Dr Helen Geake and Martyn Williams are back with another edition of the Time Team podcast on YouTube. In this episode Lawrence Shaw and Stewart Ainsworth make the tricky journey to a remote part of Northumberland. Might they have come across the site of a lost medieval village, or perhaps an ancient 'shieling' site? The pair debate how suitable the site might be for a larger Time Team investigation.

Also, Time Team's Carenza Lewis gives an update on work following our dig in the village of Norton Disney and Time Team's graphics whizz, Matt 'Bear' Clark, shows us behind the scenes on some of the works of art he's creating for the programme.

In Time Team News this month you'll learn about the discovery of a site for producing illicit whiskey, the medieval notebook lost in a toilet and the doomed 19th Century expedition to discover new trade routes. Links below.

The Northumberland landscape is epic... I hope Time Team decides to do that dig.

Peter Horsam

I've seen Time Team mature over the years, this is a good example. It's a very remote site in what can be a seriously inhospitable area. It's best to record what they can and leave it for posterity.

I love those virtual recreations at the end of the podcast. When and where do we access those virtual buildings?

Kathy Carlson

I loved all of this--really excited about the digital reconstructions and about the possible exploration in Northumberland--incredible landscape.

Helen's question about how do you hide the smoke from an illegal still... That kind of activity with probably the same kind of equipment was going on in areas of the USA at least as recently as Prohibition (1919-1932). Possibly some descendants of moonshiners could shed light on this?

Bill Dodds

Do think link ups with Nat Trust and Forestry England are offering excellent value and opportunities for Time Team. And Lawrence an excellent communicator amongst the, dare I say it, younger generation. Podcast is excellent.

Pauline

If the fire is hot enough there is usually not a lot of smoke unless you put more wood on, it might not be spotted after the firs 15 minutes.

Great podcast (like I really need to say that?) I do believe the word that Bear and TT is looking for is that he and his squad are working to make his creations ' immersive'. That we feel as if we are right there, not a screen (or oceans) away! Next, (i guess) he will find a way to make the V-tours complete with subtle period background ambient music with a UI/UX toggle (on/off) switch. Betcha he's also working on smellorama so that when we are at a beach scene, ocean smells (not low tide, please) waft through our smellorama scenting speakers...or perhaps the fresh flowers used in the funeral internment. Whilst you have my attention, I am sending a HUGE shout out to the videographers who set and film all that glorious 'B' roll! The 'scapes are Uh-Mazing! My under pixeled tv nearly chokes on the views (being a bit dramatic) and it is many a time I pause the video/stream to gasp at the sensational views. many, MANY thanks from South Dakota, USA

In other (shall we say) disciplines, tree branches are used (or fire under the trees) are used to disseminate the smoke. I am guessing here but I believe certain woods, peat, dung? may burn more completely with very little residual smoke..again, a guess.

Wolfgang Zenker

Interesting episode as always. Regarding the site in Northumberland and getting stuff to and from site, maybe Operation Nightingale has some contacts to German Military and could ask if their Mountain Infantry could help out with their pack mules, maybe as part of an exercise.

Alan Murdock

I noticed the frog on the lily pad at 28:04 through 28:06 is wearing a crown.

Kathy Calmejane

That landscape is almost as stunning as Bear's work on the reconstructions! Love seeing this content, thank you to all the Team!

Pam

Love the podcast as ever. Always found Kielder area fascinating, look forward to future exploration. Bears reconstructions are terrific, I was always a fan of Victor Ambrus work and this brings it into a whole new technological era. I need to get headset! Particularly relevant to making the stories accessible to those who are unable to get out there and experience the landscape. Also, the continuing story from Norton Disney. I love the evidence of continuity of occupation going back to early Ango Saxon. Nearly back to the Romans? Thanks, keep going!

Helicopter drop off and pick ups? With preset tents, latrines, rain canopies. Huge food cold cases, propane cookstoves. Sort of Glamping TT style.
