Time Team Special: Rediscovering Ancient Britain (2012) - FULL EPISODE
Added 2024-07-31 10:10:19 +0000 UTCIt's the end of July, and just time for another Classic Special for our Patreon members.
In this gem from the archives, we head to the South Dorset Ridgeway, an ancient route littered with prehistoric monuments, not far from Time Team's recent dig overlooking Corfe Castle.
Alex Langlands explores the ridgeway on foot. Meanwhile Phil Harding puts his tools to the test... but what makes a better axe, bronze or flint?
What's more, for those interested in the notion of 'phenomenology' (as introduced by Lawrence during our Sutton Hoo coverage), this episode explores the concept in more detail.
COMING UP: Big Announcement and New Goals!
One year on from launching our 10,000 members target, we're preparing to announce some very exciting developments for the next 12 months. These include our next goals, new digs and the release of more Classic episodes.
So, if you've enjoyed Time Team over the last year, we can promise you're in for some real treats ahead!

2024-08-13 13:54:18 +0000 UTCUnique format for a specia, but loved it. It seems like forebear of Sir Tony’s walking history series.

2024-08-11 23:41:21 +0000 UTCI enjoyed this special. Just inland from Mary Anning territory :-). I thought Alex Langlands made a great point about experiencing the landscape in order to deepen our understanding of prehistoric peoples.

2024-08-04 00:22:16 +0000 UTCWhat a great format. The content was top shelf and well presented. It inspires me to hire a local guide and hike it “me self” (in the parlance of Phil H). Cheers from Texas.

2024-08-01 00:56:31 +0000 UTCTime Team as it was! Collegial, nostalgic, presented without false enthusiasm or geewhizzing, and full of information about new concepts in the science of archaeology. A beautiful episode. Thank you

2024-07-31 22:34:51 +0000 UTCAs I was watching it, I found myself wishing for an update — how has our understanding changed since this was filmed? Have new findings or techniques confirmed or up-ended any of the speculations made?

2024-07-31 21:23:55 +0000 UTCWhat a smashing program, seeing Alex and Phil explaining there thoughts during the process was fascinating. The people the met up with along the way, really did make it all come together. Well done everyone for another fascinating program. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

2024-07-31 18:46:59 +0000 UTCI loved this classic episode. I didn't know that Alex Langlands worked with Time Team. I first learned of Alex in the "Historic Farms" series with Peter Ginn and Ruth Goodman. What happened in the "disastrous s19 of time team"?

2024-07-31 12:19:06 +0000 UTCI always liked Alex and wish he was a bigger part in time team. Stuart Ainsworth was the OG and best lumps and bumps reader but Alex was badly served by being in the disastrous s19 of time team
