WORD OF THE DAY 

Before watching, please take note of our latest 'Word of the Day', courtesy of Lawrence: 'Phenomenology'

“Phenomenology is commonly described as the study of phenomena as they manifest in our experience, of the way we perceive and understand phenomena, and of the meaning phenomena have in our subjective experience. More simply stated, phenomenology is the study of an individual's lived experience of the world.”

Holy crap! You found another boat ?!?! We don't need no stinkin' land drains! Find of a lifetime, John and Jimmy! Well done! Beyond excited to have TT make more history.

Stuart Birch

I had a wonderful day a the site on Friday, and the highlight was John giving a few of us some insight into the geo-phys in the area including the new "boat"! Oh, and finding my name on this year's flag.

Rachel

Woad dyeing AND a boat?!! I’m in archaeology heaven.

Wessex-Wyvern

That is mega-exciting! And... Hilde looks amazing in the blue costume ❤️

Patricia Amero

🤯 I can't repeat the words I used... but basically the same idea. lol

Justin Freeman

Every item included in this update is interesting and exciting. What an amazing opportunity this project is!

Patricia Amero

Loaded with 🤯 new info, you gave us great insight into what was an action-packed & exciting week at Sutton Hoo. Thank you to the wonderful reenactors & volunteers on site. 🙏 Thank you, everyone

Loz

I reacted exactly the same way when he said that! 😆

Leanne

Simply Fantastic!!! I look forward to my email, hoping for some new tantalizing information or experience (from afar) that Time Team has produced. This journey has been wonderful.

Irene Daly

How cruel! The video ended just as we discover the possible find of the century! I can’t wait to see if it really.

Irene Daly

sorry! I cannot wait to see if it really is a boat.

nic vipond

Wow. Another boat.. possibly????? 💪🕺

Kate

YouTube has closed captioning. Sometimes it's weird, but Time Team's seem pretty accurate, except for Sutton Who ;-) Look for the little CC in the upper right corner to turn them on.

Cathy Martichenko-Grilz

Incredible clip! I can’t wait for the next update. Thank you! I hope next week goes well for the team.

Rick Shepard

Well that was tantalizing...

Jen A

Wait…what? What a cliffhanger!

Kerry Hennigan

0h wow, from the solder to the blue outfit so beautifully modelled by Hilde to ... another boat burial??? Oh happy day 🎉

Eggs Ackley

Loved Jimmy’s comment, “I don’t have a reputation anymore…too many years on TT.” 😜

James D Speckart

I hope the next episode is about the phenomenology of discovering a previously unknown boat burial at Sutton Hoo!

Cheryl Kurucz

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mary Lu

Great stuff! Enjoying every minute of it!

Michelle Cailes

So good to see that Stewart has lost his bubble head. Derek and Lawrence along with Helen are Ab Fab. Knowing we have to wait until 2025 to see the actual complete show is mental. I want a blue outer dress like the one Hilde wore. Keep up the great work guys. Thanks from Australia. 🇦🇺 😩 Boat or Land Drains. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Chris

Thank you Helen that you asked, "Phenomenology", I never knew this word exists. 👨‍🎓

Leitchy

Fantastic if the geophys found another boat. And Hilda absolutely looked the part in the Anglo-Saxon dress and head scarf. Not that she doesn't look stunning in filthy jeans & t-shirt! 😘

Don Cook

Loved the entire video.....very funny (Derek and Lawrence), glamorous (Hilda) and maybe another boat burial? Great Fun!

Elizabeth Neill

That overdress was a lovely color. Hilde's going to start a new fashion trend. Everyone will want one!

Elizabeth Neill

Excellent! Best musical response to a question ever!

Katrina Copping

Wow what a privilege to be in the clip. xxx Thank you for coming to Sutton Hoo xxx

Katrina Copping

A team of lovely National Trust volunteers have been geophys the River Field and found the mystery object - we are all very excited x

Andrew Gledhill

A possible boat. How exciting? Can't wait to see more.

Andy Woodhead

Not sure whether to believe that last bit in the pub! That would be an amazing find!! Has Lawrence managed to open that gate yet?

Valerie Aston

My goodness! My heart stopped when I saw the ghost of what just might be "another boat".....

Bob Pockney

"How many days to find out" ! Doesn't get any better.

