feed captured animals would add value to the trap. As the traps became less necessary to the food economy, they would evolve into high status centres of food production. The shape of the trap could well have evolved into a high status sign of a rich land owner: the iron age equivalent of a large barn, or grain silo, or windmill pump. Just a thought.

Love you Baldric, Happy 🐣🐣🐣, to you and everyone.

Love the sight of Carenza’s hair.

How i wish that i was part of time team digging for past history

Love this episode

Thank you.
