We're often asked what happens to the finds after a dig, and how our understanding of the site has developed since. Time Team's resident small finds specialist, Dani Wootton returns to shed more light on the intriguing site at Brimham, near Harrogate in Yorkshire.

Through a close reading of the report and some desktop digging, Dani provides new insight into Brimham's links with the grand Fountains Abbey. She has also tracked down the finds to the local archive.

But it seems that one key piece of the puzzle remains unsolved to this day. Perhaps a budding researcher among you can help settle this mystery once and for all?

I enjoy the personal anecdotes so please keep including the ‘bits’ that the viewer doesn’t see!

Bob Pockney

Really enjoyable to see the team members reminiscing about digs. It adds another dimension.

Dale Wilson

Thank you wonderful insider info, lets find out what the inscriptions said

Susie Stockton-Link

I looked it up ! "Where did the phrase chalk and cheese come from? The first known usage of this phrase comes from John Gower in his Middle English text Confessio Amantis, 139. In this text an untrustworthy shopkeeper was selling chalk under the pretence that it was cheese: 'Lo, how they feignen chalk for chese."

Susie Stockton-Link

and "The Confessio Amantis by John Gower was written between 1386 and 1390. Gower was a contemporary and friend of Geoffrey Chaucer, and was a trilingual poet who wrote in three languages – French, Latin and Middle English".

Justin Freeman

Another great conversation shedding some extra light on familiar programmes, really enjoyable. And absolutely right about the farming origins of the ‘chalk and cheese’ phrase!

Carole Cox

I really enjoyed this conversation. The role of sheep and peasants brings forth the political climate of the time.

Eggs Ackley

Great to hear Dani’s commentary on an interesting dig. Keep’em coming!

Sarah Copeland

Another great conversation! Love hearing Dani's take on it all. And yes I did giggle at the name too!!!

Chris Hughes

Thank you for another very interesting talk. As others have said, yes we really need to look at the inscriptions again.

Anne Collinson

So informative. Thank you. I wanted to sort out the words too!

Frank Pellow

loved this episode and all the retrospective content. thanks

Kerryn

Dani’s passion and humour are so engaging to watch! Definitely agree on the abbot’s name being one to remember!

David Boon

Interesting to learn about the likelihood of a kiln being nearby because of the tiles with production faults. Another great chat with new insights into one of the digs.

Stephen Southworth

This is a brilliant partner to the programme. Great stuff, thank you.

Stephen Herbert

This is one of the best interviews so far. Thanks.

The audio from this video doesn't work in the iPad app. Other Time Team Patreon videos do work so there is something different about this one. I watched it in a browser.

Hi Stephen. That's strange, thanks for bringing it to our attention. We haven't done anything different with this one, but please let us know if the issue persists or if it crops up on any other pieces. We can raise it with the platform. Thanks

Tebbin Salvesen

OMG! I am a 70year old archaeology nerd! Thanks for the link to the site dig conclusions I went there and read the whole report....why oh why didn’t I go into archaeology at the university all those many years ago.......thanks for all the great entertainment and knowledge!

Melissa Rybb

Wonderful! We need more like this please! Lengthy discussions about a dig and site are tops. Do more! Do more!

Christopher Samuel

Chalk (ahem) another one up as being a fan of these retrospectives, really interesting. I was also curious about not further looking at the inscriptions present, in the report they only list one inscribed stone (object number 539) and that seems to be because it was in a field wall and the stones reused in buildings are not included. Mick and Tony even talk, near the start of the programme, about getting them all photographed and analysed, and then to the end Tony does say that it was too fragmented or worn down to make out what it said.

from the beginning, the letters you received from the 'ordinary' non archaeologist farm owner/town dweller, were the initial and exciting reasons to watch the program. it would be lovely to see a return whenever possible of viewer participation/excitement for their area/village.

Ellen Holt

I also would love to see a return to this particular location to see what other treasures and information lie waiting to be discovered. Also, it seems to me that the inscription was the missed opportunity of the dig. Some letters might be worn, but assembled together as a sort of puzzle, I imagine it would be like trying to decipher a first graders writing. In the end, a pattern would begin to emerge, and our brains would translate.

Erica Long

I think it would be wonderful to get more follow-up on earlier sites. Such as, have any sites been revisited by archaeologists since Time Team, or have any new finds in areas near previous sites changed any of the previous conclusions?
