Dani is my favorate “presenter” (a sweeter version of Tony Robinson)!

2023-09-29 04:53:47 +0000 UTCI really like how Dani presents and explains. She presents in a concise yet engaging (and interesting) way. Way to go Dani. I'd like to see more of you taking the lead on Time Team digs!

2023-06-23 16:42:32 +0000 UTCI do believe info packages are sent out in advance of the dig, and having experienced people monitoring each process, but I could be wrong. Time Team has community dig down to a science... literally. 😉

2023-06-21 21:00:25 +0000 UTCI love how Dig Watch gives us the energy and excitement of the day. An incredible amount of preplanning and organization, synonymous with Time Team, allows new people and new tech to fit in seamlessly like cogs in a wheel. HUGE hugs to everyone 🥰

2023-06-19 12:33:45 +0000 UTCNot to be off topic or anything, but I really NEED a rainbow Time Team logo teeshirt. (Spotted during the town crier filming). Please do a short run? Maybe a preorder?

2023-06-18 20:39:55 +0000 UTCVery impressive systems which QR codes ect. I love these types of digs when the whole neighbourhood is makeing small testpits. I always feel like doing the same in my garden. Who knows what I will find. Lovely to see everyone so motivated and the beer and gin sounds also good. Can't wait to watch day 2.

2023-06-18 13:42:12 +0000 UTCThe risk of a test pit survey i suspect is there is a strong chance of missing the archeology. What techniques and methods do you use beforehand to lessen the risk?
Tim Chapman
2023-06-18 12:22:58 +0000 UTCNice to know that Carenza doesn't need to run around to test pits grabbing finds. The scanning of info and finds straight to the micro tent is impressive.

2023-06-18 08:42:09 +0000 UTCReally excited to see the next snapshot. Thank you all

2023-06-18 07:13:18 +0000 UTCI think you have picked a great location for this dig. I have just been looking up Modbury’s history during the civil war and there was a lot going on there! It will be great to see some finds from this period and a great opportunity to tell what I think will be a fascinating story. Thank you Time Team!

2023-06-18 07:00:45 +0000 UTCHi Donna, we'll be seeing more of that American gentleman and discussing his connections in our upcoming Day 2 update. His hat gives us a little clue...
Time Team
2023-06-18 05:53:24 +0000 UTCGreat seeing the whole community getting involved, I can just hear Mick in Heaven, yelling, Love those tests pits!! LOL. wish there would of been a bit more on day 1. Like explaining more on the American Gentleman that was there and why he was there..
Donna Oglesby
2023-06-18 05:49:06 +0000 UTCAs always it's fantastic to see both of you out there showing us around! Your passion for the projects is always wonderful to see.

2023-06-18 03:24:00 +0000 UTCI agree with so many of you. My absolute favorite Time Teams were always the community episodes with either the residents or the school kids helping out! What an exciting intro of what is to come in the final production! Maybe more than any of the other recent digs, this has that true Time Team vibe! Mick is smiling about this one I’m sure!

2023-06-18 03:07:27 +0000 UTCI absolutely love Dani. Of all the people I wish I could speak to before I die, Dani and Phil are my first two.
Rick Doner
2023-06-18 01:31:36 +0000 UTCAs a retired primary school teacher I am looking forward to the test pit on the school site. What an opportunity for those kids.
David Boon
2023-06-17 23:36:37 +0000 UTCLovely walk along.

2023-06-17 22:56:09 +0000 UTCThis is my favorite type of TT - with civilians involved, esp. children. I love regular excavations, too, but when you experts are teaching, that's just the best. Ages ago Carenza taught test pits in another town; you had building experts and dendro dating on that one, too, but Carenza had to run everywhere. Mick's comment was "she's quick isn't she?"

2023-06-17 22:53:03 +0000 UTCThat was a great intro video and yes I'm ready to head to the pub for a cold drink.

2023-06-17 21:57:36 +0000 UTCI love seeing the whole community involved.

2023-06-17 21:28:01 +0000 UTCThat was a good one. :)

2023-06-17 20:47:26 +0000 UTCGreat to see the data dome and new software - hope we get to see some of Matt’s digital 3d models up on that big screen!
Andy Woodhead
2023-06-17 20:22:12 +0000 UTCI remember a test pit dig many years ago where the villagers want to know which part of the village was the oldest part. Mick was in his element in that one.
Karen Foley
2023-06-17 20:21:24 +0000 UTCSo exciting! Can't wait to see more!
