Hi everyone,

We hope you're keeping well. 

We're thrilled to let you know that we've been working away on our 'long-list' of potential sites for 2022 and will be sharing details of the current contenders over the next week - right here on Patreon.

We have some intriguing possibilities that we're sure you'll love and, as always, we'll be asking you for your feedback along the way.

We'll also be announcing a new process for you to put forward your own site suggestions, so please keep a look out for the upcoming post.

Meanwhile, several members of the team have apparently been spotted out and about in various locations across the country. Are they just enjoying a leisurely stroll, or could they be investigating one of the potential contenders? 

Best wishes from all the team.

🙌👍 Awesomeness

Freda Bradley

I'm digging the photo with trees. Very intriguing.

Michael Louk

Love seeing this sort of behind the scenes photo with a resolution that can be made full screen. Keep’ ‘em coming!

Carole Cox

This is very engaging!

Kay Theriault

All those trees, lumps n' bumps are quite interesting!

Priscilla Logan

I'm with everyone else the trees with all the lumps and bumps looks interesting.

Robert Eslinger

Looking forward to what's under the lumps and bumps.

Don Cook

A furrowed forest ... do not think i've ever seen anything like that before.....Thank You!

Kerry Hennigan

Why not help Wirral Archaeology investigate the possible location of the Battle of Brunanburh. Confirming that site (or otherwise) would be an awesome achievement.

Ken Simpson

Looks like a hard place for geophysics

JUDITH COOKE

Looking forward to a year of exciting possibilities. So long as it’s Time Team I’ll be perfectly happy. Best wishes to the Team.

Caroline Bailey

Looking forward to new sites and fun archaeology 💜

Mark Lund

Here in Devon, (maybe other places) all the conifer plantations are planted on ridges like that. so it looks like that to me...hope I'm wrong.

Antony Graham

This looks like the landscape after ironworking

Nick Balmer

There are very similar lumps & bumps under pine trees near Corby in Northamptonshire, ranging from the small ones like those shown, to much larger mega furrows, left by Stewarts & Lloyds iron ore mining during World War II. A couple of miles north east in Wakerley Woods there are extensive Roman iron ore mines if you know where to look. A programme on the industrial landscapes near Corby from the Iron Age to the present date would be very worthwhile.

Thank you so much for re-viving Time Team - a much needed oasis of sanity and hope in somewhat dark times

Matt Rees

Hate to be a "debby-downer" but the furrows in the "forest" look like scarification done before planting regen trees (after harvesting), at least here in Canada

Robert Wise

Lumps & bumps? Can’t plausibly be old ridge & furrow can it? ‘Cause it would be eroded flattish by now? So I’m not de-mystified yet! And the photo with Stewart smiling like he’s just had that flash of insight where the pieces meld into an, "Ah Ha!" So the lumps and bumps are related to the other two photos somehow? And in the lumps and bumps photo, is that a structure behind the ~6th tree from the left? I believe I see horizontal lines back there…

Tim Yen

There's all these standing stones on Salisbury plain that I wonder if you could dig them. They are in sort of a circle, it could be a henge even?

MishaFox

Reminds me oddly enough of Verdun - the battlefield as it looks 100+ years later.

Donna Oglesby

reminds me of the Ardennes forest from WW2, that the 101st and 105th U.S airborne fought in.
