2023-12-31 07:34:40 +0000 UTCOne of the (many) reasons I joined Time Team Patreon is the infectious passion each of these members has for what they do and for sharing that knowledge and passion with the world. 💞

2023-12-31 03:34:54 +0000 UTCAll great highlights but I agree with Henry. Ancient DNA is transforming archaeology and even family history. I now know my direct male line was likely connected with the earliest hunter gatherers back into Britain and Ireland after the last ice-age. They not only spread out all over the British Isles over the thousands of years that followed, but they integrated into later groups that arrived and eventually took up farming. Such details are proven by family relationships at sites such as Primrose Grange. Knowing I share a common ancestor born in Britain with individuals found as far apart as Pabay Mor off the coast of Scotland and the Hazleton Long Barrow in Gloucestershire is an amazing insight into my own personal connection with pre-history. Combine that with modern DNA matches that show Boon/es in my line after surnames were introduced came from as far apart as Northern Ireland and Somerset in England and spread out across the world from the late 1600s until the mid 1800s gives us access to history beyond the artefacts and written records. In the years that follow others testing and future ancient finds will bridge the gap between the ancient and more recent past. Being able to see mutations in my Y-DNA that are identical up to the point ancient individuals lived is a tangible connection to the ancient past.

2023-12-30 23:00:58 +0000 UTCIt’s really good to hear about the diverse projects with which you Time Team folks are involved. It helps me appreciate the great diversity of information we can gain through archaeology. Henry’s comments about ancient DNA are especially interesting to me. Thanks for sharing your ideas, Time Team!
