Time Team has never excavated a watermill before. Despite the fact that they were plentiful in historic times, these features have been under-researched. Heading to the River Otter in Devon, the team excavated a site dating back at least to the Domesday Book of 1086, yet the last mill building on the site was pulled down as recently as the 1960s. They are joined by Martin Watts (mill historian), industrial archaeologist Mike Nevell, and Finds specialist John Allan. Tony visits the working mill at nearby Otterton.

It's been a stressful couple days for me, and not much is more relaxing than an old episode of Time Team. It's a great show for just taking it easy.

I've learned from this that if you're a male English archeologist, you have to cut off your own jeans into shorts, and never take them to a seamstress to hem them.

I've worked on a post Civil War era water powered mill here in the Blue Ridge in Virginia. The gearing is similar with a fairly low quality cast iron great gear with wooden insert teeth. I have one old worn out tooth that was half buried and very beetle eaten. We found several new replacements up in the mill. They were embossed with a makers mark and I believe were reversable to extend their life. I've been told they were elm which with its interlocked grain makes sense, they would not split as easily. The old timers referred to a likely mill site as a "mill seat". It was very common to have a mill seat that had multiple mills on it through history. Flood, fire, economy and changing needs. Many times a flutter wheel powered sash type sawmill predates a grain mill as a community developed. My personal mill is a 1917 "portable" stone mill, very popular during prohibition :D Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

These Time team videos are always wonderful and interesting! They soothe the archaeologist part of me that I’ll never get the chance to do myself! On top of ot all is the scenes of the beautiful English countryside!

I love these shows. That wood burning stove reminded me of my Grandma's stove. She cooked many a meals on that over the years. That's where I learned to love slightly burnt pancakes, with peanut butter, thanks to Grampa.

I would dearly love to know those places with that kind of continuous occupation in my homeland. So I get vicarious pleasure from UK archaeology. There's that.

At 36:36 Stu looks up, as the soft coronet music is playing, as if he was looking for its source. Gotta know, was that purposeful, or just an accident of editing...

Wouldn't have been a bit easier to do the archeology before the thing was knocked down?

Love these videos, but this one has me confused. They keep referring to grinding corn. Wouldn't they have been predominately grinding wheat? Certainly looks more like wheat in both the hand and mill stone segments, and the mill historian uses the term Grain.