FluffyKat

I'm watching these while I'm digitizing ditch profiles... makes it so much more enjoyable :D

Paul Wardman

Hilda totally looked the part & the potential boat is extremely exciting.

Catherine Anderson

How exciting! Another possible boat !I can’t wait to find out the outcome! I also want an overdress! The same color as Hilda’s please!

Kathy Ball

That’s incredible! Bet everyone is so excited about the possibility that it is another ship, that would be huge!!! P.S. I love the word phenomenology 😍

Dario

Wow! How exciting…. And what a cliff-hanger! How could you leave us there 😳

Beech

Discovered Time Team 2 & 1/2 yrs ago. I’ve binged watched every video!! Awesome series! Now Sutton Hoo?? = Woo Hoo!! I became a Patreon & hope to see lots more interesting videos. Thx to all of you!! So excited about Sutton Hoo excavations!!👍🙌🏼🤗🇺🇸

Patricia Amero

I laughed out loud... one minute I'm saying "no way 😲 NO WAY!" the next minute I'm wiping coffee off my screen. They really should warn us 😂

Jessica Brisbane

Whenever I see someone using a portable XRF I have to keep telling myself that no, I don't need one

Graham Dombkins

Oh wow! As soon as you saw the ghost images, your mind screams BOAT! Incredible!!

Elessa Wylde

I let out an audible squee when the final images were being shown. Can't wait to learn what has been discovered!

Patricia Amero

I always think "Beam me up, Scottie!" 🖖🤓

Michelle Cailes

😂 not sure about winter here in West Australia. Maybe as a dress on its own or, over skivi top and matching tights. Just enough to keep the cold at bay. Not that we are having much of that so far this winter: usually, sunny days get quite cold and when it rains, it’s more tepid, but this June, we’ve had beautiful sunny days with very little cloud cover. Tomorrow - Tuesday for example, low of 8•c @ ~06:30 and a high of 18•c @ ~ 13:00. Not too hot, not too cold: great Goldilocks weather. 😂🤭😇😎 Hildés hair truly made that blue go ‘pop!’

Michelle Cailes

🤭😂🤭😂🤭😂 awe - he’s all growed up now.

Hazel Uzzell

A word about the dyeing. The fabric in the metal cauldron is, I presume linen? The dyestuff is weld and tansy. The metal of the cauldron (iron?) would be having a saddening effect on the colour obtained, that is a darkening of the colour obtained. That is quite a bright yellow, particularly on linen, so I’d love to hear more about that. With regard to the onion skin. Once again a lovely colour, but sadly it is transient, so fades quite quickly in sunlight. As always it is hard to make definite rules about natural plant dying as rarely two batches turn out the same. Unpredictable is the word!

David Boon

What an ending. Loving these updates.

Eggs Ackley

Ya, Jimmy has really developed an engaging on-camera presence. Must have gotten it from John Gator (chuckle). 🙄🤭

Poppy Marks

How exciting to see another possible boat!

Anita C

Wow! Woad and a boat.

Brett W Walters

A Boat, Wow!! Time Team are going to be busy for a few years me thinks!

Jude Meehan

Oh my gosh! A boat! I got goosebumps when I saw the image. This is unbelievably exciting; actually no, its phenomenal ! :)

Kathy Ball

I'm literally stood on the hill looking down to where they are doing a test pit 🤩.....I'd love to be able to walk down and watch but I think I'll probably get thrown out 😭

Carole Winstanley

Yes, the fabric is linen, it has been saddened and is now looking green, as expected. The onion skins are in the pot next to it, the pot with the bright yellow and a mordant is being used. We have found that they retain their colour rather well. The clips of film shown here were just a few seconds spliced together of a few hours of filming. Copper pots were also being used that day. But you're right in saying..... "Unpredictable". Thanks for your comment

Elizabeth Neill

I was excited about it, too. I wonder if the Team will have any opportunity to confirm it's a boat before this dig is over. And, I wondered if it was a boat that sank, or a boat that had been buried on dry land that was now underwater.

Larry Besel, Jr.

I thoroughly enjoy watching Derek and Lawrence enjoy archeology!

Korey

Wow, if that is a boat, it would be a significant find! I must admit I'm jealous of the history...we have our history here in the USA but not like over there.

Colin

Another boat burial??? - Go Time Team!!

Annabelle

Wow wow wow! That is some amazing geophys 🤩🤩
