Picking up where Part 1 left off, we return to our opening session with the Producer Patrons for the promised Site Wrestle – and it's a great one too!

Our Producer Patrons have found a couple of fantastic sites of their own to bring to the table: Houghton on the Hill in Norfolk, home to a small church with a huge story, and Blick Mead, a mysterious site just a few miles from Stonehenge in Wiltshire...

Bring it on!

Interesting idea. What fun.

Sarah Holloway

The site close to Stonehenge sounds very interesting and would tick many boxes .

Priscilla Reeve

Great stuff! Our supporters from the other side of the Atlantic certainly know what they are talking about.

Don Cook

Hi; the church might incorporate pieces from the (supposed) Roman temple in it's major fabric.

Ann H

Fresco person south of the Alps here (and in the U.S.). Painting iconography can been related to the architectural site and situation, i.e. walled monastic, floor plan, etc. See Danny Curcic pub on Orthodox Eastern EU architecture (includes Sicily, flows over into so. German and No. Italian). Sites in Serbia 11th century churches can be on pagan sites and incorporate sacred springs. So site survey has interesting merit.

Great, Tim, to see your wonderful Ginger-Haired Youthful self--thanks! i've made a screen-shot to add to my TT File. It's great to hear other archaeo-informed devotees add in their perspectives, yes! Thanks! Your query, Tim, of favorite scenes or events of 200+ adventures with TT--impossible! One for EACH episode/site would be better!! One of my favs was a farm location, Phil's trench suddenly invaded by lovely Ginger-feathered hens, eagely clucking and scratching r for what he had turned up. (My father would do little trenches in our hen-yard as a Sunday treat for his "pet" hens.) Also, the incongruity of Phil verus the hens was delightful comedy. In my own field days of cultural anthropology, a landowner was enthused about documenting the early site of a Freeman's Town (early towns built by recently emancipated Enslaved People, c. 1868-1870 America), but neglected to tell me about the animals he sheltered on his 3,000 acre ranch. So as I trekked around like Prof. Henry with my yellow Trimble Satellite GPS of early 2000s, I was startled but delighted to hear hoof beats, assuming horses-- then wide-eyed to see a 30 or so herd of Giraffes emerge from a bend, pounding down the slope. Once in a lifetime thrill! Yes, every site different, urban or rural, and what marvelous field projects! So glad to continue my beloved anthro with Time Team.! Martha in Blue Skies Texas

Is there a map of other sites in the UK with the rare Blick Mead algae? Isn't there new research on red related photosynthesis (ocean if I recall)?

Charr Skirvin

Roman temples have precincts around them which could give up some interesting stuff. What about digging between the church boundary and the Roman road? There might be other things along the road.

William F. Campbell

Wonderful conversation with delightful, intelligent people -three of whom prove North America is not completely forlorn. I think more information about the church would help. Is it really a stone structure with Anglo-Saxon reuse of a Roman structure on a major Roman road? If so, that seems very rare indeed. And, the possibility of other road side structures should be evaluated. Overall, both sites are good candidates. bc in Cypress, Texas.

Charr Skirvin

PS: Tim, you forgot to reveal your own favorite Time Team moment.

Kathryn

Now I’m going to have to search YouTube for more info on Blick Meade (sp?). If the algal bloom is rare, that’s another reason for site preservation, but would it somehow hinder any site work if disturbing the ecology of the area with digging/runoff would harm that algae somehow?

Robert Boudreau

I think Houghton on the Hill certainly needs to be put somewhere on the to-do list. The probability of that being a transitional site, from Roman to Anglo-Saxon, puts it high on my interest scale. If asked what my favorite old episodes were, there would be many, but all having to do with that topic, transition. The Isle of Man episode is a great example, where the transition from an Iron-Age culture to a Viking one was so brilliantly shown. We still know so little about these changes and how they affected the local populace, anything that could potentially shed even a dim light on it will always intrigue me.

