Fly on the Wall: Site Visit Sneaky Peek

We know that many of you are just as eager as we are to get the new digs underway. Of course, putting Time Team together is a huge undertaking but things are developing behind the scenes, with many key aspects falling into place. We are on track for filming as planned in September – and we can’t wait!

Tim has just returned from a site visit to the Iron Age Settlement in Cornwall, where he spent time with the fantastic local team on the ground. We’ll be sharing more of this very so...

Trade in the Ancient World

You may be aware of the intriguing sherd of Samian ware discovered at the Iron Age settlement in Cornwall that we will be digging this year. What on earth was it doing there?

In this general discussion, Tim Taylor and Helen Geake ponder over trade in the ancient world. We know it was happening to some extent. But how might it have worked in practice? How established were international trade networks? What happened before the introduction of coinage? And what can Helen tell us about sour...

Fly on the Wall: Blick Mead - Stonehenge Spring (coming soon)

We're just putting the finishing touches on a fascinating new interview Dani Wootton has recorded with archaeologist Prof David Jacques.

Blick Mead is an ancient spring a stone's throw from Stonehenge, with exciting evidence of human activity in the Mesolithic – long before the famous stone monument was erected. Prof Jacques shares news of this rare and important site that is increasing our understanding of the wider landscape around Stonehenge and the origins of this iconic yet enigm...

Book review: Finding Eanswythe

Earlier this year, we revealed the incredible story of a 7th Century Anglo-Saxon saint and princess at the heart of a fascinating and high-tech archaeological investigation. Many patrons called for the associated book to be made available... and so we're delighted it can now be purchased from our official shop here. 2021-06-18 11:56:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Masterclass (intro): Buildings Archaeology

We're delighted to present an introduction to buildings archaeology from Time Team regular guest, Richard K Morris.

Richard shares his 3 'Os' and 3 'F's and shares some of the history of his fascinating specialism.

Masterclass: Buildings Archaeology (Phasing)

What exactly is buildings archaeology? And what is the best way to approach it? Dani Wootton speaks with Time Team regular guest, Richard K Morris, to shed some light on the subject.

Richard, who provided invaluable insights on some of our key digs, shares his three 'O's and three 'F's of buildings archaeology. He also makes a compelling case for the importance of his own specialism.

As Richard explains in this masterclass, one of the fundamentals of his job is to make sense of th...

Fly on the Wall: Miles on Mosaics

Every now and then, we like to share short clips, previews, extracts and fly-on-the-wall moments – whether from upcoming interviews, research trips or simply footage that might otherwise be condemned to the cutting room floor.

These pieces might be a little rough around the edges, but hopefully provide insights into the process, or a flavour of what’s to come while we work on the finished content. Going forwards, we’re going to flag these pieces ‘Fly on the Wall’.

Kerry Ely returns to Time Team!

We're thrilled to announce that Time Team's long running location manager, prankster and all-round Mr Logistics will be returning to the fold for our Roman villa dig!

Kerry first joined the show as a digging archaeologist on the suggestion of his close friend, Mick Aston. Kerry later moved into the production side and was key to organising everything on site, from helicopters to porta-loos. He played an integral role in keeping everything running smoothly, both on and off screen.

Historic Building Reconstruction: Dr Richard Parker

Time Team recently spent several years researching the stunning Medieval town of Dunster in Somerset for our ‘Dig Village’ project. We enlisted the expertise of buildings archaeologist and illustrator, Dr Richard Parker, who helped us strip back the layers of history and find some of the earliest buildings in the town. Many of the houses turned out to be hundreds of years older than originally thought, with ancient structures hidden behind more recent facades.

In this video, communi...

Environmental Archaeology with Naomi Sewpaul

We're thrilled that archaeozoologist Naomi will be joining us on Time Team again for the new digs this year! Through her vast knowledge of environmental archaeology, Naomi brings a whole new level of insight, or – as she prefers to call it – 'another roll of the dice'.

When we recently compiled our Ultimate Dig Checklist (check out our earlier posts), we might have forgotten something: a flotation tank! If you don't know what one of these is and how it will help us, Naomi is here to...
