Good morning, this is the final blog in the series on Title Suggestions for 2023. This section is for the Time Team documentaries that the teacher can show in the classroom! Sometimes you just need something in your quiver that you can show for fun. This is a new section for 2023!
If I suggest a series, then pick an episode from the series to show in the classroom. I hope that this list helps teachers with their lesson plans for the school year! The Guerilla Base of the King - YouTube (50:29) Our first episode of Time Team comes from Season 1, Episode 1. Tony Robinson is younger and has long hair. The Time Team goes to Somerset County and explores the base of King Alfred the Great. King Alfred the Great was fleeing from the Danes. The site they excavate was the base of King Alfred the Great. They are not sure what they will find on the field. Did Alfred the Great have a base on this Somerset Land? *Highly recommended for research purposes.* In Search of Henry V's Flagship Grace Dieu - YouTube (48:38) Time Team searches for Henry V’s Flagship the Grace Dieu. They are searching on the River Hamble. It was Henry V’s huge flagship. She had only one voyage and was eventually abandoned. The story was that it was struck by lightning and burned to the waterline. There is evidence of a ship on the bottom of the river. Was she too big to sail? Was she a failure? What will the Time Team find? *Highly recommended for history and science independent study students.* The Lost City of Roxburgh - YouTube (48:04) Five hundred years ago on the Scottish border, there was a plain that housed one of the wealthiest cities in Scotland. A once-thriving city is now gone. The only thing that remains is the ruins of a castle. So what happened to this city? Why did no one dig it before? Time Team is going to be doing some fresh archelogy on the site to learn more about Roxburgh. How will the Time Team tackle this assignment? *Highly recommended for a history class.* Iron Age Trading Post - Green Island - YouTube (47:50) The Time Team will be excavating an island in Dorset in Poole Harbor. This island was the hub of trade for Dorset. Green Island has produced some interesting finds. Despite the finds, the island has never been properly excavated. So the Time Team is on the case. Will Green Island give up its secrets to the Time Team? Was Green Island the hub of trading for the Dorset coast? *Recommended for a history class and for independent study students.* Dig by Wire - YouTube (46:50) Time Team is heading on over to Gateholm Island. This island is off the coast of Pembrokeshire and a handful of objects have been found over the years. It is one of the most dangerous and inaccessible places Time Team has ever excavated. Tony Robinson will have to zipline over to the island. Did the original inhabitants have an easier way to get to the island? What will the Time Team discover about the island? Gateholm is managed by the National Trust and hopes that Time Team will unlock the secrets of the island. *Recommended for an archeology class.* Lord of the Isles - YouTube(46:07) There was a set of ruins that dominated a kingdom in Scotland for decades. The Time Team will brave the rain to explore a Scottish Island. The National Museum of Scotland has partnered with the Time Team to excavate the site. It is important for the Time Team to help with this dig because the National Museum will run out of money to fund the dig. Once the money runs out, there will be no more digs. What will the Time Team find out about the Lords of the Isles? *Highly recommended for a fun day in history class.* An Incredible Discovery in Turkdean - YouTube Time Team is called to explore the origins of some lines in the ground in a farm field. The farmer and amateur archeologists seem to hint that it is a site of a Roman villa. Who built it? Why did they build it? The team tackles this assignment by land and by air. The team digs in and discovers that the site is home to the biggest Roman villa discovered in England. *Highly recommended for a history classroom in both middle school and high school. Highly recommended for independent study students.* Return to Turkdean - YouTube The Time Team is back at Turkdean. When they originally visited Turkdean, they found a range of buildings. However, geophysics threw everyone for a loop and found more buildings on the site. Eighteen months later, the Time Team is back to excavate this new site on Turkdean. The ground showed a network of rooms that were strung together. Trench after trench got bigger and bigger during the original dig. What will the Time Team find out about the new site? *Highly recommended for a history classroom in both middle school and high school. Highly recommended for independent study students.* Rooting for Romans - YouTube Time Team is back looking for Roman ruins. They are in the woods in Cambridgeshire. The forest may seem to be the enemy of the archeologists. However, with a lidar-generated scan, Tony was able to show a picture of something in the ground in the woods. Is it a Roman Villa? Or is it a Roman Ironworks? The trees will be a problem for geophysics. A second problem is that they are digging in a national preserve. Time Team will be risking bug bites to dig the site. What will they find in three days? Tune into this episode to find out. *Highly recommended for a history classroom in both middle school and high school. Highly recommended for independent study students.* Street of the Dead - YouTube (47:17) Tony Robinson introduces the episode by holding a Roman Brick. This brick has names scratched on it and this brick could be the names of the soldiers that were stationed at Fort Vinovia. Today, Vinovia is Binchester. The Time Team will be excavating the Roman Vicus, the settlement that supported the fort. It is the first time the Time Team is excavating a Vicus. What will the Time Team find? What can the finds tell us about Roman fort life? *Recommended for research purposes and a history fun day.*
