Its been a while since we did one of these! In our latest Spoil Heap Q&A, Derek Pitman catches up with Time Team's geophysics expert, Jimmy Adcock. Jimmy chats to us about returning to Brancaster and what the next big thing could be for geophysics!

Brancaster 2026 Dig

Don't forget, the full story of second Branodunum dig will be revealed in a brand new Time Team episode, to be released in the coming months. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the Classic and Geophysics episode on this site! More to Brancaster to come!

I will be there one day in the not so distant future to volunteer on a dig. Thanks for everything Time Team. Long time fan from the US!

Anja Adam

Really weird. There is no sound?????

Janie Waters

And, so, when should we expect *another* 3-day dig at Brancaster ... seems that needs to be done. So many unresolved questions.

Wessex-Wyvern

Try again. Check the settings on your equipment. The sound is fine for me.

So, sounds like a hovercraft based array might work better for wetlands.

Greg Edmand

Jimmy is such a brilliant communicator about such a highly technical science.

DIANA R NELSON

Always more questions, more data. and newer technology. Jimmy doe s great job.

Don Blume

Could a portable radar-based system similar to Spidercam, the system used at many sporting events be developed for archaeology? With such a system, the array of radar sensors, controlled in all three dimensions, could be guided by a computer program. As far as I can tell, the sensor arrays on the current towed systems aren't the heavy parts of those rigs, so they should be able to fly by wire this way. And with a ground-based towing system, the width and stability of the towed array is limited by the terrain. Perhaps more accurate data could be collected at a pass by an array not running along on wheels but as close to the ground as the XYZ control such a fly by wire system allowed? I see that the University of Nebraska is using a modified Spidercam system to scan 10 acres/4 hectares of crops in just a few hours. The upfront cost might be high, but if it worked it might be well worth the investment.

Watched the 2012 Brancaster, and now am devouring these new shows. Love love love all the GeoPhysics!!!

Menetho

Great, now I have to stay alive for another 14 years so I can watch the next Brancaster dig. :-)

Carrie Hartley

Very interesting and Derek's rogue question was a good one..Thanks both

Nigel Bell

Excellent questions - really enjoyed the tech' talk!

JUDITH COOKE

I love The Spoil Heap discussions. They offer great opportunities to hear about various aspects of the project in greater depth and learn more about what the different members are doing. Thanks for providing them. Thanks also to Jimmy and Derek for their time and knowledge.

It's exciting that the dialogue continues and doesn't stop because the cameras aren't there. Thank you Dig Watch for letting us sit in on the conversations...

Mary Lu

These behind the scene videos are so informative. It is a pleasure to learn this way about archaeology. Like being in a fun classroom. Thanks so much!

Olivia McGerty

So much new information and so much potential for the future!

Gloria B

Wonderful explanations. Communicating with terms aimed to the general public is something I associate with classic Time Team goals. Thank you for your efforts to keep archeology accessible.

Brett W Walters

This is one of the many reasons I will be a Time Team Patreon for many more years to come, touch wood with many rings... Another great conversation, love the tech we have today, what a difference a decade makes.

Eggs Ackley

I could listen to Jimmy explain geophizz stuff all day. Strap that GPR to a purpose built hovercraft and have fun on the wetlands!
