We're delighted to announce that Time Team and the National Trust are working together on a landmark project to shed new light on Sutton Hoo, one of the UK's most iconic and significant archaeological sites.

Using state-of-the-art surveying techniques including our full suite of geophysics and drone-mounted photogrammetry, we are mapping the site – above and below ground – in a definition never seen before. It is hoped this will bring to light previously unidentified features for potential future investigation.

Members of the team including Tim Taylor, Dr John Gater, Jimmy Adcock, Adam Stanford and Helen Geake have visited the Royal Burial Ground in recent weeks to begin this exciting new project.

This new venture with the National Trust is in addition to our earlier announcement, working alongside the Sutton Hoo Ship's Company to film their reconstruction of the ship.

Together, we will delve deeper into the fascinating story of Sutton Hoo and we cannot wait to share more with you over the coming weeks.

What do you think might be found still? How much damage was done by the war?

Wow! That's super cool!!! - As I watched the years go by it seemed to me TT got more & more "trustworthy", as the cooperations with EnglishHeritage eg showed. Great news! :o)

Helge

Great! Will there be a full program about it?

Mika

Great! But what's this Lens stuff and why can't I find it via the Patreon web page, instead having to follow a cryptic link in an email?

Penny Screech

Just brilliant! I've always been fascinated by this site.

And it is not really 24 hours "of available time" if it comes in in a different time zone.

My husband bought me a rivet last for the reconstruction last year as a present so I am thrilled that Time Team and the National Trust are working together on this iconic site

Don Cook

Absolutely Wonderful!! What a dream come true!

Melinda Nagy

You mention new elements. The old format made it difficult to incorporate laboratory based methods such as isotope and genetics. Could such methods be incorporated in the new format?

Graham Adamson

I last trod the sands of Sutton Hoo in 1967 ..... I was part of the team from the BM that cast the ship in plaster-of-Paris . I am so excited that I 'm returning in the company of Time Team .
