2023 Time Team Flag of Fame
Added 2023-10-03 17:00:04 +0000 UTCWithout further ado, we are delighted to officially reveal the 2023 Flag of Fame in all its glory! Some of you may have already spotted it this year in recent updates from site.
Of all the amazing discoveries, finds, insights and imagery featured at each dig, this is the most important of all. This year's flag features around 2000 names that represent our current 9000+ members on Patreon who have made our digs possible. Whether or not you opted to include your name on the flag, we thank you all!
To make it easier to find your name, we've also created a PDF version with searchable text HERE.
It might take a couple of minutes to load and focus (it's a big design) so give it a moment! It will vary depending on device used, but you should be able to search for text in your internet browser, by holding down ctrl/cmd + F, then writing the name in the search box.
INTERACTIVE FLAG!
Our brilliant Matt Clark from Shadow Tor Studios has also produced an explorable 3D (ish) model which is available to view and interact with on Sketchfab HERE.
Give it a moment to load and enjoy looking around - Controls will be dependant on the device you are viewing on but you will need a good internet connection for it to work. Generally you click to turn, scroll or pinch to zoom and pan. Turn with Left Mouse click and drag. Click hold and drag middle mouse to move about. Double click a spot to zoom into a particular spot.
Let us know when you've found your name! Don't worry if you didn't make it on to this years flag - keep an eye out for the next opportunity in 2024.
Please note: To have been included on the 2023 Flag of Fame, you will have needed to opt-in and provide the specific name, via the entry form posted on Patreon by 10th May 2023 (assuming you were also in the qualifying membership tiers). As noted in that original post (to follow GDPR guidelines and to enable members to choose the name or dedication included), members must opt-in for each new flag every year, and names do not automatically carry over from a previous year's flag.

2024-06-09 20:11:48 +0000 UTCAlso they have done a searchable pdf version, link is in the description, I did a quick search for you but only one Lois was highlighted, hope that helps!
Martin Kilner
2024-06-09 20:10:23 +0000 UTCHere’s a trick, download the image, use Google photos app to search the image for keyword, found mine in seconds! 😎
Martin Kilner
2024-06-09 19:37:37 +0000 UTCWhen is this Flag of Fame form coming and how do I find it? Been a member for 3 years at least and not been able to find it.
Lois Pallister
2024-03-24 05:59:41 +0000 UTCHow do I find my name on the flag?
Shane and Elizabeth Death
2024-02-25 04:21:34 +0000 UTCThanks TT found my name and feel honoured to be on there. Any future plans to sell these flags? I'd love to own some kind of official version/size with my name on. I'm a very proud TT fan and supporter. Keep up the amazing work!!
Stewart Stark
2024-01-07 20:07:25 +0000 UTCI'm by the nostril!
Olivia Wilson
2024-01-02 23:01:34 +0000 UTCFound me - a proud digger !!! Get down and dirty with TT
Ann McLeish
2023-11-24 21:26:20 +0000 UTCI found my name on the flag! Thanks TT. Have enjoyed ALL the Digs, extra posts, live streams, etc You have grown & improved each year. Outstanding
Di
2023-11-08 06:56:51 +0000 UTCHi. Thank you for clarifying. May I say that TT videos are a welcome reminder of just how enjoyable it was to watch the Team spend those three thrilling days, digging the way around the country. Long may it continue.

2023-10-15 18:03:23 +0000 UTCHi. Every year, we open the Flag of Fame opportunity to each and every active member from Digger Crew tier upwards. The idea of the flag is to be inclusive of all our paid supporters and celebrate the contributions they've made to Time Team. In order to be included, active paid members (Digger Crew and above) need to opt-in via the form posted on Patreon by the closing date for that year. We look forward to welcoming members old and new on the 2024 flag!
Time Team
2023-10-15 16:03:32 +0000 UTCI love the idea of naming Patreon supporters on the flags, and long may it continue - although I do have one concern: You seem to be suggesting that only those supporters in the upper tiers will be eligible to have their names included. This seems awfully unfair given the ongoing cost of living crisis. Not only the crisis, but what about those people in the lowest tier who, though they cannot afford to pay regular, higher amounts, are contributing over long periods - perhaps longer than those in the higher tiers - and yet will not get the chance to be named on a future flag. I guess what I am trying to convey is the unfairness of the current system. Perhaps the organisers will be willing to review the eligibility criteria... If I have misread or misunderstood things, please accept my apologies. Great to see Time Team back, even on YouTube 😉

2023-10-15 05:09:46 +0000 UTCFor everyone tis 1 against the world…..every time a video gets a click from anyone in the world TT gets a bit of funding. A PATREON member from anywhere in the world funds TT. The original was paid for by UK citizens thru taxpayers funding via BBC so perchance the original TT should’ve had a UK citizen only contest…….TT is one of the best programs EVER the current version didn’t have to happen! It did because they have fans from around the WORLD that would rather watch & support without complaining about what TT didn’t do. TT IS NOW FUNDED BY THE WORLD. I for 1 am very thankful to have TT back & in the PATREON system I get the PRIVILEGE to be part sharing history & the lives of individual humans from the Stone Age (wen Phil was actually born) till the modern age; I’ve learned that we’re still basically the same. THANK YOU TT & ALL PATREONERS.

