Announcement
Added 2021-01-29 18:38:33 +0000 UTCSo, we did it together: 3,000 Patrons before the end of January!
Thanks to all of your incredible efforts, we've taken a major step towards bringing Time Team back. We are truly humbled by your support! As we’ve noted from the start, this is a long journey, but with your support we are well on our way.
We are shortly about to share our next goals and steps in a video announcement from Tim. But before it gets released to the general public, we wanted you – our Patrons – to hear it first!
In order to progress to the next stage and carry the project forwards, we are setting a brand new goal of 5,000 Patrons by the end of March. This is a crucial target as we start to prepare for potential fieldwork.
Most excitedly of all, we can reveal some more details of the first 5 sites currently in contention…
A Roman villa in central England
An Iron Age settlement in the West Country
An Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Eastern Britain
An ancient village linked to Viking royalty
A Neolithic barrow in Dorset
Look out for Tim’s announcement at 7pm GMT tonight for more information: https://youtu.be/yU2FLgN-XI8
We'll be announcing more incredible sites soon, and will be inviting you to provide your feedback on the contenders in due course.
Thanks again for all your support and please do stick with us on the next exciting leg of this journey.
Best wishes from all the team.

Kenfig!!!! Oh Please. The episode only scratched the surface (no pun) and with the promise of possible "intact" Medieval settlements buried in sand...how can we not know more. It was even mentioned that it was possibly as preserved as Pompeii. Goodness. Also Tim - these sites sound wonderful, can't wait.

2021-02-06 02:31:26 +0000 UTCGreetings from Kansas. Love Time Team. I have learned so much about my mother country. My Mom’s paternal line left England about1645 from Lincolnshire. Spending my time reading the Time Team books. Also those written by Francis and Mick.

2021-02-03 20:40:22 +0000 UTCOh, yes to Viking site, especially because of possible link to colonial US! Plenty of us Americans here and maybe a visit to the US town for us after covid, even without archeology there, would be a nice way to connect ourselves to the dig site.

2021-02-03 20:36:30 +0000 UTCAw, that’s not true. There is a lot, but it’s not European. Grew up in S IL, about 20 minutes from Cahokia Mounds, and I know Indiana also has some mounds. Your state government has done into, but you can choose your fav search engine, and look as well. https://www.in.gov/dnr/historic/2827.htm

2021-02-02 20:39:48 +0000 UTCHi, I'm from Indiana as well. You are correct there is nothing to dig here.
Darla Goebel
2021-02-02 13:55:05 +0000 UTCexcited to have you all back with us! looking forward this time around to possibly help make it happen!

2021-02-02 05:46:23 +0000 UTCHello from Indiana. The home of NO archeology because nothing interesting has EVER happened here. Would love to see Ian P on the team. The unsung digger.
Valentina Mckinley
2021-02-02 01:36:34 +0000 UTCHello from California! Happy and honored to be supporting our beloved Time Team! Let's get digging!

Don Allen
2021-01-31 19:13:24 +0000 UTCIs Phil coming back?
Jeff Cole
2021-01-31 16:23:51 +0000 UTCAt the time its uncertain if he will join TT. He did wish them best of luck though

2021-01-31 09:36:09 +0000 UTCi really hope the 5k subscriber goal will be met but it might be a step too far in the given time, however the advertisement on the classic channel of this opportunity has increased which certainly did good in the numbers. I hope this will be continued so the goal will be reached =)
Bart Remeeus
2021-01-31 01:30:46 +0000 UTCI have just watched the TT announcement on YouTube, and I have decided to support the project with Patreon. I watched the very first episode of TT, and it became a regular time to watch TV for the whole family. I am pleased that it may be making a return, though without the late Prof. Mick Aston, who I continue admire from the original Team. (I liked Tim Taylor's hat so much that I decided to buy one of my own.)
Chris Seppälä
2021-01-30 19:12:45 +0000 UTCI'm a recent devotee; Just discovered TT this year. It's fantastic! can"t stop watching. All my personal hobbies and interests in one program.
Daniel Rowley
2021-01-30 18:42:31 +0000 UTCJoined in and very gladly so! I hope you get to dig very soon and I'd love to take on shovelling some turf away, to make it easier for you! Let's roll 'em sleeves and get some finds! Is Phil going to join the team?I'd miss his wonderful accent and gusto for a pint after a hard day!
Marjo Knipe
2021-01-30 18:22:28 +0000 UTCHi all, I have also just joined via Patreon, TT was a defining thing in my life but it took until I left the Navy in 2009 to have the time to take it up practically (but as a hobby!). I must say that it has been pretty bleak this last year or so with all my digs being cancelled but fingers crossed eh?
Paul Willetts
2021-01-30 17:25:16 +0000 UTCI joined up as a sponsor across the pond here in Canada. Have been working my way through the episodes during lockdown. I gave come to really live TT and have great respect for the crew and their talents. I am happy to support this project and would love to see any of these sites explored.
Michael Schneider
2021-01-30 15:27:05 +0000 UTCI am very excited! I found out about the Patreon from an Instagram post. I've been working my way through, watching all the episodes while in lockdown here in the Middle East. This is nostalgia come true. Well done to Tim and the team!
Caroline Shearman

