This is the best memorial to Pieta, celebrating her work, her dedication, her love for the job. My deep condolences to her family and friends, thank you for allowing the video to be shown.

So shocked to hear that Pieta had died, so soon after completing her post-excavation analysis of the burial finds. Is it too intrusive to ask why she passed? My condolences too, to everyone who knew and loved her.

I was so shocked to learn about Pieta’s passing. Deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Adrian Collier

Isn’t it so ironic that Pieta described the qualities for her job as care and patience to then be so cruelly deprived of the lifespan to carry them out. Condolences to her family and the Time Team family so cruelly deprived of talented people including Kerry, before their time

So sad to hear of Pieta's passing. My sincere condolences to her family and everyone who knew her. Also, can we please know what a 'typical' dig would be expected to range in, in regards to overall costs?

Barry Jones

RIP Pieta. Your skulls an wonderful approach and methods of work will be greatly missed.

My heart goes out to Pieta's family and friends as well as to the Time Team family. I truly appreciate permission being given to post the interview.

Fascinating to hear professionals reflect on their practice. Thanks.

I'm watching this in bits because I'm "in bits." Pieta was such a lovely person. My condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues.

Michelle Cailes

Very sad. Love to hers and Kerry’s families.

Pieta was my daughter's age. So much of life yet to unfold, her loss is a tragedy personally and professionally for so many. My heart truly goes out to all whose lives she touched, especially to her family. Prayers for comfort and peace.
