Update and upcoming releases...
Added 2023-05-30 17:19:05 +0000 UTCHello to all our lovely members across the globe!
As usual, it's an incredibly busy time here at Time Team HQ, so we wanted to share a quick update on some of the activities coming up in the pipelines.
- Mortar Wreck: The Expedition Crew returns, as Derek and Lawrence join a dive on a 13th Century shipwreck with a fascinating cargo. Look out for the trailer and release details very soon.
- The Next 3-Day Dig: As announced in September, we've been exploring the history of West Country villages with interesting links to North America. We'll be joining a wonderful local community for some classic back-garden archaeology. The dig is just around the corner, with Dig Watch details to follow soon. In the meantime, we'll be sharing an earlier 'Site Wrestle' session, when Dani Wootton, building expert Dr Richard Parker, and Tim Tayor put it to the test.
- Anglo-Saxon Cemetery: Finishing touches are being put on our recent Norfolk dig, with an exclusive Day 1 preview ahead of the main YouTube premieres, plus the aftershow live session, right here on Patreon.
- Digging Band of Brothers Special: We know you're eager for this one! The premiere is being lined up to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the 506th arriving in Aldbourne, with a Patreon preview ahead of the main release.
- Classic Specials: It's almost time to start releasing our Classic Specials from the vaults, with one per month on YouTube, plus an extra episode per month exclusively on Patreon for an initial period.
- Vision, Feedback and Review: As we continually review and refine our offering, we love to know what you think to ensure we provide you with the best content and access. We have ambitious goals and an exciting vision for the future, and want you to be part of the process. Look out for an upcoming post asking for your feedback.
More details on each will follow soon, so make sure you have your email notifications turned on to receive all the latest posts.
Thanks again from all the team for your ongoing membership - together we are doing some exciting things and we couldn't do it without you!

Hi Ann, many thanks for passing this on. Each member's feed may be configured slightly differently depending on the device/browser/app being viewed on or how your personal notifications are set up. The main Mortar Wreck episode was posted publicly, directly through YouTube and shared in our wider email newsletter, whereas this post is a Patreon-only post. Hope that helps, but if you have any questions, please send us a message. Thanks

2023-06-14 10:26:23 +0000 UTCThis update never came into my Patreon TT feed while "Mortar ship" today Juine 10 came in inviting me to join Patreon and no connection to this member site. Noted another had a similar experience. Confusing.

2023-06-02 09:06:12 +0000 UTCI watch them whenever access is available on my streaming services. I recently mentioned the Viking boat burial and long house digs on Fetlar S10E4 in a paper I wrote for a Cambridge undergraduate certificate course in Archaeology. I really enjoyed following up on what had happened since that dig. Was disappointed there appeared to be no published reports available. Though I found some useful info through the local museums. The magnificent tortoise brooch was especially significant in the context of my essay subject. The special about the Viking hoard at Aldwark also led me down a fascinating if not frustrating rabbit hole. So many TT episodes of the past have been helpful in my studies on the Archaeology of Ancient and Historic Britain. I'm sure that will continue with each new dig you do.

2023-06-02 01:47:33 +0000 UTCDoes anyone know if there is any plan to cooperate with the Victor Ambrus estate to come out with a book of his work for Time Team either to help support the new digs or even just for the benefit of his heirs? I bet a lot of us buy a large quality coffee table book of his work tying them to the sites for which they were drawn.

2023-06-02 00:11:58 +0000 UTCRegarding the last point, I think you all are doing a great job with your social media (I see you here, on Facebook, and Instagram). There's something on FB/IG every day, but it's never too much and it's always interesting. It would be nice to see more of this kind of post relating to upcoming releases/schedules. The Saxon dig seemed to have disappeared (just based on how things were released last year), and so it's nice to see that it's coming soon! Keep up the great work

2023-06-01 16:35:27 +0000 UTCThanks for the heads up. Was beginning to think the Anglo Saxon Cemetery had gone by way of the Dark Ages. I don't know how you do it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

2023-06-01 16:15:20 +0000 UTCLooking forward to seeing everything that's currently scheduled... and I'd love for you to do a Viking site some time in the future! Thanks.

2023-05-31 19:52:16 +0000 UTCIs it too greedy to want to know the short list of sites for potential dig sites this summer?

2023-05-31 18:00:29 +0000 UTCIt all sounds amazing, and that is why I'm in for the TT long haul. A HUGE thank you to every member who 🤝 make this happen. To all at Time Team HQ, keep up the 1st Class work you do behind the scenes. A++ line-up 😊👍
