For several members of the team, the end of the dig is when the work really gets started!

In this brief and slightly shaky clip from the end of Day Three, we hear from Dani Wootton and Naomi Sewpaul in the finds processing area, to find out what happens next...

I love how Dani and Naomi are so excited about this!

Peter Lee

Wow. All those finds. And I love Dani’s and Naomi’s infectious enthusiasm. Makes me want to change my career path!

Zoe Propper

I would love to sit there looking through those finds.

Matthew Adams

This is an area in which I'm really hoping "old" Time Team differentiates from "new" Time Team. The 'just three days to do it' and a clear "on-the-day" narrative style meant that the *huge* amount of post-excavation work that went into that story was often turned into a throw-away line added in post about "later results from the lab" confirming/denying/answering something delivered on-camera.

Robert Wise

Yup! The next part does take time, and since great care is necessary … hurry is not a good thing. Late spring and summer we used to collect lake sediment samples for pollen, charcoal, diatoms, plant remains, and a few more items … during fall, winter, and spring … process, analyze, record, and write.

John Matthew IV

Clearly it is important to clean the finds so you can see what it is but are the not times when you want to study the dirt that it is found in? Somewhere I heard that keeping the dirt sometimes is recommended.

Robyn Williams

The "trench view" video showed what appeared to be soil samples being collected, boxed, taken away - and I assume would have been analysed. Not attached to any specific artefacts but still, the matrix where artefacts might potentially have been found.

Robyn Williams

I also have been concerned in the past about the rush result, when from my own experience, the excavation report takes way longer than than the actual excavation. Modern analytical techniques would make this even more so.

Simon Orchard

Sounds like we need some post-ex dig watch reports from the lab

Melinda Nagy

I would love to read the report. Can you let us know when and where it is published please?

Simon Orchard

This is just the 'general' finds processing of the usual bone, pottery and building materials you get large quantities of on Roman sites, it'll end up getting sorted, bagged and weighed and probably that's pretty much it. The more 'interesting' and diagnostic finds will be treated differently and sometimes even 'blocked' with its surrounding soil matrix for micro-excavation in a lab.

Ann Wagner

It’s great to see both pros and volunteers at work. Who lines up the volunteers and trains them?

Ian Thomson

Just as an aside, the major advantage of Time Team is that it is really a team, those that have taken part have practically advanced their careers with a very broad "further education" that few others have enjoyed. My wife and myself are armchair archaeologists, but have learned enough over the years to make comments and follow what was being presented as "Fly on the wall" Television. It is doubtful if we are alone in this respect and are very grateful that we have been entertained and instructed for so long. Hopefully enough viewers will continue to support and further future digs. the formats much improved as it is no longer just the question of an hour long TV programme, but give us deeper insights. Keep it coming, Thanks to all concerned.

Sarah Holloway

Very interested to hear the results .

Priscilla Logan

So interesting will we get a follow-up on these reports. Great job everyone.

Kathryn

I hope we get more “Dig Watch” updates from the lab(s)! Give us a peek thru the microscope and such!

Kay Theriault

All those finds promise to be very interesting as the results come in and the 'big picture' is put together. Getting it out of the ground is just step one...as Dani said, it's just the beginning to understanding what they've found and truly undestanding the whole dig/site. I can't wait to see what they show us! :D

Carl Johnson

That is something I didn't think about.. when the show is done all the finds had to be recorded and catalogued. Do you find anything unexpected while doing that and wish it would make the show>

JUDITH COOKE

Great to see some of the results of the three day dig. Looks like a very interesting story. Hours of cleaning have been involved. Looking forward to the reconstruction.

Cheryl Kurucz

Job everyone! Thank you so much for all your hard work! I appreciate you so much. Thank you everybody on time team and my fellow Patreon’s!

Graham Dombkins

Great to get to see even a little bit of all the actual behind the scenes work. Maybe a follow up on the various research facilities showing the process would be awesome

Jude Edling

I think this is the best snippet yet. Dani and Naomi at the end of Day Three, energized and excited that it's NOT the end but just the beginning. Digging is great fun but understanding what has been found is the story, the job and why Time Team is supported. Thank you everyone!

Peter

Lovely and experienced ladies, doing what they love😄👍🏻 It’s a pleasure to watch them.

Joel Johnston

Thanks for this; insights on post excavation work are fascinating.

David Boon

A wonderful teaser. I look forward to hopefully seeing more of the post-excavation phase that doesn’t spoil anything in the final show.
