Dig Watch | Norton Disney: Day One
Added 2024-10-05 16:55:47 +0000 UTCWithout further ado, here's Derek and Lawrence with highlights from our first day here at Norton Disney in Lincolnshire.
As you can see, it's been a hive of activity for the local community with many test pits getting underway across the village.
Join us again tomorrow evening for Day Two.
Don't forget: Dig Watch is your exclusive all access pass, behind the scences during the filming of a new episode. The full story and conclusions will be revealed following post-excavation analysis in the completed episode, to be released next year.

2024-10-16 05:38:43 +0000 UTCDr. Sophie Kay, Thank you for explaining everything to me. I enjoyed the Dig Watch, but I just couldn't figure it out. I look forward to seeing this video when completed. Debbie Fetsch

2024-10-16 05:35:18 +0000 UTCHi Debbie, yes as Michele notes, the full story and conclusions will be revealed in the completed episode. What you have seen in the Dig Watch coverage is an exclusive look behind the scenes during the filming of the episode, direct from the field. Now, the post-excavation / post-production process begins, when finds are processed and analysed, various reports are written up and many hours of footage are reviewed. All of this is combined in order to deliver the final story, and to produce the reconstruction models, which rely on all that information. It's an intricate and time-consuming process, but exciting to see it all come together. (The final Winfarthing cemetery story, for example, was largely informed by Naomi's environmental analysis back in the lab.) We'll update you on any developments as they occur in the build up to the release. In the meantime, we still have some more coverage to come from Norton Disney, including a Q&A session with genealogist and ancestry expert, Dr Sophie Kay.

2024-10-15 08:32:50 +0000 UTCThis isn’t the actual episode, it’s just a quick behind the scenes preview of what they’re doing and what has been found. The actual completed episode with all information comes out next year.

2024-10-14 16:10:56 +0000 UTCIs there going to be another video to explain everything you found and put it all together. What happened to the old Manor? You never found it. I never saw any of the geo physics with or from John Gator. It was confusing for me. This dig was collecting things to me, but for what? No explanation Before what you showed us and explained to us. We could see it coming together. You used to make me feel like an archaeologist. I was learning all the time.

2024-10-10 19:43:45 +0000 UTCHi, no this is a brand new dig with all the coverage shot, edited, uploaded and posted direct from the field in Norton Disney this weekend!

2024-10-07 19:00:12 +0000 UTCIS this not old? I remember one of the Disney clan on before?

2024-10-07 10:35:18 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure "jeton" is French for "token". Those test pit banners are a nice innovation. We didn't have them at Sutton Hoo - but we did use the same "QR Code / Dropbox Upload" technique. Anyhow a nice first day.

2024-10-06 00:36:57 +0000 UTCSuch fun ! Wish I was there ! 😁
Tom Gooden
2024-10-06 00:32:51 +0000 UTCTT, Op Nightingale, and Waterloo Uncovered…now that would be a Trifecta. Phil, are you listening?🤠

2024-10-05 23:57:48 +0000 UTCDawn Hadley, a previous TT contributor, would be nice.
Eggs Ackley
2024-10-05 23:46:32 +0000 UTCAlso loved how the editing had D and J drinking beer in the morning and then five minutes later planning lunch LOL (I’ve worked in telly and know how these things happen - still funny though!)
Bron Lloyd
2024-10-05 23:33:32 +0000 UTCThanks so much for continually giving so much extra content to us! I *wish* more people would realise how wonderful TT Patreon is, I keep spreading the word, not sure any of my friends have joined yet! I’ve just started a new library job so I’ll be bending a few ears! Great to see both Naomi and Dani on site and look forward to their seasonal chat soon, I love their chats!
Bron Lloyd
2024-10-05 23:29:16 +0000 UTCAll the elements and personnel assembled for what looks like an exciting three days. Stewart was evidently off somewhere. Really looking forward to finding out what story comes out of this dig. Weather is great, so far. Love the small boy at the test pit consulting with Carenza. Have a great time everyone.
JUDITH COOKE
2024-10-05 22:45:10 +0000 UTCThank you for this wonderful preview!
Larry Besel, Jr.
2024-10-05 22:44:51 +0000 UTCWhat a brilliant idea to coordinate test pits and QR codes so objects can be uploaded and sorted on the main map as it happens, with all the details organized for later analysis.
Michael Collins
2024-10-05 22:19:02 +0000 UTCTerrific. Really excites the appetite for more!
Kerry Hennigan
2024-10-05 21:44:47 +0000 UTCWaiting for the team to unearth a medieval sarcophagus with Mickey carved into to the top!
Theresa Cashin
2024-10-05 21:40:38 +0000 UTCLooks like a great weekend. So worth the Patreon contributions each month. If could make one small request. I would love to see a Robin-like historian join the team. His deep knowledge on-hand was such a valuable and entertaining contribution. I know for a fact that there are British historians of that cut still out there!
Michael O'Connor
2024-10-05 21:07:29 +0000 UTCGuessing – and only guessing – that as older structures disappeared new ones were built on the same lots. The original series included a number of episodes where the team investigated the traces of old buildings in medieval towns, and it often turned out that the property lots never really changed even if the buildings on them came and went.

2024-10-05 20:10:32 +0000 UTCLove it.. have a good beer John
Warrick J Foote
2024-10-05 20:03:16 +0000 UTCI don't want to research it on my own (in case it feels like a spoiler), but where did the medieval town go? All the houses look very 20th century... Curious to see how this turns out.
Fiona D
2024-10-05 19:47:00 +0000 UTCVery excited for this!
Kay Theriault
2024-10-05 19:21:34 +0000 UTCI really enjoy these Dig Watch episodes...
Steve Mikre
2024-10-05 19:13:12 +0000 UTCLovely to see all the old and new TT faces back in action. This dig will hopefully result in an archeological Fantasia🦁
Eggs Ackley
2024-10-05 18:14:26 +0000 UTCYay Dig Watch! I'm curious to know the history of the village, which looks like it's mostly mid 20th century homes, but on a classic medieval street plan. Development scheme?
Stephanie Hogan
2024-10-05 18:14:18 +0000 UTCGreat to see Richard Osgood working with Time Team - hopefully we will see some of his regular volunteers from Op Nightingale over the next couple of days. Great first day introduction!
Andy Woodhead
2024-10-05 17:51:04 +0000 UTCIt's not a Mickey Mouse dig, but it didn't stop Derek & Lawrence from acting goofy! Groan :-)
Clive McIntyre
2024-10-05 17:44:09 +0000 UTCBrilliant thanks
Ian Fleming
2024-10-05 17:29:14 +0000 UTCNow go and buy John a pint.
Carol Overrill
2024-10-05 17:26:50 +0000 UTCIt's funny how the boys didn't catch that the "lion" on the Time Team banners is the Lion King from the Disney film ... such a great giggle and I love that art. Kudos to Neil for that bit of good design work :)
Janie Waters
2024-10-05 17:25:06 +0000 UTCBrilliant stuff. The Latin motto reminded me of Sir Tony’s intro to the Cunetio dig in series 17. 😁 https://youtu.be/zf6NFWMLpDE?feature=shared, at the 57-second mark.
Julianne Ture
2024-10-05 17:24:11 +0000 UTCThat was an exciting teaser. I'm looking forward to seeing all the 3D renders from that fancy drone. Also, what is going to happen to that scaled map mockup with all the mini test pit flags?
Carl Johnson
2024-10-05 17:17:13 +0000 UTCGood to aee you all today!
Alan McMillan
