oh dear David seems like a trouble maker haha poor Bridgets face said it all in the cut away Comment from : Sonic Druid |

All over Britain beautiful houses like this were abandoned and pulled down shortly after the Roman legions left, and the people moved to hill forts It seems because they could not be defended For a thousand years the wealthy and powerful lived in some kind of fort or castle Only in the late 14th and early 15th century did they start to build something resembling this Roman villa or what we call the stately homes of old EnglandbrStunning to think how quickly civil society collapsed and how long it took to re establish law and order Comment from : Mr Danforth 374 |

Truly amazing find! I hope it gets, or has already been, fully excavated and evaluatedits got to be one of the very top villas in Britain Comment from : mcburcke |

As an Australian I am SO jealous of the history of England and finding awesome stuff like this Comment from : LoveratLoves |
 |
Andy has a great future! I appreciate his straightforward, informational style By far he and Ryan Hall are slam dunk the best❤ Comment from : Jeannie Waters |
 |
I like to think about the people who used to walk these corridors of tile They had no idea that one day the floor they were walking on would be excavated and posted onto some global sharing platform Weird to think that the every day objects we interact with during our lives will likely outlive us Comment from : Freejack Vesa |

So, in other words, the Romans treated pottery the way we treat McDonald's cups Comment from : WastedTalent |

After maybe half a dozen rewatches Ive finally noticed Tony saving face around at 14:00 cause he cant bare to admit he likes little finds just as much as big ones Thats a good chunk of plaster! Comment from : Hannah Brown |
 |
The home was large enough to look more like a public building such as a hotel - what an amazing dig this must have been - it would have been so exciting to be there on the ground when they were rediscovering this treasure And all because Trudy decided to do a bit of spot arachnology - bless her!

@ 19:49 use a brush FFS I truly can't stand him scratching like a maniac with that trovel or whatever it is Comment from : Jinnifer M |
 |
just t have some ting like that under my land would be wonder ful, I'd best do my to reconstruct the building and come up with a way too preserve the tiles i think soft slippers available for tourists, to walk where romans once walked would a wonder it would give one pause and make me think about the wonder Comment from : David Newland |
 |
What happens to the site? It's private land afterall Comment from : Mr2pint |
 |
Oh dang Can you imagine that farmer who plowed over the Mosaic lol Just minding your business with no idea you're dragging a metal blade across a 2,000 year old piece of history lol Comment from : JustinC87 |
|
|
Its really amazing how time has just worn away the walls and all the upper structure down and simultaneously just burried the foundations 6 inches under the dirt I realize that's almost 2,000 years Just kind of mind blowing regardless Amazing that so many floors and mosaics have been preserved for all that time Comment from : JustinC87 |
 |
Love the show, but i dont like the pretend 3 day limit Nobody with a brain believes that, you had to, and actually did all of this in 3 days Just be honest please Comment from : Kiilaslammas |
 |
How sad Mick wasn’t there to see this😢 Comment from : Kathy Walunas |
 |
Do the owners get paid for their find? Comment from : Stewardess777 |
 |

the other day I was digging a random hole down here in South Africa and low and behold I found ancient roman artifacts a friend of a friend of a friend dated it for me he reckons you guys need to fly over here is the deal you can take from the 20 x 75m hole whatever you want the one side must be 3ft deep and the deep end 6ft really bring your friends a lot to be discovered once you are done, dont stress about the hole I will replicate the mosiac and line the ancient hole with cement finally preserve everything with water Comment from : Dr Evil |

Meanwhile over here in America I’m feeling like Sherlock Holmes as I try to find out what previous tenant or owner of my multi family home took the time and effort to paint the creepy, racist Sambo clowns on the walls of my basement… Comment from : Amarican_Ball Universe Inc {Godzilla MIBU Ever} |

Shame the didn’t leave any record of who they were exactly, and how would no one know it was there? Comment from : John Russelman |
 |
It must have been an amazing privilege for Time Team to have had the first dig opportunity at this wonderful site Given its significance, was there ever additional excavations done at later dates, any new discoveries about its history? Comment from : The Calendar |
 |
So what happens to this dig after the 3rd day? Doe's a local archeological group continue or is it just recorded and covered up again? Comment from : Robert Slusser |
 |
If anyone wonders why it was "the Dark Ages", Britain's countryside went from living like this to dung-and-straw huts and river-clay thumb pots for almost 1000 years after Rome fell Civilization is wild, it really is Comment from : fghfg |
 |
Terrific find, but why just three days? Comment from : Studio Pluche |
 |
Imagine being on neighbours at war but its time team and roman mosaics😅 Comment from : Holly xxx |
 |
wow what a fantastic find, so special so unique, hope they keep digging, would love to see it competed Comment from : Mark Harris |
 |
Did it rot away do to abandoned neglect and savaging or was it destroyed on purpose? Was it already a ruin when it was torn down? Or did the owner have the wrong friends? Many unanswered questions It could take years of archeology to uncover it all Are people still digging the site today? Comment from : Randy Wise |
 |
Gotta love how John fucks with Uncle Phil Comment from : William Jefferson Clinton |
