You've been asking for ad-free access to the Time Team podcast. We've decided to go one better, with an ad-free version four days early!

In this episode Dr Helen Geake and Martyn Williams speak to Richard Osgood, from Operation Nightingale, who reveals what it was really like to excavate at Time Team's latest dig; the princely burial at Cherington. You'll also meet the conservator tasked with bringing an Anglo-Saxon object back to life.Time Team's environmental archaeologist, Naomi Sewpaul, takes you on a tour of the lab where she analyses wood and charcoal samples and Helen answers your questions.There's also Time Team News where we discuss the amazing discoveries at Sizewell C, the site that will eventually be home to a new nuclear power station for the UK.

Can you put an amount on what you need to go back? Can you consider group funding?

steve

Do an ex-gratia fund raiser to continue work on this very important Anglo-Saxon site. I am sure the Patrons , and others, would be generous. I certainly would. It is our national heritage after all.

Dorothy Africa

what a loss of a gifted conservator, may Pieta be remembered as well as mourned

steve

This is wrong. Th precursors of knitting exists from the stone age. I am surprised you do not know this. There are many videos showing the techniques on Youtube. Now it does not use needles, but the results are virtually indistinguishable

Stephanie Stewart

Really prefer visable podcasts, who wouldn't want to see Helena and Martyn, ad-less podcast, had really stopped listening because I despise ads. Many, many thanks

Lyn Baines

Thank you for the ad-free access. Is there an RSS link so I can listen in my podcast app? Loved the princely film, looking forward to hearing more.

Opegasus

Absolutely awesome, thank you!

Leitchy

I love these and watch them all, but someone PLEASE get Helen a better camera!

Anja Adam

I finally managed to listen to all the available podcast episodes. My recent flights from Norway to Germany and back were so delayed that I had plenty of time. The episodes are extremely interesting, and I can't wait for the next one! Thank you so much, Helen and Martyn!

Martin Packer

+1 for an RSS feed - as I want to add it to my Overcast podcast client.

Kathryn Turner

Ad free podcast is a great idea. I would also love to get it in my podcast, with an RSS feed as others have suggested. Thanks!

Really appreciate the early access , thank you💜

Helen is making the same distinction that the authors of the Wikipedia article on knitting make between knitting and the more ancient form you're describing, nålebinding.

Wessex-Wyvern

I'm staggered that knitting is such a recent invention. I had it in my head that it originated in Egypt, but had also thought that it was much, much older than Helen said. And I had thought that things like fishermen's jerseys and ganseys were older than was implied in Helen's answer. Wow. (And yes, I am wearing a crocheted shawl in my avatar.)

The History of Handknitting should be taken with a grain of salt, as there's been many decades of analysis since then. His patterning of the Sion relic bags (my particular obsession) is wrong for example. In his defense though, he was referencing really old black and white photos! Nalbinding isn't done on a frame, you're thinking of sprang! Nalbinding is using lengths of yarn and a large needle to loop the length around to make stitches. When you run out of a length, you spit splice on a new piece. There are extant textiles where it looks like knitting, but there is also a nalbinding stitch that does the same look and it's impossible to tell unless the item is taken apart. Which no one wants to do!

Hazel Uzzell

Naalbinding on a frame? I honestly don’t think so! Done with a sewing needle or purpose made naalbinding needle and yarn.

Simon Orchard

Nålbinding or nålebinding is one of those fascinating words that demonstrate the close relationship between English and the Scandinavian languages. Nål being needle and pronounced something like nawl, nåle means the same but in Norwegian we pronounce the e, and binding is exactly the same, just pronounced slightly differently, i is like in bin rather than an eye sound.

Dennis D Kerkman

I would think that making fish nets is quite ancient and not entirely dissimilar to tying hookrugs with a kind of large crochet hook.

Fiona D

Yes, I agree. I have a friend who does nålbindning (as it is in Swedish). Just a needle with an eye, like a sewing needle more or less, and the yarn. In Swedish, the vowel å sounds like the o in Minnesota as spoken by a native Minnesotan. To my ear.

Re Sizewell C: the archaeology is amazing, but please give a mention to the huge destruction being caused by this very contencious project - to people's homes, lives, businesses, and health, and to the wider historical communities. Protected environments are being damaged or destroyed (23,000+ trees felled and miles of hedgerow removed - all described by SZC as 'vegetation clearance'). This project, alongside several other major infastructure projects, is brutalising this area of Suffolk. I have watched the archaeologists at work, and wondered how many of them can allow themselves to give a thought to these aspects. How do you deal with such things?

Michelle Cailes

What happened to the interviews with Richard and the crew?

Jane McCormack

I enjoyed Matt Nichol's team briefing on the original Princely Burial and a briefer version on the Return. There must be conversations such as this on many digs, but we tend to just see everyone already 'diggng in'. Is that something that might be included on future shows?

Jane McCormack

Another question - what happened to the hearth stones in the first dig - were they just put back in the hole and back filled?

Graham Small

Has the possibility been considered that the large 'pools' discovered recently in Rome might be cisterns for storing water to supply nearby residencies?

John Hunt

Just behind Martyn's right shoulder is what is missing from the new Time Team. Phil's hat!

Jaye Arnest

I think she got naalbinding and sprang (which uses a frame) mixed up....

Jaya Bhat

Thank you for providing an ad free version for us Patreons. Much appreciated

Chris Moller

Regarding the book shown in the background, The Time Team Dig Book, in World War II, it was the custom among American soldiers, for field burials, to mark the grave with the soldier's own rifle, bayonet fixed and driven into the dirt over the grave, with the soldier's helmet balanced on the rifle butt. The picture on that cover, a shovel with a hat on it, is disturbingly reminiscent of that practice. Surely the practice of archaeology results in few casualties...
