Word of the Day #1: Ground-truthing (Patreon)

Sunday brings another Time Team Classic, and for this week’s official commentary, Dani Wootton is joined by environmental archaeologist, Naomi Sewpaul.

An out-take from their conversation has inspired a brand new, impromptu feature: ‘Word of the Day’.

Ok, it won’t be every day, but we’ll be adding interesting archaeological words and phrases to our virtual ‘Time Team Dictionary’ as and when they crop up in discussion.

Today’s archaeologists have some incredible technology at their fingertips, from ground penetrating radar to LiDAR, helping to locate features with pinpoint precision. So, is there really any point in digging?

Introducing our inaugural Word of the Day: ‘Ground-truthing’.
