S22 | Dig Watch - Spoil Heap Q&A: Jackie McKinley
Added 2023-07-12 13:25:32 +0000 UTCDuring our Winfarthing dig, we caught up with bone expert, Jackie McKinley to answer your questions.
In another wide ranging chat, we covered everything from Jackie's favourite track by New Model Army (the band) to the value of DNA and isotope analysis in Anglo-Saxon archaeology.
Speaking of which, the isotope analysis from the teeth discovered at Winfarthing is still ongoing, and we'll give you the full results once they're available.
Jackie, Tony and Tim
It's wonderful having Jackie back, and we'll be seeing much more of her soon!
We enjoyed another reunion recently as Jackie got together with Series Producer, Tim Taylor, and Sir Tony for a fascinating dicussion. Look out for this on the horizon.
As always, there are many exciting developments in the pipelines, as we gear up for the next chapter. Stay with us for all the news...

2023-09-09 23:48:05 +0000 UTCI love it when Jackie is on a dig! I always learn something new. I work at a museum, and we were planning a new exhibition a few years ago. My boss wanted a section about human remains as sources for knowledge, and had planned to write it herself, but then she had a baby and was on maternity leave for a year. Well, my co-workers looked at me and said: "You can write that, right?" I thought to myself that all I knew about osteology was what I had learnt from Time Team... (But yes, I did write it...)

2023-07-15 11:25:57 +0000 UTCOh fantastic, and thank you so much for asking my question and what a surprise to go along with the answer! Got to say 225 is one of my favourite songs of theirs too. The whole thing was a great interview.

2023-07-14 22:38:39 +0000 UTCI'd forgotten about the 'cheese pizza base' comment. It is, I believe, to do with the Keto diet. Low carb, high fat is apparently the way forward...many GPs on board as a weight loss vehicle, & to reverse type 2 diabetes. They are re-writing, the now long held advice re fats & carbs. (rumour has it). But, nothing to do with this, I apologise for digressing in response to the last comment on this great video.
