How about Seahenge being a conduit between realms? We'll never know, just as we will never know with certainty what motivated Bronze Age or even Iron Age people or about their spirituality and meaning behind certain practices.

i think people are over thinking the tree circle. it was a fucking fish trap.. we use to use something very similar on the east coast. the water comes in on high tide the fish and crabs and other stuff gets caught the tree in the middle is to stand on... why do people always over think shit or omg its spiritual.. when simply a great way catch a lot food very easy.

Reading the wikipedia, it says that there's been found another one of these Holmes, but it was washed away since the archeologists got yelled at last time they messed with the original one.

I love this series and thank all team members through the years. I particular love the episodes under the supervision of Mick Aston, who was way ahead of his time, far-seeing and inclusive without dogma or convention really swaying him. Best of all he wasn't really into theories but enlivened trench digging with imagination based on what was really found. This is so rare in science. So sorry for his passing in 2013: we miss you, Mick Aston.

There are upside down trees on Prince Edward island off Canada's west coast as well.

"Thousands, or even HOUNDREDS of years ago".... Lolz

Stop the commercial disease....give humanity a break

waste of time just dig and find..........we can all theorize

I think the guy was right about the inverted tree in the ground at the sea shore
that woman was just talking nonsense -
Tony, you blew it. At 5:03 you say that the Home Guard would have used armoured Austin Healey's to repel German Panzers. WWII finished in 1945 while the first Austin Healey did not get produced until 1952, so there is a slight mistake.

Great show thanks for the upload!! RIP Mick..

to understand what they found they tried to live and think as their subject matter.. I used to be an active re-enactment persona with the SCA for 17yrs and for 2 weeks out of the year we would participate in a "war" at the end of the mass gathering and it was those experiences that gave me the closest understanding about the b past that I feel anyone could get.

Now, I don't know what the Home Guard's grooming standards were like, but, I'm pretty sure Phil's hair wouldn't have been allowed.

Where the water runs in Roman aquaducts, there's an extremely hard plaster that lines them and hasn't been eroded away after 2000 years of water flow. When analysed it tests at 900Mpa - as hard as glass. Further analysis showed it's a mix of slaked lime + sand + pozzolanic fly ash cement from a volcano + a secret ingredient. That secret was urea.. and further analysis showed it's urine.. maybe from a bull, maybe from the human workers. This prompted much research, and it is found that when ureaic acid is added to concrete it hardens it phenomenally - when in the exactly right proportions. How did the Romans know?.. Or did Mario piss accidentally into the cement mortar everytime it was mixed?.. perhaps as a result of all that vino... After a lifetime in building design I conclude this.. Humans are getting dumber not smarter. (architect)

Hey, great vid, if you are interested, we are doing a massive dig in the Bujang Valley in Kedah, Malaysia, its the oldest site to date in SEA with dates confirmed as early as the 1st century... really neat 'candi' findings so far, check us out on facebook if you are interested in being a part of it.. look for 'The Bujang Valley Expedition'

The Sergeant turned out to be a very good actor :)

How very brilliant! Thank you, Reijer for uploading the one episode I stupidly missed.

Especially brilliant episode from an incredible series!Time Team's efforts in reconstructing and comprehending the vital skills of our ancestors has lent the modern world a true appreciation for their countless contributions.If Mum and Dad took their tots to a museum and only let the tikes stare at each exhibit,we'd have far less depth of understanding then the hands-on reproductions these wonderful folks have created.Loads of respect for them all!Cheers and thanks for the uploads!

Tony Robinson celebrates the more than 150 practical experiments and re-creations that he and the Team have conducted over 20 years in order to unlock the mysteries exposed by their digs. Rebuilding - and even reliving - the past is a controversial area of archaeology. But it's one that Time Team has long championed, and one that has yielded some amazing results. This programme revisits some of the programme's greatest hits, from recreating individual objects such as Stone Age axes, Roman pewter bowls, medieval pottery and a Stone Age sword that throws new light on the myth of King Arthur's Excalibur, to building an entire Iron Age house and a Roman machine that lifted water from a deep well. The programme also revisits some of Time Team's forays into living history, from finding out what it felt like to be in Dad's Army to surviving 24 hours as a Victorian prisoner, in an attempt to see the past through our ancestors' eyes. Plus how a huge and - at times - contentious experiment for the programme finally solved the riddle of Seahenge.
