Back to Brancaster's Roman fort

Time Team have returned to the Roman fort at Brancaster in Norfolk. The geophysics team, lead by John Gater, have unfinished business at the site after their last visit in 2012. In this episode Helen Geake and Martyn Williams take you behind the scenes of the filming of a brand new Time Team programme. John and his team fire up their magnetrometry and GPR equipment to discover so much more about this amazing site. You'll hear conversations with John Gater, Jimmy Adcock, Stewart Ainsworth and Francis Pryor. Plus, Martyn gets a ride in the geophysics buggy to see how it all happens. John's answering questions about geophysics from Time Team members on the podcast too. ** JOIN TIME TEAM ON PATREON! ** Support Time Team by becoming a patron and get access to exclusive behind-the-scenes content here: https://www.patreon.com/timeteamofficial ** MERCHANDISE ** You can now purchase Time Team's Official merchandise here: https://shop.timeteamdigital.com/ Website: https://www.timeteamdigital.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/timeteamofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timeteamofficial Twitter: https://twitter.com/thetimeteam Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialtimeteam ==CHAPTERS== 0:00 Introduction 0:54 John Gater 6:09 Jimmy Adcock 15:43 Geophyics cart 19:45 Stewart Ainsworth 24:05 Francis Pryor 31:22 Questions

Wonderful to see Francis Pryor back in a Time Team! Great episode. It would be great to get the link to the original Brancaster episode on the Team Team Classics channel. I'm having difficulty finding it...

CCZ

Thank you for a fantastic forecast. I would have loved to hear what John has to say about LiDAR. Thank you

Shannon G

A nice blast from the past to hear from some of the original members of the Brancaster dig. Looking forward to the finished episode and seeing what new information arises.

Kerry Hennigan

How wonderful to see Francis again, along with John and Stewart, etc. I'm really excited for the return to Brancaster.

Chris

Love the thoughts of Francis Pryor of Archeology and how it was and is developing.

Michael Crouch

What a wonderfully joyous episode that was, and near my neck of the woods too. Great to see and hear from John, Stewart, Jimmy and Francis, with Helen and Martyn doing a top class job as ever. You’ve made my week.

Barry Jones

Great work guys, it really does whet the appitite for the program this is premiering. I'll look forward to the next podcast you produce. 👏👏👏👏👏

Jacob Beazer

Please tell me that John got the drink at the end of the day. Everyone looked excited and the sun was glowing but it sure seemed like a cold day. Great podcast by the way. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Lots of questions that had been discussed were answered throughout all of the conversations.

Mika

Now what could have gone wrong five years ago... hmm... was Stewart seen near the equipment by any chance?

Wessex-Wyvern

Series 20 episode 2. There are a few pirated versions on YouTube.

James Ingram

Jimmy Adcock is particularly good at explaining how things work - more of him in future please

Rebecca Clark

Another great episode, thank you.It was wonderful to learn more details about how the geophys works and see it in action.Looking forward to seeing the results when the episode comes out.

Robert Boudreau

I remember the look on Phil's face when John showed the team the GPR plot on top of the magnetic one in the original episode. Looked like a blueprint laid on a child's scribble. It was so clear and detailed everyone was stunned. Can't wait to see what John and his team have done this time.

Barbara B.

We need to get John a "Will geophys for beer" tee-shirt. 😁 Fabulous episode!

Colette Wilson

Its like spending time with old friends now, these kinds of podcasts which includes everyone we know. So informative, interesting and fun. I love these onsite clips/podcasts. I'd love to have a beer as well!

Kerry Hennigan

In Australia it's at least accessible on Foxtel (my main justification for being a prescriber to that service).

Bob Greaves

Great stuff. Brilliant to see so many Time Team A-listers and hear some of the expertise behind the archeology that there isn't time to cover in a normal programme.

Lorna Dryden

We hear the airplanes over head, I wonder what can be seen from the air?

Lorna Dryden

All the “old” faces!! So great to see everyone from the “old days” (talk about relics lol)😂

Lorna Dryden

Have i earned my pint 😅😅😅😅

Mikael Larsson

This is what makes beeing a Patreon worth while. I love this type of extra material.🤩

This episode of the podcast gives due credit to the pioneering fore mothers and fathers of Time Team, those who are still lively and though not mentioned, those who have “fallen off” the Blue Range Rover. Your program is an important documenting of archaeological techniques and innovative use of new technology.. The brief pause and swallow between the presenters at the mention of AI was quite telling. The loss of or belittling of original thinking in its face is daunting. Time Team builds respect for the many forms of the archaeological sciences and the individuals and groups involved.

Would it be possible to construct 3-dimensional maps of finds in each dig, so that one can view a visual history of finds ,which would be built up by each slice of progressive 10cm depth of a dig. I'm sure that something can be learnt from that. The recording, and accurate locating of finds, are required to make this possible.

Andy Quick

Thanks for this podcast. I hope we will be able to see the new geophys results, eventually. Not that I will be able to properly interpret them, but I would like to see them.

Geoffrey Zoeller

Brilliant. Loved the episode. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Bertolio

I've always hoped Brancaster would get a Turkdean-style revisit, so this is something to be looked forward to!

Ruth M

Thanks so much. Great explanations and thoroughly enjoyed watching the episode 👏.

Eelco Kruidenier

Thank you. Looking forward to more. Can't wait what you can find out more about this site. Nice to see Francis again too!

Carrie Hartley

I know the area well and they are fighter planes from the US Base...too fast for a peek at the ground😁

Irene Daly

Lovely to see I’m not the only one who has ‘aged’ but can I ask Stuart a question? In one episode he was able to pinpoint an exact spot by comparing the tree line around a field. How much can we rely on the greenery surrounding a site? Some Trees and shrubs have bordered fields undisturbed for hundreds of years. Is it helpful?

Fushigi

I've noticed that older hands like Stewart and John seemed to be a bit slow and creaky like me in the earlier episodes of the new Time Team, but are now rejuvenating before our eyes as time goes on. I need to find something to get the fire back, too!

Fushigi

Thanks to how busy work has been, it's been three weeks before I could watch this, but thanks very much to John for the answer to my question. It was something that always had me wondering, in the old days. On some episodes I would see, 'well, magnetometry just isn't working out, we'll try resistivity', and as an engineer, my first thought was, 'isn't there some way to use the one to help to cut through the noise of the other?' Of course, computers have come a long ways, but even back then, we could do quite a lot.

Sue Fidler

Didnt John hit the ground with a sledge hammer somewhere else.. was it Cheddar gorge? I distinctly remember him turning out with a slegde hammer and using it for seismic somewhere other than the one he mentions

Sue Fidler

He did that on losts of sites.. including one town site where he lined up a painting - was it a Gainsborough or something like that, and worked out exactly where it had been painted from
