A Free-Range Festive Chat with Dani and Naomi
Added 2022-12-27 19:59:51 +0000 UTCWe hope you've enjoyed a festive few days, wherever you are in the world. We're now putting our feet up after a busy year, and preparing for another action-packed 12 months ahead.
Just before Christmas, Dani and Naomi caught up for an informal and wide-ranging chat, encompassing this year's digs, a few plans in the works for next year, and some festive-themed archaeology insights.
In this relaxed and unedited fly-on-the-wall conversation, Naomi shares recollections from the sarcophagus dig at Broughton, while Dani delights us with tales of Cleopatra's perfume!
Comments
they're both so kind and fun to listen to!

2023-01-01 13:05:41 +0000 UTCHello TIME DIG folks! Youโre my preference with Tony & Philโs return. I moved from paying RUSSELL BRANDโs show, hype but excellent deep dive interviews cause money is dear making priorities key. Happily itโs not much more cost. ๐๐ฅฐ๐น๐๐

2022-12-30 08:01:10 +0000 UTCHello, it's great to meet a fellow Patron from Kelowna, BC, Canada! I've no doubt that you had some intense winters in Sask. with frigid winds whipping across the prairies (square tires & tons of shovelling) TT is a blessing and, like you, helps dig me out of a hole (great pun) Cheers to an even greater 2023 ๐ฅณ

2022-12-29 13:03:32 +0000 UTCHappy New Year from a fellow Canadian! However, I'm a bit further south than you here in Kelowna, but I originally hail from Saskatchewan so I've experienced some pretty intense winters. I say that because I feel exactly the same way about Time Team. In the darkest, loneliest times I can always rely on TT to dig me out of my hole (pun intended).

2022-12-28 23:11:45 +0000 UTCOracle bones, Chinese, Shang then Zhou, is a better search. Turtle carapaces, and the shoulder bones of deer or oxen heat cracked with the cracks used for deviation. The divination was inscribed on the "bone" in early Chinese characters. c 1300 B.C. Found by archaeologists. No chickens. Enjoy.

2022-12-28 21:35:18 +0000 UTCI hope you see this note, Dani & Naomi... I just want to send out a HUGE thank you for the info & smiles. Your chats add so much to our Patreon experience, and for me, in the cold darkness of the Yukon, they make my day. Happy Holidays to all other TT Patreon people around the world. 2023 is going to be fan-tastic ๐พ๐ฅ Cheers!!

2022-12-28 21:33:13 +0000 UTCI'm originally from Germany but have been living in Norway for a few years now. This "wishing bone" tradition also exists in both countries. And in both countries it is practiced in a similar way: both people make a silent wish at the same time and then simultaneously pull on one end of the "wishing bone". The person who gets the larger piece will have their wish granted. Especially suitable for the New Year celebration ;) Here's to a prosperous and healthy 2023. Skรฅl!!!

2022-12-28 18:24:25 +0000 UTCMy Mum would always save the wishbone and dry it out. You would then pull it with your little fingers and whoever got the largest part got to make a wish. She raised chickens so we would have a chicken for Sunday lunch at least once a month. We did it whenever we had a chicken, not just on holidays.
Marjorie Sloan
2022-12-28 17:19:51 +0000 UTCMe and my mom used to use little finger around a bone and pull the person who got the joining bone made a wish. Sounds silly but we used to believe it and has far as I know most people in the black country did same.

2022-12-28 02:07:17 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas and you all are welcome for the support! My family all came from Texas, USA, and we always broke the wishbones for luck, sometimes we waited till they dried, but not always. We didnโt do the touching it while it dried thing thoโ. Wherever that tradition began, perhaps is was a living thread through time and crossing the ocean? Hereโs wishing us all a far, far better new year!

2022-12-28 01:06:15 +0000 UTCMy Mom always had a couple of chicken wishbones hanging in the kitchen to dry and when she was invited to a wedding shower she would tie one to the gift parcel instead of a fancy bow. My wife & I always enjoy Dani & Naomi's chats and this one was no exception. But we like to watch the videos on the living room TV and that doesn't work unless you upload the video to YouTube.

2022-12-27 23:22:33 +0000 UTCThanks Dani and Naomi, for all the extra details. I enjoy hearing about the bits and pieces that fill in the story. Best wishes to you for the festive season and I hope 2023 brings you lots more Time Team adventures. (It was 38 degrees C here in Melbourne yesterday!)

2022-12-27 22:04:38 +0000 UTCMy Mother dried the wish bone for three day when I was growing up. No idea the source of that (Swedish/German family in U.S.). Herring on New Years for good luck and good fortune.
