Stewart just makes landscape come alive I have never looked out at fields in the same way! Also his enthusiasm is infectious!

Mika

Amazing to see Stewart among his lumps! One thing is that I can only find the audio version of the podcast, though it states above it is available to watch on YouTube

Chef Tess

Loved that podcast!

Mika

Never mind, now I see it on YouTube after refresh

Chris

A question for the Podcast. Do the archaeologists know how many farms/settlements were in the vally in the area of Bodbery Ring and have they an idea how many people lived there?

Brian Spalding

Fantastic episode, thanks to all involved. Great to hear from Tim and Stewart on this episode. Keep up the great work!

Pat Gentry

Thanks for this! Very interesting.

Kathy Bryan

I couldn't agree more, I was just thinking the same thing.

Mrfoad

I would love to spend a day going around a site with Stewart and his collection of old maps and surveys.

Mary Cahill

So interesting - I wonder is there a map/layered record showing all the hill forts on Britain that we know about and, given what Stewart said about hillforts often not on hills at all, whether they are often simply undetected and undetectable in the landscape...

David Alan Jones

On the transfer of words between languages (in the main podcast), there is a YouTube channel call "Robwords" that deals with similar topics, so there may be a chance of a meaningful interaction there.

Treewright! What a Tolkien kind of word. Of course he was a linguist interested in Anglo-Saxon things (well more than just interested, he was a professor!). I don't know if he used the word "treewright" in his fiction. Also, with medieval folding candlesticks, people carried the candlesticks with them, but what about the actual candles? Did they also go in your pocket?

Julianne Ture

Yes! That’s one of my favorites.

Sharon Polomé

Stewart Ainsworth is always interesting! and I am always impressed by the depth of his knowledge, and his charm in presenting landscapes to those of us who otherwise would NOT have a clue!.......

I always enjoy watching Stewart , brilliant video!

Simon Orchard

Stewart has been an inspiration for decades. I can proudly say I have 10 previously unrecorded iron age burial mounds to my name, thanks in no small part to watching Stewart over the years.

Martyn Williams

Great question, Chris. I've added it to our list to try and get you an answer on a future episode

Martyn Williams

What a legacy! Thanks Simon. Keep up the good work!

Jude Edling

Always enjoy Stewart's insights, thank you!

Timothy Pearce

Don’t know if I’ve missed the answer to this, but. What’s hanging on the wall behind you Helen? Is it some sort of artefact?

Des Carter

Can you please allow us to cast to YouTube as its difficult for me not being a tech wiz. Thanks in advance

Alice Meyer

Excellent episode! Amazing that millenia of archeology is still visible in the landscape. I admire Stewart, not only for explaining so well, but for an enthusiastic, elastic mind that can adapt to newer technologies that enhance knowledge.

Cate Kauffman

I continue to be amazed at how many human “civilizations” have been lost to the ages. And that makes me realize that our current “civilization” is relatively young and very likely to also dissolve into dust and rubble. And yet, and yet, we humans, for some reason continuously rise from the ashes, so to speak.

John Armbruster

What an absolute treat hearing from Stuart.

Martin Packer

Question: we know modern transport infrastructure has an impact on the growth and prosperity of communities. I wonder whether roads and tracks had the same impact on pre-Roman communities such as hillforts, and how the advent of Roman roads affected the relative prosperity of communities.

Deborah Foster

The difficulty filming Stewart, as he indicates the points to observe in the landscape, reflects the wholistic nature of his specialty. It’s hard to communicate what he wants to explain without multiple cameras and graphics. Good effort on a challenging shoot. Love the man.

Joe Woods

Thanks for another great episode! I'm loving the change to weekly. Question: In the Time Team classic episodes Mick very often seemed to be carrying around a serious camera. I don't think this was ever referenced in the show. Was he taking photos in his professional capacity or just for himself? Whatever happened to the photos?

Rose Macdonald

Great episode this week! I have a question: Helen, you must have come across some fantastic objects in your time but is there one that really stuck out that you just wish you could ask it's original owner- what on earth is this/how did you use it???

Nigel Sadler

My dream would be to go for a walk with Stewart!

Lengua Franca

I wanted to weigh in on one of the questions asked by a Patreon fan! My research background is in historical Romance linguistics, and for those of us who focus on historical linguistics, there's a bit of a different answer. Yes, terminology for technology (like the 'chariot' example) or roles involving production (like the 'carpenter' example), those are easily borrowed from one speech community to another. But lexical borrowing overall is a common phenomenon from external sources; that's not the same for the rest of the phonological (sound) system nor the morpho-syntactic (words and phrases) system. In fact, those are rarely borrowed from external peoples! (By the way, I think Helen was trying to recall the name of the Celt-Iberians, perhaps also the Basque cultures, who inhabited the Iberian Peninsula before the Carthaginians and Romans came on the scene.) Hope that helps!

Pamala Mullis

It's so enjoyable to learn about this history. Thank you.

Paul Roden

Stewart what a treat

Sarah Pethan

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for showing us the possible burial ground. Has it ever been excavated? So curious about what it is!

Ben Cooke

Martyn chasing Stewart around the hillfort with the mic 😂😂😂 Brilliant episode but please get Stewart a clip on mic 😂😂 This could be its own series. I could listen to Stewart talking about landscape archaeology all day every day.

Frank Pellow

Thanks for answering my question on this week’s podcast. I have another question if it’s not too cheeky. What are the costs associated with doing a Time Team dig? Are the team paid for their time? 😊 The landowners compensated for loss of income? And what about the equipment provided by the likes of the Geo psych team?

David Alan Jones

For the 8th April podcast, relating to multi-floor Roman buildings ... (1) rooms heated from hypocausts had channels in the walls taking heat and smoke upwards, wouldn't these have been extendable to upper floors?; (2) the well-known Roman lighthouse at Dover had several floors, so is there any evidence there that remains given later usage?

Martyn Williams

Hi Ben, glad you enjoyed the video. We're working on the mics!!

Shannon G

Always enjoy Stewart’s passion for the landscapes of history. In an upcoming episode it would be interesting to hear an update on the Sutton Hoo shipbuilding project. Their website is interesting but always nice to hear your interviews and to get some inside details and perspectives.

Shannon G

I was thinking the same with respect to the heated walls. Was this only in the very high status buildings or would it have been more common in northern regions given the weather?

Dinah Sanders

Fantastic! Thanks so much for this!

Jon Leslie-Smith

Question for the podcast. Seeing the apparent global membrship of the Time Team Patreon, could we have a map showing the distribution of member's across the world? At the Sutton Hoo dig last year I met a range of people form far and wide, and I was surprised at the apparent global reach of a cancelled quirky UK sunday evening TV show. I think that in this devisive world, this achievement of bringing people together in the pursuit of knowledge should be celebrated more.

I love the way you don't miss a thing! Thanks Stuart, farmer Rich.
