It's our second day here in the Cotswolds, and despite the weather the archaeology is already paying dividends.

Being Time Team, though, it's not exactly straightforward to decipher. What we can be sure of is an exciting week ahead.

Even better, we're pleased to welcome Jackie McKinley to site, who has already made some crucial discoveries. It's time for more Dig Watch!

I hope the weather was kinder today. It was a bit better here, in Reading

Zoe Propper

Beach shelter to protect the tech from the rain...genius!

Zoe Propper

Can't wait to see more on the circular feature tomorrow.

Is it possible the cremation is of their kids and once a parent dies, they put pices of their kids with the parent's burial?

Todd Gillespie

I loved the cliff hanger at the end…

Patricia Amero

I feel sorry sitting back, enjoying the action from my dry home, but OMG what action there is! Holy wow, more questions... 🤔

Jacques Pictet

Interesting features. I hope it will lead to great discoveries !

Wessex-Wyvern

This is so thrilling! So many interesting questions. I hope the weather is kinder tomorrow.

Wessex-Wyvern

Or maybe the elders were cremated, and the later generation had the cremated bones buried with them?

This site seems to have a penchant for the unusual, can't wait to see what they're all about. It must be difficult working in the rain, but being in a drought-striken heat dome on the US east coast, I have to say it's very refreshing just seeing all the rain and long sleeves. But hopefully weather improves for the dig, this site is too intriguing to be hamstrung by bad weather.

The enthusiasm, knowledge, and wisdom between Helen, Richard, and Jackie bodes well for the Cotswold site. Definitely Time Team invigorating!!! Dig on!

Rachel

Interesting! I’ve not heard of these momento mori burials before. A flotation birthday treat for Naomi! Looking forward to the rest of the week.

Nigel Sadler

It just getter better and better!

Simon Orchard

I was excavating at Roman Magna on Hadrian's Wall in May and we discovered 7 cremation burials, the way they were excavated and processed is exactly how Jackie explains it.

the polish dude

I am very excited to be a part, in a way, of this dig. Thanks Time Team!

Carrie Hartley

Ooh.. reminders of Glastonbury 1997..nursing with #FestivalMedicalServices. Our tents were 2 in below the mud. Going to the loo was a no-go.. we were creative.. 😬X

Jee

I could imagine carrying one of Jackie's momento mori packets as a personal keepsake and then being buried with it when my time came.

Alan McMillan

Bring your own canoe, deep wellies!

Alan McMillan

Fantastic discoveries, what will be next?

Chris Bate

It's getting Exciting!!!! Pink Stone Day tomorrow LOL

Jen A

Can’t wait for tomorrow! 👍

Carrie Hartley

Adding to my previous post, and cremation. Back in 2000 we went on a 'Granny Sprinkling Trip' - dropping handfuls of our lovely Welsh Granny around her beloved childhood/yound adult locations in Swansea and The Gower... Nowadays the cremation process is very refined, so no bits of discernable bone (thank goodness!) But I can quite see that our ancestors may have done something similar...

Dario

Really exciting stuff. Shame about the weather. I hope it brightens up for you!

Graham Stokes

Thank you for sharing this interesting detail and prospect. Looking forward to Naomi's float disco/veries.

Christopher Samuel

Oh that's fantastic! I also had a thought on Jackie's cremated bone, would another possibility be that they are part of the remains of someone who moved away and then after death some of their cremation were brought back to their birthplace to be buried with parents/relations?

Neil

Wow the excitement builds!!!

Clive McIntyre

I am wondering about the depth of the cremated remains in relation to the body. Is there any indication of how much later they were added or are they contemporary? Could they have been a momento mori carried by the deceased? It is so very intriguing.

Irene Daly

Oh Wow! I thought the England game was exciting but I would swap my armchair for a pair of wellies and a trowel any day. Can’t wait to see what the ‘pink slab’ reveals. Best of luck to all the team, you are quite brilliant.

Amethyst Gray

Oh wow. Maybe another Roman sarcophagus but this time with the lid in situ! Exciting.

JUDITH COOKE

We have been having similar weather in Melbourne! Hope everything goes well for the remainder of the dig.

Cheryl Kurucz

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

David Boon

Great insights into the dig. I am pleased that dig watch is starting to share more details of finds.

KP

I love seeing Helen playing host. Can't wait to see what's under the big pink stone!

Elisabeth

Helen is great and Jackie is always a treat. Exciting developments!

Fiona D

Is the trench too large to cover with a tent? Seems like I have seen that in other Time Teams when it rains....

Doug Mackey

Thrilling! What a cliffhanger! And such intrigue…

Books by Hal Grey

As this is Project Nightingale & Cotswold dig, I think Kerry will not have had time to get everything in place, but looking at the soil, it would still be a wet trench.

Books by Hal Grey

Once again a great snippet, can't wait for the full episode. Every dig starts with Questions, but having the flexibility to adapt to findings is what makes these shows great, and always leaves us waiting for more 😎

Priscilla Waller

My old SouthTexas bones hurt for any of "you'll " working in shorts and rain gear.

Marilyn

Wow! Wonderful exciting update. I am honestly beginning to feel like an active member of "Time Team" Can't wait for day 3! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👍👍👍👍👍👍

Debbie Williams

So exciting!! Looking forward to the next update

Carl Johnson

That overview of the trench so clearly showed those grave cuts. And why is that pink stone there? You couldn't write better cliff hangers.

Anita C

Wow. This is FASCINATING!

Difort

Great update Helen despite the sogginess!

wayne melberg

I'm loving every moment. Love you Time Team!!!

Margaret North
