S21 | Dig 2: Broughton Great Hall – 3D Model
Added 2022-05-10 09:12:08 +0000 UTCWe're currently putting the finishing touches on our updated 2022 Site Contenders List. Having investigated the original long list further, we've identified those that still look viable to carry forward this year, and have some exciting new options too. Keep a look out for more details and our next opinion poll very soon...
Until then, we have another explorable 3D model to share from our recent episodes: the Great Hall at Broughton Castle.
Access the model on Sketchfab here: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/broughton-castle-great-hall-17f45b28fd0941c7825666e5225b7590

Post-Excavation Update
Post-ex analysis is still ongoing for both of Time Team's Series 21 digs. This is typically a complex and time-consuming process, involving the insights of a wide range of experts in various disciplines, which are then collated and compiled into the final report. We'll be sharing much more information on specific finds, trenches and developments as the process progresses, so please watch this space for further updates.

Love these models please keep doing these!

2022-06-06 02:32:08 +0000 UTCWow, so user friendly, fast loading and the detail is incredible! Thanks so much to the 2 handsome guys hiding behind the furniture... only joking, they were behind the...

2022-05-29 04:04:09 +0000 UTCThat makes a lot of sense. Just today, I saw an actual photo of them and they do look like buckets. In the 3D model, they appear oddly connected to what they are sitting on.

2022-05-24 20:52:10 +0000 UTCWere they fire buckets? I think I recall from this episode that this room was decorated to feature lots of civil war era items.

2022-05-23 17:16:18 +0000 UTCSo much to look at, so little time. This is superb! Now let's have someone create a labeled key for the ages of the various architectural features, nooks, and crannies.

2022-05-16 17:52:21 +0000 UTCThanks! It a good way to get a better look at the ceiling and other features.

2022-05-14 21:58:14 +0000 UTCThey are called 'roof bosses' and were original a medievel building technique to strenghten the ceiling allowing a wider expanse without pillars to support it. The one in the great hall is mid 18th century plaster probably to replace an earlier ceiling which like the 'parlour' had a ceiling in a rich design of moulded ribs and bosses, with pendants and suspended panels. www.broughtoncastle.com

2022-05-12 16:21:11 +0000 UTCThat makes sense; I guess all scans that the model is based on were performed from below the chandeliers, so the chandeliers themselves would have blocked the chains from view. Maybe a lesson to learn is that additional scans should be performed from near topside.

2022-05-11 10:25:31 +0000 UTCLove the 3D Great Hall. I wish I could have a tour with a knowledgeable tour guide. I have so many questions, e.g. “What’s with all the stone (plaster?) phalluses hanging from the ceiling?”

2022-05-11 05:05:38 +0000 UTCWould love to know what the flower pot like items on the mantle and window sills are for.
Gloria Carbaugh
2022-05-10 22:17:36 +0000 UTCLove the models, would be fun if you added some easter eggs for us to find and maybe run mini challenges for Patreons to find them
2022-05-10 21:05:06 +0000 UTCI love the 3d models. These may be one of my favourites- will need to look at it on the big screen

2022-05-10 17:15:45 +0000 UTCGreat model. It is too large to view on my phone but it works great on my computer.

2022-05-10 14:33:13 +0000 UTCHi Wolfgang, the free floating objects are the chandeliers / light fittings hanging from the ceiling. However, the chains and brackets they are hanging from are not picked out as clearly in the model, giving the slight impression of floating orbs! You can compare these with the real thing from the episode here: https://youtu.be/iC_SM8RjjJk?t=1015

2022-05-10 14:14:22 +0000 UTCThe model mostly works for me, but after moving around for a while I get an increasing number of free floating objects. It looks like parts of columns and decoration objects have detached from the building and started to float in the room.

2022-05-10 13:47:20 +0000 UTCI haven't had a problem with them, although they show that they have loaded before they have actually finished doing so. After a brief pause, they seem to work fine.
