We have several exciting new releases on the way after the Sutton Hoo dig is completed at the end of June, including our coverage of this year's Digging Band of Brothers in Aldbourne, and our collaboration with Forestry England investigating a World War I camp at Sherwood Pines. We'll be sharing more details of these very soon.

I noticed that Hilde put the bag/flag with the burned stone not in the position she removed it from, but a few centimetres off. I guess that was because she continued cleaning in the original location of the find right then and the flag would have been in the way?

Bethanny Allain

I so enjoyed the commentary that Hilde was giving as she went along.

Fiona D

It was so enhanced by the fact you saw it as she did, the POV glasses or whatever it was. Seeing what her hands are doing with her explanation. Hours of this might get old, but targeted chunks that are information rich opportunities for teaching would be fabulous.

Barry Jones

Hello, is a natural broadcaster and front person for the show.

Barry Jones

Sorry Hilde. Your name got changed to Helo, by my predictive text editor. But well done that was an ideal explanation of the dig site and what the difference of coloured soil ment. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Robin

No, I disagree there was a depression where the stone came from and if you look Hilde nailed it with the flag.

Wolfgang Zenker

I just watched that part again, and you are right. I had the original location mixed up with another depression a few centimetres away.

Maggie Huffman

Thank you! I love the commentary combined with the view from the special specs! More, more, more, more please! I don't know that hours of this would get old...okay, maybe eventually!

Patricia Amero

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Mick's 1st job out of Uni teaching the blind how to 'do' archaeology? It brought home to me how important the 'feel' of the soil is while scraping back the layers. Watching this, now I get it, even though it was about seeing a feature, I could tell that she'd feel the difference as well. Thank you Hilde & Tech Crew. 🙌

Patricia Amero

I find myself using the edit option (3 dots on the right) almost every time spell check gets it wrong on my behalf. So don't feel bad, we all can relate, and you are not alone.

Patricia Amero

I like that they're so keen to interact, sharing what they love doing with the world.

Very informative. :)

Barry Jones

Thank you Patrica, that's very kind of youm👍

Bron Lloyd

Fab! Loving it all and Hilde is just the right person to be doing these little vids :)

Dario

This is great! It's a really immersive way of seeing the dig and Hilde does a great job talking us through it. Really interesting.

Paul Faulkner

We've got a question about moustaches... and Anglo Saxon facial hair in general. The famous mask from Sutton Hoo shows a very tidy little moustache. Give that the chap is from the "dark ages", I assume that close-up/detailed images of people are as rare as their writings and wooden buildings. Do we have any accounts of how Anglo-Saxons groomed, if there were changes in facial fashions over time, and if the commoners emulated the folical-fashions of the socially-elevated.

Mary Lu

It’s fascinating to have this close up view of things like the difference in soil determining what was there at one time. Also good to finally know for sure what the different flags indicate. Thanks for this addition to our education resources!

Michelle Cailes

Very interesting. Cheers. Question? Does Hilde even age? She still looks as she did when she first appeared on the classic episodes.

Carl Johnson

These view is amazing. Too bad everyone troweling couldn't be wearing a pair, but I could see the editing nightmare with all that footage. Thanks for explaining the flags.
