Phil Harding: Insights from 50 years as an archaeologist

Here's Phil Harding, star of Time Team, talking about his life in archaeology. The video is chiefly aimed at those taking up a similar career themselves.

It's interesting as history because he says that when he began as an archaeologist it wasn't a profession and was barely a job - you were paid subsistence rather than wages.

As I recently suggested, Time Team's cancellation rivals the death of David Bowie as the event after which everything started going wrong.
