The trench was muddy, the weather was rough, and the barrows aren’t cooperating… but under all that, we had some very intriguing archaeology!

This is just a small glimpse behind the scenes as Matt and John head up to the spoil heap to empty their buckets and barrows.

We look forward to sharing the full episode of this very windy but exciting site early next year!

Poor John! Skivvying doesn't come easily to him, does it 🤩 Looking forward to finding out more about the trench...

Joanne Kellam

Looking forward to seeing more!!

Stephanie Hogan

Ah, Shetland. Don't like the weather? Wait five minutes... Very excited about what the team might have found!

Jee

They are REALLY enjoying the teasing way too much! It makes me laugh out loud when I should be working. Thanks for sharing!

Emily McKenzie

I read your comment before I'd played the video and for some reason my brain read the word "skivvying" as "skydiving" - I spent the whole first minute of the video thinking we were guna get a little clip of Jon sky diving! 😭😭😭

Great video,made me laugh. Can’t wait for more!

Janette Harold

Looking forward to this Shetland dig. Shame the weather hasn't been great. Great to have Time Team in Scotland again.

Carol Overrill

Come on? Mud and wheelbarrows? You teases.

Wessex-Wyvern

😂 oh lordy lordy! Somehow I can't see John Gator and skydiving in the same sentence! But I can see how you could have misread it... I always read "shopfitters" as "shoplifters" 😉

Barbara B.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that archaeologists have favorite wheelbarrows. 😄 Make sure Matt gets his preferred barrow on the next dig, folks!

Martin Gibbs

Wow, John is getting his hands dirty must be a time team first!

Garry Matthews

It would be great if patrons could participate in something like this someday

Andy Grigg

I have difficulty following the discussion when John gets all technical. I guess that's what you call a 'spoil'er.

Rick Doner

I remember the dig in Spain where John actually dug a trench and Phil was laughing his head off lol

Barry Jones

Looking forward to seeing it, but I'm hope that it's better than the Sutton Hoo coverage.

Michael O'Connor

I've always loved the northern episodes. Looking forward to this!

Irish Smurfette

So exciting! Thank you, Matt. 😁 Lol John 🙄😂

Patricia Amero

Poor John... 🎶 "nobody knows the troubles I've seen, nobody knows my sorrow..." 😫 bring out the violins 😂

Bron Lloyd

John! Ha ha! Very excited about this dig, I’m nuts about the Scottish isles :)

Steve Mikre

I'm really looking forward to this Shetland Time Team Dig...

stuart sutcliffe

Love seeing Shetland archaeology digs. The history is second to none

Alana Tolstad

Imagine, John, emptying buckets!

Patricia Amero

A memorable event, he once used a shovel on a dig in Spain. The look on Phil's face was priceless. I remember laughing for a long time about that.

Charlotte

So looking forward to this! Watched Time Team's Barra episode just last night! :)
