"Timothy Allen Dick (Denver (Colorado), 13 juni 1953) is een Amerikaanse komiek, acteur en voice-over. Hij is bekend van de televisieserie Home Improvement en films als The Santa Clause, Toy Story van Disney en Wild Hogs. Tim Allen, zoon van Martha Katherine en Gerald M. Dick, werd geboren in Denver, Colorado. Hij was een van de zes kinderen thuis. Zijn vader kwam te overlijden toen Tim nog maar 11 jaar oud was. Hij kreeg een dodelijk auto-ongeluk, toen hij met een dronken bestuurder meereed. Twee jaar later hertrouwde zijn moeder met William Bones. Ze verhuisde naar Detroit toen Tim 13 jaar was. Hij heeft gestudeerd aan Seaholm Highschool in Birmingham, Michigan en aan de universiteit in Kalamazoo, Western Michigan University. Toen hij op de universiteit in Michigan zat, ging het gerucht dat hij cocaïne gebruikte. Dit werd op 2 oktober 1978 bevestigd toen Allen en een vriend gearresteerd werden op het vliegveld van Kalamazoo. Ze werden gepakt met 1,4 pond cocaïne en Tim Allen hing een levenslange gevangenisstraf boven het hoofd, maar hij sloot een deal waardoor hij minder straf zou krijgen. Hij getuigde tegen zijn partner, waardoor hij in plaats van levenslang, 3 tot 7 jaar gevangenisstraf kreeg. Uiteindelijk heeft hij 2 jaar en 4 maanden in de gevangenis gezeten.

Samenvatting
Recent excavations at Taplow Court have revealed a long sequence of activity stretching from the Mesolithic to the Anglo-Saxon period. Mesolithic struck flints and charred hazelnuts, and early Neolithic flints, were found in a small number of tree-throw holes.
Recent excavations at Taplow Court have revealed a long sequence of activity stretching from the Mesolithic to the Anglo-Saxon period. Mesolithic struck flints and charred hazelnuts, and early Neolithic flints, were found in a small number of tree-throw holes. A group of inter-cutting hollows or shallow pits of Early Bronze Age date included sherds of Collared Urn and worked flint, rare evidence of domestic activity of this period. There were also finds of the middle Bronze Age, although no features of that phase were confirmed. In the late Bronze Age, a defensible hilltop enclosure about 1.2 ha was constructed on the site. The enclosure, probably first established in the 11th century cal BC, had a complex sequence of defences including a pair of post-rows possibly indicating a timber palisade backed by a raised walkway, a trench-built palisade, a ditch and rampart and further posthole-lines outside the ditch. Only a limited area of the interior was examined, but includes a series of parallel fence lines, one probable roundhouse and up to five possible four-post structures, with occupation extending into the 9th century cal BC. Following a probable hiatus in activity represented by a standstill deposit in the upper part of the ditch, a larger U-profiled hillfort ditch was constructed in the Early Iron Age, probably in the 5th century cal BC, the spoil being dumped over the previous ditch to form a timber-laced rampart, which was soon after destroyed in places by fire. The remains of the charred timbers within the rampart have revealed some details of its construction. The ditch however remained open into the Saxon period, and another internal roundhouse may be Middle Iron Age. A third and even larger V-profiled ditch was found outside the second ditch. Although the date of construction of this outer ditch is uncertain, it too remained open into the Saxon period, suggesting that the hillfort had many ditches its later stages. Price is approximate.
