We know nobody can get enough of the brilliant Stewart Ainsworth, so we thought we’d release an extended piece of our Brancaster Geofizz Challenge with all of Stewart’s wanderings!

In this extended cut, Stewart Ainsworth explains how subtle features in the land can reveal hidden stories about the past and help archaeologists understand how a site once functioned.

A fascinating insight into landscape archaeology - and the way Stewart sees the world around him.

So grab yourself a cup of tea, sit back and relax as we follow Stewart along on his explorations.

Enjoy!

I was in Brancaster last week. I wish I had seen this first!

Lilli Haicken

OOo....Roman stones in the church walls!

Wessex-Wyvern

Very interesting. Thanks for the extended info.

Janie Waters

I love Stewart's explorations here. It adds so much to the understanding of the site. Thanks for this :)

Warren Feldman MD

Stewart. Is great as usual. He adds a great depth of what life was once like in the past in real terms

Elisabeth

I'm always fascinated by Stewart's commentary as he makes observations and connections, pointing out suitable details that only someone with his knowledge and experience would even see. Thanks for this extended Stewart fix!

Warrick J Foote

like to have a drink with Srewart ..have bit of chat

Chris

What I like about this is the importance of: take your time, have a close look, consider the influence of the activities in the past centuries. Has a very calming effect on me. 😊

Bron Lloyd

Stewart is a gem and we are lucky to have him as part of TT. I loved his comment about the horses on the beach….

Lee Thurston

Ah this is fantastic. I could watch this sort of content. All day. Thanks for sharing.

Pam

Thank you Stewart, I love the environmental and geographical landscape. it is great to be reminded to be aware of all the features which are still visible and which can open our eyes to the past. More please!

Andrew Lamb

Brilliant! Stuart is my hero and has always been !!! As a Yorkshire man to another, thank you Stu … this type of video is what we love and need for all major sites … ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️❤️🫂🍻

Whenever Stuart goes through these landscapes, I have to wonder if he's picked up other bits and bobs of knowledge, e.g. the kind of plants you find in a landscape naturally, or those that have escaped from where they were introduced, or even, some bird recognition, like the wonderful bird of prey circling behind him at some points.

I thought it was interesting to note that the architecture of the warehouse building respects the Roman building style of sections of flint interspersed with brick bonding layers. Is this just continuity of technique when working with these materials, or are we perhaps seeing an aesthetic decision to respect the style of a piece of wall that was known to the architect at the time?

Marisa Mia

Thanks for sharing this new episode with Time Team fans!

Eelco Kruidenier

I wish there was more visualisation in the video. Stewart can point out thing behind the camera and wave with his arms, this was there and that was there. But with a visualisation or map it would become much more understandable.

Looking at the house that used to be a warehouse, it occurred to me that the Roman stones may have been robbed out of the fort to begin with, but then robbed out again say from some medieval building that was demolished. And on and on, recycled possibly many times. All the intervening layers of history, just like in a trench. But taking place over a wider landscape. Wow.

Joyce Boss

Fascinating! Will this video (eventually) be available on YouTube? I'm a member and can watch it on my laptop but would love to enjoy it on a bigger screen via the YouTube app on our television.

‘Enjoyed this, love listening to Stewart, thanks so much.

the polish dude

I totally enjoyed your presentation. My name is Rich and am a retired farmer,so having an explenation of the land is right up my alley. Thanks so much Stuart.

Emma Lowton

Fascinating. I love a glimpse into Stewart’s mind.

Emily Flotilla

After watching Stuart the past few years, I find myself looking at the little and not so little lumps and bumps in Michigan! 🤣 I have no allusions of finding a Roman Villa, but many indigenous people have lived around here. An old family friend used to find arrowheads on n his property. My brother was given several as a child. We're in our 70's now, so don't know if he's still has any of them. There are Native American burial mounds about 40 miles away however. Stuart certainly has awakened a curiosity in me nonetheless. Thanks for awaking some brain cells, Time Team.

Emily Flotilla

I was able to share screen with my TV. Check your laptop for settings!

Rick Shepard

Taking a walk through the landscape with Stuart sharing his observations would be amazing. This was the next best thing, thank you!

Michael Sperry

Nice to see all the Roman stones that were robbed out in use in the church and other buildings nearby. We've all seen the episodes where Phil has dug what was supposed to be a wall, only to find that it was robbed out. Here is the other side of that process.

Li Lammert

Apart from the actual digs, listening to Stewart talk about lumps and bumps has always been the most enjoyable part of Time Team for me. As a result of watching him for many years, I now look for lumps and bumps in any open landscape I see. Thank you for this extra special episode.

Brian M

This video is an excellent piece of content, showing the strength of this type of media Time Team are now using and have at their disposal in this format. This gives Stuart the time and the pace to really provide in-depth detail of not just the subject matter but how he approaches it. It also again showcases that Stuart is extremely intelligent, highly articulate and experienced and so engaging, and it’s as if a friend has just recorded this directly for you. I found this 45 minutes utterly engaging and feel this is a great additional offering for Time Team in showcasing the brilliant people, their knowledge , their approach and process, and the subject matter being addressed. Exactly how the podcast comes over with the fab Helen. Look forward to seeing more of these simple paired back documentaries accompanying the main shows. Just loved it!

Jackie Leeming

Very interesting. Thanks Stewart. Went to Richborough fort last year which was also fascinating.

Kerry Hennigan

Wow, that was a real lesson in landscape archaeology. It was terrific, thank you Stewart. I also loved the atmospherics that were evident near the shoreline...the whistling wind, the blowing sand. Fantastic. Can't wait for the excavation episodes. 👏

David Dearden

Fifty years ago I was living on that part of the coast and it is quite remarkable how much the channels and the dunes have changed since then. Between Wells and Burnham a whole new line of dunes have formed and the land has pushed out seawards by a hundred metres or so. I am guessing the line of dunes nearest the sea at Brancastar are also relatively new. It would be interesting to see if a survey on the golf course revealed any traces of channels heading more directly towards the site of the fort.

william

Delightful to spend 40 minutes exploring and learning the landscape with Stewart.

Constantijn Prijs

Stewart once again shows why he is one of the pillars of Time Team. What an enormous joy to watch and listen to him explaining the history of the landscape.

Melissa Rybb

Love to see more Stewart. I wish I could see what he sees. Woderful

Wendy Sengpiehl

Thank you Stewart! You are the reason that I pay more attention now to the landscape wherever I go.

Chris Gardner

I loved seeing so much more of Norfolk than just the dig. Especially the coastline.

Beth Mulligan

Even as a child in the original time team, I always found Stewart fascinating.

Tony

40 minutes of joy and learning. Thank you Stewart

Smithylass

Thank you Stewart and Time Team. A fascinating investigation of the landscape in relation to the fort and surrounding area. It's good to see Stewart's measured analysis of how things were back then by looking at the "lumps and bumps" and land layout.

Bill Dodds

Brilliant. Love to see him do one on a fort on the wall. Say Housesteds. The idea of zone of control for the fort and trading acces might apply to wall forts as well. With Brancaster zone extending into the sea possibly.

EJF

Would love to watch this on my large screen TV, Stewart is always so interesting with his unique perspective. Unfortunately, there's no YouTube link. Don't do casting or phone app (tiny screen = invisibility) so I guess I'm out of luck. Why do so many TT videos on Patreon have YT links but the ones posted recently don't?

Rebecca Clark

Thank you Stewart.It is wonderful to fully hear your insights and amazing what can be learned from the environment around these sites.

BevCapeCod

If. you follow along on Google Maps you can see exactly what he's talking about
