Time Team News this weekend! (Trailer: Episode 4)
Added 2023-11-17 19:35:16 +0000 UTCWe have some great stories lined up for Episode 4 of Time Team News this weekend.
Here's a little taster of what to expect, which might explain that strange contraption featured in our latest 3D model.
But we have another riddle for you... this month, Helen Geake visits a theatre in Norfolk with a fascinating connection to the Bard, William Shakespeare. Many years ago, the creative director of that same theatre featured in an episode of Time Team, creating a very unusual experimental reconstruction.
But who is he and what was the reconstruction?
Please put your best guesses in the comments section, and don't look it up on Google! To find out the answer, join us for the premiere on Saturday at 7pm GMT.
Get ready to watch HERE.

2023-11-29 20:51:36 +0000 UTCare in the British, indeed, world consciousness (sorry for the inadvertent break there, I am an old man, a pensioner and a committed technophobe. I just found some of the extras via the emails you sent me and Dani's latest update, Helen's theatrical escapade and Stewart's interview are indeed worth the small amount paid. I am now just trying to work out how to access everything else but, like Phil and all the other diggers I shall just keep going until I get the answer. Please do keep up the good work as you are not only filling a hge void on British TV but also providing a hugely important archaeological service. Now can somebody please tell this old dinosaur how to access all the bits and bobs like previously unreleased episodes etc., I really would love to know!

2023-11-26 19:21:02 +0000 UTCI recently joined TT on Patreon, having loved it in it's original format, been hugely disappointed by it's apparent demise (bad move those programmers) and delighted by it's return in a new digital form for the 21st century. I think your rapidly approaching 10K target is proof of the affection the show and it's underlying concept

2023-11-26 19:12:24 +0000 UTCThere is a lot of reporting on the Danube corridor and the Baltics. Occasional language and paywall issues but fascinating.

2023-11-24 15:53:27 +0000 UTCArchaeology.org has a daily news feed. Science Daily also has daily feeds. For those of us follow such online resources, not sure these news events add unless linked to expanded dig information (often embargoed until publication of the dig). Just feedback.

2023-11-23 05:42:05 +0000 UTCFor anyone interested in a bit more background regarding the Herculaneum scrolls and UK involvement: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/buried-ash-vesuvius-scrolls-are-being-read-new-xray-technique-180969358/ Our team at the publically-funded STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory alongside at the Diamond Light Source Synchrotron have been working with Brent to investigate how modern X-ray imaging cameras might help us learn more about these scrolls. It turns out that the ink used to write many of the scrolls were contaminated with lead and, with the right equipment, it's possible to identify that lead and isolate the letter forms. The work is still at an early stage but it's a really neat way of trying to separate the ink from the payrus.

2023-11-22 23:09:10 +0000 UTCI don't think you have done this one, which (because it involves Scandinavia, and a ship!) is of particular interest to me. Something for the next monthly news, perhaps? https://arkeonews.net/scandinavias-oldest-identified-ship-burial-in-trondelag-rewrites-history/

2023-11-22 13:40:01 +0000 UTCHi Andy. Yes, that dig is currently in post-production with release pencilled in for 2024. Look out for more details as it progresses. Thanks

2023-11-20 07:56:43 +0000 UTCThanks for the news episode. I really enjoyed it. On another note: some months ago, there were dig watch episodes of a medieval village test pit dig in Modbury, Devon. Will there be a Time Team episode on that dig? And if so, is there a an estimated time when it will be released? Or did I miss the release? Thank you.

2023-11-20 00:07:55 +0000 UTCYes, please for the future what @sigterm suggested: The biggest great hall that had been found so far, nearby Seddin in Germany!!!

2023-11-19 17:32:10 +0000 UTCI tried to find the link to the article in "Nature" on the wooden artefact that is almost 5000,000 years' old, but without success. Can anyone help?

2023-11-19 13:23:01 +0000 UTCHere is a suggestion for an upcoming episode (maybe next month?): Recently there was the discovery of one of the biggest bronze age halls in northern Europe. It's located in Seddin, Germany. It's massiv 10 x 30m and it's carbon dated on the 10th to 9th century b.c. And there maybe a link to a massive bronze age burial mound in the vicinity ... the "Grave of King Hinz".

2023-11-17 21:07:56 +0000 UTCI know what it is and there's something very fishy about that whole story.

2023-11-17 21:02:15 +0000 UTCIs it the actor that danced from London to Norwich? Can’t recall his name though.
