Top Comments of this video!! :3
This is why I'm fascinated by archaeology, the unraveling of the past lives of people who lived very differently than we do. Great program, love the Time Team! Oh, & as for the comment that these were celibate men amassing huge fortunes, I wouldn't count on all that celibacy. Anyone else find it odd that the Bishop's bestie was buried in the FAMILY chapel? Wouldn't be the first time!

Ha!! Great shot at 12:23 of Rackshaw hard at work and Matt getting caught in a yawn behind!

I quite like what interesting little snippets we get from such digs. What I dislike is how the programme's powers that be insist on everything being blown out of proportion. "We're re-writing the history of this cathedral" [add a series of exclamation points]. "It's a mysterious burial" [awe and wonder]. It's all interesting for sure. But it is also what you'd expect from a dig site like this.

100% cathedrals were built as much for letting lower classes know their place as it is glory to god. The grandeur of the church itself before reformation was designed to keep the peasantry in their places, so to speak. As someone who has studied and practices in this in Eastern Europe, it is easier to see when dealing with serfdom over the feudal focus of Western Europe. Both are prevalent

Love how they give us little glimpses into the life as an archaeologist, like when they caught Matt in the middle of that huge yawn when Racksha (sp?) was going over the site of the bell tower they were excavating. His little start and guilty grin was hilarious.