Ann Wagner

It’s wonderful to “meet” some fellow supporters. Their different backgrounds and ideas are great to learn about. I look forward to more such programs. By the way, my cousin, a high school teacher whom I turned on to Time Team, is getting over Covid. TT is part of her healing. I’m sending her TT merch as a get well gift.

Malcolm Hitchens

Houghton on the Hill; a hill in the Norfolk landscape could suggest occupation prior to the Roman invasion i.e. Iron Age, Iceni. Investigation of the surrounding area could produce a view into Boudicca's ancesters if that not too flowery! Could Liedor be useful?

Bob Arnold

Thanks, Tim, for hosting this conversation. We really enjoyed it, and meeting James and Elizabeth too. Tanya and I are also intrigued by the Houghton-on-the-Hill site suggested by James. Elisabeth asked about where to put trenches at Blick Mead. So far there is only one trench, expanded and deepened over the years. I think the best way figure out how to help would be to talk to the archeology team lead by David Jacques. FYI to all, this is my Blick Mead playlist on youtube. Cheers. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKdCN0xE8luTdOq5QH5sJzI5TEOhXl1mR

Thanks

Mark Lund

I seem to remember Blickmead, though I wouldnt have remembered the nam. I watched the documentary a few year ago. If I recall, it was a 'pool' that was hidden in a small wooded 'copse'. Presumably just left alone as too wet to farm, so hidden over time. I dont remember what let the team to investigate; I will have to revisit the videos. Sound great, if there is more to find. Were the flints offerings, or what it a knapping site?

Andreas Pryce

Some of these video links to Vimeo are saying "PAGE NOT FOUND"!

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi Andy. We've just flagged this with Patreon, who as a rule ask patrons to report any access issues directly to their Help Centre, so they can trouble-shoot depending on the specific device you're using.

James Robbins

Tim, May an American suggest a site in the USA. I would love for you to investigate the original James Fort at Jamestown, Virginia.

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi James, we did visit Jamestown for a Special to celebrate the 400th anniversary in 2007. A fascinating dig, when many well-preserved artefacts from the original European settlers were recovered from the well.

Philip Stack

Houghton on the Hill looks a fascinating site, with finds from the Iron Age onwards, and a deserted medieval village. There seem to have been two archaeological investigations in 2000 and 2001 during restoration work to the church. A veritable 'palimpsest'!

Craig Richardson

Having the same issue on the Android app, but works fine if I run it through the phone browser (or the PC). Have contacted Patreon on Twitter in the last hour, but yet to receive a response.

Helen Scott

Would love if you could do a few digs in Northumberland especially round Morpeth and bedlington :-)

Andy H

Yay, we used to go fossil collecting at Houghton when I was at primary school

Bob Arnold

I should say I don't know if I am pronouncing David Jacques' name correctly. It looks French, so I have used my non-existant French in pronouncing his last name. I am sure someone can correct me.

Melissa Rybb

It's Saturday, and the video is not available. :-( Same message as the other video.

David Boon

A wonderful conversation. Blick Mead sounds like a worthy site fir Time Team depending on what isn’t yet already known and what could be gained from a dig. The period covered by the site is one that there is still so much more to learn about. I would love to see a dig focussed on an area similar to Oban in Scotland where DNA research is revealing new insights on the transition from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic. In the words of one of the researchers in that area, Dr Sheridan, “It is clear that some locals did ‘get jiggy’ with some of the farmers.” The old ideas of population replacement due to conflict and introduced disease are being challenged. I am sure there must be similar sites that could add to our understanding of pre-history. I would love at least one episode focused on a burial site and the use of DNA as this is technology that has also advanced so far. With the new format of pre and post dig resources this is something that wouldn’t have been possible in three day only format.

Jill Hobbs

Re. Blick Mead - David Jacques is working on the site on an ongoing way, and has written a book on it!

Ian Sinnette

A fascinating site. would there be any value in exploring it's proximity and links with the area of Vespasians Camp - it's neighbour? There is evidence for prehistoric occupation there.
