Time Team Top 10

4/1/2022

Phew!  I have completed Thirty-One Days of Time Team!  It was a challenge but it was a fun challenge at the same time.  I learned so much about archeology in England and am glad that the Time Team is coming back.  So I will wrap up Thirty-One Days of Time Team with my top 10 list of Time Team episodes.  This list is my opinion of the best time team episodes and is not endorsed by the Time Team.

1. The Guerilla Base of the King - YouTube
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.*

2. A Saintly Site - YouTube
They are investigating some lumps and bumps of a potential chapel site.  Locals had been investigating the area for several years and then decided to bring Time Team in for help.  This site will prove to be a challenge for Time Team because it is on a rocky outcropping, with rocks on top of a wall.  Will the Time Team find a chapel underneath all the rubble?  Watch this episode to find out!  Mick is really in his element in this episode.  *Highly recommended for research purposes.*

3. All About Westminster Abbey - YouTube
Westminster Abbey was the vision of King Henry VIII.  It was the place where coronations were held.  King, Queens, Princes, and Princesses were buried there.  Prime Ministers too were buried there as well.  Royal weddings took place in the Abbey as well.  Westminster Abbey played a significant role in British History.  There is one piece of the abbey that is missing: a sacristy.  The sacristy allegedly held the biggest hoard of treasure this side of the Alps.  This building vanished without a trace.  *Highly recommended for a history class and independent study students.*

4. 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.*

5. 1066: The Lost Battlefield - YouTube
In this Time Team special the team tries to find the 1066 battlefield.  William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066 changing the course of English history.  Where this history took place is a mystery.  No archeological evidence of the 1066 battlefield has been found.  The Time Team investigates the official 1066 battlefield and looks at other possible sites.  It is a fascinating look at how history can be proven wrong and be corrected.  *Highly recommended for a high school history and science classroom.  Highly recommended for independent study students.*

6. Trouble with the Temples: YouTube
Time Team has had trouble with finding Roman temples in Britain.  Tony Robinson shows a photo that indicates that there is a Roman temple in the field.  The photo is so clear, that it is clear that there is a temple in the field.  We will see.  The aerial photo shows the temple’s footprints.  However, the temple may have been damaged due to plowing.  Will Time Team find a temple?  Or is the temple something else?  *Recommended for research purposes.* 

7. King John's Lost Palace - YouTube
Time Team is investigate a site in Sherwood Forest.  This is the place where legends were born.  Robin Hood gave King John and the Sheriff of Nottingham fits.  Local legend holds it that King John had a palace at the edge of the palace.  Tony is excited about the possibilities of this site.  However, they have their work cut out for them.  Are they on the verge of discovering a lost palace?  *Recommended for History, English, and independent study students.*

8. The Lost City of Roxburgh - YouTube
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.*

9. Hermit Harbour - YouTube
Monks, ghosts, treasure maps, shipwrecks, and dramatic coasts are the highlights of Cornwall.  However, it was off the Cornish coast where the first rumblings of Christianity in Britain were heard.  The Time Team will face a new challenge with this dig.  The tides only allow the team to spend five hours digging on the island.  They are on the search for two chapels, one on the island and one built into the hilltop.  *Recommended for a history class and for independent study students.*

10. 
The Lost Palace - YouTube
Kew Gardens is the setting for the Time Team.  This was the site of the home of King George III called the white house palace.  It was a favorite of King George III.  The White House Palace was where King George III spent his later, made years locked up.  What did it look like?  Where was it located in the gardens?  Time Team has three days to find out more about the palace.  *Recommended for a history class and for independent study students.*
