The next episode of the Time Team podcast is here! Click to listen:

https://pod.fo/e/2a83c8

Dr Helen Geake and Martyn Williams discover Pompeii like you've never seen it before. New excavations at the site have been unearthing perfectly-preserved bathhouses, skeletons and jewellery which allow us to learn even more about life in the ancient city before it was destroyed by a volcano. Dr Sophie Hay was heavily involved in the dig and takes us through the most breathtaking discoveries.

Patreon members can WATCH the interview right now!

Martyn revisits the site of an old Time Team dig in The Cotswolds where an exciting new discovery has been made. Plus, Time Team's Meg Russell tells us how archaeology is a family affair with three generations involved in the discipline and Helen answers more of your questions.

Comment on this post with your question for Helen to include in our next episode.

Marvellous- I’ll watch this over breakfast right now!

Gillian Gordon

I have a question regarding Sutton Hoo: Was a skeleton discovered in mound 1? I’ve never heard of remains being with the ship burial, only the famous helmet and other items. Thanks. Gill

Chris

Please keep connected to the findings on the outskirt of Pompeji. We tend to forget the hard work and life of the people sustaining the marvelous items and sides. This talks are simply wonderful.

Chrina Jarvis

The interview about Pompeii was fascinating, especially as I went there in April of last year with the first-class and recommended travel company, Ace Cultural Tours. We saw first-hand some of the fantastic frescoes and marble remains, as well as visiting Herculaneum which is equally well preserved. Both sites provided a fascinating insight into life pre-Vesuvius - a visit is certainly recommended!

Matthew Adams

Is plaster casting still the best way to capture the detail in the Pompeii voids? Would a scan not do the job less invasively?

Nigel Sadler

Brilliant! These podcasts just keep getting better.

Tim Walker

Oh no. I visited Pompeii about 40 yes ago. I suppose it’s time I went again !

Toria Grace

love this! just a quick question though. I started listening to this on Spotify, and then when I could sit down to watch I jumped on here but then realised this is just the Pompeii part of the podcast. how come Spotify and YouTube have the extended part that continues on to near 39 minutes but patreon only has the near 23 minute version? not a complaint by the way just a genuine question, I thought maybe you're going to upload the parts separately on patreon?

Nicholas Birt, Whiskey Wookie

Is this just a teaser trailer? Podcasts usually go about an hour or so. Am I missing the actual podcast?

Irene Daly

Dr. Sophie was amazing. I was at Pompeii a year ago and after spending a full day we only saw a tiny portion of the city. On a practical note, what do they do with all the tons of pumice? And is there likely to be a special exhibition of the more personal finds, like the dishes and jewelry? Thank you again, Time Team, for a super podcast.

Irene Daly

I almost forgot to ask- during the eruption, which came first, the ash or the pumice?

Martyn Williams

Hi Victoria, the podcast (available on Apple, Spotify and YouTube etc) is 39 minutes long. It contains a cut down version of the interview with Dr Sophie Hay. The full length, extended version of that interview is available to watch here on Patreon as bonus content to compliment the podcast. Hope that helps

Martyn Williams

Hi Nicholas, you'll find the actual podcast via the link in the description or via Apple/Spotify etc

Julianne Ture

No – the acidic soil consumed the bones, just as it did the wood of the ship.

Michael Sperry

In a previous episode, the question came up about stairs vs ladders in Roman villas. Is there anything at Pompeii that sheds any light on this?

David Dearden

I was about to ask the same question. Dr Hay appeared to have almost unique expertise on Roman building techniques.

Mimi Schott

I was wondering about those stairways too!

Donna Oldenkamp

I watched the latest special! So glad I found Patreon for more in-depth content.

Matchu peshu in peru is similar to that part of pompei as you have the posh people at the top and the others at lower levels with a communal area in the middle.

Dave Couchman-Boor

I’m far from an expert, but I would imagine that putting a probe into the void to scan it, could do more damage than a liquid foam will do.

Janie Waters

I've been to Pompeii twice in my life. First time I was about ten years old (to put it into perspective, that was 1956), and the second time in 2006. I have a huge file of photos (most of which I took on the more recent visit), and have been enamoured of Pompeii all my life. Perhaps a past-life there. dunno. - excellent interview. thanks!

Martyn Williams

We'll have to do an item on that in a future episode. Thanks Caroline!

Martyn Williams

Glad you're enjoying the additional content, Donna. We appreciate your support!

Martyn Williams

Glad you're enjoying the additional content, Donna. We appreciate your support!

Martyn Williams

What an excellent thought! How silly of us to forget to mention it. I'm sending Sophie an email right now so I'll put it to her. (Martyn)

Richard Randlesome

I went to Pompeii many years ago and was blown away by the scale. Excellent interview and I really enjoyed the documentary on the BBC.

Wessex-Wyvern

Thank you for another excellent podcast! I have often wondered how Roman life in Britain might have differed from Roman life in and around Rome, given the differences in climate - especially up near Hadrian's Wall. Can we say anything about that from archaeology?

David Alan Jones

Question: can we have an update about what is going on with dendrochronology in general, but particularly about work to extend or improve the standard timeline series.

Jakub Jůzl

Only tangentially related but I think there is a record from a soldier living at the absolute edge of the Empire in present day Slovakia complaining about cold weather and terrible wine. :)

Frank Pellow

Really enjoying the podcast. Question - Can Helen explain the relationship between Time Team and Wessex Archeology please? I often see them mentioned and I wonder which elements of the dig they are responsible for.

Martyn Williams

Really good question, Frank. Thanks very much!

Cecilia Lenk

Thanks for talking to Dr Hay

Martyn Williams

You're welcome, Cecilia. Hope you're enjoying the additional content here on Patreon

Ken Durbin

Question: I couldn't find the episode but in a later one Tony reluctantly offered his opinion on an aspect of the dig. I was so impressed with Mick's reation. Mick told Tony something to the effect of "You've been doing this for 20 years, Tone. You're entitled to an opinion." Tony often asked the simple questions for the benefit of the audiance: "What's a motte and bailey castle?" but can you talk about Tony's actual interest/experience with archeology?

Gayle Hales

Is there a site to go to and see Dr Hay’s work in region 9?

Gayle Hales

I’ve been to Pompeii twice also. The second time was to primarily see the Villa if the Mysteries! It’s hard going there sometimes when you have to use a cane but have a helper and it’s worth the effort! I love the updates on continued efforts.

JUDITH COOKE

I visited Pompeii in 1970 and have been fascinated most of my life. So much more has happened since then. Thanks for bringing new content and sharing it with us.

Elaine P

I visited Pompeii over 20 yrs ago and remember the guide saying the city was in the midst of rebuilding from and earthquake, which might explain the building site Dr Hay spoke of..? But that bit of information made the visit that much more poignant. Wonderful interview, and hopefully can figure out how to watch the documentary on this side of the pond. Thanks for another very enjoyable and thought-provoking podcast.

Martyn Williams

Thanks Elaine. Glad you enjoyed the podcast

Donna Oldenkamp

Question: I have not noticed anyone with their degree in Anthropology. Dr . Hay studies civilization, yet is still called an Archaeologist. Am I missing something?
