Back To Turkdean: Revisiting One Of Britain's Largest Roman Sites | Time Team

I love how they keep their bloopers in. The guy who lost the coin is hilarious.

Imagine if Time Team received a royal commission to excavate the entire site, over a period of months. What wondrous and historical objects they would find.

Seeing that functioning water canal is amazing! To know it still functions after 1700 years is absolutely fantastic!

realizing this was filmed in 1998. a real ancient discovery in itself! love seeing young phil!

To think that the ancient roman water system was still working after a 1000 years is mind boggling. My towns pipes break at least every two to three years - shabby modern tech, lol.

The still functioning Roman water aqueduct is simply stunning. It was built long before America was founded, before the U.K. existed as a nation.

Love this show almost 30 years later.

@23:30 Drain inspectors come to inspect your roman spring.... Looks good . Right your clear for another 1800yrs with this lead sticker. Dont lose it.

23:00 that truly is amazing. Engineering at its finest. And they were kind enough to cap the water so nobody would get wet socks a few centuries later

Not only did the goddess fortuna allow them to excavate a field not destroyed by plows (seemingly, for once!), but it turned out to be one of the most impressive and well preserved Roman sites in all of Britain. Time team has taught us that other fields in England have received English heritage’s highest grade status due to dodgy things like map-makers/surveyors recording supposed locations solely based on townspeople’s rumors and finding things as little as a few brooches or flint flakes… so I hope this field got the protection it deserves.

I loved how excited Mick was in the helo in the first dig. He is sincerely missed.

those underground culverts with running water blew my mind... like thats been running like that for alll this time? man its so cool...

Finding a conduit with running water is the most amazing thing I have seen on any Time Team. So old.

Second time at Turkdean was even better than the first time and even that was great.

That is absolutely amazing that the spring and water system survived 1600+ years.

That flowing water was so clear and fast! Incredible. Just amazing!

I love the way Mick Aston gets so excited he keeps saying 'look...look...look...'

I just started watching these shows about a month ago I really like them and Phil he's just crazy cool 😎

I love that they involved the school children with the cleaning of the pottery sherds!

This site is amazing! Still functional after almost 2000 years!