2023-10-14 18:05:03 +0000 UTCJames, I'll respectfully disagree with you there (as a UK person who's lived in Australia and the US for almost half his life now). Time Team have done prehistoric, Roman and medieval digs in this new incarnation and for this most recent programme they were joining an existing project by Operation Nightingale, who they also worked with in at least one episode of the TV series (on a bronze age site with Saxon burials inserted in it). In the TV series they did a number of evaluations on WW2 sites too including air crashes and German defences on Jersey. There are no time limits on archaeology, its the study of human material culture. It's valuable even for the modern period because it allows you to test the claims in history.
Christopher Samuel
2023-10-12 17:37:33 +0000 UTCThanks for this TT! Also spent far too long playing with Matt's creation on Sketchfab trying to work out what can be seen in the reflections to try and make out what he used as the setting - are those trees in the reflection? :-)
Christopher Samuel
2023-10-12 17:29:52 +0000 UTCAye but if everyone in the country around 66 million were members how many millions live in America and Europe and all over the world that’s about more chance of winning a trip to mars doesn’t seem fair to me time team started here and was filmed for many series here and the first prizes now publicly funded low and behold goes over the pond to Americans name me a competition in America we can participate in for a prize of theirs I bet there’s none bar this…I’ll probably withdraw my patronage and subscribe to archeology magazine the “new episodes” aren’t what I call good history programmes I can ask any poppy seller for the cold facts of WW2 it’s too modern we want romans and Norman’s medieval and Tudor Stone Age there’s a whole Jurassic coast and isle on white and isle of sky Whitby coastline for dinosaurs and we get with all due respect the same old dads army programme I think normal tv should be ashamed your all not paid proper to go proper digs like the last 20 odd series this Patreon is pants there’s more history in my garden skip than these new programmes in fact I might go check see if there’s a archaeologist on there with a phone camera for next exciting full episode love on you tube on what the neighbours lived and are like a week ago ha

2023-10-09 14:25:52 +0000 UTCHi James, the current competition is open until the end of 22nd October. We're proud to have an amazing global fanbase, and we aim to make all competitions as inclusive as possible to everyone in the world, wherever they are located. By nature, some prizes have certain restrictions that limit where they can be shipped (e.g. alcohol) or require travel to the UK. Winners are picked at random from correct entries, to keep the odds as fair as possible for all who enter.
Time Team
2023-10-09 10:02:40 +0000 UTCFound the entry in memory of my mom! She was the one who introduced us all to TT and who arranged some very special memories for me. Under the left dot, right against the edge.
Larissa Spiker
2023-10-08 20:49:51 +0000 UTCWhen’s the next competition going to be out? And I think it’s a bit cheap to open it up to all and sundry ie foreigners especially when most of the digs are on UK soil there should be a prize for only UK applicants and one for foreigners otherwise what’s point of entering when odds is one against the world
James Carter
2023-10-08 12:15:27 +0000 UTCHave they announced competition yet? Think it s a bit shabby that a foreigner won it they should have a prize for UK residents and a prize for foreign otherwise what’s a odds of winning against the whole world entering
James Carter
2023-10-08 12:05:49 +0000 UTCFound it! - searching "manually" just below the base of the "I", using sketchfab as well. Very nice, thank you!
David Vickery
2023-10-07 19:30:42 +0000 UTCFound mine, between the T and the I in Time. Loved the sketchfab version to interact with I was able to locate it fairly quickly.

Mary-Helen Armour
2023-10-06 20:39:20 +0000 UTCWOW! I really move about... I'm pleased to be near the top of the 5th ray of sunshine.🌞 PDF version FIND option (3 dots on the right) then inserting my surname made it easy to locate. My internet is slow, so it took a minute to focus when zooming in, then it was crystal clear. Thanks, Time Team 🤟😊
Patricia Amero
2023-10-06 07:33:34 +0000 UTCHey it worked! I found my name, thanks.

Sujatha Vempaty
2023-10-05 00:04:53 +0000 UTCI'm so disappointed. I know I completed the request for this year, but my name didnt make it. This would have been my third year on the flag. Well, there is next year.