David Boon

Karen Woblick
2021-01-30 04:38:28 +0000 UTCSomething I really never thought about, was all the permissions that are required. Paperwork and more paperwork. I realize it is necessary, but I just want to see someone dig a hole and find cool stuff. :)
Carl Johnson
2021-01-30 03:32:07 +0000 UTCExcellent! Time now to go watch “The Dig” on NETFLIX .
Eggs Ackley
2021-01-30 02:00:39 +0000 UTCWow, impossible to choose, they're all so good ... can't wait to see what's chosen for the 1st dig!

Gerard Dalziel

Penny Screech
2021-01-29 21:32:35 +0000 UTCI love Villa digs! The potential for mosaics or something like turkdean!!
Pegasusu

Birna Magnusdottir
2021-01-29 20:04:39 +0000 UTCSuch brilliant news! Well done to all the team, really looking forward to the coming stages.
Mr David J Cable
2021-01-29 20:01:32 +0000 UTCTurkdean was one of my favorites but any site is fine with me. Whichever has the "best bang for the buck" makes the most sense.
Stephanie Stewart
2021-01-29 20:00:26 +0000 UTCAnd to celebrate I upped my donation to the second level.
Ian Holmes
2021-01-29 19:35:00 +0000 UTCplay it safe ....villa.
Eric Johnson
2021-01-29 19:34:32 +0000 UTCGreat news - would love to see Stewart back somehow.
Gael Ferguson
2021-01-29 19:27:50 +0000 UTCVery excited for the new digs!
Jody Blackwell
2021-01-29 19:23:29 +0000 UTCTotally love the village digs and the history sometimes on how its linked in namesake to its past etc....cannot wait
william monteith
2021-01-29 19:18:57 +0000 UTCVillage sounds great. Love to see what you could find about daily life there.
Joel Ward
2021-01-29 19:15:25 +0000 UTCAn ancient village linked to Viking royalty. That sounds sufficiently (archeologically speaking) sexy to get some publicity though!!
Stephen Southworth
2021-01-29 19:14:43 +0000 UTCThis is wonderful news I can’t wait. It all sounds absolutely amazing .
Sarah Holloway
2021-01-29 18:51:20 +0000 UTCI'm all for the Anglo Saxon (and it is probably nearest to me, too! 😀)
Matthew Adams
2021-01-29 18:46:50 +0000 UTC🥂
Jean Buckley
2021-01-29 18:45:10 +0000 UTCSame here! :)
Simone Fritzen
2021-01-29 18:42:35 +0000 UTCI am very excited about this! All the sites sound interesting and I’m looking forward to hearing more about them.
Stephen Herbert
2021-01-29 18:42:03 +0000 UTCI am so torn. Anglo-Saxon would be great. But Iron Age is likely to be closer to where I live 🤠
Zoe Propper
2021-01-29 18:41:40 +0000 UTCFantastic news, I can't wait for this to start up again! A gap in my life will be filled! 🙂
Paul Wilkinson
2021-01-29 18:41:20 +0000 UTCI get my wish of Romano Britain! I can wait to tell my classmates and professors!
Charlotte Goodwin
2021-01-29 18:40:06 +0000 UTCSo excited! I am actually watching an old-time team episode as I got this notice LOL
