Just watched this one. I have agree with Jenni, this is also my favourite of the series (so far!) The enthusiasm of the houseowner (Penny?) was great to see, as was her digging in Phil’s trench. As I saw it, the lead based glaze (sparkly!) worked the best, whereas the other one didn’t get hot enough to melt on the brick. A little leap of faith, I thought, in finding two walls 50ft (?) apart, then declaring, “We’ve found the Great Hall!”, because, “They’re normally that size”! I know they had that lovely old plan to work from, but a little more proof for me, please!

A lot more banter shown between the Team, which I enjoyed, especially JG asking MA, “Are you going to be digging today?”, MA answered, “Only if it warms up!”

Not my favourite period, but an enjoyable and interesting programme!

I enjoyed this one too! Although it was a little disconcerting to see Francis-the-Bronze-Age-man in charge of an Industrial dig! I also, quite seriously, wondered if the coin was some kind of offering, but I missed exactly where it was found. Bob wondered who was going to pay for the car park reinstatement – I wondered, from the look of it and from the obviously-redeveloped area around it, whether they were digging precisely because the area is about to be built on and the mill remains lost under glass and steel and concrete. Does anyone know?_________________

Have you guessed who I am yet?

Just finished watching this and it was good, but it felt a bit bitty. I got the impression that if they’d had more people (what is the collective noun for achaeologists?) that they’d have been able to find out a bit more. Give the top field someone like Carenza and a group of archaeologists tasked with finding the villa, then split the rest of the people between the other two fields. When the villa was relocated and posistioned they could have helped out on the rest of the site, possibly looking more into the spring or the temple._________________Wanted: 1 signature.

That is an interesting site, Jean. Listening to R5 at work yesterday morning, there was a 3hr programme all about the civil war in Former Yugoslavia. To ease the fragile ethnic tensions, which still exist, possible victims of genocide are called “the missing” (as I think victims of the Junta are in Argentina) The main priority, when a body(ies) is found, is to identify that person and let their family give them a proper burial._________________