2023-10-04 12:21:50 +0000 UTCYay! Took a couple of different browsers but I found my name, 8 rows down, last on the right. I'm ridiculously chuffed to find it.
Aly Ottomeier
2023-10-04 12:02:40 +0000 UTCGlad you found it - sorry the PDF can take a while to render as it's such a large file. We'll be looking into alternative options for next year as we have so many names to include now!
Time Team
2023-10-04 11:22:43 +0000 UTCHi Andrew, We've checked our records of names and associated emails that were submitted for the 2023 flag and I don't seem to have a record of yours on the list. Feel free to send us an email at membership@timeteamdigital.com, or a direct message on Patreon if you want us to double check for a specific name or email that you think would have been used. Thanks!
Time Team
2023-10-04 11:21:07 +0000 UTCThanks for the suggestion and we'll keep this in mind for next year! Glad you found it in the end.
Time Team

Connie L Merchant

Michelle Watson
2023-10-03 22:39:48 +0000 UTCI also found the PDF version only downloaded in Google Drive this year and was blurry. However, on the upside, I eventually found my name. I suppose Time Team teaches us that all good things can take time and effort.😁
Virginia Ross
2023-10-03 22:39:27 +0000 UTCFound my lovely Grampy’s name in the top row above the E in time. Very fitting, as it’s his fault that I’m interested in archeology in the first place. Thank you!

Kay Theriault
2023-10-03 21:15:52 +0000 UTCReally disappointed Time Team. Name not on there, and I am 100% sure I was not asked or had any opportunity to opt in.
Andrew Alexander

Tonya LaFountain
2023-10-03 20:59:38 +0000 UTCWoohoo! I found Grandma & Isaac Edling! (I'm Grandma and I did forget what names I used, although I remembered it was for my little Isaac). I love all the dedications. Thank you Time Team patrons!!
Jude Edling
2023-10-03 20:58:17 +0000 UTCJoanne Kellam, thank you, I see my name. The Find mechanism wouldn't work for me, but clearly it works for you!
Joan Barrett
2023-10-03 20:55:55 +0000 UTCThanks for the incredibly fast reply, I must’ve missed the email and link for this years flag, at least I have a screenshot of last year’s flag……

Michelle Watson
2023-10-03 19:50:32 +0000 UTCI found you! Just below and to the right of the bottom lip on the rightmost face! I searched for Barrett in the "Find" box on the pdf.
Joanne Kellam
2023-10-03 19:40:32 +0000 UTCI found my name in the 3D-version, the pdf is quite blurry so search for my name does not work. Please check the pdf-version.
Edwin Jacobs
2023-10-03 19:25:44 +0000 UTCG'day Team Time Team...thank you, I spotted my name frome here in Sunny Sydney Australia and just a note, when Peter was taking too long to count our masses, my rare surname worked in the blink of an eye.
Peter Hawker
2023-10-03 19:19:37 +0000 UTCFound it! Very cool! It's at the very base of the "I" so it will be easy to find on camera! Thanks for the opportunity to be on-site - at least in spirit.
Mick Holden
2023-10-03 19:14:20 +0000 UTCI found my name! Upper left quadrant.

Joanne Kellam
2023-10-03 18:37:01 +0000 UTCIf you download the PDF, you can use the search functionality to find your name.
Joanne Kellam
2023-10-03 18:35:08 +0000 UTCCould not find myself. I had anticipated that the names would be in alphabetical order.
Joan Barrett
2023-10-03 18:25:01 +0000 UTCTim Taylor is last but not least. :) Also spotted Carl Thorpe.
Jakub Jůzl
2023-10-03 18:15:29 +0000 UTCAnd I thought it was just me, I've been on phone and laptop trying to figure out why I could not download the file properly and it all looks blurry.
Zoe Propper
2023-10-03 18:14:13 +0000 UTCLeft above the eyebrow! Thanks TT! The search was half the fun..Enjoyed all the dedications to Prof Aston....
Matthew Rice
2023-10-03 18:13:40 +0000 UTCI'm so happy that I finally made it on the flag! It was definitely worth the wait to be in one of those rays!! Just a quick comment though: Was the searchable PDF limited to Google Drive this year for a reason? The Google app has difficulty un-blurring the flag image, takes a long while to do so, and the blurr reappears every time the image is moved or zoomed. This was super frustrating when trying to find my name (same issue on newer Samsung phone & on iPad)! In previous years, I was able to download the file directly so it could be opened in better PDF readers. This year, the best workaround was try to open it in Adobe directly from my Google Drive, but I got an error every time. The fix is pretty easy: There's a settings button witin the sharing options screen for the file (desktop vs only, not in apps), and from there, you can check the box to enable downloading, printing & copying. This minor tweak would let your Patrons view the file in a PDF reader that is better equipped to handle the large file!

2023-10-03 17:16:56 +0000 UTCI found my name. It’s nice to know that we Patreons are being acknowledged in something tangible again. I’m pleased to help TT to finance new digs anyway but this is a bit of icing on the cake. Long may this continue.
