2023-05-07 19:12:32 +0000 UTCI am enjoying these digs, but, perhaps a personal thing, but there does seem to be contradictions to what we used to hear at other times. Some of this still in living memory, photos to show where the huts were, whole layout etc. Thee clearly must be a genuine reason for the dig, not least the therapeutic help for the veterans, but other than that, why dig it? The history of the soldiers that were there is interest enough. Digging up 'things' small finds, is usually scoffed at as not being what archaeologists are looking for, (on the whole). Dont get me wrong, If a villa or prehistoric site is discovered I want the whole thing excavated...the wrong approach I know.

2023-05-07 18:18:37 +0000 UTCPeople can say there are documents and photographs of this site, so why do archaeology? The finds give us tangible evidence of daily life. I like Hilde's tent post finds based on the geophys. Now they know where tents were placed. This is a great episode and I love the much loved 80 year old monkey. Thank you!

2023-05-07 13:22:30 +0000 UTCThe people said they missed the end of day wrap-ups in the pub, and Matt's selflessly taken it upon himself to deliver. What a star.

2023-05-07 10:08:46 +0000 UTCGreat to see Matt reveling in his role as presenter, after so many uncomplaining turns during TT as medieval novitiate, surveyor’s apprentice, Roman soldier, etc.

2023-05-07 03:07:59 +0000 UTCReally enjoying this, and will def share with my brothers (US veterans, one a former Ranger) when this is public, I know they will find this fascinating. As with other sites, I'm struck by the breadth of items that get left behind. The wheel blew my mind!
